^ we're getting our first bout of above 0 weather in a month. Literally - Ontario broke a 143 year old record this year for the coldest February.
last year was really bad too, me and the gf were stuck in the pearson airport for almost 3 days during that whole debacle. this was after coming back from honduras where the weather was like 40 celcius every day....literally EVERYTHING was frozen. but yes toronto is a very nice city, lots to do
MOOARR maintenance goodies came in just in time for the weekend. BC Coilunders on their way, went with a 12/6 spring rate. A little bit of work, a little bit of play.
So, I got around to doing the transmission service yesterday and hooooollyyyy crap. I flushed it once, and while it was empty, I changed the transmission filter as well as 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches. Then filled it back up with DW-1. Right off the bat it was amazing. I didn't even make it down the block before I was smiling at my crispy shifts. I had grown so accustom to the laggy, jerky shifts I forgot what it was supposed to be like. And then this morning the car decided to thank me by breaking the linkage inside the door so I can't open my driver door from the inside. I guess that's the hate part of this relationship hahaha. Motor mounts are next, but I'll definitely get a buddy for that one.
Decided to show some much needed love to the Rackura after work today. A friend was also bored and decided to tag along as well. No the LEDs are not purple, yes they are a ricey blue. I really fall in love with this color every time I wash it. Also, since I'm ballin' on a budget for now, I went to a local shop and had the Stage 3 exhaust mod done. Not too loud, but $100 well spent. Counting the days till the BC coils show up. Expect more high quality pictures when school starts up again because the club will start having meets again.
My friend and I were joking around saying that when the coilovers come in and it has more of a stance, it has to have a cool nickname. It's also a habit, since the CliTaurus I give cars funny nicknames. Way more entertaining than normal names.
When I was washing it yesterday I ran my fingers along the fender and it feels like some of them are half rolled. The back two if I remember correctly, were rolled on the back half. Is that a thing or am I just imagining it?
I should do my mounts after this winter as well, and I've been loafting hard on the transmission maintenance, which I should really get about seeing as I have everything I need at home already
I currently have the mid muffler removed and a Dynomax resonator in place of the stock one. Why do I think removing the two rear mufflers would be a good idea?
