akamaru, you driving stick or CVT? if you're looking for any mods you should look into racingline, they're a parts shop base out of coquitlam

[akamaru]

haha although i wanna drive a stick, but my mom forced my to buy cvtcaz she said she wanna drive it some times...LOLthere's no way im gonna let her drive ityeah it's not too far away from me, cuz i live at coquitlam LOL

[akamaru]

oh~!　and do u know any place that sells wheels and tires that's not thatexpansive over the 1500$ mark?

[Blackmobile]

For anyone looking for rims/tires, go to Wheels West in Walnut Grove.They are on 88th ave and 206th street.They were about 800$ cheaper than Kaltire and 1010tires.Hope that helps anyone out!! I know I was stressed looking for wheels.

pkrutop mentioned that in the other vancouver thread in the general section.

pkrutop mentioned that in the other vancouver thread in the general section.

Thanks for quoting that Blackmobile! Beat me to it.

I actually drove by there the other day and it looked like they were closing down or something..

Their website is still up and running so maybe they're just moving or something.

Still the best place for prices that I found. Shoot them an email for a quote!

thx for the tip,by the way, is it illegal to put on blue license plate light?

[Blackmobile]

yes. blue lights are illegal on the outside of you car, as well as any red on the front of the car. it supposedly immitates emergency vehicles. stick with white on the outside, go as rainbow as you like for the interior tho

[akamaru]

gave up on the blue lights on the license part so i installedthem in to the map lights LOL now my interior lights are blue.headhunter what color's ur car?

[headhunt3r]

Silver

[akamaru]

did u do anything to ur car? maybe i've seen u before caz there aint that many silver ones at vanmostly black or white

[Blackmobile]

where did you get your bulbs from? and what lights did you change? just the maps??

[akamaru]

i got mine at some car stuff shop at richmond, like those small shops in the malli changed the map/dome and the lights under the door, also the license platelight too.

do you guys know where i can get exhaust system in van? i cant seem to find any place that sells them for our car mostly only carry for the 2.5.

[Blackmobile]

i'm surprised you don't know about racingline's Y-pipe that is almost finished since you talked to him recently. it's been under development for a while, he had a unit made but it didn't yield good enough results so it went back into the shop, he should be done soon. and it's for the 3.5

[akamaru]

lol shame on me i forgot about itbut it's only the y pipei want the whole thingLOLlike those greddy ti, stillen's, or artisan's

[pkrutop]

I know that Mopac out in Langley has the Borla exhaust.

Some dealerships like Jonker Nissan have the Stillen exhaust.

As far as Greddy and Artisan, no idea. I'm sure there's a shop somewhere in Vancouver that has them.

You might be better off ordering an exhaust online or going down south for a day and picking it up from the states.

I got my Stillen exhaust from Jonker Nissan. I paid a little bit extra for it but they cover the warranty and I didn't have to worry about shipping or anything.

[akamaru]

how much did it cost u to buy it from them??and how does it sound?i really wanted the greddy one.. but kinda expansivewould u suggest borla?

[akamaru]

cuz right now im thinking about getting the borla one

[pkrutop]

I paid like $1300 for it.

I know it's a lot but if you take into account the exchange rate, duty and taxes, you'd be coming pretty close to 1200.

I absolutely love the sound, worth every penny. Its got a nice growl but not too loud.

And it looks unreal with the dual mufflers.

I've never heard the Borla exhaust in person. It's supposed to be one of the deeper and louder exhausts and it's not as flashy.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Borla is one of the more expensive ones too.

[pkrutop]

If you get the Borla, we HAVE to meet up.

I've wanted to hear that exhaust for so long dude.

I wanted it so long ago but it was too expensive at that time.

[akamaru]

i called mopac and they say i'll have to wait for about...1 month for iti'll wait and see.if i really gets it and got it on, i'll let u knowwe could arrange an altima coupe meetbut im also waiting on racingline's springs.Joe from racingline said that their springs will have a drop like eibach's but with a lil bit lower front to balance outand it's coming out before may , he said, and i hope LOLjust before the sunshine

[akamaru]

have any one of you guys hooked the audi like led s on to ur carin van?

[Blackmobile]

i've been wanting to do it for a while, I might do it this summer if things are going well, however i'm getting a lot of resistance from everyone i suggest it to telling me to keep the rice factor down and don't do it. i love em but i guess they can seem a little bit

and which style are you talking about? the strip beside the fogs or the strip under the headlights?

[pkrutop]

I did the strip beside the fogs. I think it looks really good.

The strips I got off of ebay are a tad bit too blueish for my taste so I bought some new ones. Just waitin for some sun to hook them up.

[Blackmobile]

pic?

[akamaru]

i kinda wanna do the one under the head lights not the fog onebut my mech skill isnt that good LOLif any one of u wanna do it together during the summer let me knowmaybe we could order it together or something

i dont care about the rice factor LOLi just love the look of it

[pkrutop]

I'll snap a pic once the rain stops dude.

I was thinking about the headlight one aswell but once the headlights are on, you can't really see them.

[Blackmobile]

how do you want to hook them up? individual switch or tap them into another light source like your drl or fog? i might be interested in a team effort to do this setup in the summer. i'm waiting for all the rain to stop so that i can redo my tail light tints and wire my fogs

[akamaru]

it's pretty at the day time LOLcaz i hate the yellow dtlr and i heard that we cant get rid off the orange thing or els u'll geta ticket...so i wanna do it under the headlight connect it to htrl lines.looks very nice during day time.yeah i wanna do it during the summer, but my mech skill's verylimited LOLim only good at the design part

[Blackmobile]

it's not too hard of a setup, it's mainly just wiring, and you can make it even easier if you just use t-taps, then you don't have to even splice any wires. that's as technical as it gets other than removing the bumper, and maybe removing the headlights.

I don't see why you'd get a ticket for removing the orange reflector, it's ony the parking light.

[akamaru]

i c~ i might do it during the summer time,and why is it snowing today...
