    1/3rd in the gas tank, 1/3rd in the crank case, 1/3rd through the vacuum line off the brake booster.
    Then I cleaned the TB with TB Cleaner and will change the plugs and oil this week.
    Unfortunately/fortunately I found oil in the plugs, so I'll have to get a VC gasket kit. Also found that my exhaust mani has a leak as white smoke plumed out when I did the sea foam, so there's another gasket to replace.
    I'd love to throw on a new header while I'm at it, but I shouldn't be spending too much right now and I'd prefer long tubes.
    Either way, it hit 170,000 today and feels pretty good. I can't wait to get the body work done/painted.

    I got my VRG rear and New-style sides installed. Rattle canned the skirts so they weren't so abstract lol Also cleaned her and changed the VC gasket. Reused my stock VC bolts for the 4th time because the "new" bolts are just too darn short they don't seem to work.

    I didn't physically do anything with my car but I decided I'm gonna save up for another car to be my daily driver since I wanna make my current G a project car. I'm not sure yet if I'll get another cheap G or some other cheap car but I'm leaning toward another G cause why not?

    Inspired from 4-G-Rim installed a rear diffuser and bolted/welded the rear tow hook to the chassis.

    I like the tow hook, been thinking about doing something since I have nothing. Did you bolt it to the rear crash bar bolts and then weld it on the side?

    I used a tow hook bracket from an older model IS300, used a metal grinder to match the holes, bolt it on the crash bar, and weld the sides together. This would save more time if it were done at factory level but we know how Mitsu cut corners on this platform.

    You pulled the whole carpet out for some coffee stains , The only time it should be pulled is to replace it IMO.

    I would love to see a tow hook like yours rotatable, were you could tuck it away when not needed but always attached.By chance do you know the capacity off the top of your head?

    It's actually pretty easy to remove the carpet, only "hard" part is removing the front 2 seats

    I removed the carpet on the GTz just to wash it, the car was new to me and for the 400 I paid for it I wasn't about to drop half the price I got the whole car for on new carpet. Used dish soap, firm brush, lots of that grease that comes in an elbow and hit it with a pressure washer (electric). Came out brand spanking new. Once it was dry I got an old bottle of cologne and went to town, let it sit for a few hours before I actually put it back. I even did the trunk linings.

    Difficulty level was maybe a 3 out of 10 for everything.

    My neighbor came home and parked her car, she a milf. Ain't gonna lie, I'd hit it. Anyway, She asked if I was gonna be able to it it all back together. I looked at her, let her know that she can pick out any panel from the bunch and I'll tell her where it goes and how it goes and what screws to use from the cup I had them all in.

    it's attached to the is300 bracket so it detachable. It's mainly to tow your car out if stuck in the mud/snow/lake. No towing capacity it wasn't designed for that kind of use.
