hi everyone, i am from the GTA, and recently got the bad idea of adding a remote starter to the car. before even attempting such a thing, i am doing some...
I checked a couple of months back with Future Shop and Radio Shack here in Vancouver, BC. There is a module that they are charging $130.00 that will work with...
Hello Save your time and some frustration and get it professionally installed by a reputable installer. Check out the forums at www.clubel.ca and ask for where...
Hello, Got the Viper 791XV with the Responder Remote wtih Remote starter on my old car. There was another guy at Visions who had it installed on his 2001...
Yes, the 2004 EL tail lights will fit the 2001, 2002, 2003 according to Acura Lougheed, Coquitlam, BC. lc_cru4life <lc_cru4life@...> wrote: Would anyone...
The tailights from the 2004+ models will not fit the 2001-2003 ELs though. They are slightly different and would require swapping over to a 2004+ EL trunk to...
Thanks for the update. That would be an expensive upgrade then. Had the 2004 front bumper and signal & fog lights installed on the 2002 EL back in Feb04. It...
Hello, I have a 2002 1.7EL Touring, and like many of you with this generation of EL, have found the standard Firestone FR690s to be more than a bit wanting in...
I got four Dunlop SP Sport A2s for my 2002 in March. They are a whole world better than the Firestone! I too live in Toronto and travel the Gardiner, 427,...
I myself changed over to Yokohama Avid H4s tires (which have replaced the Avid H4 line). These tires are great. They are unidirectional, grip excellently in...
If you do most of your driving within the city, a good set of all-seasons should get you through fine. Snow tires will definitely offer better grip and...
Yes, that may be true that you can generally get by with all-seasons in the city. However, what about the guy in front, beside and behind you? You can't ...
Good comments. I've played the winter tire / all-season tire scenario in my head for years and have always decided on all-seasons. Mainly economic reasons...
Ive had the goodyear tripletreads for about 1 month (size 195/60/15, i think), and there is a world of difference. It's an all-season tire. Increase in grip,...
Well said. Since driving winters, I don't think I would ever go back to all-seasons for four seasons. There is just too many advantages to winter tires. ...
Aside from the obvious snow/ice traction, winter tire compound remains softer and more pliable when temperatures dip. So even though there may not be snow or...
Very true indeed! One day a couple of winters ago, we had a snowstorm, which I didn't think was very bad...maybe it was because I was driving on winter ...
I'm sure there are people who think buying winter tires does not make "economic sense", yet they've spent thousands on a big ass wing spoiler, fog lamps, body...
I think alot of the problems people run into with accidents in winter are more often than not caused by people that are not driving based on weather ...
Fascinating discussion. What I've found with the lower priced snowtires is that they are better than all seasons in the snow and ice. But in the dry winters...
I replaced the lame Firestone FR690's with a great set of Falken ZX512's. What a difference!!! I got the tires from http://www.tiretrends.com/. 205/60R15 91H...
That's true. But at the same time, what if some car in front of you loses control and is headed in your direction. With poor tires, no matter how prepared or...
Even without thinking of winter tires, the first and foremost upgrade when you want to improve your car's performance IS the tires, granted you don't already...
Most good/premium winter tires will function well on dry pavement as well, like your Pirelli 210. I also recommend Michelin Arctic Alpin. I liked my Arctic...
That's great participation in the discussion. I also like/use and recommend the Michelin Artic Alpin. klam1277 <klam1277@...> wrote: Most good/premium...
A friend of mine has used Arctic Alpins for the last several years and he swears by them. They are a bit noisy in the dry and whine a bit in the wet, but there...
Checked with Costco in Richmond, BC; the Michelin Pilot Arctic Alpin H-rated is cheaper by $5 compared to the X-Ice ST-rated. I will just get the Pilot Arctic...
