Man, this morning I was thinkin to myself....it's pretty much February, so that means we have almost 2 months of hardcore winter left. Luckily March isn't really that bad, Feb is a toss up usually.

^^very true!! hopefully this winter wont screw around anymore tho!
its been pretty messed up till now!

ok, after some deep thinking, i have decided to get some minor mods to make the ride a winie bit better, im gonna get a muffler, and lower the car, i am thinking of teins (just srpings), or goldlines.

what do u need to install a muffler, a welder? or should i just let someone do it for me.

 
Rep Power: 319

SWEET!!!
okay for the muffler ur gonna need the right tools to take off hte spring loaded bolts. I dont think its possible with simple hand tools. Air tools most recommended, or just cutting them off. After that install is a joke I assume. As for the srpings id say go for it. As long as u drive decently on ur stock shocks they should be okay!

Tek has the air tools....if you're lookin to do this at the install party.

if you get universal mufflers, you need them installed by a shop since you need cutting tools and welder, but if it's direct bolt on, it's easy as chaning engine oils.

dang, I was gonna drop my car as well but I dont think it's good idea now since I got a full fiberglass kit.

oh yeah, I might get a moonroof installed later this year, it was quoted 850 with a pro install and warranty anyone interested?

 
Rep Power: 564

Have you seen their work? I don't need one but I'm curious as to how nice it would look.

 
Rep Power: 319

Player:just get a muffler with an over axle pipe and its direct bolt on so no worries about welding and ****.
Skiboard:WHY U WHINING???"ohh i only have a full kit so i dunno if i can lower now" Wow ur a chump!!! forget about lowering u have a body kit pal!!! SHEESH!!
and as for the moonroof tha's be pretty sweet!!! we should all get one and get a discount!!!

 
Rep Power: 0

nope, but he said that it should be high quality at that price.

 
Rep Power: 564

interesting. I would check into that before I let someone cut a gaping hole in my roof.

 
Rep Power: 316

Yeah I second that one. I've been told that aftermarket sunroofs have a tendancy to leak, if you don't go to the right place.

 
Rep Power: 306

^^I herd the same thing

 
Rep Power: 354

dammit, i cant sleep, i am so low on sleep but i still cant fall asleep, this damn gym is killing me, i am all sore and tired, but i cant sleep, aaaaah

anyways, here is the delimma now, if i lower my car, then i wont be autocrossing this season, cause i know i would bust my shocks if i do. so now i dont know if i should autocross or lower, and if i lower should i go goldline with a nice 1.7 drop or teins with a 1.3 drop. bah

by the way baller, how much did u pay for your exhaust

 
Rep Power: 315

d00d, your shocks are gonna blow anyways...autocross or not.

autocross won't directly bust your struts...daily driving over potholes will! that's what did me in: potholes.

so do the drop, dawg

Tek : Can I buy the headlight off you sometime this week? just pick a best time/place for you

 
Rep Power: 319

player:i got my muffler a long time ago and im pretty sure i got ripped off!!! I cant remember exact price, but u should be able to find one for 200-350 maybe?
as for ur shocks, dont trust tek!! Have u seen the way he drives around the street!!! Its obvious his are gonna blow!!! I say if u get them and dont go too crazy then they wont blow!! Mine havent yet!!( knock on wood) Hopefully they will hold out till i can afford some hayames!

 
Rep Power: 354

haha, tek comon, you saw how my car was all over the place in autosross, and with my weight, they r bound to burst, i think im gonna just lower and take it easy till i can get shocks

 
Rep Power: 315

not a bad idea. but, the stock struts are known to blow...so they'll probably blow whether or not you slam it, ya know?

don't be gay: get springs or coils! hehehe

 
Rep Power: 315

I pm'd ya...hit me with an email (address is in the pm)

Tek: Exactly, my struts had to be replaced. When I went in for my service (type C I think) they checked the struts (I asked them to) and all the other essentials, the mechanic came out and asked me what year my car was, when I told him it was an '01 he was surprised when I told him they were never replaced.

~~ how much did it cost for you to get your struts replaced???

So yes, they will eventually go with or without springs. (maybe faster with though... who knows...

 
Rep Power: 354

mine is a 2002, supposedly the 2002's have better shocks, i dunno

 
Rep Power: 564

Nope, the 2004's have the best one's. I got the 04's in my 2K1

 
Rep Power: 354

ok so here is the plan, i gotta bust my shocks now, go get them replaced to 2004, and then lower my car.

any suggestion on how to bust them

 
Rep Power: 315

yeah, just drive around hehehe

i bet they're already blown, you just haven't noticed cuz you haven't driven another vic!

 
Rep Power: 354

ok so here is the deal, this weekend, we have to meet by the airport and make a track full of speed bumps, and i have to drive over them till my shocks are dead, whos up for a shock killing party ?

 
Rep Power: 306

Are springs under warranty? cuz mine are pretty rough on the speed bumps and potholes. Is there anyway I can tell if they are other then taking them to Honda?

 
Rep Power: 319

Im suprised mine havent gone yet! Maybe they have and i just dont know it...if so its not that bad ridin' blown!!! hahaha
As for the busting party, go for it dawg!! Just dont do it by hand!! Make it seem realistic!!! I should take off my springs and do that to get some new ones!!! hahaha
oh guy i got my next project lined up after lip kit!
Im gonna get 2 power windown kits and install them on my dx ****!!! hahaha i cant wait....power windows will be nice to have!!! whaddyya guys think?

 
Rep Power: 316

EXTRA WEIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why bother.... ask yourself this.... do you NEED it. I'd rather spend the cash on performance!!

Andrew: You can check for leaky oil (yes your shocks have oil in them). if they are all gunky and sticky I'd get them checked.... or if your ride is REALLY soft over bumps.... thats another sign. By soft I mean the car bounces more than 1.5 time over a speed bump or a big pothole. Your car shouldn't be jumpin like a pimped out caddy
