I would have left the red in, but nothing in the interior is red....

 

Anil, you love these calcs.

So.. since the day I started to work (50miles per day)

In exactly 2 and a half months, I did 5220 miles
and paid $895 for gas, but I see couple fills around $65, guess that was the MDX

 

I have a different calculation...it goes like this.
Fun driving x miles driven = whogivesafuckhowmuchmoney

 

Hey, I skipped the decimal points and cents you knowww!!

 

There's no decimal points in fun......

 

Jeremy you have an 04 with like 80K miles LOL...

05 with 177K miles here....guess who drives more and has more fun and gives less fawk according to your calcs


Meko, start an excel....I like to track my fuel...its like tracking your food intake....I like seeing when/how my cars gets better mileage or when I FEEL the car has more power or WHEN I FEEL the car seems bogging or if I see a CEL because of a particular gas I used....just easier to see/find out when you have logs....better logs = better science, you might have heard that in the movie Avatar


but I did recently do a very cheap mod which made me feel there was more power and a lot more shifting response....will post up something in my thread tomorrow LOL...

 

That's literally impossible to calculate.

In addition, I'm at 102K.

 

well done man....when did you cross 100K? 105K service done yet?

 

Hey man..that's Boston, wow deja vu, I just drove through the big dig an hour ago, Nice vid!

 

Oh hell no Anil, I can't keep a log like that.
Stuff I just listed above is just from random. I was bored, went back to old pictures of speedometer, went to my credit card history and found out.

I can't keep it steady, I say no more flooring, a car passes me, I go

Haha thanks man.
What do you drive? Live around Boston?

These 2 are from a video, but my video setting was in mms mode, so recorded it small but you could still hear it, let me upload that too



it was freezing cold in the morning and r8 has the top down

 

Anil, it's the family that making you drive slow, nothing else. I am kind of starting to see that

 

i only have 93k on my 04

nice, i think you'll like them

 

Not even 100
Damn my car is getting old


aaaaaaaaaand
my first snow indicator of the season

 

Arent those pictures from the back bay? I remember a couple of parking spots being sold for $560,000 this June

http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/...gDJ/story.html

 

we need a thread title change in here....

Meko's bulb progress thread

 

Yes sir, I am still at back bay on Thursday and Fridays
That's insane I didn't know that, they looked like a crappy narrow parking spots, not sure even if they shovel the snow from those public alley roads

 

Yeah Steven, can you do that?

"Meko's Bulb Progress"
Just that and keep it like that
Anil you fool haha

 

Yeah.. I live in Mansfield. I've been driving an 04 WDP MT TL base for 5 years, just picked up a 08 CBP Type S - Plan to sell the WDP in the spiring. Meanwhile, let the CBP mods begin! What part of metro Boston you from?

 

Oh man, you are far away.
Used to live in Fenway, now in Woburn, due to work commute to Westford.

CBP Type-S huh, nice choice.
Going for performance mods mostly?

 

Screw Osram SVS bulbs, MDX can have em

I love them Will
CBIs didn't make this this happy comparing the colors

 

Nice Meko! Although a garage with NO car in it reminds me of people here in Floriduh! Just storage, what?




I cannot wait to have a garage, to park my car in!

 

I can not wait to have my own house haha
It's not storage, what do you call it... umm, mom stuff

She will clear them up hopefully

 

Lights look great Meko...loving the bulb progress in here!

 

Thanks for sharing, Meko.
Take a billion pictures and post.every.single.one. CHECK!

 

 

Starting off w cosmetic mods - lights/suspension/calipers/roof wing/wheels/APEC

I do have a CAISSON on my 04 that I will swap over, but the performance mods will mostly be later. Your car is chill

 

I love the bulbs
I love how it reflects purple on to the speed signs
and how white the output is

SVS is all yellow as seen on the pictures but I am not sure how to compare this to my old CBIs
CBI was bright but this one pulls more attention to look at. I went out of lane 2 times this evening while watching the hids


Was expensive but worth it. Dad loved it too, perfect white




BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My left hid flickers at first seconds, not sure why. Took a video, will update

Never ends
Yours look great too, don't change it up, never never never

Wish I told Faruk to take off that black nipple in front of the upper fogs. There is a little lens with 1 led behind it that gets hidden

Would look like mini version of yours haha



Ninja for what? What's going on


Hope you will get the easy ones done during winter.
I did most of my mods last winter... no more, not again

 

See it flickers like 3 times at first, then around 0:07 it does it again.
Only left, right is perfect

 

 

Done MEKO!


Great new shots, brother.

 

glad you like the bulbs man, they'll actually get a bit more blue after some burn in time.

 

No new shots Steven
Snow did hit us but just a little here and there.
I don't get it, snows all over New England but Boston
But of course salt all over the road... of course!


Thanks Will, also flicker went away too, comes up sometimes but, not much as before
Happy with the color, same with brightness.
Couldn't see a thing before, can't see a thing now as well

--

No bulb progress haha
Will install RV6 HFPC on Saturday

Dad's friend got fully loaded $57k worth Infiniti JX for $50k
MDX caused them to come that low, he was in between

Dad wants to get rid of MDX.
They aimed at the new Porsche Macan for sure, but then I found out that it's only 2 inch longer than Range Evoque, meaning no enough room for rear seats, made them take it out of the list.

I wanted Q7, they say old.
I say ok F it, New Touareg looks great. Seriously that car is perfect in my head. Kept the old SUV style, I don't know how to explain, I just love how that thing sits and looks.
BUT!!! They say sooo low MPG That's true

Mom says no to the new MDX as well. Same DNA
Range Sport, too expensive and v8
Same with Porsche Cayman

One thing left, X5

Not a fan of X5 but, ok.
Dad said look out for 2013 low mileage ones and let's jump on it.

So, no brand new new new one.
It got uglier anyway, edges got sharper and looks like x3.
Am I wrong?
Interior? We know BMW, all same lol

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1

So yeah looking for x5 now
Oh MPG is same as MDX too, plus 50/50 weight distribution on x5, didn't know that

How is this? 7psgnr too

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...ktype=usedcc#0

That cheap looking classic BMW steering material

 

I had the exact opposite reaction to the bulb swap, Meko. I hated the output and color of the mori's and wasn't happy until I had the CBI. I guess I was "over" the bluish look from having the DDM tuning ones for so many years.

Great update...and having a garage you actually park a car in? Who does that?

 

For a reason that I don't know of, CBIs look way more brighter and perfect white on FX
After seeing the difference, I gave up on them. Why carry it and sacrifice the color as well
I'll get morimoto and it'll at least be the color I want.

I don't know, they had yellow hue on my car. May be orange bezel, maybe blacked out headlights, I don't know...

That picture is perfect

If I clean up my TL, and put it inside the garage, I won't take it out anymore

 

How do I turn my headlights in to this look again?

 

How do they look now?

 

Like scratch, you know how you say black cars haw swirls on them... like that.
I always use a nice clean microfiber to clean them with a invisible glass spray.

If I wax them afterwards, they shine and look black again like in the picture above, but it doesn't stay for a long time

 

Hey J, in this picture do you have spacers on your wheels?
