Engine:

Type II conversion
- heads
- intake and exhaust headers
- Bayou Stage II chip meant for Legend Type II
- Custom intake

(I replaced the motor mounts and timing belt just to be safe, might as well do it now rather than later)

No suspension mods (for now, I like my ride the way it is)

Interior/audio mods:

Blaupunkt San Jose MP3/CD player
Nakamichi speakers (mids)
Sony 10 disc CD changer (mp3 compatible)
Custom leather seats
Custom REAL wood
Mahogany wood shifter

(installed rear seat heaters but not working yet, going to upgrade my alternator first)

 

View Sig...
Clear bumper lenses...

Pushed by 2 crappy boss amp 4x400 watt & 2x1400 watt ... Hopefully will be changed soon to audiobahn...

other than that... everything is stock and malfunctioning for some weird reason... i still think my car is jinx... due to the fact that when i add something new something else goes wrong...
Hopefully this month goes better...

Oh and my fuel gauge that i busted is going to be installed next week... how but it will...
Also, i'm getting my valves adjusted because its making this really bad clicking noise... ... ...

Nakamichis are SO nice sounding, they were a gift, friend of mine works at a stereo store

All 1st generation 3.2 TL's have the same engine as the '91 - '95 Legends.

Legend engines were Type I (200 hp) and Type II (230 hp)

Type II is higher revving and more free flowing, so more power

The guys at www.mazzurisuper.com are working on a header+exhaust system for the 2.5 guys like myself. Gains are expected to be over 25whp and 30wtq.

 

Ken, do you know if there is a Bayou Stage II chip for the 2.5? Also do you live in Louisiana like me?

 

I'm in Oregon. The Bayou chip is meant for the 3.2 motor, its originally intended for OBD-I. Its a complete pain in the ass to convert your car from OBD-II to I, I think Cornflake can back me up on this...

 

so when you go for state inspection, do they put your car on the sniffer since you are no longer obdII

 

too lazy to type out my mods... but here

 

There isnt an inspection for most parts of the state. Two areas in Oregon require emissions checks, the rest do not

 

Man, You guys are way past me in the game! here is my short list:

35% Tint (Ain't no more play in GA)
Clear Bumper lights
Kuhmo Ecsta 225/45 ZR17

Black painted Muffler (what a way to get high! LOL)
Kenwood Head Unit

Looking for:
Black Housed Headlights
Painted sills
Eibach Springs
Cold Air Intake
Rotora slotted rotors, black painted calipers, and some steel brake lines
New leather driver's seat (maybe a blacked out interior altogether)

 

I want to see some pictures too!

 

how much does the type II engine cost you?

 

how you did that?

 

you can find them on ebay for around $800 and then expect at least another $1000 to install it.

 

The pulley was made by NDI or something along those lines... Had to get 3 belts custom from Gates to get it to work.

Update on parts:

~Super Earthing Kit II

I'm old, not really gonna mod this nice car. But I do want to know where you folks are getting the clear signal lights? One of mine is broken, and I'd like the clear ones to replace it.

 

Ah nevermind, found a link to that procarparts place. Shipping to Hawaii sucks, but that's what I get for living here.

 

Yeah, I do have a BHG, but it isn't completely blown. I did run mid 15s at the track with it, and my valve seals were leaking then, too.

~Cheers~

P.S. Corytomo, before TLBaller comes and chews you out for not using the search, go to ProCarParts.com and search there. I didn't get mine from them, but they have it there.
