Detroit: New forum for '03
 
Wasup guys...Just thought we should start a new thread...since we got the new year ahead of us...

Bobby or Hotek...u ever gonna put a kit on your rides...? Maybe if all 3 of us buy something at the same time from someone...we can work out a discount...I'm just throwing out an idea...cause I wanna get some sides and possibly a front lip come March...cause I'll have to have those so I can get everything painted along with my eyebrows...

xHoteKx 01-03-2003 01:51 PM

im not sure if i want to get a kit yet.. but if i do, i'll probably get the new 03 aero front and sides and the OEM rear lip. but my 2nd choice is the full kaminari lip kit. so im not too sure yet

bobbyd 01-03-2003 06:38 PM

Platnum, I am not looking at getting a kit. And good luck matching your silver for a kit. I hear that Honda Silver is hard to match. But when you get ready let me know and we can see what Flexivity can do. They have done a lot of 2001+ Civic kits and they get them painted and installed.

Tomo, is this you? Tomo?

PlatnumBomb 01-03-2003 09:47 PM

well...isn't part of the deal of takin something to be painted also to be that it matches up with what the customer expects?

I'm not gonna shell out a possible 300-something or more dollars just to have the place tell me thats as close as they can come...I think I'm gonna end up going with the RS lip from ebay...runs about 130 shipped usually...and get the oem or new aero sides...I'm not so sure I'm gonna even bother with a rear as of now...If I spent the money...it would be oem or aero...

EDIT: where the hell has edgar been? he's MIA..

huyqvu 01-04-2003 10:47 AM

when i had my stuff painted, the shop used paint from honda. he even showed me the can and it had the honda logo on it. if the shop cant match it, tell them to fade it into the rest of the car.

Yeah, Flexivity ended up using Honda paint ont here kits as well. When I was in the shop they were all like...This freaking silver does not match up! Then I told them that a lot of people have that trouble and they send them to Honda to be painted now instead of who they were using.


xHoteKx 01-04-2003 02:46 PM

hey if one of you guys have a midpipe for an EX coupe, lemme know. i need to buy one.

i think edgar wanted to trade my whole exhaust for his stock exhaust, but he dissapeared:susp:

yah...how is that?...what gives?

So I'm having second thoughts now...I'm thinking screw the kit...prob just drop the car an inch...get sides only and add some sidemarkers and the eyebrows...I don't wanna spend all the money for a front lip and rear lip...but I think the OEM sides will make a nice addition...but hell...my mind might change in 5 minutes...

I think if you only get the sides it is going to look ugly its going to look like a truck with running boards. go with all or nothing i like oem kit it looks real smooth

xHoteKx 01-04-2003 11:26 PM

platnum: technically you still cant use swear words.. but you just gotta know the code for this forum.. just quote where i swore, and look at wat i typed. its simple.

edgar: well, i have a heated garage, but its not all that warm.. well warmer than it is outside. so if you want, we can setup some day to work. and i have a 2 car garage. i dont have any jacks or jackstands though:_doh: just gimme a ring sometime. Cell: 734-552-2063 Home: 734-676-9666

bobbyd 01-04-2003 11:58 PM

How the f**k can we swear now?

Tomo and Edgar: If you all need to use my jack and stands, let me know.

Platnum: Have you ever seen a car with just sides? I would like to see how that would look too.

xHoteKx 01-05-2003 12:41 AM

instead of typing f**k straight out, type like f(b)(/b)uck. but replace ( ) with [ ]:tup:

bobby: alright, thanx man


PlatnumBomb 01-05-2003 01:39 PM

well shit....

Yeah...I wanna see a coupe with just the sides too...Some chick had a red 6th gen with rims at my apt last year...I didnt think it looked bad at all...I think if anything sides would look ok by themselves...some people who've put on a bumper or added a front lip IMO makes their car more offbalance...

but to each his own...

bobbyd 01-05-2003 02:44 PM

No problem Tomo.

I used to see alot of S-10's / Sonoma around with just the front bumper and hated it. Actually i still see a few around. Makes the front look to big without anything else.


****
shit
I have a big cock
cunt bitch

with or without tax? well after tax, it'll come out to 222.60.. and its 222 shipped from tornactive.com. so sounds like you're not gettin a deal, but not gettin ripped off.. seems fair to me. you're talking about the eibach pro-kit right?

bobbyd 01-06-2003 10:29 PM

right, the pro-kit. well jeff told me i could get sweet deals but Rob is liking working with a jew!

xHoteKx 01-07-2003 12:30 AM

lol [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

bobbyd 01-07-2003 08:07 AM

I am serious. Jeff tells me I can get these awesome deals then I go in and talk to Rob and it is like dealing with them jewlers at the Trade Center. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/IMG] I have to go in and talk to Jeff. He is always gone by the time I get there though.

PlatnumBomb 01-07-2003 08:35 AM

210 u say?...that seems a little more than I wanna spend...I was hopin for 175 or less for springs...

bobbyd 01-07-2003 12:55 PM

You and me both Platnum. I talked to Mike (Yoko) a few minutes ago and he told me to bypass Rob and talk to Jeff. But now I am thinking GC's cause I am affraid the pro-kit will be too high and the sportlines will be too low....and the GC's got high ranking over on xceedspeed.

PlatnumBomb 01-07-2003 02:15 PM

hmm...I dunno...How much do the GC's run then???...Maybe I should just keep my dropzones...You said you've been happy with them...

xHoteKx 01-07-2003 04:29 PM

im switching to use GC coils. on tornactive you can use the 7thgen5off coupon code to get 5% discount. :tup:

Yeah, I like them. The only thing I don't like is that if you don't keep them clean you will have a hard time busting them loose to adjust them. But hell, if you are only going an inch then you won't have to adjust them back up in the winter.

Edgar: Help us out here....How do you like your GC's?

bobbyd 01-08-2003 09:28 AM

Ok, I saw this guy at Flexivity with a 2001 Civic. It was black, chrome license plate frame, stock look except tint, some superstreet decals on the rear quarter glass, 2 door. He was in there saying he could not figure out how to install his Injen cai. I tried to give him advice and told hime the front bumper needs to come off. Well, he acted like he did not want my advice so I just said fockit. I saw him on Eureka out by the mall last night. He has a gauge pod with indiglo gauges in it. I did not like that. It seems that the indiglo would be so bright it would get on my nerves shining in my face. Anyway, has anyone seen this guy?

Starting to see a lot more 2001+'s in the area. Cool:tup:

PlatnumBomb 01-08-2003 11:03 AM

I see tons of 7thgens up here...Only seen a few that have mods...

And of course...all the females asked daddy to get them the EX's w/spoilers...lol

xHoteKx 01-08-2003 12:27 PM

ive also seen a black 7gen.. had black altezzas (not the tyc like i do) and some fart can and some tint. drivin by some highschool kid.. i saw him at tacobell went i went in there a few nites ago.. saw him checkin out my car, but i didnt have time to talk to him. i need to print out some 7gencivic.com business cards

bobbyd 01-08-2003 12:37 PM

I see a red one around a lot and this silver one down my street. The other day I saw this one on Fort street. It was black with a body kit. Really a nice car. But it had stock wheels on it. Wait, it was Edgar [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

I can not wait to start having meets again. I miss our Flexivity meets. Then when the HIRCC crew comes it is free entertainment. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

xHoteKx 01-08-2003 12:54 PM

theres a red civic with altezzas, cleared headlights, and a huge CIVIC sticker on his back window. he goes to my school.. nice kid, but i see him being a ricer :tdown:

yea i miss the flex meets. HIRCC is more than entertainment.. i just cant stop laughing at them [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] HIRCC? as long as you drive a neon/cavalier/or some other ricer car, and you got LED shit, you're in. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] and bryan is the biggest moron ever! and bobby gave his number to him ::snicker::

bobbyd 01-08-2003 01:01 PM

Bryan aint all that bad, he just annoys the h3ll out of you to join that club. That one time those thug wanna bes showed up too. I don't want to be in a club with a bunch of wiggers and mullets. The one guy in the silver neon is pretty decent, I talked to him a lot at the xceed bbq.

OK GUYS!!!!!!!: Lets do it! Lets have a winter get together somewhere. Or we can all hit up a kart 2 kart indoor karting even with xceed one day soon. OR lets think of another place to meet. Any ideas?

xHoteKx 01-08-2003 01:50 PM

hmmm, we could have a lil get together when me n edgar swap our exhausts.. or uhh, go somewhere to catch a bite to eat? i actually have money, lots of it, this time, so money is finally not an option :):tup:

[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] now thats wat i call a pain in the ass! i still gotta wait for my cat/downpipe to come in, and then i gotta talk to edgar to setup a time/day to do it. we can do it in my garage since i have a semi-heated 2 car garage.. i'll just kick my moms car out in the driveway til were done:)

bobbyd 01-08-2003 03:00 PM

Cool, I am there dude. :tup: I just hope I don't get jacked by some Grosse Ile mullet on the way over. You live off of Church right?

PlatnumBomb 01-08-2003 03:12 PM

wanna put my coilovers on that day??? lol![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]:)

STYLIN2K2 01-08-2003 03:32 PM

the ground controls are good it the the stock shocks i dont care if you go eith the GC's you can get away with just getting the rear koni's thats where all the bottom out comes from dont have any bproblem with my front struts which is cool because you wont have to rebuild your fronts for you's that are going with GC's and im sure it'll work with the dropzone or anyother coilovers this is what i recomend

front: GC coilover with factory struts
rear: GC coilovers with rear koni yellows
spc or ingalls camber kit if you have 17" or under wheels other wise you'll be setting like this /==\
buying just the rear shocks should save you money and a headache

I will be selling my Gc's this year they are 2 years old i'll be getting the tiens hopefully next month or so
