Drove it hard again through this BS snow. Drove really hard. Amazing at what this does, and the endless smile on my face. Continental DWS are the shit too. Stock 20's and I was flying around. It fishtails out of a turn, and still pulls through. What an awesome machine.

Oh I washed it and put in garage after. Sleep till Monday baby. I'll rip your ass up again as soon as I can.

Don't be jealous.

I wanted to update, but figured it would be like bragging. I ripped it up again on Monday. And then washed it again.

My fuel mileage is crazy bad. I am getting a stable 9 mpg. So I also reset the mileage.

Oh well, at least I know where to get more when the tank runs out.

Replaced the angel eye burned bulb for a blue led. Replaced burned licence plate bulb but still not working. Changed the rear wiper motor, I put a valeo that I got for 168$. I need to replaced the recently replaced, both lower control arm that are shot after only 2 months grrrr, I called the supplier since I have a 4 years warranty on those. I have an appointment at the dealer friday so they can replace the remote key that no longer work, I'll have them check the licence plate light as well. The only thing left to be done soon are the front shock, I'm thinking of getting a set of Bilstein.

Adjusting the parking brake takes less than 30 mins. It involves raising the removing one wheel lug from each rear wheel and lifting the rear wheels off the ground. With a light, you should be able to spot the star adjuster through the wheel lug hole and turn the star accordingly.

Here's a picture for reference..

Sorted the parking light problem - engine dry steam yesterday then wash & vac; one of the power steering hoses from the ATF resevoir is leaking but don't know which, hence the cleaning, then will get the pipes done tomorrow. Oil change helped with the heavy starts in this cold snap (less than 20C!) but reckon it's the power steering pump making the buzzing/ rumble... bought some Turtle light cover polish cos it came with a free scratch repair pen...

Installed AUX cable right under the ashtray lighter. Yea, custom, and within reach.
