TigerBrand, Man that Flip key looks great! I since my GS didn't come with the remote key, I need to find out if I can get the remote key from dealer so I can do this same replacement!

Default Almost all new tyres

Ordered 2 new tyres to replace the wintertyres. Also took 2 used ones, as the were far from worn.
Was almost finished when we found a big blister on one of the used ones...

So ordered another two new ones, to be replaced next week..

Well...I replaced my water pump, timing belt, thermostat, cam seals, and crank seal this weekend on the GS. Next week it'll be a full tune up and valve cover gaskets. After that I can dive into the suspension and get these control arms back up to snuff
