Well 18 Months and 18k miles .... Time to say goodbye (LOTS O' PICS)

I have delayed posting this for over a week now and almost feel like I am still driving a loaner and will be getting my car back any day now.. I definatly miss her but am really starting to like her replacement. I am sure there will be some flaming for this but hey I think I can take it.

Well I started out with a 2g as pictured below









80k later it was time to move up to the 3g here are a couple pics from when I did the trade..










A few O' hella stock pics...













First Mods Volks and Tein SS..

















A little more modding ( ASPEC W/ Home depot lip..lol , Lowered Teins and Greddy exhaust...













DYNO!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd-YCYeh6Kc


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrXOJN2bwpw


Pics from my final meet....









Well now comes the trade..!! Sorry for the crappy Cell phone pics






























Well that's my new 2010 AWD w/tech......

Just grabbed a few pics of my Old TL-S back to stock from the dealers website...


















Well thats about it for now I wanted to thank Trew, Elegent Type S, Silva Type S, Mike from ATLP as well as any and all of you that have helped me along the way.. The 4g is now a new blank canvas to mod and while I know many of you do you like the style of the 4g I hope with a little moding I can sway a few of you...


I also wanted to thank everybody at Rick Case for everything. Rick ( Internet sales ) Benny Chahal (General Sales manager) and last but not least Marc Riley (General Manager) has been by far the best sales experience I have ever had I will be back for my next purchase without a doubt 5G?



Seems only fitting to end this with a final mod list of my 3g

08 TL Typse S KBP
Tein SS ~ EDFC ~ Volk Progressiv 19"s~Rays Lugs ~ Nitto INVO ~ RSB ~ ATLP Roof Spoiler ~ Illuminated Door Sills (RED)~ AEM CAI ~ ATLP Quads ~ ATLP 3rd Cat Deleate ~ ATLP J-pipe ....

Dude, the 3G was such a nice car, with a much sportier appeal to it. Oh well, congrats on the new 4G purchase. It heard it's a great car. Enjoy it!
