Maj, I'm pretty sure there are more people with Vs on here, than there are people with RLX (SH-AWD)s. Fucking rights there should be a section. It'd be the best section, besides ramblings

Maybe there should just be a LSx section..
Do you still have the Miata? cuz you could shoehorn an LS in it.

He does not...his wife started withholding until he sold it.

LS section, someone said?

Dude, Justin...wasn't that kinda weird...making a thread searching for a member?
Like, if the was still active, wouldn't he be more inclined to see if anyone has shown interest in HIS thread and not some random new thread asking for contact?
Meh...that was the main reason I found it funny.

He's super nice and also very positive considering all the heat he caught for trying to break records and transmissions with an early year base TL...
but that was strange, to me.

and you know I'm the king of strange.

the thing is, how come projectTL couldnt use his own brain to figure out where else to strip weight?
like after spending alittle time stripping stuff, I've found A LOT that I could do but still wanted my car somewhat sexy inside

TL;DR
use that thing that's sitting atop your shoulders, projectTL

I agree...then he tried to justify it by making 2 very specific questions so it would seem less weird.

Nope... but I've heard there are LS kits for the 370z

I wonder how many other members have LSs... I know there are a few corvette guys. Any SS guys?

Either way, this really should happen.

I'm still at a complete loss as to why people want to make the TL super fast... there are so many better platforms out there to begin with.

The 3Gs strength lies in it's looks... make it look even better instead of burning money on go fast parts.

Adam, that's what I said...
everyone would be like oh yada yada that thing fast? I'm like, uh...it's fine. It's fast for what it is.
Honestly, yes, the blue car had more balls than the black one, but I mean, I've now redefined what I think fast is.
If I ever get a TL again, I'll just put some springs on it, aspec, and wheels and call it a day...everything else was a huge waste of money.

well... some stuff is all good... I can understand wanting a nice exhaust sound and bumping a few HPs that way... But FI builds, or mad NA builds seem like overkill. The 3G still looks good (if in good shape, lol) and that's where it's strengths lie. I can't think of many other 12 year old cars that look as good still.

I always thought my Hondas were slow... but I'd play around with the suspension for extra a$$ hauling and esthetic stuff. Yeah, slow in a straight line, but try keeping up in the corners!

You're smart, I actually never realized you'd done f&f coils and gone too far before...
I assumed you were born that way but it kinda felt nice to read that you went through some of the same struggles with being young and foolish.
