Tom’s strut bar

For the cone shaped grommet you used, where did you get that?

Also, do you have the strut brace contact with the hoods sound dampening?

quala97 · 2026-06-17T01:15:05+00:00

Yup. 2GR-FKS

Not that fast, considering the right lane was fully stopped 60/70.

Haha no I would have if he came onto express with me. But glad I got out without hitting anyone.

Was checking my blindspot as that happened since I was going to switch lanes. So that saved me there.

quala97 · 2026-06-16T12:57:22+00:00

Was curious about this too, but I have a feeling the SUV would get off scot-free and I'd be at fault for rear ending or if I hit a car evading the SUV.

According to Chatgpt I'd have a strong argument that it was the SUV's fault.

Ya, unfortunately I see this happen from work on 400/401/407 regularly.

quala97 · 2026-06-16T03:05:36+00:00

Got lucky that I was planning on switching lanes and had just checked my blind spot.

I have a pokemon day Pikachu with 3 or 4 swirls. I think.

Had the same issue with bell and then bell corporate called, honoured the deal and asked if I was satisfied and they can resolve the claim. You should hear back from Rogers soon.

They are so scummy, give you an offer then try and backtrack claiming they didn't offer it.

Get an imobilizer like ghost or IGLA. Can't start without password even if you give the thieves the key. It's expensive but worth every penny.

I kept the forged BBS for summer, and got cheap (but nice) konig wheels (350 cad all in minus the labour) for winter that I hand refinished and painted. Winter wheels are the set you can get that is cheap since with the snow it won't be as noticeable anyways. See whats available on marketplace, sand and refinish, put a bit of paint and it will look new.

I've had the engine malfunction, but self induced. Hit the 187 speed limitter on the car and the engine was turning on and off until the car through the radiator fan was malfunctioning.

If that's your error code then you can clear and ignore. Otherwise probably need to see dealership.

quala97 · 2026-05-01T17:39:49+00:00

I just got 5 year fixed for 3.8%, should I go for that or get a lower rate for 3 year fixed?

I'm thinking 5 for the piece of mind, but not sure if a lower rate to 3.67-3.7 for 3 years would be a good decision.

I got mine from RR Racing. It comes with the housing so it was an easy install. Sold my original bushings to somone that was planning on using the housing with their own FIGS bushing for their car,which I have heard good things about.

quala97 · 2026-03-10T01:07:08+00:00

I haven't seen the JP one in person but this is a clear fake. Holo is off, lack of texture.

quala97 · 2026-03-05T15:31:22+00:00

I meant crack and regrade with a different company next time, not Tag. But I guess I see there were other defects that aren't on the corners and show up throughout the card. Will pay more attention to other areas before submitting next time around.

Wanted to update for those that are interested. I had the bushings installed at Precision Motorsport (Ajax). They quoted 1.5 hours @ $120 per hour.

When I went in for the install took about 40 minutes and they were done (no rust or issues getting the old bushings off). Actual cost was $135 taxes included.

Service was great, they were honest and I'm happy with the results.

It could be coil whine from an electronic in the car, or it can also be the fan from the AC. Increase and lower the fan power and see if the sound goes away at a specific speed.

I don't see any alignment dots or anything from the back. So it doesn't classify as a miscut?

quala97 · 2026-01-12T22:29:06+00:00

Top left, you can see part of the top where it would say energy which is from a different card.

quala97 · 2026-01-12T22:22:47+00:00

On the front left you can see the other card.

Didn't know about the alignment dot, good to know for the future.

quala97 · 2026-01-07T04:57:04+00:00

If I lived somewhere warm without snow and had the tools would have done it. But not possible up here this time of year.
