There are rumblings that the girl in the picture may have been sexually assaulted:

They've phased out 90 octane due to recent government regulations requiring all gasoline in BC and Alberta to have a certain percentage of ethanol mixed in.

As per MyHusky.ca:

It would depend on what you primarily use your phone for. I own the 9780 and compared to the iPhone they are 2 different beasts with completely different uses.

Because of my moderate-heavy use of...

What kind of parts are you looking for?

I know there's a local Vancouver member that's parting out a '95 auto.

Here's the thread:

In case...

In Vancouver it's Corollas (and yes it's true I think they're trading up to the newer 03' up body style) and Benzos (all across the board). Mostly fobs who can barely hold the steering wheel...

Instantly recognizable :poosie: Pretty sure it was your car. Sunday afternoon 3:30ish heading south on Main St. in Vancouver.

Nice :thumbsup:

Nice work!

Menzerna by far are my favourite polishes. Finishes down so nicely :thumbsup:

Also check the prices on EuroPartsETC. http://canada.europartsetc.com/

I get cost +5% from my Nissan dealership and many parts are still cheaper on the website.

Sounds like the transmission is slipping. Common problem with 626 transmissions.

I would check the transmission fluid level first. Otherwise, expect a bill for repair. I wouldn't drive it so get...

Because you have a 5spd, CAI, y-pipe, JWT/TS ECU w/ 7,200rpm rev limit OR E-Manage, MEVI or 00vi upper intake manifold. It'll be a beast.

I'd upgrade the brakes in some capacity (ie: 300zx...

0w40 Esso XD-3 Extra. $5/L. TONS of comparisons to German Castrol Syntec.

Found at select Esso commercial cardlock locations.

Terrible turning radius.

Problem areas:
MAF sensor failure
Cold startup timing chain rattle
~2,000RPM rattle
6spd tends to grind when shifting hard into 3rd
6disc cd changer failure...

Use a glaze before you wax. It'll make dark colours look wet and deep. If you can find it get Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze if not use Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection. Should be an...

You can with the Optimum stuff. They are known not to dust very much.

Really? Do you guys have Lordco in Calgary? They stock a broad line of the Meg's taupe bottles.

Menzerna, unless you can get it locally you'll have to order from the states. Unless you buy them in...

Lowe's in the states has it for $109USD.

Both EShine and CCS has it for $170CAD shipped.

Don't waste your time with Meg's 1-3. For OTC products, use Meg's #9 (or DACP #83 first if REALLY bad)....

~$200CAD. I bought mine from CarCareSmart www.carcaresmart.com. If you can get down to the states I've seen them as low as $110USD.

Back to the original post,

From most of the replies in here, getting the prep work done (and done correctly at that) is far more important than the products you're going to use.

You can never go wrong with the Klasse twins. They tend to provide better "pop" on lighter coloured cars, however.

Bar none Pinnacle Souveran paste wax gives the most depth on darks and reds. At...

It was definitely one of the best handling sedans I've driven in a while. Personally I thought the powerband sucked for a V6. Doesn't come alive until after 4,000rpm, and the engine sounds strained...

I think the Fairlady is the Japan version of the 350z.

Not the Formula 1 brand you speak of.

Oil Filter,
Mobil 1, K&N, Napa Wix, Purolator (blue), Bosch are all good filters. No paper end caps like Fram/Quaker State/CT brand (they're actually all...

If you're changing at 5,000km intervals, oil is oil.

Use a Honda oil filter, however.

Random-orbital polishers are what you want. Idiot proof and hard to do damage to surfaces. The ones at CT are only good enough to wax. Doesn't spin fast enough for heavier cutting power (ie: removing...

AutoRX. Highly praised.
www.auto-rx.com

Mix in with your motor oil.

Damn. $15 at Walmart for us. Bought them anyways. Eliminated the chatter I had. Awesome.

Trico also has the hingeless wipers at Lordco. No idea on price, however.

Oil leaks galore (spark plug cover, manifold)
Cheap aluminum exhaust piping and muffler
HLA tick is normal wouldn't worry too much
Torn cv boots

It's buried under the air intake ducting, remove all of that and it's right under there.

Did you get it aligned after lowering? Maybe something is bent or maybe you need some more negative camber.........

^ ^ ^

They're also called "valeo" blades. Found in the new Volvos. They're around $30USD each which is mucho dinero for wipers. I'd imagine the Bosch Icons to be at least $30CAD.

Yep wrong offset for your wheels.

Find out where you're rubbing and get spacers and/or roll your fenders.

Make sure you have your vent settings to floor and front windshield. My cars seem to fog up instantly when I leave it on panel vents only.

Common mechanicals problems (that I have :thumbsdow )

Oil leaks (spark plug cover gasket, manifold gasket)
Ripped boots

Also check for oil consumption. Suppose to consume a little oil but...

Wax deteriorates over time, even under a car cover. One big factor is temperature. If you've ever waxed your car before storage and checked back a few weeks later, you can feel the difference in...

Man is that engine even broken in?

I'd be happy if Chip could just draw out my car the way he'd see it :drool:

I wouldn't waste your time. The wax is going to be gone in a month or so anyway whether parked or driven.

Yikes. Right in the thick of BMW prices.

The new IS may be in direct competition with the 3-series, but I still believe they both cater to different crowds. Lexus has never been a driver's car I...

Damn Yankees. Those sneaky dirtbags :thumbsdow

Go Sox!

B3's have a terrible automatic transmission. They will fail among various other electrical problems..
