Been quite a while since I've posted an update...so far so good with the new clutch and rebuilt trans. I do however want to adjust the shifter linkage thanks to TylerT for the suggestion. The shifter is just notchy and not smooth to change gears. I'm hoping the linkage is all that needs a look at.

Anyhow, I washed, waxed, applied Rain-X to the windows, polished the exhaust tips and applied some tire shine this weekend.

Have some iPhone pics!

I doubt he curbed them though, he'd be dead from seppuku.

Hello all, been quite a while since I've posted here! I still have the TL, still kicking at 182k miles and 12 years old. The other day I logged in to look up some fixes for the TL and I saw my last post here, #122 and missed how clean the car was, (previously, it had been like 6 months since I washed the car). I decided to spend my Saturday morning detailing it for about 4+ hours.

Also in the time since I've posted here, I've bought my own home with my girlfriend of 5+ years, (pictured!) and it's been a great time.

Just poking around a little, I still see a lot of familiar usernames, which just shows you how great this website is and the sense of community it has.

Anyway, here's the few pics I snapped last night!

Thanks man!

The TL is my daily and with this new house, I'm driving about 95% highway for 70 miles one way. It's not really worth having it resprayed at this point.
