I like Toronto. Great city! Like how everything is so green, just can't get enough of Texas heat. It won't hit 91F for a few months but I won't be adjusting my seat to drive with a winter coat either.

I sent an express envelope of tranquilizers to Guilden_NL HG. I think you need what's in the envelope, so I thought you should have a couple of them in your stomach.

Do I read the potential for a New Year's resolution in this?

I fixed mine recently, took me 2 years to care enough to do so. it does emit the occasional false positive which is annoying though. Almost makes me want to just yank the F6 fuse again and live in silence lol.

Every morning at startup:

Put X in reverse (all 4 sensors are active):

BEEEEEEEEEP - your motorcycle is in front of the car (duh)

Back up 2 feet to the garage door, side rear sensors go BEEEEEP

(The door is off to the sides of the car)

Get out of the garage, turn around in my driveway, there are trees 25 feet away, BEEEEEP (random beep for nothing close in particular, I've read it could be picking up the exhaust smoke LOL!)


And so goes my PDC adventures haha

It could be that it only goes off after you hit something.

Stripped the rear suspension for fitment of new wishbones, guiding suspension links, lower wishbone bushes (thanks to Sundayjumper for doggedly searching for these), integral links, balljoints etc.

But stuck trying to get the handbrake cables out of the wheel carriers. 13 years of salt and aluminium on aluminium-roots have grown! Looks like I'll be taking the centre console out then...:(

Also considering grinding the camber lugs in order to adjust out the camber so that I'm not going through rear tyres constantly.
