Took some last minute 2013 photos after work on my phone quickly. :P and to take some pics of my new hid's i went for a 55w 8000k setup this time as the 35w kit i had seemed really dull, but these up next to a 05 Accord Euro with stock HIDs they have relatively the same output. plus the parks match up in color now :D

I also realised how high the rear end is, i think coil over adjustment is in order after i fit my DCuatro stuff

Anyone out there a XBOX Nerd? and ever played Forza 4? I was little disappointed when forza 5 on xbox one was released without the FTO in it, so i still find myself playing the 360.

One day i'd like mine to be simular color to mine in FM4! (also looks close to Dstocks car too)

Also little update! Decided to upgrade from my deathtrap tires today, getting two new Federal 595's installed on the front! picked them up for $140 each installed so im pretty happy. pics later when they're on! and a wheel alignment!

Okayy very happy with this purchase, for $140 each im happy. My other tires were 215/35/18 by Altenzo horrible horrible horrible, no grip in wet and lost grip pretty quick in the turns, and they are also newish (bought them for roadworthy a year ago)

I have read that these are not exactly perfect in the wet either but time will tell. I also love their aggressive stance and look nicer around the sidewall than the other ones. (Same size too)

Also, should i get the rears done? or just leave them be, i only got the fronts done for now. watcha fellas and chickas think?

I dont know how to embed videos, and that youtube button dont work :lol: but heres a little video of my exhaust i got a little while back (If you remember me asking in general)

Set up is a 2.5" mandrel bent with a hurricane muffler, sounds different in the car and its the first time i've really herd it from outside the cabin, i like it, sounds nice. It was also recorded from my phone, so use 720p :P

New Rims, wanted to get the damaged one replaced but they dont make them anymore. these are the only 18's in my size and offset they had in-store to fit today other wise i'd be waiting till monday. so guess these will have to do!

My DC lip was damaged, not to bad considering the gutter that mashed into it.

Also the tyre place fucked one of my hubs up, grinding the stud off. so they'll be paying for new/used hub and costs to put on :P

So for the 3rd post if you've got one let me know! (passenger side rear)

Damn that's a serious break. :| bet that would have been a jolt! I bent a steel rim once hitting the edge of a curb, but nowhere near as bad as that.

Just been lightly raining and i took a banked roundabout with Im guessing a lot of diesel sh*t on the road from exhausts, wasn't going that fast either. rear slid out first and i tried to get it back but car just snapped back and B lined the gutter and rim went straight first into gutter. Nothing but the rim and my Front lip were damaged. At the time i thought the whole car was a write off i could just see butchered panels and broke lights. but was lucky.

These are the studs the tyre place decided to cut off cause they fucked the threads. mechanic i take it too usually said that they have special "things' I cant remember what he called them that help slot the stud in the back of the hub and they've been stripped (top of the bolt you can see its all shiny) said that you'd want to track down a 2nd hand or new hub because the back of it where the studs go in would be the same inside. He said just find it and he'll wack it on no charge.

Going to try see if this place will pay for the new hub i found on ebay. fingers crossed.
