Oh I had them for about a year and a half lol. Our cars are long lost brothers ;)

99blackhatch Feb 6, 2013 01:28 PM

I'll be your darker brother. LOL Here is the old '96 I used to have too... for what the TL wheels are and cheap to pick up, they work really well on both versions of the KA9. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c4...LACKHATCH1.jpg

You did the 99-04 front end conversion on it and a lot of other stuff lol

99blackhatch Feb 25, 2013 08:47 AM

Oh... yeah. I did the front end conversion, JDM headlights and wiring and some other stuff, but back on topic... how are things going on your car? :)

3.5RLv-tec? Feb 25, 2013 08:09 PM

What kind of muffler do you have on the car and what is that thing under both side of the rear bumper lol? I just installed a magnaflow with a 12" aftermarket resonator in place of the OEM. It is loud at lower RPM but it sound great at cruising speed. Any of you know why do I have a tick sound coming from the muffler and resonator area after the engine is off? Is it because of the resonator metal is expanding and contracting from the heat?

99blackhatch Feb 25, 2013 11:14 PM

Maybe muffler bearings. ;-)

I have a Forza Motrosport 3'' welded on to the stock piping using a coupler, it doesnt damage the ears but it isnt too loud, its actually pretty grunty, over 60mph on the highway you cant even hear it ;). The things on the rear bumpers for all you diy guys is lip trim cut and curved to suit the outlines of the bumper i hope im the first to do this on the rear its been a while since ive done it aswell...so dont come in here saying that youve done it before me lol:tongue:

Something thats a little helpful and rare at the same time ;)

3.5RLv-tec? Mar 2, 2013 04:15 PM

Nice rear shade. Can you take a pic with the rear shade pull up from the out side of the car? My tint is pretty light and i want to get the rear shade for the summer months. Is the Forza from OBX muffler? I'm going to put back my oem muffler, the magnaflow is pretty loud even with the aftermarket resonator installed. I love the magnflow on the highway, its sound freaking amazing at high speed but at low rpm it is really loud:yuck: Btw, take a pic of your muffler lol

The rear shade is an oem accesory for the European market :thumbsup:, and yes the forza is from obx lol. My dad said the muffler was loud, i laughed lol.:tongue:

3.5RLv-tec? Mar 2, 2013 11:00 PM

LOL exactly. Personally, I really like the sound when I'm driving alone:tomato: Some time I have family and friends with me and they keep complaining.

Bad ass... where did you find that gem...

PM me if you don't mind. :)

Fabvsix Mar 4, 2013 05:13 PM

Why not just LIMO tint the windows? That's what I did and never looked back....works great too! However I could not tint the front seat windows as its illegal in California!

I'm with this guy... I hate seeing different percentage tint from a front of the car and the back of the car... it looks odd to me.

I like seeing it flow smoothly and uniform.

Any pictures of the exhaust work on the car? We saw pictures of it on the lift, but no end results. :)

Are you plan to remove your muffler soon? Just in case if it too loud and you want to remove it. If so, try to remove the muffler and just run the car with the resonator and see how the car sound like lol.
