Careful, snow tires on bare pavement don't last long at all.

True, but they last just fine when it is below 7*C. Was 1*C this morning.

Our mountains are seeing snow, and if I were to drive for an hour or so.....

i drove through bc once. i loved all the tree you have but i couldnt handle all the snow

You aren't all that far off from us, we get down into the 30s(2-3*C) every few days or so at night. Still gets decently warm throughout the day though.

That's why I live in Vancouver; hardly any snow, just cold 'n wet in the winter. Drive a few hours in any direction and you have snow.

Did the "02NavyBlue" power steering cap upgrade.

It was easy, but there was little info on how to do so when I did it. Next time it comes off will take no time at all.

Found this ZZP tranny pan on Kijiji last week.....







As other members suggested, I will put a heli-coil in the drain plug so it doesn't strip on me.

Today I ordered wheel spacers and some LED fog lights.

Installed my TRS headlight harness for the retrofits. Been well over a year since the retros were installed, so it's good to have have hi-beams again!

Low beams:









Hi beams:

Installed some 25mm hub-centric wheel spacers.....





















Looks so much better now. Hopefully there is no rubbing; doesn't appear that there should be.

This is sticking a magnet on the end of your power steering cap. http://chrisb.users.superford.org/Gr...ap_Magnet.html

Also what gains do you get from wheel spacers besides looks?

Looks, that is it. I guess you could argue performance, as you are 2" wider.

Found some time to move forward on project "LED Fog Lights". I did the same thing with my current Piaa 510 fogs; I take stock fog housings and mate them to the aftermarket light. This moves the lens forward about 2", so the lights look better on the car, and you get a wider light pattern. I also gave these lights an 880 plug, so they can connect to the stock wiring.

Morimito XB LED lights for the 2008-2010 G6/G8:

















Junkyard lights:





Remove the lenses, the metal light shields then clean up the cut edges of the lens:







Remove the screws and bracket from the back of the light, and cut off the 5202 plug:







Cut off the mounting tabs:





Apply glue to the back of the light and the inside of the housing and stick 'em together:







Once the glue is set, solder the LED wires to an 880 bulb base:







All done and ready to go on the car:










The rain is coming for the next few days, so it will be a few days before I can install them.

Led foglight the new fad.. Looks good

Thanks Red. Can't wait to get them on and see if they are better than the current HID set-up.

I thought about going the led route myself but ehh for the price plus the performance they still can't beat a hid foglight projector but they're still better then just the standard hid in a reflector setup and no need for anything extra like bulbs or ballast.
