Sounds like you need to move away from PA, it snows maybe twice a year out here and cripples the area for a week or so, besides that it just gets cold as *****.

Drove her to NJ last night for Thanksgiving.

I drove through the night. First I saw a car getting loaded onto a tow truck after hitting a deer. Well what I assumed to be a deer. There was just blood and guts splattered over 2 lanes, no deer left. I saw that pattern of fresh blood and guts a few times during the night.

Then I was in the slow lane, cruising strapped in tight with the 4 point harness both hands on the wheel at about 90mph. All of a sudden I see the eyes of a deer in the fast lane walking into the slow lane. I swerved into the emergency lane, just missing the deer by inches and seriously giving myself a heart attack.


Anyways, I replaced the high beams indicator light on the gauge cluster. It was one of those stupid bothersome issues. It didn't fix the issue. I thought no harm. But now when I use my left turn signal, my high beam indicator light flashes with the turn signal, and my RPM indicator bounces in sync. I'll have to take a video. It is pretty amazing.

It was created on the 8th day by god.

(Read the thread, somewhere in here I had to mention it. I even have a link to the painter's facebook page.)

I just put on summer tires, OMG what a difference. I guess my last set were causing the vibration issue I was having. WTF Cooper tires.

Kind of crazy I finished this car almost 4 years ago. I still have her just so you guys know, but hardly ever driver her. Maybe just once last year.

A few months ago, I looked under her, and was a bit sad. All the once shinny and new parts, are no longer shinny and new.

She started acting up a while back, never quite figured out what was wrong.

I have a fk8 now, so I'm debating on building that right now.

I had the same issue on my last rebuild. $500 on OEM hardware, and only a few years later it looked like ****. Pretty painful! Spring is here, get that baby running top notch and lets see some new pics!

I'm not sure if I've ever stated. But someone offered me $2500 for my Mugen valve cover and I sold it. I just now got a new JDM itr cover, but still regret selling my Mugen one

So funny thing is, this 1/4 inch of clearance came back to bit me in the ***. Trying to reverse into a garage, the resonator bottomed out locking the shifter in place. I plan on putting a smaller resonator on in the future here.
