Talked to Anthony today... He said that two of their mechanics are pretty sure the cold start issue has nothing to do with the cold start sensor I bought but has a connection to the ECU ( Engine Control Unit ) basically the computer...

I also told him that I have had at least 3 alignments with them all with the same car pulling to the right results... I asked him whats the problem and that I think it could be the Tie-rods... He said that they replaced the tie-rods at some point... I then told him maybe they are not the same length ? He's going to talk to the alignment people...

Stopped by the upholstery  place but was met by some Mexican dude who could not tell me anything, even whether or not they can do the work, could not tell me the price, nothing.... I left and decided to talk to the alarm installation folks... There guy apparently died last week... yikes... but he recommended a place called Rich & Famous 14741 Bessemer St Van Nuys, CA 91411... If I'm not working with Nicolas this Friday I will go talk to them...

Also the wheel spacers I bought on E-bay do not fit my car so I'm in the process of dealing with them on that.... always something... but at least I can slowly see progress on the car...

Oh, I forgot to mention... The speedometer is now working :) This is my mileage as of this morning

 drove car today... vacuum leak fixed a lot including the need to wait under 2,000 rpm to disengage gear so it doesn't idle high... That fuck'n Linh mechanic is worthless...  anyways... also no problems getting into gear... except for one new issue... 1st gear is a little hard to get into ???? replaced the 2nd shift cable to OEM, didnt fix the problem but Im happier having OEM then MR2 Heaven... also changed transmission fluid...
