What kind of car? On the drive axles?

Honestly I don't think it matters very much, unless you do a lot of peeling off and hard cornering.. that's where the definition of "beater" comes into play. I have to say I am harder on my beaters than on my daily cars.

Looking for a nintendo switch has anyone come across any in stores?
(I know its a very hot item right now and mostly sold out everywhere but there might be some new ones out there already. Been calling every store and every location within a 100km radius, thought I'd ask RS too)

yes. if it's fwd, move the non-matching tire to the back and you kinda want it to have a similar tread pattern, especially if the other tires are rotational

2000 Corolla, rear passenger tire. Luckily not the front, currently on the spare tire atm.

Depending on size 15/16 inches tires aren't that much when they go on sale.. it would be worth while just get the pair changed.

What do you guys think of the new Cruze diesel? New version gets a 6-speed. Obviously, VW is out of the diesel game for the forseeable future. Any other players? Don't want a CVT/Auto, so that leaves pretty much all the hybrids out (except the CR-Z). EV not an option because I have no charging option at home or work.

I'm driving 35,000 km/year, 90% highway, and my BMW is starting to close in on 200,000 km and is costing me around $4500/year in fuel (91 octane). Starting to think it might be a good idea to pass it on to le fiance (who does like 15,000 km/year) and trade her Versa in on a new car for moi.

Anyone got a recommendation to a company or person that cuts down trees?
only need 1 tree chopped down and they wont need to dispose of it, just chops it down and into pieces.

Did revscene get any promo codes for discounted Vancouver International Auto Show tickets this year?

Does anyone know of any active promo codes?

Muchas gracias

Overnight crash in Burnaby kills 2, shuts down part of Canada Way - British Columbia - CBC News


Fatal crash on Canada way early this morning, looks like an old Impreza judging by the wheels.

Have you looked at the BMW 335d diesel since you currently drive BMW?

I want to remove a programmable timer from a circuit. It's supposed to control the fan in the bathroom. There are 3 wires that connect to the timer: Load (Blue), Line (Black), Neutral (White).

I've found the corresponding breaker switch. Physically removing the timer is easy. Do I need to connect the existing wires? Which ones? Should I just leave it?

Is the timer switch the sole control for the fan? or is there another bypass on/off? And assuming it's 120V at home? Wish you had a pic lol

If it's the only switch for the fan, just remove it and install a single pole switch between the blue (load) and black (line/supply) wires.
The neutral should just be there to complete the circuit to allow the timer electronics to operate, you would just cap it off with a wire nut.
If you straight up connect the blue and black wires your fan would be on 24/7 lol.
