I got a question about car alarms.

My car doesnt have an alarm, just has a panic button and the horns beep when I lock the doors.


Is there anyway for them to just add the sensor into whats already there??

Instead of me getting a whole new alarm system??




My cars also push button to start, so I need the fob to start the car.


Dont know if having an alarm put it will give my fob problems with un/lock and the auto start?

Duly noted.

^ That guy should not be talking at all.

He's taking about 97s GMarquise and "swangin on 24s" and has the nerve to call Acura's garbage.

I drove a covertible 135 the other day, and what a fun car. I've read that it will give my e39 m5 a run for it's money, which I couldn't believetill I drove it. It won't be it from a roll, but from a digg....it's a whole new ball game. The suspension on the 135 is pretty damn good too. I knewit was a nice car, but didn't expect it to be that

If you're paying attention to how the doors shut, how the leather smells, and the sounds the car makes during a cold start then you're missing out onlife.

Surprised the hell out of me too when I heard how expensive the little 1 series was. Those #%*!$%$@ at BMW said it was supposed to be their"entry-level" car and that thing basically cost as much as a 3-series. If I got the 1 though, I'm not sure I'd even need the 135, with a carthat small I'd be happy with the 128 or 130.

Its my little man, sounds great but the Expedition next to me could probably burn me on a 1/4.

 

[mr monday niight]

nuggets, you're in The Bronx right? i remember you knowing my homegirl Skyla

 

[10 piece nuggets]

Ahh yeah Skyla, she had EVERY class with me freshmen year, was my Bio lab partner and everything. I saw her a few months back working around 5th at a chocolatestore.

Close, it's a Greddy Ti-C ...only a rear section though

. I likethat exhaust, I'm running with the silencer on so there's basically no droning, but once you apply throttle there's a pretty deep exhaust notecoming out of it. With the silencer off though, thing sounds nasty

. Icouldnt stand the drone though...

By the way, I used turtle wax ice car washing soaps (ran out of meguiars, but I personally like the Ice more...noticeable less streaks), then I parked my carinside and did the clay bar.

I used Meguiars clay bar because their kit came with a larger clay bar and also a microfiber towel. I clayed the whole entire body, but if I would do it again,I would only do it to surfaces that dust can land on. I. E. Hood, front bumper, rear lid, rear bumper, side mirrors, and the A, and C-pillar.

Overall took about 6 hours (with 1.5 hour lunch break included) because I cleaned the interior, I just didn't do windows.

Whatchall think?

Looks good. now all you need is wheels, suspension, intake, header, and lip kit..

 

[joseph camel jr]

i dunno anything about their pricing or quality or weight but 360 forged has some nice looking wheels

 

[keepzdasneakz]

Hey nuggets, I think I've seen you on Scionlife before, am I correct?

Its not worth it to get a header on a tC unless you are planning to go boost. Its just going to add alot of noise with minimal gains. Intake wontdo anything either, but itll sound nice with an exhaust.

EDIT:
Naw Spellman, Skyla was there her freshmen year til she bounced to Lehman. How you know her?

I REALLY need to lower my car, and i REALLY need some HIDs....some guy made a custom set of headlights with 2 TSX projectors in each housing. As expected, dudewanted 1500 for em. They looked nice as hell though, plus he had LEDs on em made to look just like the 5-series headlights.
