he’s talking about cops hassling him about the suspension.
If it’s obviously too low, they’re gonna hassle you - but only if you do something wrong. They won’t pull you over unless they have a good reason to.
oh, i was referring to the inspection. i think that was what he was talking about
When i brought my teg from winnipeg, i had to raise it up for it to pass the vehicle inspection and remove my one pieces back to the stock ones to pass for the orange marker lights reflector.
How long has your car been painted like that? Just wondering if its the same one from a few years ago in winnipeg id see driving around

this is my 3rd summer painted like this, so probably the same one. my car is low, i scrape on everything, so this means ill probably have to go to a wrecking yard, or hope that someone is selling there stock suspension for me to pass safety here. i also threw out my old headlights, so this could be an issue too. i hope to put side markers on and maybe that’d help it. my car is also loud, fuck, i drove to the North shore today, and probably set off 10 car alarms that were parked on the side of the road. lol. this isnt looking good. i drove as civil as i could, lol.
if you need a stock set of headlights i’ll lend you mine… you can pass with them n’ give them back…

[QUOTE=90_acura_da;2164326]edit: what do you guys normally pay a month for insurance here? in wpg it was about 86 a month[/QUOTE]With my maximum 44% safe driving discount and RoadStar package, I was paying about $1300 a year with full coverage and $2M liability. It would be slightly more if doing a per-month payment plan option. Insurance in Metro Vancouver isn’t cheap (highest in the province for obvious reasons). All basic, bare-minimum, liability insurance is handled by the blue devil we like to call ICBC, but you have the choice of going with them or a 3rd party for optional coverage (collision, comprehensive, etc.).
I got a set of stock springs if u fail you can throw on for the day then pass em back.

Without the maximum discount (from 10 years of no at fault accidents), be prepared to pay around 170 a month at a minimum for insurance.
I agree with everyone else, in that you shouldn’t get hasseled for having a modified teg (outside of Richmond [aka rice capital of BC :P]), just make sure you have a front plate, mounted on your bumper and you’ll be fine
wow, thank you both guys. ill let you know, it ll probably be a few weeks before i insure my car with BC plates, just because i hear your safe for about 3 months under Manitoba plates before you have to change it. anybody have any ideas for a meet? would be fun meeting up with you guys.
no problems… perhaps we should set up a go-karting meet!
Just went to F440 racing on the long weekend… check out my HD onboard vid…

haha that’s an awesome video. This track looks way more fun than the TBC indoor track… looks like more grip!
WAY more grip… the red karts were 6hp, the blue ones were 9hp… the red ones are similar to tbc’s… but the blue ones were a HANDFULL… i was getting tired after two 15 min heats in the blue ones… you really gotta fight um’ lol…
sweet, thank you offering. im probably going to wait a little bit before i change my car over to BC plates. just having it under Manitoba insurance is a lot cheaper now, and legally i have up till 3 months. but if i do need them, ill msg you and bring some cash and beer.
ive scraped a few times now since ive been here in Vancouver, lol. lots of steep’ness going into and outta parking lots. lol. nothing to serious yet though. havent gotten hung up anywhere.
awesome youtube video by the way. lol. looks like a lot of fun. hopefully i can make it to some go-karting before the summer is up.
bringing this thread back from the dead, lol. ive seen a few DAs in Vancouver now, and now calling for a meet, whose in? anybody thats interested, say your location, we ll all meet in the middle. still lots of Daylight for one.
