Anyone here have BC coilovers on their Pcar? It's tempting. I have H&R lowering springs on atm, and the ride seems a little stiff. That could also be attributed to the tires being low profiles, but I feel like the coilovers would help with the quality of the ride.

Hello, I'm an enthusiast too. I'm also part of Nord Stern. New Pcar owner on top of that. Haven't even had my car for 6 months, and now she's pretty much in storage mode.

It's a 2005 base model. I filled the tank up and added some Sta-bil fuel additive. I have a trickle charger, and I'm going to cover the car up. Other than that, not much. It's clean, but I can at least go play in my garage whenever I feel like it.

Yeah, that's always tough to walk away for a long time and worry about it. I was going to use leather conditioner. I have also read and tried leaving dryer sheets inside the car and engine bay to deter mice. I don't have mice problems, but one year I experimented. However, I do buy hedge ***** (produce section) and lay them on the floor in the garage to keep out any potential unwanted guests.

I'll have to try that. It's probably better than a rotting hedgeball anyway.

Well, let's hope for the best with those cotton *****. I didn't know how much oil to use or how many *****, so I placed a few drops on each ball and then left one in the frunk and the other inside the car.

Default Cotton *****

I just take a handful and put in a ziplock baggie pour about half a little bottle and squish them in the bag and take out put them in a plastic cup like 4 for inside. I also put some in the engine and trunk any where else those critters would like to gnaw on wires. I also run a radio 24/7 its an old barn trick the mice seem to think there are people in the garage so they move on. Good Luck!

Ah, so that's the trick. I'll have to try the music part since I keep an old iPod out there.

I'll add some more cotton *****, too. I should put a couple in the engine bay.
