Hey, Alex here from Toronto (Canada)!
I recently signed up for the forum after taking advantage of the hot weather the summer finally brings... doing a lot of reading over the last few days and feel great. Why?
Well, the car has been owned from 2003 and since then its had its ups and downs...
More recently, the downs. After taking the car to the dealership for EVERYTHING (except for headlight replacements) I am finally proud to say (with the help of my buddy) that will be NO MORE.
Today, we installed a new passenger side lower control arm, end link, cleaned the headlights (piss yellow they were), new battery, rotated the tires and (paid $80CDN) to align the car.
THIS CAR FEELS BRAND NEW AGAIN WOW!!!!
The steering wheel is SUPER TIGHT -- does NOT budge anymore. Prior to today, the wheel would be uncontrollable, turning was horrid (like a corolla!), braking was slow and driving in the night was almost blind...
I completely forgot how fun and great this car is suspension/turning wise from stock!
Well after 7 years of just driving this thing stock it's time for a change... and paying the stealership no more, the things we did today alone has saved me over $700CDN... yes.
I have already ordered a set of Morimoto Bi-Xenon Minis and will be doing a full retro-fit for HIDs mid-June.
Getting a Kenwood 4 channel up to power new fronts and a 10" in the back.
All thanks to doing the work myself. This may seem VERY stupid to most but this is the first time I've decided to work on MY CAR.
ZOOM ZOOM F*CKING ZOOM! I FEEL GREAT! (humpleg)
THIS FORUM ROCKS!!!!!!!
