Where are you guys getting your sound stuff installed? I want a sub but thinking if it's going to take too much work, or a shitload of changing then I'm fine with stock.

im getting it done @ soundworks in coquitlam(rs sponsors).
It can be a lot of work or it can be very simple actually.
Im getting a false floor so the sub sits in the sparetire well.
As well as dynomatting a bunch of places. I hope the car feels more quiet with the sound deaden.

I had my compu-star alarm and sub-woofer installed at BPGtuning in Richmond. They specialize in car audio and alarms and I recommend them for installs.

This was when I had my stock stereo. I've recently upgraded to an aftermarket deck and I installed it with Sumo.

IMO, I think they are just ok.

I bought a compu-star from them when they had them on sale through revscene a few years back and had it installed in my Accord Wagon. Dropped off the car in the morning and then picked it up in the early evening after work.

Everything was great, EXCEPT for the fact that the installer had broken my coin tray and then tried to hide the fact by using some black silicone to try and hold the pieces back together. When I picked up the car, no one said anything about this to me and I found this just before I was going to leave. I went back into the shop and told them about this and they were like, 'Oh really? Ok, we'll order you a new one.'

No appology or anything about trying to 'hide' this from me. Makes me thing about what else might have been 'broken' but I never noticed.

I haven't ever heard of any 35 profile tires for rim diameters of less than 18"

Trust me I looked smallest profile tires I could get for my 17's were 195/40's (being that width is an aspect of profile anyway) and even those are hard to find

That will rub if dropped for sure, probably rub if not dropped as well. I was dropped on the t1r springs with 205/40/17 and it rubbed. 17x 7.5 rims with +40 offset.

I wonder if you could get away with running a 215/35/R18 with a rim that has an offset of +48 or more? I think the numbers work for that combination.

Actually I browsed through the event details, looks like it would be fun. If I lived closer I would probably sign up for the seat time.
