No floaty steering here; maybe your control arm bushings are gone?

I've used National Tire Wholesale in Burnaby to mount tires and do an alignment. They mounted one of my directional tires backwards and I haven't gone back since.

I've never used them but have heard good things about 21st Century Alignment in Burnaby.

i now know where not to go, thanks. lol

as for the control arm bushings, i think i'll have to agree with you on this. i'll report back once i replace.

any other suggestions for digital alignment is welcome. help a brotha out.

Hi guys. I just got a custom exhaust put on my car but it is too loud for me... Is there anyone that has a stock exhaust that would want to do a trade? The exhaust is still on my car so we can go for a drive and listen if you want.

I saw that. I have a spare set of oem mufflers so I am in the process of having it done. Just wondering if anyone else had it installed for me to hear in person but too late I guess lol. It's happening already.

sounds good, pm me your digits. i'm off for holidays for a week so i'll contact you when i get back.

I acquired forge dv's from a member on here (Thanks Rick). Reading/watching other install dyi's, the problem with these seem to arise from how stiff the silicone tubes are.

QUESTION: since i had the oem dv's venting to the atmosphere before the install, would it be safe to leave out the install of silicone hose for the forge dv's?

I really can't see how it would suck particles into the system as it blows it out from the dv's. +the whoosh on the dv's without the hoses sound pretty aggressive too on the yellow springs

Anyone have any insight as to how much they spent on Walnut Blasting? Encountered some misfiring this week under heavy-ish load. Shouldn't be my plugs or injectors (both were replaced within the last year), but it could be the coil packs.

there's a guy on craigs that does it for $450-$500. stealership chargers $900+

but maybe start with the coil packs first.

BMW of Bellevue in the states is about a 2-3 hour drive. They offer the walnut blasting for $375 usd. When I went back in April after taxes it was $424 usd. Worth the drive to have a dealership do it and it's right by Seattle so I just spent the weekend there. Especially considering I was quoted $1200 cad by a dealer here.
