646 taxes in

The best deal I could find.... I tried everywhere between here and digby.... They wanted 800 for a set of nexens at most places.... Maxxis tires are aa for traction and a for temperature plus a 280 treadware rating

K&n is good for 30whp 90wtq, cat is good for 50whp 110wtq and tires are a traction mod.

Well i got abit of work done on my bike. Got the replacement rear brake lever in. Couldnt get the bike to fire up to change my tune abit cuz of it being cold as hell. I went to install my HID's but i realised DDM Tuning sent me a wrong bulb. Its suppose to be H9 for Hi-Beam and H11 for Low Beam, they send me 2 H9's...******* retards. So i got the hi beam in. I'm ordering a new bulb and a LED for the center nose light.









Hard to fit the ballast in there cuz of my alarm is on that side of the bike.

Got my tires put on yesturday and my exhaust leak fixed so I'm good to go now......going to order a set of hawk hps pads for front and rear and get my rotors resurfaced because they are squeeling and grooving(gm says this is normal lmao). I will be getting a tune over top of the stage kit sometime soon, just not sure when. May even invest in hp tuners this summer and take some courses to learn how to tune.... Not sure yet

Yours out yet jerren? I decided to bring my bike home today. Fixed the HID issue i had so both are working now...DDM set me the right bulbs but they wired the wires backwards so i had to flip the wire running to the ballast around. Cant get my engine to turn over cuz of to much fuel in the tune so tomorrow im hooking the computer up and fix that.

Here is the pictures of what i got done tonight. Also orderd LED's that fit into the nose piece light to make it match the high low beam.

Before:


After:


Low Beam:


High Beam (not much of a difference since im in my parking spot)



Sometime next week im meeting up with the guy that bought my old cobalt and he is letting me go for a rip once he replaces the clutch. Either the him or the dealership burned the clutch..lol.

A few updates for me..

-Sportlines are in Canada, just not at my door yet.
-I'm awaiting the final pieces i need to put my stereo in and they are in the mail on there way.

I also just ordered a H11 DDM HID Kit 6000K for my foglights... order wasn't shipped yet so i called and added a H7 Kit 6000K for the Gen 4's that i will be ordering come pay day Friday.

I hate the waiting game..... All this stuff in the mail and nothing here

Yeah I'm tired of spending money on my car.....outside of new pads. What I have instore for the future could be pretty wild, which won't be for a while if at all Was mentioning to whitty the other day that I was gonna order a set of gen 4's and hids but not sure now. Just gonna drive it for now and if **** blows up, I'll upgrade it. Would like to give my car to the gf when her lease is up and get myself an evo 9 or evo x. Have to see tho.

lol, gotta love that waiting game huh marrant. DDM fucked something up for me. I thought my low beam HID was fucked (kinda is) so i went and orderd a new one, came to $74 shipped. However i got it working that night and called them and talked to a guy to cancel the order. He said it was canceled, i just got a email from UPS saying it was shipped and 74 just came off my credit card. Now i have to play the waiting game to send it back so i can get my money back.

Clarkes chevy in fredericton replaced my pads and resurfaced my rotors last month under warranty with 18k km on the car. Its not a normal issue at all! They told me if it happens again they will replace it again under warranty.

Well i added LED lights in the center light on my bike. I'll have pics up tomorrow if its nice out. Also started the install of my sound system. I bought 2x 10" Rockford Fosgate Subs, 1200 Audiobahn Amp, Wiring kit...then went out today and bought a Kenwood KDC-MP732 headunit. Reg price was $411...i got it for $179 (awesome sale) However, i didnt know that this model doesnt have a port to plug in or wire up the adaptor for the stearing wheel controls. So tomorrow ill be returning the head unit...might buy another one or might not...havent decided.

Returned the MP732 and got a Kenwood X791..also picked up the wiring harness for my car. Got the headunit in and working. Doing some trouble shooting now, as to why the amp wont turn on...i think i know the problem though. So tomorrow ill fix that...hopefully. Other then that, i have started looking into a few shops to see which one will be the best to paint my car when the body kit comes in.

Why not install the the stereo yourself? Its actualy not that hard. I just put a Kenwood X791 headunit, 2x 10" Rockford Fosgate Subs and a 1200w audiobahn amp in my car...did all the wiring myself for the first time ever. And i dont like doing wiring but it was free...lol
