Not sure how it will help seeing as we're in different countries, local shop for $350 CAD (steal of a price). for US, I know Z1 sells the complete swap kit for a decent price, and you can also order from Rockauto for a good price.

Wonder how many sport conversions were funded by the stimulus.

Perhaps. However, Hexotic is Canadian... which is why he has that outrageous accent.

Ha, well, while there is a 2k/month stimulus package in Canada, I don't qualify for it because I never stopped working and It would actually be less money. My purchase was actually researched, planned, and had money set aside over the course of a few months. I'm sure, however, many people did blow their cheque on car parts and then didn't have money left for rent or food.

Lol, funny enough, I can't do the stereotypical Canadian accent, eh. I can do a flawless London accent, or a Russian and Ukrainian accent (learned English in a British school in Ukraine when I was a wee lad), but 20 years in Canada and I still pronounce Toronto with both 't's.

I was able to get out of work due to my mom being high risk (yes, still live with them) and got 3 payments from Ontario now. Yet I haven’t bought any parts yet! I plan on getting a sway bar at some point, probably just going to wait until after my birthday. And born and raised GTA, sometimes you can get an eh? out of me!

When I went to get my bumper painted I asked my painter how busy he has been. He said before the rona checks he was super bored. When the rona checks hit he said the wait times were like 3 weeks with how many calls he got.

Also gave her a quick wash to get the pollen off of her. Going to be yellow again tomorrow morning but oh well.

Test fit successful. Threw on one of my random grilles to see a more complete look.

After many changes I've found a color I like for my wheels I picked up quite awhile ago.

Test fit went well. I'll post proper pics when I get a chance. I didn't notice something though, while making left turns my wheels are clicking but it only happens when turning. I'm assuming from what I've searched its the axle on the passenger side which happens to be the one I grabbed used from the yard a few months ago. Crazy thing is it never made a noise when I was on my 19s.

Cleaned it yesterday. Once my house projects free up space in the garage I will be doing a full detail topped with ceramic coating. Until then, this is the cleanest it will get.

Wheels question

Didn’t want to make a whole new thread so figured I’d post here. I’m 99% sure I’m buying these used wheels tomorrow morning. They’re 20x9 +38 offset. 2 good tires at 245/35/20, 2 will need replaced so I assume I can buy new summer tires and make it work. Do you know how well these will fit on an X sedan? Not lowered currently, but will probably get a good set of coils soon. Also Recommendations on a tire size(s) that will work well with awd with those 20s?

Hate making a newbie post after I’ve tore into this car inside and out over 4yrs, but I know nothing about wheels/tires lol. I know my fitment in 18s n 19s, but recently considered 20s and a few days later a nice set pops up locally. Advice is appreciated, thanks.
