Supposed to change the oil "before" storage!

Mine will be out on the lane-way Sunday if dry and warm.
I have to pull the front lip off to get touch up on the CF where I scuffed it.
While at it, I'll swap the headlights over to the Winjets and do the switchbacks in the turn-indicators and put in my smoked side markers.
Might pop out the reverse light unit to add my red light to the trianngle too.
Cusco grounding kit maybe?
I'll swap the stock wheels off for the TSW's in the next couple weeks.
It is not going anywhere until the rain has poured down for a while.

Can't wait

Ayo guys, I have a client asking me about where he should mount his tires in Ottawa.
Anybody know a good place that won't mind that he has 1" ground clearance?

I hate shopping for exhausts.
The season needs to start so I can meet all of you and listen to what I like best!

I have used @DistantXtremes for all of my hid over the years
Don't go too cheap - I think most kits in the $130 range are pretty good - bulbs about $40 shipped to US is decent but tgat is all just IMHO

Trac and ABS lights turn on and stay on when the brake pedal is first pushed - Cruise Control will not turn on. Brake lights do not come on at all - makes it fun for whoever is following. STOP fuse is fine. Ah the fun of chasing electrical problems. Guessing a wheel sensor or brake switch. Thoughts? Dealer's first suspicion would likely be the 4th brake light but no difference with it is disconnected.

Last edited by OrangeGuitar; 04-06-2014 at 06:40 PM. Reason: No LED in back - cruise not working either
