<~~in wilmington :) Too bad my car is in sorry shape right now...needs new tires, oil change, inspection...I wont be taking it to any meetups (cop fests) until I have the inspection done!

So, for someone who has never done ANY kind of brake work, its going to be easy to find/fill the reservoir? also, how does the fluid get low other than having lowish pads? I was under the impression that it couldnt get low any way aside from the master cylinder leaking, but again, i'm used to...

^^yeah thats what I thought too...I didnt think there were sensors that could indicate the thickness of the pads, I figured the only way to tell was from the sound...?

^^I ran a search under "brake light" and didn't see anything related. I do appreciate the info, though. I spose I need to go buy a hayes manual and figure out how to fix this eh?

I've noticed recently that my brake light has started coming on in cooler weather when I brake. Sometimes it only flicks on when I'm braking, sometimes it stays on while idling and then goes off when I start moving again, and sometimes it just stays on the entire time i'm driving after I brake...

whoa sorry bout the bold

I was looking at the Dunlop SP Sport FM901 found on...

We have a whoooole crapton of intersections here in town where it starts out being two lanes heading one direction and then right after the light the right lane (which is usually a straight and turn lane) ends, so there are always jackasses getting into that lane to go straight and beat the line...

Call me a nerd, but the reason I chose the PR5 was because it is such a practical long term vehicle. It's the first new car i've bought (I'm 20) and i figure that if im going to be paying this thing off for the rest of my natural life, I mind as wlel have something I can use. I almost bought a...

^^I'm in wilmington, as you know..let me know when in Jan and I can see if I can get the day off and ride up with you!

I havn't gotten anything, except my service plan included free oil changes and basic maintenince for my entire warentee period, so thats a good chunk of change for the next 4 years :)

ARG Woke up this morning (prior to my biggest and hardest uni exam, let me ad) to find a HUGE SCRAPE and dent on my car...someone mustve hit it in my parking lot..****** it all up. Appraiser came...said it was $1000 worth of damage, and i get to foot $500 of that in my deductable...GODDAMN IT...

Sophomore at UNC-Wilmington here... And about Georgia Tech...your not missing much. Perhaps its a great school, but I know a LOT of people that go there and they're all assholes...and the one time I was there everyone was a prick. Just a note....

I just bought mine, so of course I'm still in the honeymoon phase but... I luv my car :) By FAR the best looking of the ones I was scoping out (civic, matrix, corolla, protege sedan) I love the styling. I kinda got the shaft on my loan (I'm a first time, 19yr old buyer so I have sort of a...
