Hey guys, I'm about fed up with road noise, door rattling, and terrible sound in my 2013 BRZ premium. I also hate that every single person I've ever talked to says the blue tooth sounds like shit.

Can you please suggest some Ottawa or Toronto people that can assist in making the sound in the car better?

If you find out let us know!
I have a Viper alarm still in the box I need installed too

Busy day in Barrhaven today. Headed to the far side of the parking lot where it might be a little less busy (not to get closer to the french fry truck) and found this gem. Love the look of those tires - Fate of the Furious copied you.

Seems like all 82000 barrhaven residents were out today. Good thing I didn't see you. I would have had the fries. Thanks for sharing the pic. Your new ride looks great.

Is there a meet tomorrow night?

If the weather cooperates I'm sure there will be a bunch showing up at M&M.
I can't make out yet

I'll see you next week with any luck.

Don't forget the group of guys, including Luke Thumper (red twin), meets at T&T around 5:30pm and then at 6:00 or so, heads over to:

Burgers and Shakes
5510 Limebank Rd.
Gloucester ON K1X 1E9
(613) 822-4454
Corner of Limebank Rd. and Mitch Owens Rd. in Manotick, by the On The Green and the Soccer Fields. We have interior seating an outdoor patio and picnic tables.

I hope to join them next week

Cheers,
Ken

Hey guys.

Just wanted to mention I'm cancelling my cruise for May 7th.
Nobody seems to be able to come out, and the weather will be bad anyways.

Pbrown · 05-04-2017, 02:34 PM

For trying to set this up. For some reason the weather never seems to cooperate.

Well, my throw out bearing decided to give it up on the way home last night. It didn't completely go, so I was able to get it to the dealer this morning.

It was funny watching the service guy (a different one than I was talking to) walk around the car feeling the wheels trying to figure out where the smell was coming from. I saw him and told him that it was my clutch he was smelling. He looked up and said "Too bad."

On a positive note, while it's in there, I'm going to have them change out the spark plugs. Saves me a trip later.

Not looking forward to the call with the estimate.

Just a reminder that Wicked garage is having their BBQ and Car show this weekend. It is one of the better shows in the area.

Saw your car at work. All fixed up?

jvincent · 05-16-2017, 09:08 PM

Yep. Total bill wasn't that bad.

I think it's running a little smoother with the new plugs, or maybe it's the placebo effect of spending the $600 on the change.

Sad I'll miss it all, but travelling to Carlisle PA for a big car show
