I'm sure the added torque will make up for the slightly taller gears. Ken, I really didn't think that you'd go manual though since you were looking for more refinement, I assumed auto cruiser with balls to take down some wienerschnitzel BMWs that might want to run, hehe.

~Cheers~

 

now if only we had a driveshaft going down the center of the floorboard to the rear end.

 

^ For reals...

~Cheers~

 

Yeah maybee if i won the lottery or something some air susp and I have always wanted someone to do suicide doors (the real clean kind not the shitty ones). and yeah ELA.TL and TLX its been a while but I still check in from time to time.

I haven't seen pics of your car in years... Got any updates to the TL?

wat's next???

 

i really need to stop... i have been spending money like it's my fucking job...

 

Uh oh...

 

Damn! You're really on a roll!

~Cheers~

 

yeah and the money is just rolling out of my pocket...

 

man i need to get back in the mix.

How do you like those rotora rotors?

I had project mu slotted ones that i ended up thrashing road racing with. I was tempted to get another set, i just didnt feel up to spending 200 bucks on some rotors when i can get the other ones for 40 dollars and they last just as long..

What pads are you running?


I switched to the project Mu Kai Pad.

FUCKING DOPE..

Im still looking into that rear spindle shit.. I want to run the type r rear rotors. I tried the legend ones but the rotor is all bizarre looking. I just want something simple and offset 2.5 inches further back than the tl hub so i can run a -30 et 19x9.5 rear wheel.

 

i went with them basically for the reputation... they make a good product and i had the rear ones on for a few months already... so im running AEM pads with Rotora discs all around... i think the rotors ran $87 a piece??? and the pads were like $35 for the set...

 

well so far i replaced front speakers with some boston acoustics 2-ways, lubed up the windows, chromed the shift plate, seafoamed the car, and waiting to get payed so come monday i can get my new remus muffler put on.....and then some new SHOES!!! [:smiley

 

i need to get off my ass and tint my windows again. I have a whole roll of this smoked green tint i got off some guy on vipstylecars.com.

I guess when i get up to it ill put some pics up..

So far ive..

Lowered the car a little more, fixed the rear bumper, mounted the rear lip, got a steering wheel spacer, installed 4300k hid's,

 

I am gearing up for the horn beep/flash when using the OEM Alarm...

 

i will mod the alarm system, any tips for that would be appreciated...
I also plan to put in an amp and two 12's in the trunk, and new door speakers... people with experience feel free to speak up

 

So fellers i wanted to see how everyones summer plans were going., and update the progress i have done. i did put new boston acoustics in front doors, and new rims just arrived to put on, chromed shift plate and yah thats it so far. Not too bad for full time work and summer classes

 

Well let's see:

Done. Full 3.5 swap/conversion.

Yes, yes she is, .



~Cheers~

 

1st gen has been neglected lately... all my money is starting to shift into the 3rd gen... lolz...

 

Short Ram Intake
rear window tint 20%
magnaflow exhaust...
lowering springs
19inch rims!

 

Want to buy mine? Which one are you getting?

~Cheers~

 

Alrighty, I'm bumping this thread from last year because I feel like it. Let's see what's new!

I got myself some Garson-style valve stem caps. They were cheap and I've been too lazy to look for my mini-piston ones, so why not go in the more VIP direction?


I've got some stuff planned for my headlights, most of the parts are sitting around the house, waiting for me to get off my ass and start getting ready to work on them.

New wheel bearing is rolling around in my trunk because I don't have the time to install it.

I want to polish my door sills because they're a bit scratched, but whatever for something that's almost 12 years old.

Thinking about hooking my deck back up so I can enjoy some nice DVD-Audio discs.

Selling my S2K wheels, so that I can rock my other S2K wheels.

Selling my Prelude wheels, so that I can rock Euroline DHs.

There's more, but yeah.

~Cheers~

 

Oh, and I'm considering this:


And I'm wondering when I can finally install my puddle lights which have been sitting here for awhile.

~Cheers~

 

not too sure about the chrome fender trim, but can't wait to see your car on the DH's Whats the specs on the DH's?

 

I need to get my seat replaced, passenger vent replaced, puddle lights, maybe some LEDs, paint my brake calipers, buy a new set of wheels, and whatever else I think of.

 

They're 19" x 8" with an offset of +45. I haven't bought them yet, but I'm planning to once all my wheels are sold. I now have a total of 18, not including the ones on the car. The reason there are two shy of a 5 sets is I donated two to a tire recycling place. I found some 17" ones, though, and I might go with those just because I prefer something smaller. Only problem is that the 17's are located far, far away and shipping would cost quite a bit.

~Cheers~

P.S. The fender liner thing was just something to do when I'm bored, haha. I agree that on my colour it'd look weird. What I really need are spikes in front and behind my car so idiots will stop backing into me.

 

Oh, and I need to get unbanned from the Black Market. I've been wanting to buy shit from other members but I've passed on just PMing them. I've also wanted to sell shit that I think some members might want/need, but I can't since I'm banned. Doesn't matter too much, but I think at most I should've been temp-banned, not perma-banned.

~Cheers~

P.S. PM box open for sales! Who needs wheels? Haha! Special pricing for forum members!! Like, HALF of what I paid for some items, .

 

future mod? Fix condenser.

 

I have been done spending money on my tl.

GO: if they were 4 lug stock wheels, id buy them with a quickness.

 

^ All 5-lug unfortunately, sorry.

~Cheers~

 

Every year this question rolls in and I have no cash left after my season in Yuma, AZ... This time its a must after crashing because of the drizzle here in Cali...

1. Fix front bumper w/ brackets
2. Push radiator back down into position including the hood latch... (hood has trouble closing but it closes)
3. Re-upholster the interior...
4. Been trying to do the camber correction for the past couple years after lowering the car...
5. Brakes
6. Engine Maintenance... Its hard to keep up with a 255,000+ mile car...


Those wheels you guys are getting are extreme... look nice though... guess VIP is in now...

 

i think i may be de-modding some things on the TL... i need the money since i just bought a house...

my 2 month exhaust may have to go...

i will start to part when i get back to the states...

 

oh! how much for the exhaust?

I have a white 2.5tl bumper I will be selling in a few days if your intrested in replacing your bumper

 

^^^ it is a complete custom cat back... i would let it go for what i paid in parts... $400... i paid another $200 in labor to build it...

i may also let go of the Type II Intake manifold

i will assess everything when i get home next weekend...
