It was a long winter, but almost nothing got done on the car. Did some work in the bedroom though - my fiancee is pregnant, expecting in August :D

I got a call two days before Powerama, a car show in Edmonton, asking if I could bring my car for the show. I carted it out of the garage, dusted it off ...

Car goes back into the garage soon, with snow threatening to fall.

This winter...

New engine? If I do it, it'll be a 2.5L with twin turbo, which also means taking out the spare tire compartment, sheet metal work to cover that, and running dual exhaust.

Lambo doors.

Redone interior from the ...

You ordered tires that didn't fit on the car you said they were for, what did you expect them to do?

You could have, at any point, told them it was for an MX3 instead of acting like a jerk to him - when he's just doing his job and letting you know that they won't fit on your Aston Martin - and you ...

"I really would like to know where people are finding these body shops that will do the minimum 4 days necessary work to install plus the materials, primer, paint etc and have the end result look like it was factory all along, and do it all for less than 400 to 500 without the cost of the lighting ...

People pay $1,000 for ICE because they can show that off and it's appreciated, plus - in the event they sell the car - they can easily strip it out again and put it in the next vehicle.

The lights, on the other hand, are $1,000 that's gone.

And it's funny that you refuse to believe what I paid, or ...

That's where you go off the path into Crazyland, population - you.

Do you REALLY think people will pay that much for lighting - no matter how good it is - for an MX3?

And again, if you don't have a car with the Civic conversion, or have never seen one, why are you running down the quality ...

Wow, for someone who hasn't done the conversion, you sure think you know a lot about it. There's no "total rewiring" needed, for example. The whole thing, including the lights, cost me around $450-500.

You want us to blindly support this outrageously expensive endeavour, yet blindly bash what we ...

I thought about it until I saw the price. It's crazy to think that people will pay that, more than their car is probably worth in many cases, for projectors - especially when a conversion to Civic lights will be cheaper, even at a body shop.

You can talk "low volume" and "bang for your buck" all ...

It's fun, but I really don't know if it was worth the trouble it took to get that TV upstairs again :D

The first setup - having the screens like that, and sitting in between them, didn't really work - the proportions of everything seemed ...

If you just want it for looks, cut the second exhaust so it'll fit and wire it up. It won't be functional, but if you're just going for looks anyway...

Otherwise, yeah - you have to cut out the spare tire compartment and sheet metal it over. For me it was an easy decision, with the larger rims I'll ...

It actually doesn't look as good as I thought it'd look

After this many trials, isn't it just a little suspicious? The whole 'where there's smoke, there's fire' thing and all...

And is it just me, or is Michael Jackson just the least intelligent person on the planet? By the time you get through two trials, I think you should maybe...just maybe....

NOT ...

How is it to get in and out? They don't look like they open all that far upwards.

Hah - screw that guy. With that attitude he was more than likely a scammer anyway. He had the option to get a lot of business from here by following some simple rules and instead he just pissed around until he got banned. Good riddance.

Look at how he's acting - you think he'd have any kind of ...

Read it carefully - he's not selling the kit, he's selling a manual on how to add lambo doors to your car. The "manual" probably goes something like "Step 1: Buy a lambo door conversion kit. Step 2: Install."
