    I use a magnetic mount that attaches to the vents in the middle of the dash. Works great.

    Local (Ontario) or Canadian EBCM fixers?

    Hi Silver Fox... i recommend contacting the BBA guys in the post above, they may be able to help. However, first I would try BK_Retired's suggestion. I did the same thing he did and it fixed code issues for me. According to my experience with mine over the last 5 years, and reading forums...

    G-Max RS Tires

    Hi MorePower12, I have General G-Max tires on my car. Like you, they were on it when I bought it. Mine are stock size 17/18 G-Max AS-03 models. The previous owner installed them on my car in 2014 I think, and I now have about 23000km on them in total. I should get another 5k out of them for...

    Question about steering column lock

    I installed the LMC5 bypass shortly after getting my car in 2015 and it has worked perfectly since. However, if I had known it could be turned off via the computer, I would have done that instead. LMC5 is a pretty easy job, but the computer method would be easier and safer for sure. Good luck.

    Car Insurance

    I will also recommend Hagerty. Just recently switched my '99 Coupe to Hagerty from the insurance company that I have everything else with. Saved a little bit (at least $50/year) and now I don't have to bother with calling to put insurance on in the spring and removing it in the fall, as...

    Everything electrical stopped working on my passenger door last fall. It turned out to be a lose connection with the connector that you can access via the black accordion rubber connector near the door hinges. I couldn't actually get it out, but just squeezing it, and moving it around fixed...
