Finally my car has passed the 200k mark. I want to open this thread so people who have a "qualified" TLs can post pictures... from the cleanest one to the dirtiest one as long as its still running .. please join and post pictures. Not so many cars out there with this age and this mileage can be seen on the roads.

 

Congrats! I hope mine can make it that far.

 

Stop showing off your working D4 light!

Congrads on the milestone!

 

Car is looking good! Your odometer is working again? How does the car perform with the strut bar? And intake?

 

Thank you guys!!! Im glad that actually someone makes comments on the thread.

Yea the cluster is working again except the tripmeter

The strut bar doesnt do much, actually i dont feel any difference but the intake yes! It improves the gas mileage by 1-1.5 mpg + it gives the car a cool sound (in my opinion) the car make louder sound if you remove the resonator.

 

Just turned 227,000 pics to follow...

 

My ODO stopped working at 279,000, should be well over 300k by now though HEHEH

 

You better post some pics to prove it

 

Will post a pic today, gotta detail it anyway

 

262K and a working d4 light

 

Here you go guys, 279 and it stopped working a while ago..

 

 

Nice .. I wont be there .. maybe ever

 

Im just scratching the surface with this thing.

 

Dang!!! 300k is a real deal.

I switch the working D1 bulb to D4 slot to make it works

 

According to the previous owner the ODO hasnt worked in a long time. I would love to get this one working again instead of getting a new cluster, I really wish I knew how high it was, P.O. claimed he figured it to be 310-320k, but who really knows

 

IIRC, people said that the most common reason makes odometer stop working is because some little tooth/teeth broke down. My tripmeter doesnt work either

 

Neither of mine work, the ODO or the trip, So i assume its wiring or something else stupid, I havent had time to crack it open yet, but I will be soon.

 

Mine was like that for some time, but it has worked ever since I took it out and gave it a few knocks.

 

Yeah ill take it out and knock the piss out of it, maybe it will work. That usually works with American Parts LOL

 

Ill post a picture tommorow, im over 200K runnin strong, need a valve cover gasket and some shocks but overall healthy.

 

Is that on the original transmission also?

 

You know it, original. haha sorry I haven't posted yet, I just lost my job so ive been scrambling :P ill get it on tomorrow hopefully.

 

If you are in Kansas City, I can get you a job

 

Just hit 227,900

 

Nice! Interior looking good! My driver seat all messed up lol .. Is there a way to hide all the holes on the front bumper?

 

Pretty pics...

 

Thanks... If anyone has any ideas on how to fill the holes let me know.

 

i think i hit 342k on my 2.5tl, went thru all the d lights but ended up using the d3 light as my last d light which was still working. that was when i traded her for my RL. it was a very sad day. i loved my 2.5tl. its much more roomier than my rl. very reliable and easy fix. the only thing that was pain in the ass to fix was the alternator. had to drill new holes to mount. failed on me only once.

 

I just hit 260k

 

206.354 will soon pictures, my tl is newly polished pearl white interior and detailed 100 dlls only haha, looks good

 

wanted to ask what kind of light bulbs did you put in your cluster? it looks really good and what type of hood struts? i would definetly like to do those mods

 

I ordered from this site

http://www.v-leds.com/194-168-158-LED/c506139-1-2/

I believe mine were 6k white. Very similar to this, just 1 LED coil longer

Strut bar was from a legend

 

hey 96 TL on a scale of 1 to 10 how hard is it to change out the cluster bulbs?

 

I would say 5/10

Just a few screws + a little tricky to pull the cluster out

Oh, btw, my bulbs were long. I had to cut the crystal plastic pieces inside the cluster to make it fit. (not hard at all)

 

IIRC, 2 screws on top on the cluster, and 2 behind the rubber piece under cluster to take the cluster cover out.

 

The hardest part for me was being very careful trying to not break the vents getting them out.

 

thanks, im definately doin the cluster. and what i meant to ask was about the hood dampers not the strut bar sorry. also the side markers, i was thinkin about gettin the type R integra ones but idk if they are gonna look to small. so wanted to know if those were the integra type R side markers

 

Agree on that! It was a long time ago since last time I touched the cluster. I forgot the cover and the vents are 1 piece!

 

Hood struts are from legend as well

I got the marker off ebay... and I dont think they are for any specific car
