Nice job Kris. Car is lookin damn good.

Oh and Holy Snow shovel on the front of that talon.... completely unnecessary.

 

nice come back tho and that whoops...

 

Nice, from the vid you posted up, look like the only car that passed you was the CRX right? So you were able to keep pulling from the EVO? Wow, quite amazing.

 

In all fairness, the Evo needed a driver mod.

 

Thats my buddy. He is one of the fastest out there. Not by HP but by the sheer handling of that little thing. He was 4 sec a lap faster than me. Only one faster than him was a heavily modified Evo with 275's R compounds and a C5 Vette with 315's R compounds.

Yea he needed a few driving lessons lol. If they were on R compounds they were faster, I matched lap times with a couple of them though.

and i was over half a sec faster than a Newer Stock M3

 

Yea its unnecessary but the car was quick

 

but so do most that own them. (though this car club has many great evo and sti drivers)

 

I should be getting more video footage soon. My buddy with his CRX taped my car from his from behind for a few laps. Also hoping to get more pictures soon too.

 

I wouldn't even think of taking my tl to the track. I'd be too afraid of blowing my tranny or busting a motor mount. However I am looking into an E39 M5, I know more expensive to repair and maintain but god they are sexy.

 

Looking good, but wow that's a really tight track. No wonder the CRX performed so well.

 

It was originally designed for shifter carts. But works well and has many configurations for us that make it fun. Auto-x on it is challenging.

 

you're my hero

 

Rockin stuff. I used to play with my Leegy like that but it looks like you kicked @$$!

Well done sir

 

nice driving man. I see you get the occasional snap oversteer that I've experienced. it's a bit scary

 

Its not that bad, Im pretty used to it, I was having to adjust the suspension and PSI constantly. When we started the Day it was mid 30's out, by time we got done and the track rubbered up a little it was 60. The car has pretty predictable oversteer. Its just that one part of the track where it crests changing direction where it upsets cars. Overall its a blast. Just need Better tires and brakes now.

 

I have a couple more vids, but i need to convert them from .mov and edit them.

Wow. I never knew that TL's could haul this much ass. Be proud of your car

 

In need of R compounds.

As many dont believe it its true, they can and do.

 

It has to be the CL-S LSD. I think that makes it day and night on this line up of Acuras.

 

I have said over and over the LSD is worth its weight in gold.

 

Now for winter to get here to get the ice racer out and go ice racing.

 

man .. i was watching your vids at a fellow azine's friend's house and man .. BIG props to you and you're gonna be a huge inspiration for those who are looking to do the 6spd swap (:

 

thanks. 6 gears rowing them yourself is well worth it.

So is signing yourself up for local Auto-x, lapping days or driving events!

 

That nice driving Kris

I need look for place like that around ATL

 

wow, looks like fun. awesome pics and video

 

also seriously considering doing that but with the wife's subie though up in georgetown here

and i want to do it like this...

Honestly a subie with studded tires would destroy that on the lake.

 

yeah i probably should have put that part in red text , but it would kill it in deep snow though


anyways got any pics of your ice racer...

New tires are being made that have 120 more bolts than the ones in the link above.

 

Incredible! The vid in post 58 shows almost no body roll.

 

Koni Shocks (H&R sport springs) and the Swaybars (front and rear) made a HUGE difference.

 

I think i like the vid in post 59 the best

 

mmm, wind noise.

But seriously, I agree with NJ SHAWD, you've got an impressive lack of body roll

 

I did springs and sways on the leggy and would lift up on turns on a regular basis. I wanted to go coil overs but sold her before I had the chance. This thread brings back some good memories man...thanks! Your tl kicks a$$.

 

It all depends on what springs/struts you buy. They each vary in bouncyness, stiffness etc...

 

All springs and shocks are not the same. I will never buy a spring other than H&R. They are the best.
