I have a bigger throttle body to put on, so I'm going to do a new bigger intake for it as well. I'll sell my icebox when I'm done.

Marcelechka

Replaced with a front mount intercooler.

Marcelechka

At the time, both my mechanic and tuner recommended it... pulled the trigger from there.

The blower definitely got louder once it was completed... Ridiculously louder now with the FMIC & 4" intake

Couple of googies came in the mail; some installed, some pending.

I'll post pics once the next phase gets underway

Update:

Tein S.Tech Springs installed; thanks Excelerate!





Lip kit delivered. Thank you DHL for not damaging the package! Now on to molding



Going to get the whole car painted. Pretty much sold on a color that I really like, but it's been done here already

Looking good , what color , blue ?

Where's the lip kit from ?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

Pdiddy red?

Marcelechka

Always been a fan of Melbourne Red Metallic from the BMW M series. Just an awesome color period.

I saw Diddy's rendition which turned out great, but thought darn it! (No offense Diddy lol)

Looked around for an OEM lip kit for quite some time, but no luck. After seeing DL's conversion of the infamous ebay kit, that motivated me to pull the trigger.

AZ Meet today in S. FL.

Great Pics!

That's one sharp CL.

Ever consider silver tint on the glass?

Was that gathering at the former landfill now closed and turned into a Park at Griffin and I-75?

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

Nice pics, no engine bay shots?

landfill park? sounds nice lol.

Marcelechka

Thanks.

Not a fan of silver tint; or at least I don't think it'll work on mine

I've actually never been to that park before. Now that you mentioned it, I could totally see it being a former landfill

Sorry Gnuts, I wasn't the one taking pics this time around. There were some really good looking 3rd Gen TL's out there with their aero kits.

I'll soon follow suite

lol, yeah, after having dark tint on red with my '90 civic si hatch and '99 civic si, I just could not go back, had to try silver.

'By the time Vista View Park opened to the public on July 12, 2003, the site had already served as the county's landfill in Davie for more than two decades (1964-1987), culminating in a cleanup overseen by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that led to the site's removal from the agency's National Priorities List in 2006. (The EPA continues to monitor the site to ensure that it remains safe for public access.)'(broward.org/parks)

Ran into a Supra yesterday... Outcome wasn't so good

Yeah those are a different kind of animal. Your car still sounds nice

Marcelechka

You ain't kidding; I backed off as soon as I heard that turbo spool up and saw a faint plume of dark smoke... He was already gone by the time 2nd gear was done

Nonetheless, the driver was cool and it was fun to finally see one of those things in action

DuwayneWebPro

gawd! i cant wait until the GS-F is available. I bought my CL just so i can purchase the GS-F once it comes out.

Thanks Diddy! You definitely paved the way for many; myself included!

That said

Nice my old fog light setup I did. Trust me your going to love it when it's done.

It always baffles me how a thread (like yours) can go so long without me ever knowing its existence. Especially one that contains a boosted j-series! Lmao

Car is definitely looking and RUNNING good my friend. It's been a while since we've talked over the phone but its good to see things are still going well for this car.

Hit me up and fill me in on the details of this wicked beast you've made.

Marcelechka

Not much here, which is probably why you overlooked it!

She'll be down for the next couple of weeks for body work & paint. Quite the task ahead, but looking forward to starting the next phase.

We'll catch up this weekend for sure!

So you are copying pdiddy's car and also his thread title? How original.

Now let the hate on me begin.

MAS

iTrader: (3)

brian6speed, stop hatin!! :-)

Richkid, stop confusing me with title changes....i thought i was going crazy when it popped up in my subscription list. haha

PS---if following Diddy's footsteps is a crime, i would be ready to do time. haha, it rhymed too.

Marcelechka

Technically not duplicating anything except the color & fogs... hence v1.5

^ This.

Lol; thanks Mas!

You always run into the best cars. Did you ever get it dyno'd?

Marcelechka

Yeah I know... We're on the beach and there's always exotics on the road. Gotta love the GoPro!

Negative on dyno; street tuned after all parts were installed. Any reputable shop around here with rollers worth going to will run you at minimum $200 ... I'll eventually get it done, but the funds are better used on other mods.

nice vid! That whine is loud! Mine is whisper quiet compared to that.

Was the M3 flooring it? It looked like that V was going to take off, but had to brake to turn.

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

High boost pulley definitely makes it louder.

Marcelechka

Thanks Gnuts!

The M3 was flooring it initially; he took off well before I did (hence the title lol). As nice as it was in looks, I wasn't impressed on its performance.

The V floored it as soon as he had the room to

Both V8's sounded badass at WOT; vid does no justice in sound.

Agreed! Adding to that, any intake system, whether custom or not, will definitely make it louder once the stock intake resonator is removed. Sounds amazing in person!

p.diddy

iTrader: (3)

Will get that whine back in the new car. I miss it.

Marcelechka

Blown NSX = !!!

CL-Future

I'm sure the fact that you have the mbp on somewhat skewed the M3's performance. Those things fly so either your car was keeping up better than expected or he wasn't flooring it. I ran one in the Jeep and I WAS impressed with their performance lol.

And V8's always sound badass, see Jeep comment again

Have fun, but be careful out there man.
