    Do you smell coolant around your car?/ warranty / bad mechanics ? DIY

    Yep same thing for me since new. Definite coolant smell when returning to the garage after a drive. Been checked 2 times a 2 different dealers and they can't find any leaks. Car now has 10,000 km on it since May 2018 and the level in the coolant tank is the same.

    Will 245/40-18 fit AWD all around on stock rims?

    I just put 245/40/18's tonight and they fit with 1/2 cm clearance to the strut. BUT these were 18x8.5 rims. I'm not sure how the 8.0 inch rim will affect the sidewall bulge?? There was no problem with rotational clearance at all.

    Winter set up 18x8.5 with 245/40/18

    Got some Evo X take offs. Almost brand new Bridgestone WS 80s and the rims are in great shape. Put one on the front to check clearance and everything is good. I was a tad worried as the 245 are a bit wider up front. 8lbs per side lighter to boot. Now I almost want it to snow...

    Tux Mats (winter floor mats)

    $248 Canadian so 25% off for the US customers! I have the Maxpider for my Subaru and the coverage not as great but they fit nice. I believe Maxider makes the Kia winter mats but they were $400 CAD at the dealer.

    Tux Mats (winter floor mats)

    I've had WeatherTechs for years (both the rubber mats and the floor liners) and just tried the Maxpider mats for my Forester. These are by far the best and most extensive coverage. They were also much cheaper than the others. I can't speak durability yet but they look gorgeous (I almost want to...

    Hello from Lethbridge AB Canada

    Yes they seem very good. They've been very upfront with no games. That's why I'm driving 200km to get the car instead of 5km to the local dealer.

    Hello from Lethbridge AB Canada

    Went for a test drive and I was sold. I'm getting a SnowWhite Pearl GT (close to the GT1 spec in the US I believe) will be picking it up in Calgary at the end of the month. I'm thinking about putting on a disguise and going for another test drive to get my fix in the mean time [rockon]
