Are you saying that under car components on 25yr old cars only rust in ontario?
Or did you misread the statement to assume I referred to the frame rails or quarter panels? -

Years ago, during my first visit to touge factory, dave sold me a premium set of battle version tension rods for s13. Butter and Dave assured me that this would be an excellent update, despite all of the work required to make them fit.
Those guys were right.
My opinion on solid/adjustable tension rods: Once you have improved the suspension stiffness of a z31 ,this is the next best mod for handling and braking.
I'm excited to see touge factory supporting the z31 community. Thanks Dave!"produce first.talk second." -

I'm excited about this. I just got a set of the TF adjustable tie rods and they look to be very well-built.
"Red" is a pretty generous description of the color of the pink roll centre adjusters though.
