Not sure if we have a thread like this or not?Will be good for little blurbs (or big ones!) about stuff you did to your car today. I'll go first!IS300: Took it in for an e-test. This is the new OBDII test..no dyno/tail pipe sniffer. My OBD-WIZ software does the same test as the stealerhip. The car passed at home..and passed at the stealer. Shame is cost $39 though. Current mileage is 251,800...and still clean.GS400: Oil change with Amsoil 5W30 and Amsoil Ea oil filter. Put in new LED wedge bulbs in the inner lenses that better match the color of the HIDs. Much better!!

Supposedly not as grippy as RE-71R, but if I use RE-71R, I would eat through it in no time.Have you considered the Hankook RS4's? They are quite grippy, a bit longer lasting than the RE-71R's and cost less... so cheaper if you gotta replace them sooner. Sent from my SM-G970W using TapatalkThanks for the advice!I looked it up and seems like a good tire, but unfortunately, it doesn't come in the exact size my car needs, which is 225/45/R18, and they only have 225/40/R18 and 225/40/R19. The latter is actually the OEM size for an R3 RX-8, but not my GT.I mean, I could be more flexible, but I am a bit OCD when it comes to this.In that case you could try Dunlop Direzza ZIII in your size. Not as fast as the RE71R, but might wear better.

Figured it wouldn't take long....Yes, a TR8 with a Holley Carb conversion. This one actually runs, drives and is in decent shape, which is a bit out of the norm for me. Picking it up Sunday.
So it's not a small block Ford? Thought the front distributor was the give away...not that I'd know a British V8 if it fell on my head.
