I think IKEA is good unless we can really get some more cars which probably won't happen.

I actually can't make the 6th after I thought about it, so the 20th would be a better date.

 

alright, lets go with the 20th at Ikea in Renton then.

 

Ah, I won't make Feb. Maybe sometime in May I'll be able to. Possibly April.

Kyler, I get the car back tomorrow so I'm hoping they didn't reinstall the tow hook. Then I won't have to go through getting it off and can send it out tomorrow.

 

Mike, they actually repairing it vs totaling it?

 

yeah. Stupid Progressive. car is valued at just over 11k apparently and the damage after labor was $10,500 ish and they still opted to fix it.

 

for some reason, 10,500ish is better for them to spend than 11k.

 

Well the stupid part is that it is written in to my policy that they could use recylcled parts to repair so i have doors from a wrecked fit. If that wasn't in there it would have been totalled.

 

yeah, i've got the use recycled parts on my plan too. my driver's door panel is a recycled part.

 

no worries mike. just hope the fit gets all fixed up and driving again.

the recycled parts deal is just crap since you cant warrenty those parts what so ever.

i would be down to meet on the 20th of feb.

 

Well got the car back yesterday and didn't notice til i left that the rear passenger door doesn't sit flush with the quarter panel and didn't find out until this morning that the passenger window now does not roll up on its own power. Had to roll it down so I could see through the frost and when I went to roll it up it stuck. Had to pull it up with my fingers. F'in body shops and their half assed jobs.

 

Mike, I hear ya on shotty body shops. First one my fit went to I'll never reccomend to anyone. Second one at least fixed their mistakes. Time to take it back to the shop and have them fix their idiodicy.

 

luckily it was a quick fix on the door. They tested the window regulator and said it's going bad so thats another $250+ out of my pocket to fix.

 

is your fit out of warrenty?

 

i dont think honda will warrenty it since the part is a replacement part.

but on a side note my tax return will help me buy some spoon goodness.

 

What are you buying from spoon?

 

then the shop should warrenty whatever they used. recycled parts or not. the shop I take my car to for body work does. woo lifetime (for as long as i own the car) warrenty.

 

i assume it's either cams or pistons, kyler got LSD already so, maybe spoon b-pipe!

 

just a certain suspension. i dont have an lsd since i plan on swapping motors later on.

spoon b-pipe is too expensive for the little gains.

cams or pistons would be cool but again would be a waste since an f series will be under the bonnet soon enough.

 

i am still in search of the spoon showa damper...somewhere in HK. and the axle back...
oh yea, and i spotted the asian girl with ssm slammed with integra wheels, in bellevue downtown, the same girl i spotted long ago around MLK area, i realized she got a baby seat as well, but she was driving hella fast!..

 

Good luck finding a set. That would be nice to have a spoon dampers.
