This weekend is my car clubs annual car how. Looks like we might get some bad weather. I wouldn't doubt it, every time I take my car out it rains. Pint sounds like you are going to become a mod ho like us. LOL Thats a ho in the good sense.

Put it up on 4 jackstands, took off the bumper, the undertray, all 4 wheels. Rebuilt the piston seal / dust boot stuff in the rear calipers, replaced the rear rotors, put some new heat shield thingies behind the front pads, flushed some new brake fluid through the whole system, cleaned and re-oiled the K&N air filters, replaced PCV valves, cleaned MAFs, reset ECU, reset idle air volume, changed oil and filter.

Last weekend was the front caliper rebuild and rotors, new front bearings, new tie rod ends.

Needs a visit to an alignment shop next week :P

thanks, i do hope i can figure this winter dd nonsense out soon as it is draining me (well, not really. )

i test drove the MS3 today (2nd time) and compared to the first test drive 3yrs ago, it felt so frikken... wierd(?). it's like a euro car-ish but it's not. it's like a sports car but it's definitely too FWD and imho it felt slow...might have something to do with the 92F humid weather today . it's like a puddling/spike-rocket but it twists my arm a lot when it spikes.. i HATE torque steer. it's like it's telling me im now too old for this shitt? like i out grown it. it was not a very friendly test drive. the sales guy was very polite though. he kept asking about my 370Z than asking wat i thought about the MS3.

he asked only once if i really felt like buying the car today. i said 'sorry, no, it's not how i remembered this car and as of today i dont want it...'

unless im going to go cheap with the 2012 honda fit sport 5MT, i think i might look at new TSX's. it's nearly impossible to locate a MT one in my area though..



hope your work is treating your right, mr.gale!

i just got done with my freelance work.



hahaha

going to motor my Z tomorrow am and visit a few dealers in the pm.
