That was the first time I've seen a handgun outside of a shooting range. It was pretty beat up, I don't want to think about what its been used for. The car was in really great shape, its a shame it was put in a lake.

If you are a meth dealer from Quebec, I found your revolver.

So I went to the wreckers today to get a front bumper. When I reached inside the engine bay to get a hard to reach bolt I felt a ziploc bag. There was a loaded revolver double bagged sitting near the washer fluid reservoir. Apparently the car belonged to a meth dealer from quebec who dumped the car ...

Thanks for the recommendation. I was going to wait until I got to Calgary to fix the exhaust but the noise is driving me crazy so I've got the car booked in at a place called ABC muffler and hitch in Edmonton for tomorrow. They quoted me a price of $499 for a full exhaust with a magnaflow resonator ...

Moving to Calgary, need exhaust and front bumper

Hi! I'm putting my mx-3 back on the road after it sat in my garage for over a year. I'm moving to Calgary for work and need to get a new exhaust system. Could anyone recommend a place to get a decently price performance system installed? I'm going to be using the car for my job so I don't want anyth...

I dont know about Saskatchewan, but in Alberta mx-3's still sell for between $3500 and $8000 depending on the year and condition. I would think Saskatchewan would have even less of them floating around. You could end up lucky, but I'd start checking the classifieds, autotrader and the bargainfinder ...

the JDMsource website is incorrect. The quoted price is just for the engine, no ecu, no tranny. They should really fix the site.

ya, the rear calipers are notorious for having the e-brake latch seize. If you want a temporary fix, take off your wheel and pull the e-brake latch back to its normal postion. I have to use rope for leverage on mine. You can try putting some lube in there but if you want to be able to use your e-bra...

Problem solved! well, my favorite solution worked on my car. I tried starting it again yesterday and it fired right up. Its not starting as well as it used to, I have to give it some gas to get it to catch, so is there something that could be causing a problem? I think I'll change the rotor cap as i...

sorry about taking so long to reply, I'm in the middle of writing final exams. I started the car a month ago just to make sure it stayed lubricated and move the oil around a bit. The car started up fine then so it makes this even more frustating. The plugs were changed recently but I think the wires...

Help me reawaken the beast

I tried to start up my car on Sunday after it sat on my driveway for the winter. It was turning over and its getting fuel I think (I could smell the gas after cranking for a while) but wouldnt start, even when I tryed boosting it. It sounds really close to starting, does anyone have any idea whats w...

Re: dodge/crysler PITA

Is the TE04H a good combo with the KLDE? Its going to be a winter project for me and that turbo seemed like the best fit for the car. 2.5L to 2.5L, pretty new and dirt cheap. Whats the wastegate like on it? I only want to run 5-6 psi of boost so it should be able to handle it right?

Re: dodge/crysler PITA

thanks for the great tips. Theres a dodge caravan at my local yard with a T4 that I wanted to get. Theres not really anyway to get underneath so I guess I'll have to take the head off.

dodge/crysler PITA

How the hell do you get a turbo off of a dodge or crysler. I was at the junkyard going at a shadow but the car had no tires so I couldn't get underneath. Is there any way to get one from the top or do I need to just flip the car over? :D
