Topic: What did you do to your car today?

[quadzilla]

Got the pit crew to do the winters on the JGC.

Looks like somebody has a future in management.

I have to change the brakes on the Miata in the spring. I'll check that out then!!

  Their website is a bit wonky, they are in Markham, but list in USD and it's better to phone.

I just checked for my '99 Miata.

Prices seem fair but I do question the quality. Also, I wish their top offering was slotted only and not drilled. Drilled rotors seem to crack on cheaper offerings like this.

Have you used them prior to this?

Still, I might roll the dice with these and put a set on the IS300.

Funny you should write “roll” and IS300. We saw an IS300 of that generation near Rogers Pass on our trip that had rolled, and many times. Poor car. They’re kinda rare now, shame to lose one.

You definitely don't see them too often.

Wonder how many manuals like IQs are kicking around?

You would think with slave labour you could afford some real wheels 

I did almost order new wheels for it, but cheaped out & used the cash elsewhere [emoji12]

Did the rear brakes on Bellas's 323i this afternoon as well. Noticed last weekend when I did the winter wheels that the rear brakes were shot! Ordered new rotors & pads from Rockauto on Sunday night & they were delivered by noon Wednesday. Ordered new pads for the front as well, inner ones seem worse than the outside ones, but the rotors look good. So that's tomorrow's job.

I bought rears from them for the Cayenne, they've been on about 18 months now.  I'll match up the fronts and see how they do.   
Rusting a bit more than I'd like, but no cracking that I've noticed

Got the new winter boots installed - Xi3s.

See the weather held for you!  Those rotors; do they have a brand name or were they white box?

Would it be worth it to take it here to work on https://diygarageottawa.ca

That's an interesting place.  Just can't see them allowing ppl to use a tire changer.

In January or February, sure! Today was fine for me out there. I don't mind the cold as long as I can stay dry.

Friend dropped car off with me and then we hung out/ran errands in his until mine was done.  But yeah, in future, I’ll drop you a quick line to see if you’re aound when I’m in the vicinity.
