Richie didn't make me a tip, Meko...but you'll see. Think OEM on steroids that allows the dual entry.
I could think that but we were never able to find one... how did you

I am so happy with it, it's fast and smooth. I mean it grabs and pushes the car so faster
What changed like night and day is the downshifts, it's soo perfect. Feels like smooth as FX

and not perfectly sure because of the exhaust sound but I think that whining noise from the tranny is not there anymore

Farukh just one upped me...
and PS Meko, I thought for sure since the ability to understand him talking would be on par with our ability to understand your writing that there'd be some secret formula there...

Nope
I don't know, can't think of anything else. Thought about tails though... J. knows, but meh, dropped it

I got an oil change coming up this weekend though

Thought about changing the bulbs again, but not sure
Orange door lights may beee but then I said meh, won't match anything
If my inspire fogs were orange instead of greeeen, ok but can't even trust to try yellow HID bulbs now...

I was thinking of doing the tails like this.
Buy the smoked one on blackmarket (currenty someone is selling)

Black bezel
Smoked brakelight/parking light
Orange reflector
Orange sidemarker (orange tint, since don't think there is orange spray like yellow ones)

That's it... clear glass

Leme upload couple pics

Didn't know that
That's nice, I would want a second car something like that too or Hummer. I don't know my mind works like that in states. Big roads, too much snow, cheap gas, American car nice and simple...why not

Okay I'm late to the party, not even fashionably late.

I missed you taking the coils out.

Car still looks pretty good though.

And by your video I assume you got the trans fixed?
