    Thanks dude

    So I got a little work done on the car today.
    Decided i would refurbish the roadstars a bit, they had minor curb rash so i sanded the lips down a bit and will be priming+painting them afterwards.




    They will be for sale when i'm finished with them!

    When i got my oem suspension back on, i stripped the threads inside the hole where the bottom nut goes in.. here's a pic to explain the spot.

    Any ideas how i can get that thing fixed?

    And then i started the interior tear down for upcoming plans during the winter! First time doing that kind of thing so hopefully it will go as i planned!


    After taking my carpet out, i noticed that it was really humid even wet under it (under my passenger seat area..) The floors are in very good shape, no holes no rust.. i wonder where that water comes from!!

    Yeah it sucks man, they just want to control everything and get rid of everything different. They wont stop us tho, we gon keep doing our thing for sure. Thanks, i like it too, i'll be fully detailing it during winter so the colour will be real nice and shiny next summer!

    Got arrested a week before storage



    New law in Quebec witch basically says ''hellaflush'' is illegal. So I had 48 hours to have my car inspected and make sure it was true to the police specs. I swapped back my oem suspension and wheels in a rush and hoped it would be good and it was!

    Now stored for winter, #sowoprep i guess? haha


    couple of pics before going back to stock.




    oh yeah, and i also bought this pos beater for 700$ lol.

    it was pretty beat up rusty and ugly so i fixed it up a bit. gonna be fun when snow comes

    So i've mounted my wheels and dialed my fitment like i wanted it about a month ago! so happy with the result. Absolutely no rubbing and not hitting the road at all even if roads are shitty around here. Here is how it's sits by now

    Looking good though! Roadstars are great.

    I've also bought a set of shock tower reinforcements. Was kinda scared they wouldn't hold up since they aren't really made to support stiff suspensions.

    And i got my hands on a set of twisties i have to prime and paint asap



    I really like the OEM++ look as you may have guessed
    Better pictures to come.

    By the way, were you guys staying at H2Oi this september? I'm rolling down there for the first time, not to sure where to stay yet!
