Wow, lovely night shots.

iTrader: (3)

Thanks Anil! They are still pretty noisy but not too bad!

Thanks MEKO! It's a pretty stiff ride. Yes, the coils are set stiff, but the ride quality has noticeably suffered since I ditched the 235s for the 215s. Stiffer and smaller sidewalls

Thank you Steven!

Thank you Austin, especially for those shots!

The RSX was low as fawk. There's no way spacers could fit on there without loads of camber.

And I thought I was a Whore....

I think this is the longest my thread has gone without an update

Since my last update, I got engaged, graduated from college, and moved from the Raleigh area to Charlotte. Unfortunately due to everything going on, the TL has been neglected, but I wanted to take advantage of the snowfall from last night and get some pictures.

After going from 235s to 215s in April, I didn't get an alignment. I finally did a few weeks ago and my specs are much better. I really need some adjustable ball joints up front to help the camber, but can't decide what brand I want. Any suggestions?





Onto the snow pictures:









Look at the snow between the wheel and tire











^Dat picture, with moar editz...























As for what the car will be getting (hopefully) soon: adjustable ball joints, new center console armrest, an oil change, and a wash

I would like to redo my headlights by adding a clear diffuser and painting the silver ring around the HID lens black, but I'm going to wait until it's warmer outside.

That's all folks

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Love it, Tyler. Always loved your car and I really like what you do with a 35mm lens.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thank you Austin!

I've been using aperture mode a lot recently and love it. I just wish my 18-250mm was as crisp as my 35mm

Edit: I forgot to post this non-eventful video I took this morning. I'm not sure what the high pitch noise is, sorry.

Nice Pics... I love how well white TL's photogragh in the snow.

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Hit it maaan!! Where is the revving
Nice shots, white on white I like
We miss you, 2 and a half months

And I have no idea how you drive 8.5"s with 215
I still hate the day I got my 225s on 8" rims
You must be running pretty low psi to get some handling

Predatorbird

Great shots, Tyler! Almost makes me miss mine.

iTrader: (5)

great shots Ty....

while watching the video I was like "Meko is gonna be disappointed" and sure he was LOL

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Thanks Earl! Luckily you can't tell how filthy the TL is

I know I know, sorry

The tires give a pretty stiff ride but are fine. While I like to get where I'm going quickly, I'm not an overly aggressive driver, so changing the tire width won't be catastrophic for me.

Almost

Thanks Adam!

Thanks Anil! Yeah, I was like "ehhhhhh...do I really want to edit and upload this?"

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

True, plus the roads are probably better than here.

You know it Anil

Good video to show the stance. Keep it.
You car is really really low

Aman

Engaged, huh? Tell Mitzi her TL is looking pretty good.

Nice pictures!

Car looks awesome, as always. As for adjustable ball joints, the only common brand I hear of often is Moog. Check them out.

Again, very clean ride. If you ever consider getting foglights, don't. Looks sweet without them.

Nice choice with tires, too.

I love snow pics........

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

HEY! The car is mine, though she had to drive it home last night

I've looked at Moog ball joints, along with a few others. I have no clue what to get

I want the dark-housing Inspire fogs but I'm not sure I'll get them. As much as I love my car, I'm sort of over modding it.

Thank you!

Thank you sir!





Absolutely terrible pictures but here's a few from C&C yesterday:









omg omg omg omg omg omg omg new GT3











Anyone remember the Bad Boys movies?...





I met up with two local Acurazine guys out there as well! It was good to meet some new members and talk about modding.









I was leaving C&C and this idiot in his camoflagued E36 pulled the handbrake and did donuts in the middle of the road.



And this Charlotte C&C has gotten some national attention because of an idiot in a Mustang...

http://jalopnik.com/mustang-at-cars-...-at-1514303344

That stunt along with the E36 might have ruined C&C for the area. Supposedly it was hard for the organizers to get this location and it's possible that we won't be invited back

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

dat GT3

yes effin please !!!


and there is always an idiot who will mess things up for everyone....we have the biweekly local meet (Fast Fridays) and some idiot in a 370z (if i remember right) took out a light pole after trying drift while making a left turn...

when we asked him what happened he was like "the clutch was stuck"....sure it was

Aman

Happens everywhere... Ertefa up here has been shut down multiple times because of big-ego monkeys.

I can understand the urge to show off, but the only people you end up impressing are other pea-brained monkeys.

I think your car looks great the way it is. Look hasn't aged at all.

SHOstopper1992

Our babes look good.

That guy in that E36 goes everywhere and ruins every event.


I'd seriously like to deal with him.

I'm not opposed to those suggestions





Along with the rest of the east coast, NC has gotten a lot of snow over the last few days. Here's what the TL currently looks like:









Check this out. The ice stuck to the wheel and created this "mold"...

Nothing new to report other than hitting 138k miles and a trip to the infield of the Charlotte Motor Speedway.

they just let you drive on in to the infield? what about the track?

My fiancee's brother was there for the Dale Jarrett Racing Experience. Everyone was able to drive into the infield and take pictures of everyone driving. I separated from the pack and took some pictures of my car I wasn't able to get on the track, though.

Here's a few of the racing experience:
