im putting two of these lights in my back bumper whenever i get a chance to get off my lazy *** and order two of them.


Ive thought about modding the front end of the LX to resemble the newest style but never got around to stopping by the body shop to see if it would all fit up. Maybe i will go do that today since its 25* out.

Lets see...oh right, my moms selling my house so thats my winter mod...move!

Brotha, I am with you on this point!!!! Seems like I get one thing fixed and something else wants to break. Havent figured it out as to why these problems only want to rear their ugly little heads when it gets cold outside. Spent all day this past sunday under my car replacing/ installing 100 amp Nipendenso Alternator, yellow top ultima battery, new air filter, oil, pcv valve, serpentine belt. Now if I can just fix that pesky power steer leak and oh yeah, need new front calipers; again!!!! Left side seems to have a mind of it's own and wants to partially lock up.

TTE lip ordered yesterday and roof spoiler being painted..Not going crazy on the GS with money being put into mods, as I don't plan to keep the car for too long.

Oh come on man. Now all you have to do to make all your problems go away is say, "Leroy I'll take your motor, altenator, calipers, and whatever other goodies you may still have."

Well unfortunately I've already done all the team tax right offs and donations all the way through 07. And the overhead isn't that bad on all this stuff, sooooooooo holla the boy.

You can wait that long, but I don't think I can. I might have built up my own motor by then, using all "your "stuff.

2JZ-GE (zero miles)
2JZ-GE 2.8 liter bottom end(fully built)
Brand Altenator
Getrag Vi60 trans (zero miles)
etc.

My winter mod list slightly extensive, but I imagine it'll never be as long again..... I guess I can disclose...
-18x9 MRR HR2's
-TTE Front Lip
-UGO Roof Spoiler
-MTEC 6000k HID's (already installed)
-Lowering springs (haven't bought them yet, last on my list though)
-01+ exhaust tips

Now for the fun stuf...
-XS Manifold
-T61 Turbo (T3/T4)
-FMIC (TLW? let me know)
-splitsec esc1
-HKS 40mm wastegate
-HKS BOV
-MKIII Fuel Pump
-MKIII Injectors
-S-AFC Neo
-E-cutout exhaust
-2mm Head Gasket

That's about all I can think of right now... but the car is going to be slightly changed... hahaha.

I see no reason for me to hide what's going to be done... But I'm shooting for May completion. I'm going to be in Ireland during 3 weeks in May so it may not be completed until June, but it will be done in the summer.
