Put the summer toys away and prepped the winter beater.

AWD Goodness!!! Snow tyres ordered and on the way.


Swapped the tyres out and put the storage tyres on the Rustang.

315's in the rear. Holy hell, these things didn't look this wide.


Side by side. Stock vs Summers. 245 vs. 315


Flushed fluids and cleaned up the engine bay a bit.


A few shots before I put it away.




And how it sits now. GNSP See you next summer.

Is that a matrix? I drove one of those to Miami - versitile cars.

Mustang looks good - I think I see silver mesh in the grill - I would black that out.

anyone need a beater?
i wanna sell my wifes 2007 SX4 sport JLX 4wd (with low range!), 5spd manual, all power options, i think it has about 75,000km on it. She has owned it from new
all maintance up to date, new front brakes, it has been battered around, has dents, scratches, broken antenna and has had the rear bumper replaced. it has had zero issues, like nothing at all go wrong. Super reliable.
Comes with new general altimaxx winters on spare rims, and new Continetals on stock wheels.
i was thinking like 5-6k

Winter beater not found. Snow tires and common sense prevail. Deep snow can be trouble though.

I still have to buy winters and get the car krowned.

I'll take the front lip off in a month.

Edit - crap I need an alignment too because I've been screwing with the suspension so much lately as well.

I always like Hankooks. Good in snow but better yet good in dry and doesn't feel "squishy" (that you'll be driving in most of the time)

there's 70 bucks MIR for the blizzaks.

550 all in from tires23 for WS80 185/65/15. so after the MIR, it'd cost me .. ah fuck it too high to math.

I had 3 sets of hankook, so gonna try the blizzaks this time.

atleast on the RSX they did. well to be specific they sucked on acceleration, stopping, turning on snow was good. going or stopping on cold dry sucked, squishy as fuck.

jeff i forgot aboot the hankooks. will price them out, alot of ppl seem happy with them.

Went to them for winters and all seasons, they were great and had the best price each time. If you go through the rfd then try to book on a weekday as weekends are crazy for bookings.

ya a few reasons why I swapped already...even tho my summer tires are all seasons anyway. Main reason I didn't want to be doing it in zero degree weather (or close to it), second is the temp is mostly single digits when I'm on the road (early morn, late afternoon/eve) so its snow tire weather anyway. Third I got a big ass nail in one of my summer tires. It wasn't leaking yet but didn't want to risk having the temp drop and it become a problem and/or find myself with a flat.

This way at least i'm all set and done.....earliest Saturday Krown appt thats close by my house is nov 22 so after that point i'll be full winter mode.

Blizzaks are one of the best (excluding Nokians).. It's too bad they're so fucking soft and wear out quick.

Yup, you'll be changing them after 3 season, but for ice traction, especially those glazed over intersections, nothing stops or turns better.
Studded Nokians = heaven. I'm tempted to run them in the city \:\)

Even studless, Nokians are crazy when it comes to grip and tread life, I really don't know how they do it to be honest.

i'd have to agree actually...BUT blizzaks when new are amazing and dont think alti's can match those even new. +1 for the blizz wearing out quicker tho and performance does drop off, but still decent. tho nokians > all above.

im impressed with hankook winters (both variations) for the money nowadays as well.

I'm running Firestone Winterforce on the S10, they are pretty good. No complaints so far, also running them on the wagon this year.

I was responding to "winter beater out" rather than the tire conversation.

WS80's will be kickass man, you'll like them.

Jeffo holy cow - how much? lol ballin'.

can't wait to try these 'all weather' optimo 4S on the R, see if they're bullshit or actually workout ok in the snow.

I just bought those, with carbide steel studs. I'll be interested to see how good they are with all the cold temps and ice here in Saskatchewan.

are the w310 the successor of the ice bears w300? I had them on the rsx and really hated them. found them slippery and no traction in deep snow. I hope they really improved them.

Yup they're the new ones. Never had issues with the 300s though I had them on the IS350. I don't drive though a lot of deep snow though

Lol it's the opposite man cheaper to just use what I already have. I wouldn't want steelies so buying a set of cheap wheels is more expensive.

They are both comparable. Some sets are identical in price ands will swing every so slightly either way between the two.

I wouldnt be surprised if they discussed pricing together.

The best winters I've personally used and driven on were Toyo winters, but expensive. Then the blizzaks, which I'm still on and then the Hankook's.

Didn't like the Michelin Alpine's at all & the Dunlops (Graspic & 3D's) were okay.

Still have to try some Nokian's, those are next on my list

Did you have new studless ice and snow blizzaks with the dual tread compound? I had the LM80 performance ones and they were shit on the ice. The WS70s were great on the ice, but only before wearing throug the first 50%

lm is a performance winter. what you lose in ice performance you gain in dry handling and feedback.

where the ws70 will be mushy and have worse dry performance. Its a compromise for any tire.

Never had a balance problem from tires23, and I think it's been 4 sets of tires.
Going with these guys anyway. The price ended up being the same as tires23, and they are close by so we will see!

New ws70's no LM's for me.

I still prefer my Toyo's, but so expensive to replace.

Winter wheels in full effect. I put some spacers on the rear so the stock wheels won't look so sunken in. Stock tires are 235s but the winters will be 245s

Front lip will come off in a few weeks and I'll Krown it.

Looks so different with the darker smaller wheels on it.

Why are you going to crown it when you will probably sell the car well within the corrosion warranty? I know bimmer has an 11 year corrosion perforation warranty, I'm guessing Lexus is the same?

Perforation warranty is ridiculous - you know how rusty a car has the be to rust a hole in it? Those are Mazda problems man.

I want the underside and all of the bolts and nuts to be protected. Makes it way easier to work on. Also I plan on keeping this one for awhile and add a sports car in the future or pass along to gf unit as her daily.

It's also only 100 bucks.

stretched tires
rougher ride
adding extra kms for no reason
lower to ground

More benefits to going wider (since 235 is a weird size)

Edit - it will also look stupid being so small in the wheel wells (radius). The benefits to being a few mm narrow is minimal in the type of snow we drive in especially since I have awd

car looks much ebtter with the birghter wheels, but who cares, it's winter haha.

I swapped winter this weekend as well, on my wifes car one lug nut was cross threaded, DOH, it only came half way loose then stopped. Couldnt do anything to get it off. Had to bust of the sawzall and get in there to cut the lug nut \:\(
Stupid Suzuki, you cant change a lug nut without pressing out the hub!!
Decided it was finally time to buy a press, got a hydrlic 12 ton, pressed out the hub, bearing toasted \:\(
$189 locally for the bearing or $50 from Rockauto!! What the hell, now the car sits waiting for the fedex man

i bent up the 12 ton pretty good doing various bearings.
shouldve got 20

as for the tire size...I could see 235 being off.
what size stock wheels? can they fit 225 better?

who cares about looks THAT much in winter? :p 225 > 245 in the snow. but either way youll be fine.

It will vary from car to car and what bearing you are working on of course.

/age matters too. the older the harder it usually is.

Michelin Xi3's sidewalls so squishy wtf... makes the car feel so twitchy \:\(

Maybe some more PSI will help... I usually run my tires at 32 PSI.

Euphoric: I agree with you. I'd run 225 for winter too (infact, that's what I am buying). My sumemrs are 255 fwiw. I don't see any reason to run a wider tire. Winters are squirmy as it is. Putting a narrower tire on a wider rim will make it less squirmy. Plus, it's not the issue of forward traction in the snow (awd arguement). It's about steering and braking. Having a narrower tire in snow makes the car more responsive. A wider tire tends to ride atop the snow more vs slice through it. Rally cars are all about braking and cornering. They run bicycle tires \:D



Furball - I'd run higher pressure if it was dry. In low traction conditions, lower psi is preferred. But if you're dealing with squirm...uh yeah, 32 is low. I run 36psi in the summer time.

You can always air down if the conditions call for it, airing up isn't as easy when you're in sloppy conditions \:\) I run my winters at 35psi, if it's bad out I'll air them down to 30psi or so.

You guys are hilarious - it's a 10mm difference from stock and the bigger size that everyone with a GS runs is 10mm wider than stock. Further to that you're losing comfort and adding unnecessary kms on your car (even if it's minimal) - for what? That big rally I would be driving from my house to work on the 6 days I'll actually be driving on uncleared roads?

With wheel sizes you never go smaller than stock circumference on a daily with low profile tires if you have to choose - it rides worse. I'm on 19's none of these 14 or 15 inch doughnuts deals. You know how small the sidewall is as it sits?

I get the principles of a narrower tire in snow but it won't make a measurable amount of difference here vs the benefits of a taller sidewall.

Do you even rally broooooo????

This is pretty much inline with 4age's car reviews, always review car performance/handling/everything under most extreme conditions which account for .0000000000000000000001% of driving and then use that as a blanket statement to make a point. A good review should be that AND REAL LIFE APPLICATION/livability!!! XD XD XD

BRB rally.

Jeff, we sold our legacy GT after 7 years with no rust. No rust on my E46 M3 either (that hardly got driven in the winter, if ever). Point is by the time you sell the car, it won't have rust on it and Krown will be a waste of money. If you plan on holding onto the car for 10+ years, I can see you doing crown.

I agree with the principles and I also agree to go with the narrowest tire you can (but within the oem height specs). But I'm with you real world application - if I had non oem wheels sure buy a narrower wheel and get a tire that fits the height specs.

Also we drive in mostly non snowy cold conditions for about 5 months of the year - screw making the car look terrible for so long ;).

It's like saying I could get better acceleration with super low profile tires and 17s (if they fit the brakes) - sure but everything else would suck.

I'm also not raising my car up - you basically have to take the suspension apart to do that and get another alignment - no way Jose.

yep i agree.. narrower is good but only to a point. it's not a massive difference that you will feel in city driving

4age: these are andros from tire rack.. audi replica wheels 17x7.5


my stock tire size is 255/35/19

winters are 215/50/17, bit narrower and also half an inch shorter in terms of nominal height

Yes I know wheel sizes, offsets and tire sizes extremely well - I've probably had more wheels, tires and done research than most if not all people here.

Going 225 from 235 all else the same will be a 1 inch difference in circumference approx as well a 1.2% differenc (smaller meaning I will put on an extra 1% in kms).

Going to a 45 series tire at 225 makes it 2.2% larger which is too big from stock.

Going to a 245 40 from the stock 235 is only 1.2% larger. So I have to choose larger or smaller for the minimal difference - I choose 1 percent larger.

I think there is a miscommunication here somewhere.
I don't see how going to a narrow tire affects circumference at all.
Tire diameter has to do with width plus aspect ratio of the tire. You can maintain circumference whilst going to a narrower tire if that is your concern.

BTW a taller sidewall is going to also provide more grip in low traction conditions.

EDIT: Just read your response on diameters. Ok, so you went with the one that would have the smallest effect. I get it, I get it XD

tried to use the best wheel+tire size that will fit the largest number of cars e.g. bigger 26" cars like passat, a4, a5, a6 and at the same time also fit 25" cars like a3, jetta, golf, etc

had to do lots of measuring and maths.. but i think (hope) it will work overall.

1% extra km's over winter is essentially meaningless.
On top of that it will balance out from your summer usage.


why not just run the stock 235 size?

are you planning on switching a lot of cars over the ocurse of their life?

did you get a discounted price since it was a potentially more common size?

Is it even 1%, I'd think it's less /haven't done teh mathz

Even at 1%, if you drive a lot (10k on winters) that's only 100km more a year. moot point

But it is a factor on top of everything else I stated. Do you notice the difference in sidewall comfort? Yes.

Hey you put whatever you want on your cars. I'll keep doing it my way - seems to work.

You get like 10% of the options at that size.

true but it seems the tires you went with actually come in the stock size.

obviously do whatever you want. Run 24" donks I dun care. Just trying to understand why you would bother with a wider winter.

Comfort benefit with availability - while the other tires may come in that size its always a wait because nobody uses them for anything. Also this matches exactly with my summer wheel size.


24 inches is for next summer man

I don't mind the darker rims in the sun. They have a nice colour when the light hits them.

spd-dmn, images below of back of wheel.
these are 18x8 alzor style 349.

JWL certified for 815kg. I was surprised it got such a rating given that it's such an inexpensive wheel. Then I weighed it and I found out why...they are 30lbs XD XD XD





they also make oem reps. might be the same manufacturer. shrug

That is some mega wally shit right there. My first job out of school was the same thing, back into spots, etc, safety safety safety. Bud we are not in the field, we don't need a health and safety committee walking around checking for dangerous office conditions. WOW YOU HAVE A BOX WITHIN 12 INCHES FROM YOUR CHAIR, MOVE IT RIGHT NOW /goes to write you up formally. wow amaze such safety please stfu

I remember those clowns would have monthly meetings that would go on for over an hour every month, over HEALTH AND SAFETY IN AN OFFICE? Anyway I ended up joining to waste half of my fridays once a month \:\|

lol dude. i hear ya but because i work in big oil, everything is all based on what is done out in the field and it trickles down.

we have a STRICT no booze policy. if i have a beer at lunch, i'm actually not allowed to go back to work. many times, i've wanted to have a beer at lunch just so i don't have to return to work.

I suppose as you're coming into work, you don't really need to 'rush' per se, unless you're rushing for the time punch.

But if the refinery is about to fucking explode and you wanna GTFO... Back in works better?

the thinking is, in the event of an emergency and everyone is trying to get the fuck out of dodge, you can just pull out and get outta there, and you won't run over anyone else when you're trying to back out.

Not only that but I think it takes like less than half the time to evacuate a parking lot of cars that are backed in versus mixed parking.

Calling for possible snow over the next little bit.

/obviously will melt when it hits the ground. But still . ideally 3 sets of wheels and tires would be best \:\| Because its getting too cold for those all out performance summers. But Im not exactly ready to slap winters on yet.

S is hibernating as of last week.

Wifey's SUV is getting her winters on now since I just washed her summer wheels, might as well get them off and bagged when they are clean and dry. (plus I have spare cycles now to get it done).

My daily beater. Probably won't do it for another couple of weeks. Gotta re-bleed the brakes (sensors / service reminder is complaining) and have the front pads inspected. Might as well do them at the same time.

I was on my way to tire23 and there was an arsehole driving a red e36 m3 tailgating me on 403/eastgate parkway off ramp. i give him a derp brake check and purposely slowed down. I wonder if that's Euphoric? I mean I did see the guy snap a pic of my license plate. Nonetheless, I returned the favor and snapped a phoot back of his plate not sure what that'd accomplish?

LOL I've had people taking vids of my M3 while driving...guess they didn't like being passed on a 2 lane road (legal pass with no on-coming car in sight). Sure I was probably doing 140...can't help it if 3rd gear gets up there that fast lol.

So i have received a useless warning letter from york regional pigs...i mean cops...i mean police about it. What a crock of shit, not like they can do shit since there is no proof as to who is driving the car...stupid ass markham fucks reporting useless shit.

Most likely him as he is driving god'a chariot while the wagon is in for maintenance. Post up the pic I will know right away


he did pull into the bmw dealer off of dixie road.

pic coming up...

That was most definitely Euphoric

I'd love to hear his side of the story, especially on the brake check...

All I've seen today are brown people with poor skills in beige civics. But that's normal everyday stuff. Were you one of those ?

the "best" tires and big reviews all vary. If the tire is half decent(which most you can buy here are) you can find reviews saying how good it is.
If the same tires are tested ..but by different publications, on different days, using different sizes and a different car, you will get different results.


can't really go wrong with any of them. ws80 is listed there but hasnt really been tested yet. They are just assuming its the best because new.

Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V1 for me!

But the wheels section of the star is about as useless as it comes for comparison or any kind of automotive info

It is when the tires are slippery in cold already, never mind when it is wet/snow.

Got fed up of simply this week, tried to get a hold of someone for install/balance to no avail. Usually don't pick up the phone, I understand they are busy, but they just lost a customer.

Steelcase had the same tires for $1/tire more, going there. Saves me the hassle of driving in that construction shithole and it will get done during my lunch.

Best way is email with Simply. Allen answers promptly

I did email him, he did answer on the price, but i wanted to setup a time and make sure i am not stuck there waiting like in the past even though i set a time...i would much rather have that convo over the phone and not on email. Anyway, i am actually glad i found a place closer to home. I don't want to drive there tbh.

This isn't a fitted cover, but it might as well be. I bought the one for medium sized cars and it barely fit due to the width of the car I guess? It's really snug around the fenders/quarters and was just long enough. Can't pull the cover past the tail pipes to give you an idea...

How tight is your cover? Being in an underground garage I assume there is lots of traffic too right? If the cover isn't snug that's probably why you get dust under the cover, which is shit because you risk scratching the paint when taking it off.

Snow tires on yesterday. They've still got a ton of tread but '09 build dates and they're starting to show some cracking on the sidewalls. Probably the last winter for them.

yes, i posted this earlier in the thread. i just got hankook optimo 4s all weathers from crappy, seems pretty good so far. will have to wait for snow to see how they do, but reviews seems decent. can't go wrong for the money.

http://tires.canadiantire.ca/en/tires/al...Fw&gclsrc=aw.ds

your only other options are nokian wrg3 (wrg2 discon.) or Nordman.
i THINK michelin has one out or coming out.
bigger money doe.

Any feedback yet SDC2R? I would consider something like that in the future if they're still good in the snow.... and if they make a 155/80/13 size

lawls

they're very smooth given current conditions, way better feedback than a full winter and much less vibration thru the wheel feedback. grip is great for what they are.

Wasn't gonna chance it this year lol I always wait too long and it snows before I get them on. Plus I had to pull on of mine down because a customer wanted to see the colour of the wheels before he bought a set, they were the only ones I had around lol. Figured I already had them down may as well throw them on.

I've been deceived pretty much all my fucking existence of the EL that the car doesn't have enough 'sound proofing'... (It ain't no luxo-level soundproof, but it'll do...)

Riding on the fucking Michelin Xi3's I can actually HEAR my passenger without speaking Asian decibels at highway speeds...

Fucking BFG Advantage T/A all seasons and anything prior to that were loud... I had no idea..........

</TheMoreYouKnow>

Now to start hunting for decent (Touring?) All-Seasons for spring...

That's amazing, let's assume HST paid on car is approx $5,200 (regardless if you traded in another car for it offset, the HST was paid at one point) + $5,000 depreciation hit over 5 years (assuming he owns it that much and I am being conservative,chances are it will be higher), plus insurance of $600/year @ 5 years = $3,000 plus gas at 1,500 km @ 15L/100km @ $1.50/L for 5 years = $1,687, + sparco car cover $160 + HST = $181

So roughly $2/km driven \:o or $3k per summer to own this ornament.

Yeah, Im getting my tire sets through Simply. Their prices during the groupbuys are about $50 cheaper then 23. Not a huge amount though.

That being said, 23 sell the WT mats for $150 cash tax/freight all-in.

Need to do an oil change on the M and then park it till next year \:\(

Not sure they make sense in Toronto with the number of spots required. I can't see using these if there's another level under you anyway. My building has only one parking level and the building is on a large piece of land with only one spot made for each 3 units or so.

Basically you're bitching about the scenario of coming home and finding your neighbour's car is at ground level and so you'd have to get out, press the button then he can park his car on the bottom part of the lift?

I'd consider this no different than coming home and finding a car blocking your driveway and you'd have to go inside, get the keys, move it out of the way so you can put your car into the garage.

Not ideal, but this beats circling down several floors to get to your spot.

Had all 6 injectors replaced last year (near tail end of CPO warranty) as it kept throwing CEL.

Now I've had 2 power loss warnings in the last 3 days. (restarting the car's fine)

Probably keep this for 1 more year then get a different beater (even though I love the power and bells and whistles in this thing) :p

That Camry's rear bumper is awfully close to the concrete. Is there a sensor or do people rip their bumpers apart every other month?

Diesel will last longer than your typical gas engine if you maintain it properly.
I don't need a SUV so once VW fixes their bullshit TDI scandal, I want to jump in to a Golf Wagon TDI.

I build a 328d on BMW.ca, it came out more than a X3 Diesel. WTF BMW?

I've had to replace an injector as well, due to water infiltration on the harness (stupid bmw design where cowling cracks and lets water in), then two other injectors were leaking. I've done the glow plugs and modules (only the module was bad), the DEF injector, and a map sensor. Combined with the EGR cooler cracking (replaced twice under warranty due to faulty design), I can't say its without its fair share of issues. All the known BMW issues have been addressed. I think there is only one that I have yet to experience, and that is either the DEF tank level sensor or heater. I have stayed on top of the maintenance, all fluids in the car have been changed recently (tranny, diffs, transfer case).

Good thing is the diesel still has a mechanical water pump, so no random dying of the electric water pump on all other models (like your beater), leaving you stranded. No HPFP to fail (gas model).

No sensor. There's a bar at the front you out your tires against.

So what the consensus on this? I'd obviously like to keep my new car nice and pretty for many years to come but at the same time, I have had no issues with my barely washed 8 year old SUV.

Is the Krowning worth it for the long run?

If your car is a mazda or american, yes XD

Otherwise, new stuff seems to be very good at dealing with winter salt.
My dad had a 1st gen tt that was 10+ years old, and it had no rust on the body. The only thing that rusted out were the rear springs.

I did krown my mustang when I had it. Seeing how it was built/put together, you'd understand why I did. But if you don't drive a mustang then you're good \:D

I had my EP from 2003 to 2015. Never bothered with rust proof, there was ZERO rust. Not even the usual Honda fender rust. Most EPs I've seen on the road seem to be in decent shape. The car was made in England so maybe they sourced better metal there. Not sure.

The Toyota won't be getting any special treatment. Just weekly washes in the winter (Petro seasons pass shared with neighbours).

Krowning definitely makes a noticible difference when working on the cars with seized bolts and generally in nicer looking condition underneath vs not. It's so cheap why not do it?

Yup. If it was a fancier car that was more of a toy to me vs a daily driver I wouldn't but it's a daily driver. I'm just not going to do it under the hood as that can get messy.

I did a winter prep on my buddies brand new TLX and his dads RDX yesterday. it's crazy how crappy the dealers prep a brand new car, imo they didn't even look like new cars even though the tlx has 1200kms on it and the RDX has 500km on it. now they look new and are nice and sealed up for winter. i also found a new carnuba wax to put over the sealant that makes it bling pretty nicely. (shitty ipotato pics)







^how new cars are supposed to look imo. i also had to clay them like a mother, the paint was so contaminated.

- I thought this was common knowledge already?

yeah new cars...pretty much it's off the factory floor, parked outside in a huge lot by the rail ready to go, they sit on the rail cars for the trip, offloaded into another huge lot and sit until ready to ship to a dealer. the car then sits (most likely) outside a the dlr until sold. for acura's the usually sit a bit longer than honda's lol.

the dlr just PDI's it, gases it up, washes it and it's delivered to you as such. they don't have time/money/manpower or care to 'detail' a car for you...as long as it's washed it's considered ready to go, they're busy as crap as it is i find.

honda/acura paint already isn't the best from factory which doesn't help. regardless, most new cars will look 10x better after a good claybar and polish/wax...esp dark colours.

my car and that rdx weren't as bad as my friend's tlx. it sounded like i was dry sanding the paint while i was claying it lol I find acura's paint pretty good, same with bmw and benz even tho they all come with orange peel.

They never "detail" the cars from dealership unless you are getting a Bentley or something.

Anyone need winter tires?
Goodyear Ultra Grip 185/70/14. Used Half season.
My buddy has them in his shop. He purchased them last winter for a customer. They sold or selling the car and somehow he has the tires.

$75 per tire and he might throw in free install/balance.

Huh, I love chemical guys stuff and eshine is only about 20 minutes from me. The only shitty thing about them is their store hours suck. They always give good 'cash' discounts so I hate having to order when I know it would be cheaper going into the store. But they're never open when I'm not working \:\(

Im totally serious I bought an old beige Camry as I knew someone who was selling one. Original owner, low kilometers and great condition. Price was too hard to pass up and I can use it as my "drive it in crappy weather if I buy a 3 season car" or "drive it and not give a fuck where I leave it car"

I get it this weekend as the owner is doing the safety and emissions etc.

WTF is with all the CSI members buying beige Toyotas?????

Jeffos isn't the only one recently

don't laugh, but a friend offered me this, his italian grandfather barely drove it and he lost his licence. no it's not a old taxi cab so it's actually pretty nice inside, has like 30,000km on it for stupid cheap.



it drives like its floating

I most likely will be - I'll know more in the next month or so. I kind of don't want to because it's such an awesome daily driver but I'm thinking of going with a 3 season car potentially plus the Camry of doom for a go train/winter car.

I'm not down the path to really lock it down as it is dependent on a few things but looking at a GT350, corvette C7 or a new gen Cayman S. Really not sure yet however I came across the car (Camry) and the deal is so good I might as well go for it and see if the other steps happen and if not I have a great car to sell, give to someone I know or use it.

I just found it funny as I got the most typical appliance car possible on the road including the amazing beige colour.

Bbbbballllin'



92k Kms V6 EX(something model). Excellent condition, so good it blows my mind haha. Power seat for the driver even.

Has the sweet gold badges which I promptly removed with the exception of the Toyota symbols.

Removed the classy burgundy pin stripe along the side.

Also fixed the ugly Amber part in the tail lights

Before


After



Timing belt just done, new tires, just serviced. For what I payed it's a steal and it drives great. Pretty happy with this one given what I'm going to use it for. It's actually semi quick too with the V6 (for what it is)

Just checked, August 16, 2006, so almost 10 years ago.

From March 13, 2006. There are million dollar houses now where all those trees once were
