We go, we go ... - Toyota Caldina, 1.5 L, 1995

So we have arrived at this magic figure. A lot has happened in the intervening time. You can read some of this in ProAvto (proavtozurnal.narod.ru), but briefly about everything - below.

More and more often, our machine began to remind us of its potential age. And as soon as she felt that we were forgetting about this, she immediately threw out the "feint" to improve memory. One of them took place right on Semafornaya street. Unexpectedly, the brake pedal became empty and if it were not for the clear reaction of the power steering, the stagnation would not have been avoided. Later, an inspection showed that the pads were worn out "to zero" and the brake cylinder burst. Replacing the pads, I must say, cost us a fairly small amount. A set of rear wheels for two wheels cost 650 rubles. Along the way, we decided to replace the front ones - another 650r. + 250 RUR brake cylinder.
Well, then we had to prepare for the most important event in the life of the car - technical inspection. Although, to tell the truth, we did not really prepare for it. It was purely interesting to see the condition of the car with this age and mileage. But we still changed the tires for winter ones.
I must say, we passed it, and passed with minimal losses. The inspector complained about the frayed seat belt, the same license plate, and a worn ball joint. We bought the latter for 340 rubles. In general, we have successfully passed THAT and now we are proudly driving with a coupon 10.
Well, on October 17 In Krasnoyarsk outside the window there is already +1, and the FIRST SNOW FALLED. And on our dashboard, an oil can lit up. This means winter has come and the oil needs to be changed, which we did. 4 liters of 5W-40 oil cost us 650r.
The battery also had to be replaced. The native Japanese, at 40a / h, which was frankly too much for the next winter, was replaced by the Russian "Titan" at 47a / h. We bought it for 2500r.
Well, in general, everything is within reason. But what should be especially noted in plus is that all the spare parts installed by us are working as expected and the entire resource, which is especially pleasant.
And the snow outside the window is getting stronger. So the new year is coming soon!
See you!
