Sounds good, you have the same temp swings this time of year as I do, so I'll go with that.

So, what would you guy suggest for a 3AC with 125K Miles on it with noisy lifter on the cold start in the morning. The temps this winter have been dropping to -20C but have been as warm as +10C...

Any suggestions would be great!

i think you are confused, sir :) 300,000 KILOMETERS is around 190,000 MILES I've recently hit the 200,000 kilometer mark which is about 125,000 miles. The motor runs really well for the most part.

Yeah, I was gonna ask you, what lift are you using? and what is up with the rear turn signals are they clear?

A final thought - to get an approx 30% increase in headlight output without any headlight conversion, you can just go out and buy a pair of GE NightHawk bulbs or sealed beams, which will eventually burn out and have to be replaced. The wiring harness upgrade does the same or better, and doesn't 'bu...

I always wanted on of those...

You think she would make the drive cross county to Ontario, Canada?

I'd check for leaks, do a cooling system flush. If that does not fix your problem and your car warms up properly, then your heater core is clogged.

It is, I used to run a PIAA upgrade harness on my 87 Corolla GT-S, I measured similar gains in output. Plus, I ran Osram H4 80/100w bulbs. Passengers in my car would comment that it looked like daylight in front of my car at night on the highway, and that was on low beam! I would then switch to high...
