it's 280 dollars to replace the stupid sensor I'm going to kill auto correct pretty damn soon

 

Same here! I got a 05 Ion for 2700$ all in after getting a parts car and putting the engine and trans in the new one. 142xxxKM on the body 9000KM on engine and F35 trans. Gonna be awesome this winter or next summer once i get it supercharged and all tuned up to be running decent on 93 premium gas and get those fe5 and yyz suspension parts into it. Also needs driver side seat like nobodys business!! Buddy who owned it since new drove it to work and home thats it. Mostly highway (Halifax to Enfield, NS) but he sat waaay the hell over by the door so the entire side of the seat got eaten by his arsehole i assume. Ill post a picture in the AM...but hot damn like an 1/8 the seat is missing !!!!

 

lol that's pretty damn funny haha I'm in to balt around 1700 dollars so far that's not including the stupid body kit I paid for an decided not to use

 

Got the new end linkage hope I got the right one got the 13 inch the other is a 10 inch so we shall see how that fits

 

Thats the one you want! 13" end links in the Base models the SS lnf take the shorter ones. Ill go get a picture of them seats now. Today was a busy day. I stripped the back end of the Ion and put marine grade caulking around all of the seams in the driver side wheel well and along the rear windscreen...somehwere was leaking and pooling at the bottom of the trunk. Figured its be better to do it now before i go frigging around and installing a plywood floor and subwoofers :-P

 

Hardly pressing with force.......



Pervious owner must've stored his drugs down there...... Idfk..moat of the thigh support isnt there the fabric just keeps its shape. When i drive i have to scootch ontop of the armrest just to sit level...LOL

 

so what your saying is I got the wrong one cause I got the 13 inch an if there shorter I need the 10 inch which they have to order in

 

lol worst part is the seats are ugly as well upgrade the interior haha

 

Yeah. I am undecided on buying a few cans of blacl paint and doing it the first nice week in June or May. (I live in Nova Scotia and today was the first nice day we had since before christmas sooo....) but theres also a good lot of used quad coupes in the province so i coukd just save up 100 bucks and try to find someone with panels that havent had 2 dofferent children puke and **** all over them and espically if there no dog toenail scratches. It seems every god damn ion ive looked at for parts the owner has got some great dane beast that got into a 6 pack of Monster energy while it wa sleft in the car!

Ahh the life. I do love it. But im starting to pull hair...

 

Forgot to mention the bit about the end links. You mean to say the 13" one doesn't fit?

The 13 inch is for base and 2.4 i believe. There a 9.6" for lnf i know...was looking for some a week or so ago

 

well I will pull out the broken one an measure it an see if it's wrong

 

$280 for a wheel bearing/hub?? Are you getting it gold plated?
The most expensive one on RockAuto is $209 CAD, it is an SKF rear.

 

Glad I didn't get it then sounds like I would get screwed over if I buy it from Napa

 

Napa is consistently the most expensive parts store in my area.

 

I've got a couple places locally where I can get good deals on parts I need NOW, but if I ever have notice before ordering, I get it from Rock Auto. I tend to order parts along with a friend to save on shipping. He almost always needs something.

 

thats alot for a bearing lol i think their like 125 for rears n 80 for fronts at autozone

 

$CA vs $US

 

Plus things just cost more here. Just cause.

 

I noticed things cost more here an I'm not going to go to Napa anymore just to stupid of prices

 

well the car is very moody an figured out why the right front speaker isn't working cause it's not even ******* there an it's moody cause it doesn't want to start sometimes but starts other times abs light is still on won't go away sub wires are cut from the previous owner can somebody tell me what wires go to the sub an the right speaker so I can get them working

 

What have you got done so far?

 

besides sticking the aftermarket radio in nothing I've been trying to find a wiring schematic for the ss but can't find one I had one for my 05 with everything on it but can't remember if the wiring is different between the years I know the radio hook ups are different but I don't know if the amp wiring is the same or different

 

This is what I could find on Alldata, hopefully it helps.

 

​​​​​​​okay thank you that should help

 

the aftermarket radio I just bought is the kenwood kdc-BT565U bought it specifically because It has the mic hook up an steering wheel controls an has the port for satellite radio as well I paid just under 300 dollars for it
