hey guys. my ride is not back to normal height. after having paid 103.90$ to change my right front shock (plus 125$ for a used shock), 193.11$ to put back my OEM springs and finally 69.95$ for a useless alignment, all my problems are gone and my ride is now smooth, yet with less handling in highways...

Thewhite

Cool videos Hope, I haven't been at La Ronde yet this summer, and with the wedding coming, I think it will go into the "unnecessary trip" category... I wish I could have been at the meet, to be able to explain to everybody all problems I have with my suspension... Sam, we better have a cha...

Thewhite

same here

Thewhite

Just find out I have to work on saturday!!! that kills me! plus, it's just for a stupid graduation parade for this summer's recruit. So they ruined my summer, and the next meet!

Thewhite

ok, update on that meet. We were unable to do anything. even with tons of WD-40, we were unable to unscrew anything in the front suspension. we decided to try the rear ones, and we were on our way to put back my OEM spring in the rear only, but we were unable to remove the rear right shock front the...

Thewhite

I can't tell right now, but I'll try to be there. I'm still trying to fix my ride, I don't know how much it will cost me...

Thewhite

What is fidelity?A lack of opportunities!

Thewhite

I'll be away up to wednesday, so I won't respond, but keep posting about it! I need to fix it!

Thewhite

sure it's a great place! but anywhere will do it, as long we can work.

Thewhite

dop!! hope I fixed it!

Thewhite

and not just a little. a lot. there's grease all over it, and some on the ground where I pack it, and my ride has changed a lot, specially on crappy roads. I was thinking to get rid of my spring at the end of this summer, so it will be now. I have already 105 000 km on my car, 40 000 with the spring...

Thewhite

hey guys! I have a major leak on my front right shock (amortisseur). I have to change it before I put too much stress on my car and f... my tire. If we have time, I'd remove all my spring to put back my OEM springs. Mike, I was specially thinking to you because you have a spring compressor. I'll ren...

Thewhite

I test drove it. it's a '03 that a coworker has. the only mod on it is a blowup valve... Ben, I know there's a lost a hp between the engine and the wheels, but it start at 227, so I'm surprise earing you saying it's about 180... WRX is the car of my dreams. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to put enough...

Thewhite

just tried a WRX today... hope I'll remember the ride to make a compare

Thewhite

sweet!!

Thewhite

thanks for sharing!

hey guys. just want to let you know I may move back to Montreal pretty soon. I apply to a permanent position at CFB (Canadian Forces Base) Longue-Pointe. The contract starts at the end of June, so if I pass trough the selecting process, I may be able to come to more meets!

Thewhite

not me! see my other to know the reason!

Thewhite

nice found!

Thewhite

it didn't where to put this post. I want to show you what a guy did to his TTpimped Audi tt

Thewhite

Paul, I have the "valeur a neuf" with GM also. Personnally, when I got my accident in july 2004, I brought it at my dealer. the gave me a car at their fees as long as it took for the repair to be done (more than a week, they didn't have a hood available), 'cause of that option. An insurran...

Quote, originally posted by psycho Â»May sound expensive...but it was a saturday and wanted it installed immeidately!..hehehe Didnt you pay 350 for a spring installation?oh!! that hurts!

Thewhite

50$! wow, it's a little expensive I think...

Thewhite

personnally, I didn't lose time to put it myself. I took the Yellow Pages, call few shop asking their rate to install a custom exhaust. The cheaper was 45$/hr, so I went there, I took 20 minutes and it cost me 15$ (Canadian dollars). So over all, time for calling, drive there and come back, 40 min, ...

Thewhite

ya, wasn't worth it at all, I stpoed watching after 40 pics...

Thewhite

last minute you said! by the time I'll be in Montreal, it will be over!

hey guys. I'm in Montrreal today and tomorrow. If you want to go for a beer or something, call me on my cell at 418-575-1258. I won't answer, cause it will be a long distance call for me, but I have call ID, so I'll call you back right after. you just have to let it ring for 2-3 bell and hang up. I'...

Thewhite

all right, thanks. I'll keep it in mind while I'm shopping. Thule is suppose to sell the one I'm looking for 100$, but if I don't find it or it's more expensive, I'll know I can take yours.and don't worry for the Volvo written on it. as for GM tag, I'll remove it

Thewhite

So Ben, what about your rack? will it fit on the square bars? probably, because it's a Thule bar, with a GM logo. so if your rack was for a Thule, I'm interested. The one I'm looking for on eBay is now close to 40$, so it's not worth it anymore. Yours might be a good option besides a new one

Thewhite

don't you have the OEM 6 speaker sound system? that one comes with an amp, under the passenger seat.

Thewhite

I know. I sent e questoin to the guy asking if he's willing to send it via USPS. it was 3-4 days ago, didn't get any news at this time.

Thewhite

I have both, the overall and the square ones that go over them. My ski rack is on those, and I was planning to use them also for my bike rack, as the one I'm planning to buy.

Thewhite

I'm going to Montreal next next end, with almost nothing on my schedule (I'M not working). after that, it will be somewhen in June

Thewhite

Quote, originally posted by xrs06 Â»I think The white's link is only for us to see the rack...Does it include a lock to lock the bike in place with a key?If you don't mind Volvo being writhen on the side, I might be able to give you a good deal on one.If you are interested, I could take a pic of it ...

Thewhite

it will be under warranty before 3 months or 5000k. as for rear allignment, as see in this topic, it is possible to make it. each time I asked for 4 wheels alignment, I got it, print out of before/after to prove it.

Thewhite

what you guys think? brand new it's 141$ CND plus tax at my dealer.Thule

fix has been done today. it cost me 250$ and my insurrance paid the rest. an alignment to 4 wheels was include, so tomorrow I'll be able to put my summer mags and tires. personnally I'm disappointed for the time took (more than 2 weeks) for all the processus, but there was nothing I could have done....

Thewhite

well I think it's gonna be for an other time then... Sam's not there, Ben #1 either, Mike's not sure... we'll do it an other time, and I'll go to Montreal for you guys, and some karting. and something else, cause my gf will kill me if I spend 50$ in gas just to go karting and see you...

I can't!! guess why?

Thewhite

you don't need to buy two filters. buy one (for myself I still use the Cosmo one) if you want, and the K&N Air filter Cleaner kit. cheaper, and it does the job for less than a new filter. and you can use it as often as you want.

Thewhite

2e: Any of you have made mods on their vibe while under warranty? I have a 03 GT but engine/transmission still under warranty.. must admit i'm a bit nervous to make a CAI or other mods before the end of the warranty.The warranty will just not apply on the pieces you changed (i.e. air filter if you p...
