hey guys!
this forum has been a wealth of information to me the last year and a half. i bought my 2005 Shinka (affecionately known as the Purple Nurple) with 81k on it september 2013, and just broke 101k this month. runs like a champ

Since i bough the car, i've been premixing with AMSOIL dominator synthetic premix at 4 oz. a tank, have replaced plugs, coils, wires, air filter. i've cleaned the ESS, MAF, and throttle body, replaced a bunch of bulbs with LED ones, and changed my oil with near religious regularity, along with topping it off every other tank. i've used Castrol GTX 5w-30 dino oil and a bosche filter. i've also done numerous other things to the car, but i cant remember them all right now.

needles to say, everything i've done to the car has been though the knowledge i've gained from this forum, and i continue to learn from it.
