where did you buy your wheels?

Sorry for the late reply. I bought mine from a company out in BC. KX Wheels.
I would talk to @Stav at JRP about getting wheels in the GTA. Everyone seems to be happy with him.

Thanks man. Zero drone with stock head, op, catless front pipe and q300. I am having my UEL ceramic coated but I am hoping there is no drone. If there is, Ill throw the stock fp back on.

Hope that helps :)

Finally got a proper alignment done on the car. RCE Yellow springs, Whiteline camber bolts and SPC RLCA. The car feels much more planted now and the turn in is crisp! 95 bucks well spent :)

I got my header back from ceramic coating today. It looks fantastic! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...b18e077e31.jpg

Went out for a drive with a buddy of mine and snapped some pictures. Sorry they are cellphone quality.

I was bored yesterday afternoon and decided I would try to install my Borla UEL header. I say "try" becuase I have never attempted to do anything to that extent. Overall it is not a very difficult task, its just a bit time consuming (took me about 3 hours). The only real issues I had with the install were removing the header nuts and the O2 sensors, but with a breaker bar and a lot of WD40 they came off with little fuss. Of course torquing the header nuts (one in particular) was a bit of a challenge and you need a flex joint for your ratchet.
Here are a few pictures from the install. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...60b159e58e.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...221c8f3570.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...3d45070e90.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...fb9b5ca404.jpg

[IMG]http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160325/0ef1ed12c40731a3***3fe30469954c0.jpg[/IMG]I had a Q300 with a catless front pipe but wasn't a fan of the tone. It was a bit harsh for my liking so I put the stock front pipe back on and it smoothed things out quiet a bit.

So sad that you couldn't wait Dan! Ah well. We'll have fun doing my AC condenser and radiator. Remember to bring sufficient beer :)

Hahaha sorry man, I got excited. I'm sure we will be frustrated enough after we finish your car ;) :cheers:

I hear it's quite a long job to do those 2, hopefully I won't feel like setting the car on fire

Brzworld meet at your place? Lol. Multiple hands make light work.
