here's a closer look at the ghetto air filter. duct tape baby, or actually ugly brown tape in my case. works wonders

unx979

here's a picture of how much the pro-kit lowers the car, not really all that much but the handling is greatly improved. oh yeah and check out the clean wheel :p

unx979

Dude nice car. That's sweet. I am going to get fogs soon too. Hey on your alpine deck, does that fit right in there or did that have to be custom made? I can panasonic stuff at cost, and was wondering if certain models of decks will just fit right in?

TommyTL

Dude is that your audio system? If so what type is it?

unx979

my alpine deck is actually in the glove compartment....pictures tomorrow. the thing you're seeing is a 2nd Gen DVD navi for our TL brothers.

MaxxT

Hey bro - How did you get your hand on one of those Navi-DVD of the 2nd gen TL? Share the info. would ya?

unx979

well i got the navi off of ebay. it was on a salvedged TL and i won the bid, 700 bucks. not bad might i add

redeye

whoa!!!
gotta love them inspires!!!!

can't wait to get mine in december!!!!


love what you did to the car bro, can't wait for more pics

MaxxT

So the Navi just fits right into the slot without any modification? Does it come with radio or anything like that, or it's just a screen? I'm illiterate with this. Reason I asked because you said you have an Alpine deck in the glove compartment? Explain detail man?

unx979

the navi is simply the navi, no radio or anything.

nice pics mang. what kind of air filter you got? you happen to know what size it is? im prolly getting that next but i dunno what will fit. holla

hey, what does that sticker say on your left headlight? (the one with the front view of your car at a distant view) hey, remember i was talking to you about the air filter? remember i was talking about what to do about that plug thats found on the factory airintake? well i noticed in the pic that you just changed out the filter...and kept the air intake stock. good job..

unx979

the sticker on the front is "robotech" i think. that was back when i was like 17 and put that on cause i had a bunch of stickers. it was too hard to get off. the reason it's not on the other side is cause i got a new headlight due to my incident with the deer. i don't remember what the size of the diameter was. i think someone else posted it up before. hehe i'm lazy, that's why i only swaped out the box and nothing else for the air filter.

Do the intake and exhaust give you an enhancement of power?
Please give me some detail on the sound difference with the exhaust and intake. Is it a low sound, or does it sound like a raggety muffler? Noticeable difference in power? How many horses?

unx979

the intake and exhaust do give a little bit of extra performance. the noise of a exhaust depends on the type of muffler or exhaust you get. mine's pretty low, not rattly.

TLBaller

intakes make a hissing noise(some brands) but hissing noise is a good thing if you want power. that means air is being sucked in... you might be able to hear the hissing noise as you turn off your engine.

as for exhaust, unx is right.. it depends on the exhuast/muffler. if its a catback then yes, it will be a deep throaty sound but you dont want that for a TL, do you?? i had a 5 zigen exhaust on my old honda and it was annoying as hell when i was traveling from houston to dallas. 4 hours of "burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" lol so you might want to think twice about exhausts for TL's. i just think luxury cars should be a quiet..smooth ride. But if you want..........GO FOR IT!

unx979

yeah the borla that i have is annoying on long ass trips. imagine six hours of this rumbling tone. i'm use to it, but the passengers aren't. i feel sorry for them. haha

I am sitting here looking at your navi, and scroll down to tell you how tight it is and all , and yes it looks madd tight! but no radio, you have got to be kidding me. what do you mean you have no radio in your car? thats CRAZY! i can not imagine not having a radio.
Car looks good tho, WOW no radio.....................

unx979
