Vancouver / GVRD Coupes, are you out there?

Post by **Blackmobile** » Wed Dec 17, 2008 10:54 am

I think there's just one other forum member here from the lower mainland / Vancouver area that I've seen, any others? Calgary's got a pretty good number of members, where are all the Vancouverites at?

Present! There are a few of us. I'm in Surrey, doin' it Super Black.

Looks like we like our black cars. Anyone here done any mods other than tires/rims?

Just the basic stuff... HIDs & grounding kitI plan on doing tint + rims later on

Post by **pkrutop** » Thu Dec 18, 2008 2:21 pm

I have the Stillen exhaust, grounding kit and Doc's kickplates.I did the prototyping for Racingline for the intake and front strut bar so I'm getting those aswell. Don't really plan on too much else i think.. but we'll see

I wonder why Calgary's got such a strong number of coupes. I would have thought that there'd be way more from Vancouver. Good to see that there's still some of us though!

So far i've just got mine tinted back 3 windows, tinted tails, HID's and interior led's done.

Whos loving this snowy weather we've been having??

Post by **Blackmobile** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:16 am

Oh yeah it's great, especially with the snow that supposed to come tuesday and wednesday too. First white xmas we've had in a few decades

For those with the stock tires, you guys doing alright on the roads? i'm slipping on the side streets, almost got stuck 15 meters away from work in a snow bank but managed to crawl out. took me about half an hour to get out of my driveway though, that's what i get for being too lazy to shovel.

Hey guys what are your vehicle specs I4/V6, MT/CVT

Oh ya I'm in coquitlam

I've actually been doing pretty good in the snow, haven't got stuck YET w00t. My sister's A/C on the other hand has been slipping quite a bit. Both of us are running OEMs - the only thing that I can conclude is TCS helps ALOT in the snow

I got a 6 banger, sis has a 4 banger - both CVT

Post by **Racingline** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:51 pm

TCS is awesome, just floor it and your good to go. stopping on the other hand......lol

I was really lucky today i was all over the place from westwood to delta, and although there was some tretcherous spots and I plowed a few driveways without pay, I did alright as well, especially considering the 4 inchs of ground clearance

Post by **Blackmobile** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 11:21 am

I4 6MT for me, 2.5S black w/ the convenience package. Westwood plateau's not bad right now, they usually plow it really good. The biggest problem is trying to find street parking, everyone's shovelling their snow into massive piles where car's normall park.

Everyone ready for the next dump coming tomorrow and xmas? Time to bring out the chains

Post by **6sp3.5** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 2:02 pm

I put winter tires on my oem's.Having no problems with that.

Other than wheels, I have a back 3 tint & a Nissan spoiler.

Anyone here riding in a black 2.5S that drives over the port mann bridge around 5:30pm? i've been beside that car twice in the last 2 weeks driving home from work. it's the only other black coupe i've seen around, though i know others are out there.

Post by **Racingline** » Tue Dec 23, 2008 5:12 pm

6sp3.5----you interested in helping with the 3.5 STS? I need a 3.5 6spd to help in testing

Post by **6sp3.5** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 1:02 pm

Short throw? Sounds interesting.When & how long?

Post by **Racingline** » Wed Dec 24, 2008 4:03 pm

I already have sample kits made I just need to confirm fitment of one part. So whenever your ready. install will only take about an hour as long as no fabrication is needed. And even then it wont take long. I know everything fits except one bracket.

email me when you have time these holidays and the snow storm [email protected]

Merry Christmas guys and girls!

Joe

Anyone know where to get an intake locally for a decent price? really tired of getting things from the US.

Post by **pkrutop** » Sun Dec 28, 2008 10:56 am

You should just wait until Racingline releases their intakes.They make a great product at an amazing price.Best of all, you can pick it up right from Joe!!

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.

Post by **Blackmobile** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 8:19 am

Any word on when that might be? few months? next year? hope not too long.

Thanks for the advice on the rims/tires too, always good to know where to get a good deal

Post by **6sp3.5** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 12:09 pm

Just got the short shift in and I like it. Nice unit, simple to install.No more long throws for me.

Post by **Blackmobile** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 7:49 am

Now that you've had the sts for a few days now, how do you like it? pros/cons?

Joe: Any deals for us in the lower mainland w/ local pickup? when it's available of course.

Post by **Racingline** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 9:35 am

I still have on e of the pre-production units if you want to come buy and get a better discount. email me

Post by **6sp3.5** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 11:57 am

Blackmobile, do it. Totally worth it. I can't come up with a con.

Post by **Blackmobile** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 9:27 am

Took your advice 6sp3.5 i'm getting it installed later this week. I was going to on saturday but it snowed like mad, the contipros wouldn't have faired well vs the westwood plateau

Post by **6sp3.5** » Mon Jan 05, 2009 1:17 pm

Missed this thread with all the skiing I'm doing...

I'm in PoCo so somewhat in the middle of everyone put together. I didn't realize Racingline was so close! I still have to buy your tower brace... After I get some money, probably on my next co-op in May?
