opinions on blue plate covers on blue car?

[Steve]

um yea do u think these are ricey?

thanks

ps: or should i just keep my pfaff ones?

[RippleChip]

I have them on mine, pulled the Pfaff ones off and tossed covers on. I think they look really good, makes the license plate blend into the car a little more.

BTW, what suspension and rim setup is that?

[RippleChip]

I don't quite understand the ricey part of a plate cover.

Here are some pics I have in the gallery, doesn't give the idea but its all I have uploaded at the moment.

hey ive got apex spring and audi aftermarket rims, their only available in their accessory catalog...where about are you located? i think ive seen u in newmarket? im in aurora if u wanted to meet up?

[RippleChip]

That setup looks good, thought that about the rims since they have the nice Audi centercaps.

Yeah I live in Newmarket, we could totally do a northern mini-meet.
buck is from Aurora as well, all three of us up there with Santorin 01s.

[Steve]

cool cool well i don know any day is fine with me wanna organize somethin?

[RippleChip]

Sure.
Might be a Richmond Hill KK meet coming up, that would be good to drop in on. Last time there was a dozen or so Audis.

[RedRocket]

Oh! I want to meet up too. But I'm red, I guess that would make me the leader!!![cool]

[RippleChip]

haha, right [rolleyes] [:p]

What sort of time frame you thinking?

[Steve]

whenever.....

[buck]

that's funny - 3 '01 Santorin Blues in the same area!

a mini meet would be cool for sure.

I can't make it to the KK meet on Friday.... I'll have to meet up some other time.

Ripple - the lip spoiler looks sick! Did the 3M stuff work ok? I was worried that the strips were too small?!

.... oh yeah, no red cars allowed in our crew...... we don't like K04's [:p] just kiddin'

[Steve]

buck your from aurora? where abouts?
i havent seen i driving around?

[RippleChip]

Yeah the lip is holding well. Just had to stretch them out so they were thin and run enough all the way along. Its on there real well...thanks buddy.

Still have your bag with all the extra stuff I'll have to get back to you sometime soon. My new gauge should be showing up soon, will sure beat my current setup of wires hangind out of the missing vent [:p]

You'll know buck when you see him, rolling on 18" RS4 reps and a gigantic roof rack, often sportin' a beast of a bike. Here's a little shot after doing his CCs.

[Steve]

ah i c...no ive never seen his car before.....eh how hard is it to the the cc mod? ive thought about doin it but im just scared i guess...dont wanan **** anything up

[RippleChip]

Not too hard, just have to convince yourself your going to drill your headlight.

I did mine and helped buck with his. Patience is key.

[buck]

I'm behind the car dealerships in the north end of town. Usually if I'm out and about in town, I'm on the bike. You can't miss the car - big Yakima roof rack on top and the car's usually dirty (what a shame). I spend more time washing my bikes than my car.

We'll have to stop by your place one day and do the Clear Corner mod. It's not hard to do, just takes a steady hand. The results are well worth it.

I don't recognize the street in your picture - looks like either the central west end of town or the north west end of town (used to deliver pizza's back in highschool/college).

[Steve]

oh i c near saint andrews college eh?
im around like the timhortons and pizza pizza behind there close to bathurst

[buck]

yup - right by SAC!

You must be close to the golf course then. Pick a weekend and if avail. we'll get those nasty amber lenses out of those headlights!

We can set up our own 3 car meet at Tim's and rev our A4's in front of all the civics [:p] NOT!

[Steve]

I was also a Civic owner up until last year. Blue '92 hatch with B16 and all the toys (less turbo).

I'll be in the area right after work - but have to get home to meet a friend for a bike ride.

Maybe the 3 of us can cruise down to the KK meet next Friday (if there's one going down).

[Steve]

yea sure...i wont be home til like 6 or 630 im not sure what time the meet is but something will get figured out im sure

[buck]

did you ever run your civic (i.e. 1/4 mile)? I always wanted to do a turbo setup on a honda.

Mine (when finally tuned right) was running mid 14's which was fun - but I got bored of it (I was also lugging around a hatch full of stereo equipment).

What did a turbo setup run in the 1/4 mile? were you running low boost (6-8psi) or did you lower compression and run higher boost?

I'd still like to make a turbo civic project car..... but there's a bunch of things I'd like to do as a project so not sure that I'll ever get around to it!

[Steve]

no i never ran it...i went down to cayuga once but because i ws in the show they wouldnt let me run...but it ran pretty good i was running 10-11 lbs of boost consistantly...and it was fine, ran like that for 3 summers...no problems...i think my motor was a freak! but eveyrthing was done the ignition the head was bored and the throttle body, had a cam in there, injectors etc etc etc...

[buck]

wow - sounds like the Civic must have been pretty quick! but all in all, the A4 is a much nicer ride!

[Steve]

oh definetly....it looks like its going to rain tonight i dont know if im gonna go to the meet if its raining...i hate rain!

back do you know roughly how much tints cost?
