I say wish I stayed stock or A-Spec suspension after thinking what I went through
but then, being low, seeing the road better, having an amazing handling makes me say the opposite

I hate modding I love modding

Just picked up a set of A-Spec Wheels 18x8 locally from someone selling them on Craigslist.

Picked them up for $500 with Tires, TPMS, and Center Caps included. Will be parting out the TPMS since I don't need them for my '04 TL. They're in excellent condition except two of them have minor curb rash.

Nice pick up, Will. I wasn't a HUGE fan of the RJ's but I obviously do love the Aspecs. Killer pricing too.

8's look great with that extra lip detail.

Those are the only rims I would want on my TL
Big spokes which matches great with the body, 8" is what is best for the TL, offset is perfect for my taste, color is perperperfect too, lighter than stockies as well...

Did some work on the TL over the weekend, cleaned up a couple things here and there due to the weather being in the 60's. The interior needed a vacuum and detail.

I also moved my IAT Sensor to another location. When I installed the SH-AWD TL 3.7 IM, I originally relocated the IAT Sensor to the lower grill in the front bumper as suggested. While doing some cleaning, I noticed the sensor was really dirty since it's basically exposed to everything.

After looking around, I decided to use the pipe/tubing that connects to the lower half of the stock intake box as the new spot. From driving last night and today, I felt no difference in driving and it will keep the sensor clean as well.

I removed the resonator chamber awhile ago, before going with 3.7 IM/TB setup.

Will, if you are logging using Torque, you can see the different in IAT temps as well as timing advance...not enough to notice anything when its cold outside, I would like to know how it does in the summer...

I'm currently not using Torque, but come spring time, i'll pick up a Bluetooth OBDII Port adapter for it.

My primary reason for moving it was seeing it covered in dirt and other random crap from the roads during the winter.
