My sc needs a new front bumper + paint since the stock one is cracked.
TL needs to get the side fixed since it got keyed. I also still need to find a chrome 3.2TL grill and repaint the stock rims silver since the stock center caps are peeling. Trying to make it look new again.

I'm glad to hear that you've bought a house! I'm still paying mine off, and the one I'm living in now. I need to find a house in Japan, though, and that's tough, especially since I haven't paid off these, haha. Are you moving to London? If so, the new "Congestion Fee" is BS. 50 quid, IIRC, to go downtown...
~Cheers~

Congestion Fee now is 8 quid per day... 10 if you don't pay it on the day... makes sense though to cut down on the amount of cars here since the streets are smaller... but i don't see NYC adopting this because we depend so much on cars...
i think my next house would be in Queensland, Australia... somewhere on the beach...

I had another friend living in Melbourne, but I'm not sure if he's still living there. Kinda lost touch but he's doing great things, taking after his family. They build orphanages in China and donate them to the temples. Good work for an ex-mobster, haha. It's taking care of him for his next life.

Ship the car over, then, haha. My dad shipped his car when he moved. Anyhow, I think I misunderstood my friend and I think he said it cost him 50 quid a day totally, including Congestion.

and i think it would be badass to have a LHD Legend down there... the only LHD cars i saw in OZ were vettes and mustangs...

^ Yes and yes. The Legend scene is alive and well over there. I've heard Australia is a beautiful place. I'll visit there someday... Can't wait to see Christmas trees and a clear blue sky, haha!

Should be switching back to my regular wood shift soon, but I'm starting to get used to it.

P.S. I dropped and dragged my cold-air the day before yesterday and ruined my Weapon-R filter. The same day I put it back on, I destroy it. All thanks to a missing clamp. I have a huge truck K&N now, that BARELY fits in the space where the stock airbox was, haha.

Projects for the TL
Improve Gas mileage:
Improve Gas mileage:
Improve Gas mileage:
1) Get from current 15.9mpg to spec 22mpg - tune up, plugs, O2 sensor timing belt, etc...
2) improve mpg by 25% - mess with F/A ratio (O2 adapter, ECU signal biasing?)
3) improve total cumulative mpg from 15.9mpg by 40% ++ - drastic methods TBD .
Implemented if and when I can afford it.

This is what I did for my sisters TL to help improve the car and hopefully the mpg.
Flush transmission, check tire pressure, seafoam, new oem air filter, fuel filter, lucus fuel injector cleaning, I also changed the oil while adding in auto-rx to clean out the crap inside the engine, and cleaned the throttle body with seafoam deep creep.
I don't actually know if mpg improved, but she said the car feel like it has much more power and drives great.

I went towards a motorcycle cop yesterday morning doing 60 in a 30 in the Civic. He and the squad car hiding ahead of him both just glanced at me. You know if I were in my car I'd be pulled over immediately, haha.

Just averaged about 22- 23 today. Went from idiot light on for awhile, pumped 4.5 gallons ($4.32/gallon here) and the light started to fade in after mashing it around town racking up 80, almost 90 miles, stuck in traffic alot but had a few trips to 100.
Oh, and I have sticky tyres, so it'd be better with a harder compound. In any case, S-03 FTW!

Bumpity bump.
Summer's almost here again, and I'm reviving this thread for the third year!
I'm still on sticky tires (stickier, even), and
My plans?
Fix the tranny.
Fix the body.
??????
Profit!
~Cheers~
P.S. Oh, and leave the country.

^ Haha! It all depends on what's going to happen in July/August. Whether or not I can leave for good and just come to the US for vacations, or continue living here and go back to Japan for vacations. You have no idea how badly I miss Japan... I even watched a video clip shot during a typhoon because it was at a place really close to where I live and where I walked through every day:
