Only one of the parts came in. And Im still waiting for accompanying parts to come in (should be here today) before installing them.

Hopefully another one should be here this weekend and then another is about 2-3 weeks out

No, there was a delay with a parts supplier for them. No big deal, I wouldnt have time to install it anyway right now. They said they should be shipping this week.

No new pics of the car either. With all the rain on my days off and having to work when its nice out, the car is filthy. As of now it looks like the next time I can wash the car is Tuesday

Yea, we'll see for how much longer though. I had planned to move awhile ago but that fell through. Still looking for a new place. I hope to be out of here by November 1st. Im looking at both apartments and houses. Im leaning towards a house so I can get a larger garage but the market is thin right now

One will have to go. As of now, the car on the chopping block is the CL. If I get an apartment, Im renting a garage. The FR-S will go into that along with my bike. The Civic will be in the process of being built.

Unless of course I can sell the Civic, then the CL goes back to being the daily bitch and the FR-S takes on dedicated weekend duties.

Morgan, you really do have a lot of cars. Have you even driven the CL since you got the FR-S?

I still drove it as the daily until the exhaust told me to go fuck myself at 80mph at the end of May. Since then she sat. But its getting cold and I miss the heated seats tbh. Hoping to get her cleaned up and back on the road this Wednesday since Im not working during the day. Hopefully its warm enough out.

I had a 1 month gap between buying my TL and selling my RSX. I gotta be honest...at first I'd drive one then the other etc...but over time, I ended up just enjoying the ride of the TL much more. The RSX was harsh and you had to really push it high into the RPM's to "feel" anything...although I do miss it...the TL was my new baby.


We'll see what happens when you drive it on a regular basis.

Yea. I miss the low rpm pull. But RWD is definitely fun. It was raining today, pretty much the only time I can break these tires loose. I pulled out onto one of the main roads, floored in first, slammed into second and got squirrely. It wasn't dangerous feeling, just a very controlled swaying feeling. It went to the left, then right, back to the left, and shimmied a bit more. So much fun. I need more power so I can do it when its dry out.

Just got a chance to watch that. The only idle issue was the idle dropping when coming to stop, it would drop to about 550-600rpm. By about 1500miles, it went away. The car has never stalled on me either.

You have no idea how much I DO KNOW what you're talking about here...took me right back to High School in my 87 Corolla SR5 stick coupe. Fk, I wish I had kept that car...I wasn't really into cars back then but I sure did know how to pop the car back into 1st on a turn in the rain and dump the clutch and enjoy fishtailing the hell out of it!!!
