Hi! Going to try and make it, but only 50/50. If you need gas, Esso at 165 St and 87 Ave ran out of regular so the supreme is 87.9 there. Dave

Hi! I keep forgetting to check back here because I haven't gone down to look at my car in a while. Anyways, it seems like the consensus is get a new battery. So the next questions would be what brand/model should I go with, where is a good place to get it (I'm in Edmonton), and do you think I...

Hi! It's been a long time since I've been on this board and a long time since I drove my car. I have a 2001 NSX-T that has been sitting for a while. I only managed to drive it less than 1000km last 2 years. The battery is mostly dead now. I went down to the garage and the indoor lights...

Hi! Yeah I've been to their site many times. I've not contacted them, but I will do so shortly. I hadn't planned to do any FI action until the winter time, but if the price is right, I'd be happy to do something sooner than later. Dave P.S. You can post links here no problem.

Hi! Does he come to your town to do an install? I'm in Edmonton and was looking at getting a turbo installed. I was in Vegas, but got no love from factor x so was thinking of lovefab at some point. Maybe we can swing a deal for 2!! Dave

I had lots of replies from Canadians when I put up my car last year, but they were all lowballers. I think the best offer I got was for $60k CAD for my '01. I would still put it up here on prime and make it clear in the listing that you have imported a US car to Canada, but that it has now...

Your paper probably says that the car is a five seater. It is not so you don't have to worry about the infant restraints. Not sure about the French label, but they probably won't care that much when you go to inspection. I had my front lights wired to pop up with ignition. After the...

Hi! Well, I'm a little pissed off with Mike at Factor X. I was in Las Vegas from May 24-27 and I had wanted to see their facilities and cars. I had PM'd them my intentions a month before my trip there and followed up subsequently with 2 additional PMs. I called the Friday before I showed up...

Hi! I had a great buying experience with these 2 sellers. I've been on ebay since 1999 and have done well over 500 transactions there and these guys made my transactions with them seamless and easy. I am in Canada so Erick sent his goods to RJ. RJ took all the goods and packed and shipped...

Hi! I just took the car out today for a couple of short rides. What a blast, and the looks that you get from everybody driving around a clean red sports car in the dead of winter in Edmonton are priceless. I was wondering if anybody wanted to cruise for a short bit sometime this weekend...

Hi! I was wondering about potential damage to my summer rubber. I've got new Michelin Pilot Sport OEM sized tires on the car. I'm not planning on driving aggressively or accelerating hard. I'm thinking of reinstating insurance for the long weekend because the forecast is calling for no...

What are the headlights on the second gray car? Is that some kind of conversion kit that you can buy?

Wow, looking at these posts, I'm seriously wondering if they are accurate? If you go with a '91 and you have to do 10-15-20k of regular maintenance to keep it up to date, wouldn't you be better off with a '97+ car? Granted, I've only driven my '01 about 2000 miles this year, but since I had my...

Thanks for the replies. I will see about test driving the car. I have had a non power assisted car before, so I know what the feel is like. With regards to the 5 sp. if you are doing regular driving acceleration, do you still feel like you are missing something?

Scorp has it. I actually own the '01 without bank assistance, but I find it difficult to have 2x the money tied up in a car that doesn't get driven that much. If there's not that much difference between the 2 models, I can see myself keeping a lower valued car.

Hi! I've seen lots of people wanting to go the newer '97+ cars, but I was wondering if anybody has gone backwards? I've got a 2001 that I've been trying to sell for a while, and I just recently got an interesting proposal. He is the owner of a '92 NSX who would be interested in trading cars +...

And maybe not even that. There's a guy I know in Edmonton wanting to sell his '95 with 37,000 km for $70K, and that doesn't sound unreasonable. I don't think you can rightfully compare a Canadian car to a US car. There are a lot less Canadian cars out there, and the people who bought the car...

Hi! How about an '02 conversion kit. GT-rom.net has one I think. I'm not sure what wide body kits there are that might be suitable for a group buy, but I'd be interested in a complete headlight/widebody update.

Geez beat me to it. Good for you.

It seems the new age fear propagandists have done their work well. I hope you take Ben Franklin's words to heart... <i>They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. </i> Benjamin Franklin.

Hi! HST is harmonized sales tax in some or all of the Atlantic provinces.

Hi! Tony, what province are you located in? Anybody else have anything to add? I was doing this for my curiosity, but it might be valuable information for somebody wanting to buy a car and is unsure what taxes are payable.

Hi! Got a call yesterday. Sorry, but I forgot who it was.... Anyways, I'd be up for an Edmonton one, but I figure I wouldn't have any time to drive to Sylvan Lake for a day. Dave

Hi! I've been trying to sell my NSX and have had this issue come up several times. I've had seven inquiries from across Canada this week, but it seems that each province may have its own application of sales tax for a private used car sale. Can you any of you members from other provinces...

The ad on prime says that it is a US based car. I brought it up last year. There are no outstanding maintenance issues. I had it fully inspected again in May this year and it had no problems at all. It went in the autotrader today at $70K, and I got a couple of feelers from Calgary so we'll...
