If I remember correctly I think it put down about 515whp and 475wtq. I'm pretty sure he had only a few bolt on's also. It's a bad bitch.

Cleaned the engine bay up some today since it was so dirty. I haven't washed my car in over a month because of the shitty weather.

Civicdrivr since your build thread is closed. What's all your engine mods? Just curious what's the details on your car since I've seen some posts from you with nice numbers. Let me know thanks.

-J37 crank and rods w/ RL pistons (3.6l)
-KMS valve springs and retainers
-PnP'd heads
-PnP'd intake manifold w/ plenum spacers and MDX air horns
-80mm TB with matching intake
-Lightweight crank pulley
-Clutchmasters FX300 clutch w/ lightweight flywheel

At the time of the last dyno I posted, I still had the XS headers and 2.5" exhaust, but put down 294/275 untuned and running crazy rich past 5k rpm (~11.2:1)

Damn that's a very good number also. I like how the tq isn't far behind. What are you using for tuning? Whats those three mods ? I'll be happy if I can just break 300whp lol.

Is that just a car show or do people race also? I really don't want to travel far without axles in case I beat on the car and break one. But who knows maybe I'll go, it all depends if I have the things I want done on my car finished soon.

Honestly I don't know if my car will be right before that date. I want to make sure I come correct if I'm traveling that far. I would definitely need axles for sure! I actually met and hung out with that guy that was doing the interview in that video at nrg tech shop in NY a couple months ago.

I bought a set of brand new black chrome tl a spec wheels 18x8 with +45 offset. The seller name is dudley500_0 he has great prices and lots of different OEM wheel choices. I made a deal with him not through ebay but here is a listing of the same wheels that just ended today. Once they come in I will take some pictures.

My wheels came in today, I couldn't pass off on these since I got them for a steal! A couple do have slight handling blemishes but I didn't mind since the price was so good. Here's a teaser pic.

Well I got the wheels and tires mounted tonight. I bought a set of 245/40-18 michelin mxm4's used for the front today. I had a set of 235/40-18 falken ze 912's for the rear sitting in the garage so I put those on. This is only my temporary tire setup until I decide to spend a big amount on new high end tires. Here's some night time teaser shots. The car needs to be lowered more asap!!!

I do like those wheels but I prefer my 3g tl a specs over those. I just drove up to Delaware yesterday to purchase a 07 tl-s pearl white exterior with black interior for my girlfriend. It has those exact wheels on there haha. Yes it has thank you!

We stayed in Atlantic City NJ for the night to sleep since I get a comp room anyways to break up the driving of the long trip. My gf took a picture of my car when we were arriving to AC that I thought looked cool enjoy!

Lol yeah now that I finally got my hands on one I decided to do everything I always imagined. Thank you! I should have your old lip kit on eventually. The front bumper and grill is at the body shop right now. I will be putting that on within the next week to hold me over for now .

That's the brand I used. The fitment was good. I noticed a difference at the time but now I'm used to it.

I received the member Krazykrnboi's trunk today. As soon as I picked it up from the shipping company I brought it to the body shop to get painted in time for the springfest car show this Sat. I love it. My front bumper is almost finished getting ready for some filler and to be sanded. I will have pics after everything is back together this week from the car show this weekend. Here's some pics enjoy.
