    Stock. Does the remote start system count as entertainment???

    Where exactly is the Krown applied? My apologies if you’ve covered this already, just point to the post where you mentioned it.
    They spray all the steel body under the hood. Inside the hood, along the rad support & inner fenders, strut mount areas etc. They don't spray the engine, but it does get some overspray. They drill holes in the doors, pillars & rockers to get to the inside of cavities then plug the holes with rubber plugs after, as well as inside the frame etc under the car. As DS mentioned it creeps better in the summer. It will drip as it is a light oil product, not a grease as some of the "dripless" products can be. https://youtu.be/WgvL40QefZ0 if anyone is interested in a video...


    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    klroger explained krown way better than I ever could. I think you could even hop over the border and get your Mirage oiled. Why not?

    Just not vice versa at the moment I heard krown dealers are harder to find in the USA. In the old days you could practically take a street car from Toronto to Buffalo.

    Changed the Oil & Filter on the weekend & installed the snow tires in prep for another winter I had a close look under the Pumpkin & thanks to the Krown, I see no sign of rust yet after 3 nasty Eastern Ontario salty winters... Name:  frame.jpg

    64600 KM. Replaced the front brake pads & rotors yesterday. When I put the winter tires on I noticed they were at the end of their life. I went with Eurorotor coated rotors & Ceramic (?) pads. The pads just looked like normal ones & the braking doesn't feel any different, but I'll see how they hold up...


    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything
