Ive hit the speed limiter on that road with my TL-P. When weather gets better (something where the air isnt so thick you could write your name in it) ill hit the limiter for you guys.

Stock the tl is governed to 130-133 remove it and goes up to 140-150 don't remember exactly but there was a thread on it years ago

You mean a computer simulation of top end rev limiter would look like if you were able to go such speeds on a us road

fsttyms1

The tlp has the same 149 limited the type s does. Thereby no way to remove it either

Started on my little project while waiting for some engine pieces to be machined.

Mark and cut trunk lid. I will be molding this to my existing trunk to make trunk kind of like the A Spec concept/m3csl style (i hope lol)







Carefully grind the lip thats folded over to seperate outer skin from inner

looking good so far, the fitment is going to be a bitch to get right, have any shots of the trunk on the trunk yet?

fsttyms1

so ive been told

fsttyms1

Nah, a little cutting here, some welding there and bam. DONE! I may go to the salvage yard and cut the rear corners of the 1/4 panels off to help mold it properly and make it flow better into the car.

... Why does an appraiser know how to do everything you know how to do?

fsttyms1

Im an appraiser by day, by night i am known as God! By just doing it. If you are afraid to do something you will never learn how. ive always taken things apart and put them back together, even as a kid. Just do it is what i like to do

pshh set up a 12x12 tent, about 3 or 4 $12 box fans from Walmart, and a cooler full of beer of your choice, and you can work outside all day

^ding ding ding we have a Weiner

fsttyms1

I have a 4000cfm (about 20 box fans equivalent) fan that wouldnt even make it cool. Though i have thought about adding AC to the garage Also i have a Refrigerator in the garage, no need for a cooler

Get a a small a//c unit that meant for placement in a window, works pretty good , or you could go really old school and get a block of dry ice and put it in front of a fan and you have a third world a/c unit

fsttyms1

FINALLY got a few hours to play in the garage. Started some shaping of the trunk lid piece

fsttyms1

Oh and

dreem1er

iTrader: (2)

damn more than 12 hours since you posted and no comment




looking good kris, looks like you have more projects going on than me

Karanx7

iTrader: (2)

Hmm, this'll be interesting. Wonder if it will look clean, or stick out too much.

dreem1er

iTrader: (2)

depends on how many beers he has during this project

fsttyms1

Yea strange. Guess im not around or update enough for people to care

fsttyms1

What do you mean stick out too much. Its not flared that much. It will be less than the 3rd gen concept.

Karanx7

iTrader: (2)

Right, but look at the side of the car above the taillight (rear fender?). That panel won't look flush with the extended trunk if the trunk sticks out too much.

Kind of like the Mugen spoiler having 3 pieces, so the whole thing blends in. I'm guessing you'll modify the side panel as well if it sticks out?

fsttyms1

it all depends if i curve the panel to mold back in by time it hits the quarters. Im not pulling it out that far. Most of the work is bending and contouring a small lip into it. Im going to work on it some more and see if ill pull the quarters out to match or curve it in to match up with them.
