Nice looking truck Vmango!  :thumbup:

Nice, now show me your box  :P
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

Looks great, black certainly is beautiful. Does it have a leveling kit? looks to sit a bit higher than most.

Oil and filter change.  Had Pirelli Cinturato P7 tires installed.  205/50R17 size.
But did you adjust pressures for a smooth no bump ride?  Sorry, couldn't help it...  ;)

Also very disappointed that Wink didn't go with HERCULES TIRES G5000Z (215/40ZR17)

 ;D

Haven't checked the pressure yet.  Might be impossible to achieve a smooth, no bump ride on Winnipeg's cratered streets.

That size Hercules would work on the Mazda, but I have my standards.   :rofl2:

Nice truck Vman!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Decided to work on the defunct Subaru 3.0, this was the seized up sludgy junk that barely outlived it's 3 month Hotch's Auto Parts warranty.
The valve in the middle cylinder is actually embedded into the head, the rest are just sitting there.  The far cylinder valves are quite bent and about to break.

Ouch ! I hope that's not indicative of all Subaru engines.

Changed the oil in the FozXT, and installed a Fumoto to make things cleaner for next time.

Last evening I wanted to go for a nice drive in the S2000, but it was too cold for my wife so she stayed home.  It was cold, but also a crystal clear evening and i hadn't had a chance to drive it all week so I was antsy for a good one. 

I had a nice spirited drive through some back roads and then stopped at a friend's house for a visit.  I took the highway on the way home and within a few minutes I was approaching a long line of traffic and noticed the last car in line was a light blue S2000.  Just after I passed him he pulled out and got right behind me and stayed there.  I amped it up a little and so did he, then I amped it up a bit more as did he....  This went on for the rest drive on the highway and I think I made it home in record time as a result!  ;D

Lots of fun!  Also, as ther aren't many blue S2000's around here I am wondering if it was the same one I test drove the same day as the one I ended up buying.  :-\

Anyway, just in case the driver is a forum member;  Thanks for the cool drive!!  :fiver:

Ps, I forgot how good the headlights are on the S2000.  They cast a nice wide white beam of light into the shoulders and far enough ahead to scan for wildlife.
