Maybe parts are more expensive in Canada. I got a gallon of BMW antifreeze and the thermostat/housing combo from Pelican parts for about $75 American. |  | | | 01-07-2011, 04:05 AM | #842 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 |

However, one of the previous owners of the stromung was in an accident (something smacked the rear) while the stromung was installed and bent the pipe up pretty bad. The adjustment was bending the pipe to get the muffler off the bumper cover. 2mpg better now and the car runs much better with the header fixed. No more extra air throwing the O2 sensor readings off  The spacers for the springs worked wonders. The car handles incredibly now. Understeer is pretty much gone, rear is stable during cornering. It actually turns  __________________  No more ti. | | | | | 01-11-2011, 01:02 PM | #845 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Fiji Posts: 169 |

What's the weight of the Diff so i can calculate shipping. 3. How much will you let it go for?

I am not sure but I think it is a direct bolt on. Your gears will be longer and this means you will probably waste less gas overall but I don't know anything else. The weight is about 80LBS I paid $90-120 for shipping these in the US. I'll let it go for $200 + shipping __________________ | | | | | 01-12-2011, 03:53 AM | #849 | | Junior Member Join Date: Jan 2011 Location: Tennessee Posts: 19 |
I took out the old stock head unit and added a new aftermarket head unit. Finally, sound... out of some busted sounding speakers, hahah. | | | | | 01-12-2011, 04:02 AM | #850 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Fiji Posts: 169 | Head Unit

I changed mine to an aftermarket BOSS MP3 Player and couldn't get sound than i figured out the problem (AMP was not powered up) and the speaker connections from the car were actually high inputs to the factory amps. | | | | | 01-12-2011, 07:19 AM | #851 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2009 Location: MD/PA/DC Posts: 1,629 |
Drove it home in some snow with the winter tires. The car really needs some weight in the trunk. My mustangs were better in the snow. __________________ No more ti. | | | | | 01-12-2011, 07:25 AM | #852 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2010 Location: Ottawa, ON Posts: 108 |

My protege 5 was awesome in this weather. | If you don't have traction control go with the sand. Works like a charm. | | | | | |
