I have so much work to be done on my car when I come back, sometimes I hold back on buying something thinking about the money I'm going to have to spend on fixing my car in Toronto..

- Steering Rack is leaking.
- One brake caliper is ceased open, and the other needs to be changed anyways.
- Two new brake rotors
- New clutch
- Speedometer cable
- Catalytic Converter
- Muffler

God damn! it's even more than I thought it was now that i wrote it down

Geez that has to suck. Hopefully though, once all that's taken care of, you won't have to worry about it for a good while again.

That last actually isnt so bad... leaking rack and the clutch are just going to be the toughest.

Believe me when I say I'm not looking forward to coming back to Toronto... And it's unfortunate cause I really miss driving my car, but I know I'm not going to be happy driving with all these problems...

Maybe it's time to sell the car! I keep getting these big problems with the car and I always fix them, I'm seriously tired of it.. It takes the fun of doing up a car away, you always save money to upgrade something on the car but then the car reminds you that it's 13 years old and that it needs fixing!!

Can't you grab some parts from the Mid East?

Like what! A clutch, speedometer cable, steering rack? I don't think that would work.. PLus I still haven't even seen the specs of these cars, I don't even know if they have 4-AFE or 4-AGE

Well! Your engine is different from mine too Mr.Sinister, but thanks for the offer...

I just remembered, I also need a new head unit since my shitty Sony X-plode is skipping like a broken record.

I also need new 6x9 rear speakers because the ones I have dried up big time and are about to crack..
