Its been another couple of years. Couple updates:

Still own the car, suprisingly. Different tune, still running great. Cant believe I still have it lol.
Havent decided on if I'm going to wrap it with my wrap I bought years ago or not. Car has really been on the back burner for these last couple of years. I have bought different seats for the third time, this time I have some Braums in the car.

Still own the Rotiforms, car is currently on some TL 17's at the moment.

Still own the 3G TL daily, although not much of daily for about a year. Stock, never modified.

Decided to log on and see whats going on. Its been a while

These cars are like a bad tattoo, you feel like common sense says you should get rid of it but you just keep holding on. haha

What kind of persuaded me to keep mine was that everything these cars are is becoming rarer with time....manual trans, V6 engines, coupe bodystyles, analog experience/simplicity, actually having a front bumper and not a huge gaping mouth, etc. Not to mention you're not going to get much for it anyway. And then there's some sentimentality involved, at least for me.

Though if I had not done a drivetrain swap and complete overhaul I might be feeling differently despite the aforementioned. I dunno.

Anyway good to hear from ya man.

True that. I still have quite the stockpile of the rarer parts of these cars, although I have thinned out some stuff. I had, at one point, 8 TL 6MT transmissions. Still holding onto it though. I do get the sentimental feeling from it still, which is why I still own it. Good to hear from you as well. Everything going good on your end?

Holy pile of transmissions batman.

Yeah everything is fine, other than being tired of working. Wish I had more money/space for cars haha.

How about you?

Glad to see you still on here! It's crazy how fast the years go by. I still have so many plans for my CG but the urgency to get around it it has died down.

I got a 3G Type S as my daily and as much as I love that car, the headaches it's giving me are so much more trouble than my Accord ever was.

Update: Car has a new tune from English Racing in Washington state. Runs and drives great still. Still needs wrapped.

New Additions:
RL Calipers with 350Z rotors
LED Tail Lights (mostly complete now)
CLS Tan Seats
--Have not decided if I am sticking with tan or buying a black interior to put in this car yet
AEM Temp Gauge
Probably other things I forgot to include.

I know way too much about these engines/chassis now. That is all. If anyone needs any CLS6 parts or J series stuff, you know where to find me.
Hi new here, but the car isn't. Did the RL calipers require much to swap in? I'm looking into better caliper options and only have the stock V6 calipers. It's a 00 with an F20B swap, 5 lugs.

P.S. I bought rotors and pads lol
