A bit too young for kids lol. Car was for my mom, she ended up going for an MDX which goes a hell of a lot more than the highlander.

Damn warranties for rust proofing were too good to pass up in Canada. All rust protection for 10 years no questions asked at any dealership.

That is one slick head. I would love to do a head job on my 850 but time always seems to be the limiting factor. Ill get to it eventually.

Hy Buddies !

Went to the garage. Done this :

When I drive the small kick sensation in the steering column has disappeared to approximately 90 %... I think the steering rack may be replace one of these days. Tie rods, tie rods end are new. Suspension are ok. The bushes on the stabilizer front axle ?

I dive again for the last straight line till June in my degree. I will be hands free in July to continue to bring that machine to LiFe !

Vroum ! Of course ... Manov

Good looking unit, nicely wrapped. Getting freshly machined parts back is always exciting. Glad to see you have something to do now...

How are the strut mounts? If everything else in the suspension has been replaced, it may be time for new struts, mounts, and spring seats.

Truly a thing of beauty! When will you do the job?

I took off my snow tires (last week? time is meaningless) and found that one of my all-season tires had developed dimples on its sidewall. It’s toast, right?
