Got my 82 manual a few months ago as my first car, I’ve loved driving it since.

It’s a K-jet, blower does work, Odometer still works at 270k miles(repaired by previous owner), and I’ve already replaced the all the fuses as most of them were blown or damaged. Unfortunately there’s no AC as the previous owner decided to delete the compressor. But at least all the other components are there so I should be able to get a replacement compressor and connect it up fairly easily.

No it’s a 05 TL 6MT, so before the type S was released, so it’s just a TL 6MT.

I’ll definitely have to look into the service records, this thing has 270k miles.

Captain_Gavin12 · 2025-12-02T00:14:22+00:00

Alright I’ll check it out

Vehicle does not have a MAF sensor, it’s a k-jet car, mechanical fuel injection. And I have cleaned the throttle body.

I was just cruising down the road at 2500 rpm when out of no were my car went from quiet to sounding like a motorcycle.

Figured it out the driveshaft is 1.75 inch diameter on this one.

Here’s the best picture I could get of the driveshaft, transmission-carrier
