    winter tire recommendation

    I tried the Arctic Alpin... Last year I waited until it snowed, and then found out that Tirerack.com was sold out of 15" rims. This year I planned ahead, and bought the rims & 195/55-QR15 Michelin Arctic Alpins before Thanksgiving. Now that we had 2 feet of snow, I found they work great...

    God damn Wheel locks!

    try anti-seize compound... to prevent too-tight lugs in the future. Anti-seize usually comes in a small tube (mine is silver grease), and can withstand high temperatures, and does not wash off. Put a tiny bit on the lug before placing the wheel. I have used them for years on a variety of...

    Do you love lesbians? Some wording NSFW...

    Norton Antispam... I've been using Norton Anti-Spam for several weeks. It is a new product from Symantec. It seems to work quite well, removing virtually all of the porn, drug, and stock emails loading up my Outlook inbox. It does save the spam emails in a separate folder, which you will...

    mudguards????

    bougha, not USA spec body... Unfortunately (for us in the USA), your car (Finland, right?) does not have the US-spec front and rear bumpers, nor the side trim pieces, so even if your flaps were available here, they would likely not fit. Your car looks nice, though, with a clean design.

    Rim Repair Estimates?

    You may be somewhat limited due to your location. Why not try to fix it yourself? I got a bit of curb rash on the rim of my stock P5 wheel. Used a dremel to carefully grind out the scratch, and then used my silver touchup paint (close match to the wheel) to finish. Real hard to see any...

    My P5, just washed and with painted calipers, and a few pics of the painting proscess

    Regarding the license plate, my guess is that if it is shortened, as it looks, that may attract more unwanted attention than if it was missing. Some states around do not require front plates, but that is obviously a modified (defaced?) NY plate. Think carefully about the ticket cost (and Mt...

    Mazda 6 Wagon/Rx8/MazdaSpeed

    Nice pics, RSX. The 6 wagon looks sweet, although I like the taillights better on (my) P5!

    Broke my nuts!!!

    Next time try anti-sieze... I know some on this board will complain that using anti-seize (special lube available in a small tube) will make your wheels fall off, but after dealing with stuck lug nuts, I have been using the stuff on my studs for 20 years, and never had a problem. A small dab...

    C.A.R.B. Approval for Injen Intakes, get your C.A.R.B. Sticker/number!

    California Air Resources Board? This is a quiz, right ;) ?! I'm in New York, but as I recall CARB approval is required for legal operation in CA. Maybe someone from the left coast can comment.
