$85 CAD later, problem solved :alonehappy: arriving on the 24th, installing on the 25th. Looking to get the RR to match the LR's -5 degrees of camber.

Must be a Honda problem. My TSX has the same issue. With all of 70,000km, no accidents.

Added a bit of bump. $180 on Amazon. Sub/amp/box combo. Easy disconnects for removal.

My Lordco & Napa receipts for Project Audi are nearing $650 just this week alone. Ugh, not even really fun stuff to photograph...

i'm more interested in knowing why you have a framed photo of a man with a snake wrapped around him.

white rocket: Find some kind of security nuts or something to prevent those lights from getting stolen, seems to be happening a lot lately.

I picked up a second ultragauge for the TT and discovered some small revisions to the EM1.2 version I have in the Mazda...it is mostly the same as my current one, but they have added a Performance folder.

wider r comps for the widebody

these tires will used exclusively for street driving and snow days

my old set of r888 heat cycled out but still has tread for street driving - sadly too thin now
werent too happy with the r888 lasting only 5 track days going to give the nt01 a try as they are a similar compound to the ra1 which is suppose to last longer

sadly cannot run slicks unless i have a way to transport it down lol

They're on my accord, but a bit too noisy when cornering hard.


Tires feel great so far with all this rain, its great for Vancouver weather. A definite improvement from my last set of hankook v12 summer tires.

The ride feels more firm, steering is better and yes theres more road noise from these tires. Then again the s2000 cabin is not great at keeping out road/tire noise.

On topic, I got a oem replica spoiler as well. Paint match is good for the price paid.

Just picked up a new electronic distributor (From a 280zx) to replace my points system, just went home to take the mount off new motor (Yet to be installed) and put it on the old motor. Mount is missing! Shit!ake mushrooms. Ugh, heres to hoping the 280zx in the junkyard have them or else I could be in for quite the search.

bcuzracecarz 04-04-2015 03:31 PM

Ordered a new Cobb catted downpipe from Dale's...hopefully install soon after it arrives, get back to stage 2+ again!

euromoron 04-04-2015 05:20 PM

Renewed my insurance. Gotta love paying nearly the same as the value of the car just to keep the thing on the road for a year. Not having a job + paying in full with a tiny discount makes for a serious kick in the nuts.

But hey, at least I managed to put the sticker on straight. :fuckyea:

dared3vil0 04-04-2015 06:32 PM

Holy crap I did not realize they were this wide... :O
