Apologies to the board users, but I couldn't connnect to Anthony's e-mail.

Hey Anthony! That's right I'm a 2 minute walk to Fortinos at Jane and Mj. Mac. Checked out your website, you did a great job on your Dak and sound system.

Did you upgrade your front rotors yet? I'm getting a weak puslation when I brake. Guys at Colombo said it's normal but it's pissing me off.
Guys on this board telling me its the OEM rotors tendency to warp. I beleive them. I'm trying to get powerslots and raybestos and so far it's Crappy Tire at Dufferin/Finch that can deliver for me. 173+Screw me ea. for the rotors and 90+tx for the Raybestos PG plus's.

Ciao!

Gus,

Those prices are close to what you would pay if you were to order from the USA. The duties and taxes are fine, it's the brokerage that's killer.

Put it this way, at least you'll get CT $$$ back for other things (waxes, polishes, chamois).

You friend in Brampton...

Have you tried pricing from speedtweaks canada? I know they have powerslots, but don't know on pads.

Holy Sh!t Gus, That's one way of getting my attention. LOL!!! My email doesn't work, I better look into it.

Gus I have 30,000 kms on my 2000 Dak mostly highway K's, the rotor are really driving me crazy I get the pulsing too. The pad are like brand new. Man those prices for those rotors are crazy, that bull.
Colombo is a not bad dealer, but stay away from Sevenview pure butchers.

Keep me posted on which rotors you get, if you need them install let me know because I know a good mechanic in Maple. CS Motorsports

Oh one more thing Italy is going to KICK some A$$.

Later,

Hey Anthony!

So I'm not alone with the rotors crapping out...

I ordered the power slots and raybestos PG plus pads through Crappy Tire in Woodbridge, I hope they come through. For 500 bucks they f'ing better. I couldn't wait anymore. I'm glad I ordered them, they should be in hopefully by Friday so I can install them over the weekend. I checked the service manual and it doesn't look that difficult. Looks like I don't have to bleed the brake system. If I chicken out for the install I might need that hook-up with the mechanic you know. The new rotors should look sweet shinning through my R/T rims, but more importantly no more of the freaking pulse at the wheel. I installed fresh 3923's last night before the Leaf game and she purs at idle and roars like a poutana on a Sat. night!

That's right bro, AZZURI all the way!

Hey Derrick!

I was thinking of doing my floors too... bedrooms upstairs. Weston Floors quoted me $4.25 sq foot for parquet finished 2 coats urathane. Cheapest price I could find, but they are so damn busy! Strip floors, man that's out of my league, plus got to think of more truck mods, priorities!

Anthony you know any better hook-ups? You got to have a relative in the construction biz your Italiano! LOL ! Hey since I 'm Greek everybody thinks all I eat is Feta and souvlaki, suck and soccer and run a resturant... unfortunately for me it's true! And Gyros is pronounced Y-ee-ros not J-i-ros! Please guys, refrain with the Greek jokes however tempting it may be....

Gus man where did you get the 3923's from??, I've been looking around I can't find them. It's time for new plugs.

Guys I got the hook ups I work for a builder that builds custom homes. I'll see what I can do. We use the good stuff, 3/4" strip hardwood and it comes with 8 coats of protection. Let me know about anything else plumbing, electrical, roofers etc.etc.

Gus I thought you were a WOP!?!?! LOL!!!!

Ciao Boyz,

Anthony,

How many 3923's do you need, 6 or 8? I'll get them for you and you can meet me at Timmy's [410/Queen (Hwy 7) in Brampton].

If you can get me a great deal, these plugs are on me ;) Let me know the cost per sq foot.

Thanks guys,

Just as an option,I bought my 3923's at Redfern Automotive Parts Phone: (416)787-2471 100 Bridgeland Ave, (Dufferin and Yorkdale), $28.
If you plan on going to Yorkdale Mall give them a call and they can get them to you within 2 hours. I bought mine this past Monday, called at 10am and picked them up at lunch, I work up the street at Dufferin and Steeles. If you go with Derrick have no worries, Derrick is A1 and comes through when you need him.

Anthony: ya man if you can hook me up for flooring too that would be great!

People say I look and act like a WOP! Greco/Italiano,back in High School we were the same Ginos driving IROCs and GTAs listening to Stevie B's Spring Love! Sh$t man I still do, but now I do it in a Dak! LOL
"la stessa faccia, la stessa raccia" same face, same race, heard that one before, everytime I go for furniture, the Italian salesman tells me that to close the deal even though he hates my guts! Probably tells that to the Pork Chops (Portoguese)too, I love it! LOL

Gus,

Did you replace your plugs again? Man, you must do alot of driving! Thanks for the complement.

Spring Love...Holy $hit! I used to love that song too but I'm filipino, one of the very few that doesn't drive a Honda/Acura.

Anthony,

Whatever is easier for you, let me know.

Later boys

Only sh!t, remember all the gino tunes one of my favorite was little suzy, Take me in your arms. I still listen to freestyle once in awhile.

$28.00 for 8 plugs, how come so much??? Aren't these the basic copper tip ones??? Or did you get platinum.

I'll let you guys know what's happening with the hardwood tommorrow.

Later Guys,
Anthony
