1) Hey all, im looking around for places that do rust proofing for my 09 lancer. I will definitely need one when i go back up north for school.
Can someone give me a place where you've had a good experience with?

2) And another question, would you guys suggest a block heater or a oil pan heater?

3) I'm having a hard time finding winter tires for the stock 09 GTS lancers, what companies offer a winter tire for ours?

 

as for winter tires, i've got the winterforce and they are excellent for grip, i havnt had any sort of understeer/oversteer(unless i induced it =P) while driving even when it was snow really hard like 5in+ on the ground
other than the firestone winterforce i'd also recommend the Michelin winter tires 4got what they were called (Pilot???, blizztech??) if you're lucky the michelin X-ICE but i beleive they stopped making those.

and blockheater as well as oilpan heaters arent needed..you'll be fine if you switch to synthetic oil

 

^I believe you were thinking blizzaks

 

blizztech.. I like that lol... yes blizzaks and they had the x ice II's last year, probably they'll have the x ice III's this year.

 

I just have Goodyear Nordic tires LOL they were cheap and do the job kinda (I did slip on black ice and crash last year but then again I was speeding around a corner so it was kinda my own stupid fault haha)

 

have rust proofing and undercoat done at the dealer..

 

^ Dealer is expensive. Try krown http://www.krown.com/ I think some even do club sponsors / discounts.

 

^^WOW sweet, krown only charges 109$ dealer was 1200$ LOL stealership

i got mine booked for tommorrow!

 

^ make sure you dont park on your driveway or if u do get some cardboard boxes to put under when it drips. Its a pain in th *** to get rid of the oil stains.

If you plan on parking in the street becareful about getting a ticket. A guy on another board got a ticket for leaking oil into the street .

If you dont mind tomorrow can you ask them about club specials ? Maybe set one up for more members on here.

 

sure, i can do that man.

 

did mine at krown will go back again but make sure if you have an intake protect the filter >>

 

FYI, Krown Lakeshore is a sponsor on TorontoMazda3 and has a special of $90 for rust proofing

 

^ and i think TOP, from there feedback thread it seems they do very good work.

 

krown in hamilton does not do any specials with any sort of clubs. I think it might be only the ones in toronto
