I finally got my car!!! Insurance was a bitch to get but it's taken care of now. I got it last night, but not until 8:30pm...and I was out in the west-end...so I didn't make it to the meet. I'll be there next week though.

It's totally stock...and will be for a while...money is tight.
The first things I'm getting are coilovers, struts, and an Alpine head unit. Then I gotta save till I get other stuff.

I bought Skunk2 coilovers on eBay (new) for $200 + $31 shipping, since it's an indiviual, he said he'll mark it as a gift and put a low value...hopefully I wont have to pay duties.

As for shocks...probably Koni Reds...

Engine mods...NONE... In 2-3 years Ill swap out that crappy D16



Let me know what you think of it!

Good stuf..........reminds me of my car, bone stock

Cantonagod

SiR-Racer

sam

i can hear Duy falling of his chair in laughter and Jeff stabbing himself with his IV needle cause he's laughing so hard...



hehe... but yea, an alarm is a good deterent. No alarm will do jack all if a pro really want's your ride, but it will ward of the punk kids who have much time on their hands since schools' nearly out.

Give Diamond a call at Auto Sound Design 330 Steeles Ave W, Thornhill, ON (905)881-1311

Looks like a nice car! So when are we going to see it at a meet???...

GuNmETaL_Si

Thanks Guys! whos duy and jeff btw? moderators? Anyways...Ill be there Wednesday for sure hopefully i will have an alarm by them. what alarm is good for ~$200?

imported_Stock Si

i would ask Pulovr about that alarm, he has some for sale, i am not sure what they are, but pm him, he will help you out!

GuNmETaL_Si

thanks...ill do that now, i was in future shop yesterday and they had viper alarms...which i heard were good. Does FS install them properly? anyone heard anything about futureshop installs?

rbius

futureshop kicks *** **IF** you go to the right locations... heheheh ^pitch pitch^ check out the guys down at 427/dundas they're really good

SiR-Racer

in that case dont bother with the yonge/finch location. service sucks *** there!

Jugglez

Hey it looks clean... congrats.

GuNmETaL_Si

hehe...it 'looks' clean...at least from my pics...cleaned up in PHotoshop...but up close you can notice little dents all over...paint chip in one little place...as for the engine...it really is pretty clean.

ANyways, what about the futureshops at warden/eglinton and kennedy/ellesmere...im close to those

rbius

younge/finch? big surprise.. like i said, come down to 427/dundas.. (it helps I'm an installer there )

EL_Sport

Not sure about now, but the install at Kennedy/Ellesmere used to be poor quality. Personally, I would buy the alarm at FS and get a good audio shop to do the install.

Good luck, and congrats on the new ride.

Ok, nice car, but D16y8 crappy? Nonono you are wrong!

Well, ultimately, it's up to you. But I just need to say a 13sec daily driven SOHC is something my DOHC friends crave.

GuNmETaL_Si

relative to a lot of engines...its crappy...but its not that bad...especially if its turbo'd like yours..i wanna see your car...are you at the meets?
