Disconnected the cables to the TPMS to stopped the beeping. Looking to replace the sensors when possible financially -- in the meantime, just purchased what I hope is a top-notch tire pressure guage.

Consider the FOBO system. Syncs to your phone. I have a set for my SC and a bike version for a couple of motorcycles.

What is a FOBO? and do you have a link?

Installed the quantum auto ECU today. It was easy to swap out and reprogram. The car shifts much more appropriately now. In normal mode, When I press down the pedal, it actually downshifts! Amazing! Then when you switch into ECT POWER, you can really feel the responsiveness.
I have Calvin’s throttle controller also, and I had to dial it down to almost nothing. I’m considering taking it out, but I’ll probably just leave it in place.

I used two 5 gallon buckets (one for old fluid going to the transmission cooler and one with new fluid returning to the transmission) to cycle 14 quarts through the running transmission. I'm figuring this is just as good.

After about a year in the garage, connected the battery cables, turned the key and ... it started right away. Pumped up each tire to exactly 33 1/3. Drove around. Parked and disconnected the cables. Might install and program in the Yuri's mod ECU next (which took its time getting to me due Covid etc - all delays on me, Yuri's turnaround was very fast), but was hoping to get some numbers as 0-60 before and after, and doing that right after a prolonged non-use would likely not result in a clearest comparison. Maybe in a few months. Offer suggestions in the meantime what else to measure (and how). No, I am not going to a track or a dyno. I do have a 0-60 meter installed that others claim matches the track ticket numbers.

Default Wash, polish, cruise

After washing, polishing, and fixing the non-working

memory seat buttons (thanks to excellent info in this forum), took my 2007 JDM SC430 for a cruise around the coast - returned 9.6km / litre (27.12 mpg (imperial), or 22.58 mpg USA)
