Well its been awhile since I posted on this. Figure I would update. I got in an accident on Dec 24th. It was just a small fender bender. I got it fixed up and she is like brand new. They replaced my headlights so now I got to re do the blacked out headlights. I bought brand new winter tires for the car and they are working great. Just got done an oil change at Walmart and the car is running great.

So today is Oct 5th... I got so much stuff I need to get done for the car. I'm currently at 91,000km and its slowly creeping up to 100,000km. Here is my To-do list:

New winter tires: $400 bucks. This is the top of the food chain thing I need done. I am currently in the process of saving for these.

New Oil Change: This needs to be done in the next 2000km or so. I will probably get this done at Wal Mart like I did last time. but who knows. I like switching things up to see how the car responds.

Undercoating: I got this done last winter by Crown and they did a TERRIBLE job. Shit was dripping off my car for months. Stained my driveway, etc. They just messed it up bad...

Save for a manual swap: This is the bread and butter of what I want done. I want to do this in the spring of next year using a combined savings money and my taxes I get back. Bill told me I should get one more year of awesome taxes of around $1,500. The manual swap is around $2000 to get done. I'm going to buy parts here and there. Manual is just where its at.Its so much more fun and you get better mileage out of your car. It gives you more control over the car. My auto tranny just seems way to sluggish and many people online agree. If I do a manual swap it opens up many doors for my car. I plan on keeping this car for a long time and if I do just one big thing to it a year than a manual swap is what I want next.

Sept 28th

Not much new to say about the car. The rims and tires have been holding up great. I am paying back some bills right now so I haven't bought anything new. I do want to get Kpro now that its available for the Auto. That opens so many doors down the road. I am loving my car. I am slowly creeping up on the 100,000km mark so it will be good to get some stuff done to it. Oil change, tranny fluid change, etc. I also need to buy some winter tires. So that will be next on my list of things to purchase. Winter tires.

New RIMS(Augest 5th)

So I ended up going to Star Tire in Lower Sackville the other day to get my used tires and rims put on that I bought like a fool on Kijiji. We get there and he tells me that my tires are to big... And also that they won't pass safety. After a few mins of talking he convinces me and my father that I should get new tires. We go out back and I pick out the new tire I want. They end up putting the tire on the rims and putting the rims on my car. I back the car out and am waiting for my father thats inside paying on his Visa(I am paying him back). He comes out and tells me to come inside.. I go inside and he tells me that they are willing to offer me brand new rims with the tire for $300 bucks more. I can choose from any rims that are on this one shelf. Long story short I choose new rims and put them on. No regrets at all. I love my new rims and think they are way better than the ones I bought on Kijiji.

Tire/Rim Update

So on Friday I bought some Tire from a guy on Kijiji. $100 bucks for 4 Bridgestone tires. Pretty good shape. Bill and I went to Scotia Tire on the Bedford Highway to get them put on the rims and put on the car. Bad news started. I was missing some Lug Nuts. I had 16 and needed 20. The second of the bad news was that I was missing these stupid little rubber pieces for my rims. Looked EVERYWHERE for them and could not find them. It sucked. I ended up buying 20 new lug nuts for the car. Bill found the rubber pieces today and I will hopefully be putting them on tomorrow afternoon.

Grr

So I look at my windshield the other day and notice a little chip in the windshield. I'm going to call my windshield guy "Bob" and get him to fix er up for me this weekend. Hopefully he does it for cheap or even free. Also I am in need of another oil change soon. Man they come fast. Everything else is going great.

Back from Trip :)

Well just got back from a weekend trip with the girlfriend. Went to Moncton, NB. It was good. Car handled very well. Gas was very good. Overall the trip was around 600km total. No complaints. I'm looking at getting some tires for my new rims. I am currently looking on Kijiji.
