Had to move the Type S outside to get the mower out and the angle of the sun looked just insane on the MRP paint. That along with newly installed 35% window tint all around and I had to snap some pictures. She is now pushing 6,080 miles. Enjoy!

Looking clean man. That's gotta be one of the lowest mileage UA7s in existence. Any plans for this one? I know the last one was going to stay 100% stock, but we all saw how long that lasted...

OK..so now that you've had it for awhile... are you prepared to change your rather 'hostile' stance/opinion on the 6MT gearbox?

EDIT: pls add tireshine and she will look straight out of the showroom!

oh...Timeless man TIMELESS!

I have no plans for this Type S. I know I don't want to lower it because I did that for a few weeks on the CBP S and couldn't stand the ride. The jpipe is too hard to tell a difference performance wise so I already sold that. So far now it's just the tint and keep her looking new.

Well I'm still stickin to my original thoughts that the manual in the TL is without a doubt the most finnicky manual I have ever owned, but it's manageable. Besides me not liking the clutch and throttle feel, I will say its the most precise feeling gearbox I have driven. It is without a doubt the more fun car to drive out of the two and easily feels more peppy, but I also find myself still liking just kicking back and driving the auto S as well.
As for tire shine, actually IMO using no tire shine gives it that straight out of the factory look I think. Sometimes I like it sometimes I don't. Funny though I don't think there has ever been tire shine on these original bridgestones. They look like they just came off the shelf in the tire shop. I kinda like that lol

That would be awesome, but unfortunately the CBP S has to go. Having two Type S's isn't the smartest financialy, plus I hate having a full garage.

Luckily I have a garage but its barely big enough to fit my car in and squueze by it on the side, no room to work

Anyways, nice car and nice home!

Well typically no your right, buying cars and selling them is probably the worst decision you could do. However, when you make money on them then yes its absolutely financially smart ;-) Believe it or not I made 4 grand on my 06 Corvette Z06. Bought it at the end of winter for 40, sold it at the end of summer for $44.5. So its not just the TL's that I do good with. I only buy cars that are extremely good deals and am willing to travel all over the country to get them as well. I have been to Philly, Dallas, Kansas City, and now Atlanta to get the perfect TL. Some may think its stupid of me, but regardless of the money, I actually really enjoy traveling to get cars. I like making them perfect if they arent already and doing other minor things. So thats my story...again.


Almost forgot though besides the tint, I swapped over the V3 Triton LED's into the MRP Type S. Those are a mod that I wont be selling because they are so bad ass. Still hands down the best aftermarket plug and play LED on the market.

Looks awesome! MRP really does "pop" in the sunlight. I couldn't agree more about leaving it stock. I wouldn't mod it either, its so new and clean.
