JaydiemTRAN's Ultimate All-in-one Build Thread

[Paul-R]

Hey everyone? How's everyone doing? Sorry for not being able to post much here. My build is put on pause until I get my car back on the road. Last Saturday July 6 I got my car plates seized from me and my car pulled off the road. Due to operating my car with no catalytic converter (Had my Skunk2 Racing 3" Alpha Series cat less down pipe installed). They gave me a fine of $365 for operating a vehicle with no cat. I know this blows badly but hell at least I know now not to run cat less lol. But it just sucks being car less for a week straight and no other car to drive in the mean time, busing to work or trying to get a car pool to work. My car is currently at my friend's shop getting it's drive cycle completed so he could do my Emissions Testing so I can finally get her back on the road with new plates. I'll keep you guys posted.

wow that sucks . yeah i wont do no major modifications to me car i live in cali they will pull over for anything . good luck bro

Toronto is getting there..lol our emission testing system is different compared to other cities in Canada. We'd advanced with ECU reading for Emissions. Anything 98+ for OBD2 it's advanced to have your Emissions testing done through your ECU, while anything older than 98 with OBD1 you still have to do a sniff test/emissions from exhaust system. Well technology now a days are going even beyond advance every where around the world.

All we need is exhaust mfgs to come out with quick-connect adaptors that allow a 15 min fast swap for parts. Catless to catted just before emissions check!

My car is finally back on the road...it is a bit quieter now lol. But FR 3" w/ HFC soon!! My S2R DP is up for grabs local only.

I was thinking of getting a custom flange fabricated for the quick-connect/quick-disconnect actually.

Well..I think that this year (2013) is so far the worst year me and my friends from my car crew "TOP END R4C1N6 MOTORSPORTS" have experienced. Some of you may know one of our buddy's ride (David Bui) owner of the 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X MR was totaled a couple months ago, and our other buddy (John Hoang) owner of a 2002 Lexus IS300 was recently rear ended, and my car as well was reversed into by a woman in her mid 50's last Thursday in a shopping parking lot. Although I got my car back 3 weeks after being pulled off the road for running cat-less. By far this year is our worse year as a crew to share our bad luck experiences with. Although we may have lost a few members who've quit on us and joined with another local crew that we don't get along with. But besides all that the picture below is the damage as a result of being reversed into by a 2000 Pontiac Montana.

My car will be going to my friend's body shop next week to get my driver side rear door replaced and painted. But in the good side my wheels came in last Thursday as well... Also ordered Ultimate Racing 3" downpipe with metal core high flow cat, and Ultimate Racing 3" exhaust to 4" titanium tip. I'll post pictures as soon as car comes out of the body shop and I'll be installing the new wheels as well!!

Man, that sucks. Is the rocker panel damaged?

Luckily no, the damage to the door is really close to the rocker panel. I'm actually really lucky. But only if people check their mirrors and blind spots twice and really turn their head back when they reverse....none of this would have happen. Her excuse was "I didn't see your car"

 

[Dar-Dar]

"I didn't see your car" is a terrible excuse. Judging by the hit, the driver would have clearly seen the rest of the car after the rear doors...if she used her side mirror at all...

How long would it take to get the car fixed?

Yea exactly "I didn't see your car" is a really terrible excuse. Mind you she is driving a Pontiac Montana and my car being lowered you can clearly see my car when you reverse in one. I know she wasn't checking her mirrors and her blind spots when reversing. She offered to pay in full for the damages. Already made her sign a contract "paid 500 deposit" because the day after she was going on vacation. I got my older brother involved because he knows how to deal with accidents. He made a contract stating on her behalf she agreed to deposit $500 cash upon the accident.
And approximately it's going to take about a full week.

 

[Dar-Dar]

Ah, okay. I was thinking that insurance would be involved.

 

[JaydiemTRAN]

Ah, okay. I was thinking that insurance would be involved.

She begged me and my brother not to go to insurance because her husband's insurance is bad already from previous accidents. And she's secondary under her husbands. She said she'll pay in full for the damages.

Oh man! That sucks really bad. Sorry to hear about the incident. I'd also be worried about them paying/not paying. What happens if you get no correspondence with her when it's fixed and the shop needs paid? Get a copy of her license/insurance card?

Oh no, the job will be done as soon as she pays me first. I'm not sending the car to my friend's shop unless she pays me first. I have a copy of her license and insurance card already.
