Everything is looking good.

So your car is done now.

You should draft a list of ALL the mods you did to your CL.

How do you feel about being finished modding your CL?

Thanks for the kind words.

I will work on a list and am glad to have the car where I want it.

Time to pay attention to the Land Cruiser again.

Current mods include

P2R Intake, Thermal Gasket & spacer.

DC Sport headers

Driving lights have PIAA 18 watt bulbs

Kenwood DVD/NAV in stock NAV location Infinity Perfect 6.1 in front stock location and Infinity Kappa 6X9s (don't remember model) Run by Alpine MRP-F550 and Infinity Basslink II round out the stereo (My iPhone & Sirius S2 are the primary sources)

Power Slot Cryo rotors & Akebono pads

05 TL rims

Koni Yellows & Comptech springs and rear sway bar


Magnaflow 14832 mufflers & resonator

Trunk lip

I am waiting for an Unorthodox pulley set, Neuspeed 27mm front sway & RT cat and maybe then I will really be done, who knows.

1) THEY WERE THRASHED

2) I did not know you existed six months ago when I replaced them BECAUSE THEY WERE THRASHED

3) I Have tried to be nice and send people things for shipping and got sh*t on for my trouble so won't do that again.

4) Sorry but if you can't afford to spend under 80.00 you can't afford a car.

UR pulleys (all 3) went in today, RT highflow cat went in last week, all that is left is the Neuspeed front sway which will go in after the rear main seal is done next week.

Did you notice any difference from the front sway?

The Neuspeed one is 27mm right?

It is 27, seemed to be the same size as the oem, but it is much heavier so I assume it is solid whereas the oem must be hollow.

Only been in a day seems better but I have not really driven on it, I need to go to L.A. and see how it feels on Mulholland.

From what I understand...stock is smaller and hollow.

Nice pick up...this was the best one that was manufactured for the CL.

It fit perfectly into the stock bushings. I really think it was the same size.

Anyone know the size and pitch of the studs that attach the wings to the firewall?

(circled in this picture)

They were missing.

Nice job on the install and looks nice in there.

Don't have your answer on the thread pitch.

I would call CT Engineering direct and speak with Nate...he's cool with us Acurazine people!

1.916.635.4550

nate@ct-engineering.com

If he doesn't know...he probably knows the right person to get at.

^ Ha ha...he said he was pretty much done back in November.

I'm sort of addicted and I wish I kinda wasn't...LOL.

Think this is the case for a bunch of us...

When we see a good deal on something we jump on it.

That is true. I was happy where it was in November but as you say there were deals on things so I got the pulleys, cat & sway bar, then the Comptech strut became available and I jumped on it.

I really do think I am where I want to be but who knows?

The car will need tires very soon so that is next but I think the mods are done.

I realized I never posted pictures of the trans cooler.




I used wire conduit to protect the hoses.
