Just finished the 105k service including upgrading to UR lightweight crank pulley last weekend, it was a PITA! If anyone needs some advice of what not to do I can assist ya . I used the DIY and some pictures from the manual to get it done. It took me four days at a DIY auto center each day ranged from 4 to 7 hours. They had all of the tools I needed. The impact drills did little to no justice to the crank pulley bolt. It took a Impact socket, Huge ass breaker bar with a cheater bar which made it at least 3 feet long and two full size dudes (180 lbs and 250lbs) to break it loose. FYI do not put the idler pulley on backwards, do not try to adjust a cam individually even if the rear seems off a tiny bit, and be prepared for a waterfall when the water pump comes off even if you drained the radiator.

Thanks man . Powder keg custom coatings did a great job powder coating your Type S wheels. And that extra detail you did with the center caps really goes nicely with it.
Lilkong, now your car was the one everybody was telling me about after I left. Looks good bro!.

I subscribed to groupon.com and they email me random deals every day for all kinds of things.
I bought groupons for car detailing, restaurants, etc.
You can get liposuction, anal probing...anything

I just looked again and the deal runs for 1.5 more days. Just go to groupon.com, create an acct and you should be able to find it....doesn't cost anything to create an acct and they have great deals on random stuff. My $0.02.

Ladies it's been awhile. Takata you're one of the only names I recognize anymore. I don't think I've even posted for a year or two. BUT I sold the TL. She treated me well. Bought a 2000 TL 5 years ago with 121,000. Traded it in with 171,000 miles on it. I traded the TL in for truck.

I'll eventually make one....it's not for lack of effort. Everytime you guys get together I'm coaching my sons <insert sport here> team....this summer I'll be coaching 4-5 days per week because my youngest is now in sports.
Maybe I should plan a meet so I can work around my ridonkulous schedule?

So who's actually going to Cars n' Coffee on this Saturday, May 5th? To get a parking spot within the complex you'll need to at least get to the AutoMotorPlex by 7am (proly a bit before even).
For those going, should we meet prior to heading to the AutoMotorPlex?
