^Yea. Its a laser shifter. Not sure how well it works though. If it truly does work, its worth it. Theres really no way to beat a laser. But we're kind of going off topic now.

I went to a meet in Raleigh today. It was a great turnout despite the less then favorable weather reports. I was looking forward to seeing DLintheCL but he never showed. I got 133 miles on the first 1/4 tank, but after lunch when we went on our little cruise that killed my gas mileage I need my exhaust done though, its too damn quiet compared to these other guys. Oh, and I woke up late and in my haste to meet up with Quaye in time I forgot my memory card for my camera. I also grabbed the V1 and the power cord, but I forgot the power plug

Oh well, it was worth the drive and it was a great start for the meet season. Theres the University of MD meet next week, Tail of the Dragon the week after and then East Coast Honda Meet here in Richmond on the 29th. I dont think I will make it to the UM meet though

you are not going to make it next week! My car will actually be clean this time.

Keeping the thread on topic(ish)...here are a few decent shots I got for you

car looks great wow.

mantis23

Great ride & numbers. Wish I had the car knowledge to take that turbo off your hands.

Slepybear

What kind of projectors are those? or what kind of lens?
and for your calipers, did you paint the OEM, or get a cover?

Dunno In town I usually get around 180-200 on 1/2 tank. Before the build was about 220 in town. But on the highway is what I was amazed with. With the 3.2 Id get 115-120 per 1/4 tank, so being able to get 133 on 1/4 with the 3.6 is pretty damn awesome. Although the true test is when I go on a real road trip.

Dude....those rolling shots are sick

And Im still not sure. I have to take a look at my schedule to see if I can make it to the meet next week, but Im pretty sure Im scheduled for work Sat/Sun.

Thanks.

Thankyou. Its not too difficult to get the turbo installed. You'd just have to take it to someone to get it tuned.

They are clear lense TSX projectors. Im changing to something else though, Im probably going to start working on them this month sometime. And the brakes are from an RL and they are powdercoated.

BTW Quaye - Im having second thoughts about getting rid of the spoiler now. From certain angles it looks perfect.

MD03CL-S

iTrader: (1)

Thanks! Well if not this week, I will probably catch you at another meet this year (hopefully with the wheels on).

KEEP IT

Powder coating the intake now, think I am going to have a little fun with your intake cover :P......

Slepybear

How do your lens have such a red color then if they are clear? I think it looks sick.

And for the brakes, can you use just the RL calipers, and put them onto a tl? Are they covers or a full set type of thing?

read his headlight retrofit thread, he painted the cutoff shield red

and those are RL calipers FYI, and as far as cl vs tl, they are the same F***ing car except one is two door and the other is a 4-door
(look for e30cabrio's thread about them)

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

You must send me pics. I ran a TL that sat next to a supercharged TL yesterday, and I sat right next to him. With the exhaust and intake work, I should be able to take them.

I painted the cutoff shields. As Fries said, the DIY shows how I did it.

And talk to NVA-AV6 about the brackets for the calipers. They aren't covers, they're the real deal from the RL.

Rolling shots FTW! It was great to see you and the whip yesterday man. Thanks again for making the drive.

I'll see you at ECH next month

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

i know what they are. i have the same ones.

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

thought you were someone else at first, having just glanced


anyways where the CF trunk issues ever figured out???

phee

iTrader: (5)

im pretty jealous

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yup, I cant wait for it

When I first got the CTs I wasnt a fan of the tips, but I plan on doing the TL lip kit so it will blend better then rectangular tips IMO.



Thats going to tie in soooooo nicely with the NBP.

I havent had the time to mess with the trunk. I still plan on trying to get it to fit. If it fits, Ill be going with the lip spoiler and roof spoiler. If it doesnt, the stock spoiler stays.

MD03CL-S

iTrader: (1)

Sounds like you officially made up your mind? TL lip kit is definite????

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

Yessir. By the end of the year I shall be kitted and resprayed

I gotta keep up with p.diddy

n1njai

I dont think I can keep up with you, Phil, and Brian in the looks dept. Theres just no way.

SG81

iTrader: (1)

it looks awesome

i always thought you had black Ronjons though

friesm2000

iTrader: (4)

he did before, not now though

brian6speed

iTrader: (5)

Manifold looks sexy. Did you modify the plenums also.

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I did. I think these are my fourth set of wheels? And Im already sick of them

Just the larger throttle body. All the black might be playing tricks on you.

kdawg8526

iTrader: (3)

this new intake manifold going to yield more hp gain then the 09 manifold?

brian6speed

iTrader: (5)

Just the larger throttle body. All the black might be playing tricks on you.[/QUOTE]

so would the p2r plenums show you worthwhile gains or not worth doing.

Dude, I'm tellin you, there should be a name for this type of illness, like rimlexia or something. lol, quite a few members including myself have it, I already swapped out my Legends in Satin Silver for some Vegas less than 1.5 months later. Thank God I have a wheel company to support my illness.
