Anyone have good experiences at the dublin toyota and their services? i figure that i should probably take advantage of my last 2 free oil changes since ill be back to mrls next week and should keep the oil fresh. Getting worried about the oil cooler getting botched as well other mods on the car.... Especially since concord toyota gave the car back to me with a burning clutch smell.

Hey @MyRx !

The other day you mentioned wanting to attend a driving school , I ended up going through my old GoPro videos and found this !

You can really learn a lot through videos

Having a little fun, and frustration, with the crazy fog this morning.

Update on trying to warranty my tires:

I went to America's Tire Co. and talked to a guy. He said he thought the tread wear had to be down to 3/32nds before Michelin would accept a claim. I gave him my info and he said he would look into it for me and give me a call back.

I was going to run to Sears yesterday and see what they said but I got sidetracked and never made it out there. If I don't hear back from the ATC guy by friday I'm going to run over to Sears and see what they say.

How many miles did you drive on the tires? I have 17,800 miles now and my tires are down to 4/32. :eek:

I haven't even been hard on the tires at all. Never launched it and never hooned. Guess I should try to warranty them too. Let me know how it goes!

Who has replaced their own axles? What is the nut torque spec and is it reusable?

Pish · 01-14-2015, 08:54 AM

I think this would be a good way to save a few extra dollars on track day

You guys are dragging me through memory lane! First the TSI, now a galant (dad had both an '88 and a '96 LS that we turned into a VR-4 replica)? What's next, a 510 wagon?
