Automagicians

Anyone that comes to the car rather then dropping it off? Person at my work dinged another persons door.

Last time I went there they gave me an out to lunch quote too... Huge mark up. Got another shop to do the same work for 50%. Guess they are busy at the new shop.

If anyone is looking at the Speed3 for sale at Erinwood Ford, it was mine. Happy to answer any questions.

So I found about 20 holes in my side sill when I removed the side skirt from my Fiesta ST... someone tried to "pull" the damage from riding up on a curb but effed it up.
After shopping around for a body shop I found a gem!

Nu Tech Auto Collision And Glass - Brampton

I spoke to Bill (owner) about getting my Fiesta ST fixed and his quote was actually reasonable compared to any of the shops I visited.
He also was going to fix it the way I envisioned a proper repair to be completed. Grinding, welding in filler, rust inhibitor and rock protection paint.
Let me day this, they did an amazing job and were quick to get it done.

I highly recommend if you need body work or paint work done to check Nu Tech Collision and Glass out. Honest pricing and great service.

I went to one of the sponsors shops to compare... they wanted double the price and did not want to (or could not) weld the holes.

Anyone here ever install the Cp-e intake manifold? I am mocking mine up now to get my cold side intercooler pipe modified. Wondering if there was any tip/tricks.

Is the car sitting for the winter? If it is, I would disconnect the rad and rotate the entire front clip off to the side just to make it easy on yourself

Car is sitting, rather it sit for the winter then become swiss cheese like the other speed6's.

Tried the link but I need to follow first, sent a request. Thanks.

Dear lazyweb,

What are the spring sizes (front and rear) of the stock springs on the gen1 MS3? I've mostly just found the coilover sizes (2.5" ID I believe), but not running coilovers :)

Much obliged!

[pwdunmore]

Just stored my MS6, haven't seen any TM3 plates in a while. Kinda sad.

Its been a long time since I order from corksport but are there prices listed in US or CND?

[G ~ MINI]

They are in USD
Shop around...most if not all turbos are US made or assembled there so even if you going through a Can distributor its coming from same place.
So its price it out convert to can add shipping and taxes and see whats the best deal. Hey man..check Kijiji you never know ... I picked up used corksports lowering springs
