Sorry, thought I had that under my name...guess not, anyway I am in Barrie Ontario

Hey guys, I finaly broke down and gave in to temptation and bought a new car. So I have now room for my MX. Its a Blue 94' GS V6 with under 100,000K (Replaced the K8 @ 171,000 with one around 40,000 and it has 230,000 now). It has the GS Rims with BF Goodrich Traction T/A's and Winter Tires on 94 RS ...

go with the narrow x-ice.... i know they are pricey but I have a set and they "STICK"

hmmm, i'd stick with the shop... that way if anything goes wrong, they're reliable for it....u dont want to end up replacing more than u have to....or smashing your finger

yea, check your 02's ... I had a similar problem, had the left going bad....check your codes with the paper clip trick in the FAQ and shop manual

yep, could be freezing... I have the same thing. Every winter, I loose fluid, but it isnt leaking anywhere... maybe too many e-brake turns in the snow

would a bad inner tie rod cause a vibration?? i did the ball joints and just had my winters balanced....but there is a vibration between 85 - 100 ... above or below there isnt much if at all

D.

Ok guys, so here goes. I finaly bit the bullet and went into crappy tire to have the suspension looked at. I thought for sure my clunking over bumps was the end links. Well it turns out the clunking is from my inner tie rod on the drivers side. The passenger side ball joint is gone too. He showed me ...

Ok here's my question. I have a GS with the stock 15's on it....I have someone with a set of 14's (195/60/r14) X-Ice on steel wheels, is it a bad idea to go smaller? I know the speedo will be out, but what are side effects? If I dont have to pay for winter's would be ideal .

D

can anyone recommend a place to get universal steel's for winter cheap....59.95 a rim at C.T is steep, I know they are cheaper. In the barrie area prefered but will travel.

thanks.

strange... I fill my tank up when the light comes on (takes about 39L) so I have about a 10-11L supply still in it, and I get 500KM on that 40L, so with the extra 10 I bet I could push 600 but I dont want to try. And its on a K8...just my .02

Ok, its definatly the seperator hose....when I fill it to the top it leaks out, and when it isnt leaking, it stinks from it.....so, should I "patch" it or replace it? I dont want to have to replace ALL the lines (like a mechanic said I would on these cars)

Ok, so when I adjust the idle (by the screw on top), should I hear more air being drawn in...like a louder hiss the more I open it?

I know I know, another dam charge question. I conclude its the Alt but i want a second opinion before I go home to fix it. I was driving down the highway and then I hit traffic so I stop. Well the charge light came on as well as my low fuel light (I had 1/2 tank). The rpm's didnt drop or anything ...

check your stabilizer links, they could be coming unseated over bumps... I had a bad one and it sounded like a thump from the front right (almost like a loose engine mount) when i went over bumps...try that
