-First Trip - Tech heard the sound and said it's the transmission spinning

-Second Trip - Same tech hears it again, but louder this time. Replaces Heat Shield, then replaces transmission, then replaces both front and back catalytic converters (~20 days at the dealership)

-Third Trip - New tech, heard the sound. Switched out P -zeros with Turanzas, sound is still there.

There you have it, '05 TL with 1100 miles.

Anyways, I have an 8 am conference call tomorrow, so I am heading to bed. Thanks for listening guys and I will post from work tomorrow.

well if we leave by 6:45 we should be alright, there are a few patchy spots of traffic, but then again i haven't been that far in the AM, so may take longer than anticipated. I have a feeling we will be on time If you want to leave earlier its fine w/me

I've been looking high-low for straight on pics of TE's in silver but haven't found any yet. I believe the TE's also have better spoke/caliper clearance for BBKs. Also, I found a few places that sell center caps for them. Maybe mr. zizzles would be interested.

Center caps are too prone to get stolen.

Obviously, I am taking that statement with a grain of salt. I am meeting the dealership manager at 1 pm on Friday (thank god I work from home on Fridays) along with my legal representation (my bro).

If I get the car replaced then, I will have to go easy on the twisties .
