uhh ohh... Not only got the same color, year and 6mt package combo sedan, and also fairly close in the area and wants the same wheels that I eventually want to put on my car. DAMMIT I got some real competition going on now

Anyways I need to get my diff fluid changed, where'd you get yours and how much did you get?

Not to mention we're both named Mike

Diff oil change is super easy, much easier than engine oil. Black Betty has a great DIY over in the tech section.

I'm using Redline 75x90 Gear oil. You will need buy two bottles since it takes about 1.5 quarts to refill. Think its like 16 bucks a bottle on amazon, free prime shipping. Also need a quart pump which is like 5-7 bucks. Here are the links to what you'll need:

Amazon.com: Red Line 57904 (75W90) Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 Quart: Automotive Amazon.com: Red Line 57904 (75W90) Synthetic Gear Oil - 1 Quart: Automotive

Amazon.com: Plews 55001 Lubrimatic Fluid Quart Pump, Fits Standard Quart Bottles: Automotive Amazon.com: Plews 55001 Lubrimatic Fluid Quart Pump, Fits Standard Quart Bottles: Automotive


Oh and almost forgot, you also need a hex wrench (10mm I think but I'll need to double check that)...I got a craftsman hex socket set for my torque wrench when i did it last time.

Let me know if you need any help...super easy to do this one anytime, I don't even think I needed to jack up my coupe when i did this last time.

Wow even named Mike as well!!! Well you got some great taste there Mike!

Thank you for the links! Appreciate it, I'll have to go ahead and order them, I'm a prime member as well so I appreciate the amazon links!

As to the whole diff fluid change, honestly I haven't done one and even more so not on this car so I wouldn't really know much about it, perhaps something we could do if we link up in a few weeks?

Sure no problem. If we hook up to do this, you won't need to get the pump or hex sockets, I got those covered.

Took some more photos in the nice weather we're getting here in the northeast.

Font shot with the bumper plugs installed...Too bad the damn license plate bracket made other indents on the front bumper

I only modded it by swapping the LEDs from my original button into the GTR button. How was yours modified?
