What's your next mod?
#41
UPDATE: After driving around for a day with the Red Line MTL manual trans oil in there, I have to say that is is nearly a night and day difference. It is much easier to shift into gear and has eliminated an odd rev-matching problem I've had. After driving manual transmissions all my life (all but one car I've owned), I had pinned this one as the most "clunky". With the MTL in there, it has smoothed things out considerably.
I highly recommend this "mod" for others with the 5-speed. It is relatively cheap ($20 or so for 2 quarts) and is pretty easy to do. You'll need a funnel and a hose, as usual, but you don't need any special tools.

Trust me, you can't miss them. The are something like 22mm (can't remember exactly) and both plugs have a sticker on them that says "check the manual, blah, blah, blah". The drain plug faces the driver's wheel, and the fill plug faces the front of the car. I recommend draining without pulling the fill plug... it will "glug, glug" out, but if you pull the fill plug, it will spew out WAY fast and make a huge mess... don't ask how I know... the garage floor is covered in sawdust right now.

When the temperature drops and the tranny oil in everyone else's car is a thick as molasses, yours will be shifting as smooth as butter!!
I've been using MTL in my other car for many years.
Expensive, but WELL worth it.

upgrades
Just upgraded my speakers. Also I replaced the back interior door panel on my 2006 XB with black leather and embedded about 8 Scion logos in as buttons to hold it on. I used those crappy scion flip key chains that came out in the first year.

I already smoke back tail lights, reflectors, emblems, and black out the stock rims. Now i wanna get some black OZ rims with a blue pinstripe. Then after that maybe get a JL Audio sound system and a straight pipe exhaust.

I understand tinting out lights, but is tinting out reflectors a good idea?
