wow $300.00 per month..is that with no violation??

alhope34 · 02-04-2009, 05:16 PM

One ticket, 10km/h over, $500 and $300 deductables, 24,000kms a year and 15km one way each day work commute. Also, I'm 22 and had my license 5 years now. Plus I'm in Scarborough.

I actually just started taking TTC this month. Parking is going up in price and most people who live in my area are from a country that never gets snow, so you can understand how most of them drive in the morning winter commute, lol.

Remote car starter and new deck

Oh wait those are already in.

Uhm, does rustproofing count as a mod?

I do plan on installing a hidden lock-box for my new toy:

Why wait until spring for that?

I plan to have rear sway bar installed this spring, other than that just wax the car.

Benggolf2 · 03-18-2009, 01:58 AM

Done with the installation of the Fiamm horns and the electrochromic rear
view mirror. :) Gotta look for more mods to do.

Rear sway bar is a really easy install. In all seriousness it took around 10-15 minutes. The worse part was figuring out where to jack the car and getting the sway bar into place.

I backed mine up onto ramps.

I don't have any ramps myself but that sounds a hell of a lot easier.

No ramps or jacks. I just crawled under it.

thebarber · 03-18-2009, 02:50 PM

well, summer rubber is on and so is the intake....still need to drop 'er and throw the exhaust on....

devinlamothe · 03-18-2009, 06:51 PM

I was paying ~$300 a month when I first bought the car new as well. And that was with a perfect driving record. Insurance is the biggest rip-off ever.

I'm now paying $202 a month, but my policy is up in May, and I was quoted at $160 a month - then in August I turn 25, so that should bring it down to $90 a month.

In any case, I am planning on adding fog lights this summer. That's pretty much it ... and maybe some new wipers.

Tempting fate! Mother Nature can be a nasty bitch! I predict we'll get one more big snowstorm before the end.

mojoyaris · 03-21-2009, 02:01 AM

I installed the stock muffler I got from Bengolf and I just got my Lenso VPD 13 x 7.5's on Kumho V710's. Yummmy.

On the 29th, I'm going to the Porsche club of America event to compete and surprise all the Pcars out there with a little weee Yari. Quiet, silent but deadly.......Hope I get some good times out there.
