A weekend worth of work considering he has every single part needed at his disposal...

TL > CL any day, and not because I have a TL

i really want to do the swap but then again the cl has a few more performance and cosmetic options available. the cl wont make it to the two following weeks bc i still need to get parts for it and have a safety inspection done. now its a salvage title and cant be driven on the street until it passes the saftey inspection. and in chicago it take forever to get an appointment

you kno tom, slammed doesn't help on the track right? you need some suspension travel, i learned that back in the day when i raced my coupe slammed and raised her up, omg what a positive change in performance. slamming is for sho. das it.

no, that's the thing about the coupes. forget rear passangers. my coupe (the legend) doesn't even have a back seat.

this is why coupes>sedans. the perfect excuse not to need to lug 4-5ppl in your car. no thanx. oh and btw, coupes have more room in the front.

i know slammed is not good for track, thats why i can raise it up a bit. and then lower it for show. wont be as good as getting some lowering springs and adj. shock but o well.

its all better now. a few more bangs here and their and then its all good. and then the modding begings.

what im gonna try and do is do a stock dyno run and a stock 1/4 mile. then after every mod (TL and IM spacers) do the same, and keep going.
