Looks good E/A!

 

Looks great....I just turned over 170K miles

gotta love people who drive their cars and not just garage it

 

Where did you get it installed?

 

Steven Bell, thank you.

swoosh ,can't seem to catch up to you. Cars were built to be driven. I plan on driving this one to the ground....lol

Lukieluc, my windshield was installed by Dublin Glass telf. (973) 373 9474 .
If you are within range they will come to you. They do a perfect job every time.(They are the glass people, the Acura dealer in Springfield deals with ,when people can't afford the $700 OEM windshield. They do a good job every time.)

Mileage update: 146,069 miles

 

loooks good man keep it up drive it to the ground! i have 96k on mine. Getting there sooner or later

 

Recon_45,thank you. Congrats on your 96k,enjoy it .That's what its all about.

Almost forgot this shot (was hard to get it while driving)



At this point I had already traveled 75 miles on this tank. It got up to 403miles range but those shots are really blurry.


Mileage update: 146,089 miles

 

Wow!

 

I love the Type S

 

hahah nice....

when I was driving down to Texas....I averaged 33mpg and got around 480miles to the tank....I should have taken a shot when I filled her up

man, these cars are solid built...the engine is perfect....the transmissions has its share of issues but if you take care of it, its nice....has decent power....gas mileage is nice....what else could you ask for?

 

I must have missed something...How do you get that "Range" feedback from the computer...?

Great job on all you are doing to keep her upright and between the lines...

WhatFurrer

 

Steven Bell,BlackoutTL and swoosh thank you guys.
Wow 480 miles that's nice ,I wish. 450 miles in a tank here I come

WhatFurrer,thank you. The answer to your question is simple: find trip display press enter ,once in press the down botton. You should get the range(which is just an estimate from the computer not accurate at all).

R32

 

Dude.......

 

haha I was almost gonna make a video for you yesterday when I was driving from KC to Chicago (550-600 miles)....

was with the chicago crew and we were doing runs on the highway, going 90+ through out and I still got 425 from the tank LOL....if I was crusing in at 75-80-ish...easy 450-500 miles

 

^^^^ Wow, amazing!

 

Took this picture at the last Garden State Parkway rest stop(before NY),Can't really see it but every car in this shot as plates from all different states. Weird.

CLtotheTL32,i think that VW is somewhat decent looking .
Steven Bell lol.
swoosh, dam over 90 and still getting 425,whats your secret?
Sounds like it was a nice trip.

Mileage update: 147,001 miles

 

 

I boiled it down to Sams gas LOL

I have been monitoring my AFR....since my car is not tuned when I am below 75 and above 85 my AFR is on the lean side (14.9-15.2) which is good for gas mileage....

on the other hand, when am going between 75 and 85...my AFR gets rich (13.9-14.3) and hence lower gas mileage....

i need a tune BAD !!!

 

Car looks so good!

 

swoosh, dam you check your AFR.cool,i probably should look into that.To be honest with you I'm pretty happy with the way the car is operating now.

mr_grand_prix, thank you sir.

Every update should have an image

I have been doing a lot of highway driving and will post things in my thread since i dont wanna hijack your thread buddy....

 

swoosh,i will try to post more pics. My car is always so dirty. Dude you can totally hijack my thread.

Anyone out there having oil leak issues ?

Look at the temperature outside.

 

Congrats on the 104 degrees!

 

Where is the oil leaking from buddy?

104 is toasty....recently I saw 102 on my dash and 111 relocated IAT temps....

 

Steven Bell, too hot for me. I'm a 80's kind of guy.

swoosh, oil leaks around the area where the oil pump/ oil filter housing is. It's really hard to tell, i have used dye in the oil and still kind figure it out.
To me there is 3 main suspects:
-oil pump
-crank shaft seal
-oil filter housing gaskets

I have already changed and reseal the oil pan.
Just wondering if anyone has this problem?

Mileage update: 148,712 miles

 

Yea, me too! I'm getting too old for 100+ degree weather.


I need to move down to where Jeremy is-where it's even MORE humid than KC.

 

tell me about it....born in 83 and love 80's weather and recently I have been listening to classic rock (80's rock)....guess am getting old

but yeah, I would get under there, spray some degreaser and wipe the area down....check every couple days to see where exactly the leak is coming from....I have seen a TL where the oil filter housing was leaking....we did not replace it but we wiped it down left it to see if it leaks again and so far no leaks....so maybe in your case its the same and some oil might have "splashed" while you were working on something else

 

Steven Bell, true that. For me anything above 80 is just too hot.

swoosh, yeah I'm suspecting the oil filter housing too. Just ordered one O-ring and 2 gaskets from the bottom picture(11,13,26).






all washed up





Mileage update: 148,915 miles

 

Looks good bro!!!
I had same leak on my TL a year ago. It turned out to be oil pump seal. F&$k that was a lot of work! I hope yours is just filter housing seal.

 

Great looking car real clean

 

buddy I hope it ends up being one of the gaskets and you end up fixing it
