Ordered the three tranny sensors to change out..
Did a 1x3.. Have two more (1x3) that will go in at 10k intervals..
Also was pulling out the OEM intake to install an AEM CAI I picked up from a fellow Aziner.. Wanted to do this all at once since removing the oem intake would give me good access to the sensors..
Bumper removed for better access..
Out with the old.. In with the new!
Need to measure and verify to top off but this amount filled up the three quarts I pulled out..
Intake in process..
I relocated the grounds under the fender and then realized this intake's mounting point is inside the engine compartment.. I thought they all grabbed the intake on the wheel well side..
All finished up..
Only thing missing now is installing the new cabin filter.. I was too filthy to get into the car and work on that, had it professionally detailed on the inside last week.. Didn't want to get it greased up..

Hahahahaha well compared to some states you could say that, but remember I come from Puerto Rico.. 100x35 miles surounded by some of the best beaches in the world and best looking women in bikinis
Had to hit the Brewing Tour.. Another one of my hobbies other than car modding and road racing is home brewing.. Need to make another brew.. Been a while..
Today we were drinking my buddies Pumpkin Ale..

Its funny you ask cause I have been looking into the headlight threads the past weeks looking at the work JNC and AckTL05 perform and I am interested in doing it. I have done black housing headlights myself before but regular ones, nothing with HIDs. The work these two guys do looks great and the feedback from fellow members speak highly of them. I recently started following AckTL05 on Instagram and was able to see some of his work on 07-08 headlights and I am pretty sure I know how I would like them based on a pic he loaded not long ago. So I will probably pull the trigger by the end of the year.. I need to install the Koni's I'm expecting tomorrow and finish some details on the track car before I can do the headlights but definitely on my to do list.. Together with the smoked rear side markers Keith recommended a while back..
I sure am my friend.. I need to be more diligent with easy stuff like this.. Somewhere I read it needs to be changed every 30k, almost sure that one had a tad over 50k..

I hear ya man.. Dealer used to change mine when I visited them as part of the maintenance package I had but it hasnt seen the dealer since the package ran out by millage.. Been servicing the car myself for a while, had just overlooked this..
