They sure screw us Canadians on gas. $1.169/liter in Airdrie. Considering a refinery is 2.5 hours away. Oh well, it is what it is. I'll need to get to where I'm going.

Not sure if all walmarts are doing it, but if you put money on a gas card in walmart, it takes .10 off a gallon at the pump. Supposedly going to continue through christmas

Yeah, same here in Georgia. Its a really great deal, the W-M just added a gas station and is in a price war with the other stations in the area. Its 10cents cheaper then others plus the 10cent gift card.

$3.39! was just $4.00 last week during the hurricane.

$3.79 a gallon here. I spend way to much money at Kroger, so I had .80 off a gallon - got it for $2.99 a gallon. 4x gas points on giftcards - so I buy giftcards for EVERYTHING.

Well the hubby is going to go pick up some seafoam and carb cleaner. I'm going to clean the TB and give the kids a smoke show, then a bath for Phantom. That way next week all we have to do is a simple oil change, in stead of smoke show, TB clean and oil change as next week is going to be pretty busy for us. Will upload a video of the smoke show later :biggrin:

Edited to add video's of seafoam treatment and smoke show. Please ignore commentary, I was having a mild heart attack during the entire process lmao

First video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ-tQ2Ch9hU&feature=youtu.be

Smoke show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLOP1r4E8sE&feature=youtu.be

Made an attempt to fix rear de-froster grid lines that didn't work. 3-4 of them had breaks in the grid so I got a Frost Fighter kit. Won't know for sure until cold weather sets in, but figured I'd give it a shot. Will check with test light tomorrow after it's had 24 Hrs. to completely dry <fingers crossed>.

Took advantage of the low humidity today (finally) and gave the girl a well deserved deep cleaning, with a touch of polish. :thumbsup:

Resonator just quiets the exhaust sound no emissions filtering. I've always passed inspection in PA with resonator delete.

Yea, As long as there is a cat and the exaust exits behind the pass compartment and past the vehicle body your cool... And I live in a county without emissions tests so as long as my check engine light isnt on and the cat it there I am all good.

BTW, I am a PA certified inspection mechanic...

The picture is kinda self explanatory but I hit 57,000 on the TB today... after I got home from university my mother borrowed my TB to pick up my younger brother. When she got home she said "Darling I think its time for you to get a new car; it has 57,000 miles you don't want it to start giving you problems..." my reply "mom" *shakes head*...............:rotfl:

swapped the transmission pan for the dorman one with drain plug + filter kit + tranny fluid

Seems smoother now.

Just a quick question concerning the quality of said oil pan? Is it a quality product ? Thanks

+1,

With this pan, the supplied drain plug has a copper gasket and tends to leak from what I read.

Use dorman 65270 nylon gasket. A little tight to screw onto the drain plug but it will fit.

Well I removed the washer fluid reservoir from the engine bay to make room for turbo in the spring (this is not something I want to do when I can't feel my hands because its going to be too cold then)

I cut the wiring to the pump and added "extension" wiring to connect it on the inside and wired it back up.
I am using a smaller interior mounted reservoir up under the glove box from summit racing.

washer reservoir free.
