mileage rollback
found this on a newsgroup... this really works!! rolled back my mileage from 33652 to 33102.. got dizzy after 5 rotations and people were looking at me funny 
Simple way to roll back the odometer on 99-03 TLs w/o being detected:
-On an open parking lot (flat surface)
a. Turn steering wheel to full lock left
b. start car , go forward in 3 complete rotations.
c. turn off ingitiion. Wait a full 60 seconds and restart
d. leaving wheel at full lock left, engage R and back up 5 complete rotations (slowly). This engages the roll back function.
e. Continue in reverse: After this point every full 360 rotation will remove app. 110 miles from the odometer. Be advised: the odometer will not display the reduction yet...
f. To reveal/display the rolled back odometer reading the car must be driven forward for at least 5 continuous miles.

Can you picture 15-20 of us all out in parking lots doing this, spinning in circles for half an hour.

OMFG! Guys, did you even try it before you assumed it was a joke????Listen, my TL-S has or had 13,945 miles. On a whim, before lunch, I drove to the 8th floor of my parking garage. I followed the steps but only did one circle as to not look like a freaking idiot. I turned off my engine, turned it back on: nothing so far. I went to lunch (about 7 mile trip to Torrance) and when I turned on the ignition, guess what my odometer showed!!!
I don' t know how to upload pics now but here is a link to the odometer:

So what do you have to say to that!!!! :bowdown:
