Lol up until a couple years back when I moved out I always had my cars in a heated garage. I'd take that any day over cold! Just keep your vehicle fairly clean. Way better for the car starting in a 60* garage than ***** cold too. Now I have to walk to my damn garage and I swear and cuss every time

Well as usual work is slow. So I am virtual window shopping online. In the spring I will need to do My brake pads. So. I figure I will get my calipers painted yellow ath the same time as well maybe go ahead and switch over to some drilled and slotted rotors painting the hubs of the rotors black. Thoughts? I was thinking getting the ZZP brand drilled and slotted rotors. Should I do all 4 drilled and slotted or only on the front? It would look better all four. And thoughts on pads?

Honestly drilled rotors are supposed to have a shorter lifespan than just slotted or regular rotors. With that being said, I have the ZZP drilled and slotted rotors lol, and I run the cheap Evolution brake pads. Seems to be a decent combo, but I'm no expert when it comes to brakes. I can say I really like how the drilled and slotted look behind my wheels

120k km's?
122k km's?

Crap, apparently my road trips have really helped me rack up the miles!? ~ I'm nearing the five year (powertrain warranty expiring) mark, and the only real question is if I will hit 160k km mark before the anniversary of my car's purchase comes...

lol

Happy 2015 Manitobians!
(and one North Dakotian!)

...and yes, I'm bummed that I didn't make it in on the first page ~ oh well, it serves me right for only posting on the 6th!

Just converted it and my car has 126,000 km on it. That sounds way more depressing than saying 78,000 miles

Well I have a quote from Allison at Dynocom on their 5000 series dyno, just waiting t hear back from Henry at Dynojet with what he comes up with! Then I gotta see if I can negotiate a bit more
