Well was a very exciting weekend. RV show was OK, but the ignition started to smoke in the TL on the way back, so we had to call CAA and get it towned to Rainville Auto. Got a loaner for the rest of the weekend and the TL should be ready for pickup tomorrow. It's a '99 Acura TL and we we're having issues with the ignition cutting out when driving, or shut off after starting when releasing the key. We let the problem linger, figuring that it would just stop working, not realising it could actually catch fire! Since my sticker is about to expire on the Xterra, and my new plates haven't arrived, I had to get and put on a new sticker before the 8th, especially since it was nice out today. The fun of detatching a plate that was made "theift-proof". And I get to do it again in a few more weeks, yay!
The Nissan Truck meet went great, 12 trucks + 1 in spirit, so it turned out great! Got a few ideas, and picked some brains for more knowledge...hmm, brains....
Found out you can (finally!) add HD radio support for Pioneer head units. The GEX-P10HD MSRP's for $100.

Also it seems that the S2000 is being discontinued, which will get it's last hurrah with an "Ultimate Edition". It doesn't get any performance upgrades however, and they don't even know if it'll come to North America, but not a big loss for a fancy paint job, interior and rims.

The Miata is getting a facial, to go with the style of the rest of the Mazda line-up this year. Also gets 167hp and some suspension tweaks, and will still come in it's PRHT. We, and I, should be able to see it at the Toronto Autoshow this coming weekend.
Not much for site updates, got the Mx-3 fog light install page done and uploaded, and I'm working on the stereo install for the Xterra. Also check out the used parts listed under the Parts section.
