i saw that install. had to drain and refill stuff. no thanks.

 

They come in pretty much every car sold in Canada. They charge you $50 for the convenience, though.

DHL & CBSA are taking forever to decide that my order's GST was mischarged.

 

Does it even get cold enough in chicago? I barely use mine as it is up here. Only when its -20 or lower and that dosnt happen very often.

 

Been living in Canada since I was born, bought a couple of new cars in my life, none of them came with a block heater. Always was an option, similar to all other options that can be added with the car purchase....

 

So I finally got around to plastidipping my wheels. I love the look! Not bad for about $40 - should last me until I can save up for new rims/tires.





I know, my stickers are out of date :P

 

With the 51R battery, I started in -37 last year without the block heater.

Everywhere I've lived they call it an option, but they don't give you a choice as to whether you can buy it or not, they just put it on there and send you on your way, $50 poorer.

 

Certainly not necessary for starting but it'll be nice to not have to wait as long for heat and defrost on cold mornings.

 

Just had DashCams installed to catch the next bugger who decides not to stop after rear ending me

 

BBS Installed

Holy smokes - your car looks amazing! This is the way Honda should've sent them out from the factory. Great work!

 

Alpina that looks great! I know a lot of work went into that setup, it definitely shows. How are the brembos performing?

 

Thanks Guys,

The Brembos are NOT installed yet...
I am still waiting for my custom Brake Caliper Bracket being machined
at Coleman Racing for the Front Brembos and Rear Integra DC5 Type R caliper, then I need to Anodized all the aluminum bracket and hat, then I need to install the Ohlins suspension and modified Knuckle/Hub, Alignment then I will be ready to install the Brembos...
so I think it will take at least another months (or so)

 

Oh man I didn't even realize you weren't on the Ohlins suspension yet I'll stay tuned for later additions

 

I've lived in WI all of my life.

Never had an engine block heater.

 

BMW outstanding job, good taste. I need black housing headlights bad!

 

Cool story bro.

 

So I guess anonymously complaining on the Internet has solved a problem! CBSA has waived the original $193.06 charge on my package, and it will be delivered tomorrow!

Also talked my wife into getting me a Progress RSB for Christmas! I've only been waiting two years to get one (mostly because I'm bad at buying myself anything that costs more than $75 or so). Pretty much everything I get now will have to wait for spring, unless I can borrow a garage somewhere, and probably a torque wrench.

 

Got my hubcentric rings in the mail today.


Just waiting to get my TPMS Sensors. Friend who works for Honda is getting me a discount


So close to being done with wheel set up!

 

Can't wait to see the wheels on!

 

Haha thanks Z! But they're just reps for now.
