What's a good set of HIDs and where to get it?

[IronFist]

I got mine from arco imports. Got the slim ballast kit + bulb kelvin of your choice. Can't remember but it was <$200 bucks with shipment.

Funny enough the guy's name is "Lex"

[ldc]

70 bucks off embay, from US right?

[ilv1004s]

nope HK or taiwan made stuff

my mate bought a set for his accord euro

1 bulb didnt work

[ilv1004s]

alrighty ladies

who wants what done?

[LEX51S]

I did it lol. Wasnt 2 hrs lol.

[k2sty1]

im buying 4" exhaust tips on friday

i could install em with my friends, but i can keep em for this DIY day

[dis-lex-sic]

4 inch?????

Won't that be way too big for a 250, especially since there's two of them?

[ldc]

The bigger the tip the more it makes your car look lower. I'd do 5".

[k2sty1]

i tried the 4" and its actually not that big

its fills the cut out in the rear bumper really nicely

this is the look im going for

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-second-generation/508051-my-solution-to-quietest-exhaust.html

but i'll delete my resonator to give it a "fake" aftermarket sound

also

anyone know if i'd have any problems with rego and stuff if i take my resonator off?

thats like terrrys f sport

[k2sty1]

yeh, i want to polish my mufflers, so they look like the F Sport, but without the sound, for now

then with the resonator delete, should sound a bit better together with my Fujita Intake

[ilv1004s]

hm..

you shouldnt have any problem with rego mate

polishing the rear mufflers are a big job

and they are 1 piece not 2 piece lol

so it'll take while lol

[dis-lex-sic]

The ones you posted look great.......are they about 3 inch?

[k2sty1]

yeh i think there around 3"

i got myself some 3.5" ones, but there weld on, not bolt

any mechanic place can fit them right?

or does danny have the tools to do this aswell??

the ones i bought arent rolled edges, and are angle cut, couldnt find any 4" ones that would fit the 57mm exhaust

still waiting for the 2nd one to arrive at the store then i'll post some pics

but how do i take the factory tips off?

i tried pulling em off, thought i was gonna break the car so gave up

[ilv1004s]

u need to get them welded

go to a exhaust shop and such

[ldc]

lol i'm getting one back on ya dan, he would want to buy a welder and bring it to do it at the DIY Day.

Perhaps not the right mod for the day k2style .

[LEX51S]

if its soon in next couple weeks ill be adjusting / evening the hight of the corners of my car

[ilv1004s]

well if some 1 says

YES

i need to get this done

then well get the ball rolling

[Terrrrry]

lol I havent had the time to go buy tyres yet...and my coils are backordered :(

[ilv1004s]

ah, damn.

terry i know a tyre joint if your still shopping for good priced tyres

[k2sty1]

had a flat tyre 2 days ago

the guy told me that it was cuz the wheels weren't alligned properly or something

the tread on the inside of the tyre was nearly gone, and it didnt have enough pressure it in (i checked the pressure a few weeks ago)

had to get new tyres straight away so got some Yokohama ones

but im gonna be changing all the tyres around the next service (sept/oct) what tyres should i look at?

i heard Hankook are good

[LEX51S]

Mate. Every ones opinions are extensive and unique. There is a whole thread on tyres. And millions of reviews online that are worth a look.
