TL BRAGGING RIGHTS.....whats your setup
yo i think it would be nice if there was a thread where you guys would describe whats on your TL, how much it costed, and approx horsepower. I just got a TL this weekend and really have no idea what to throw on it because theres so many different setups and prices flowing out there, i wanted to know what some of you guys threw on your car so i can get a general idea with more info, instead of just reading your signatures
example:
2001 3.2 tl type S
Comptech headers- $1200
comptech exhaust- $$$$$
CAI- $$$$$
etc- $$$$$
etc-$$$$$
est hp- 285
so far mine is
2000 3.2 TL
STOCK AS FUCk
example:
2001 3.2 tl type S
Comptech headers- $1200
comptech exhaust- $$$$$
CAI- $$$$$
etc- $$$$$
etc-$$$$$
est hp- 285
so far mine is
2000 3.2 TL

However, I don't think it's depressing. Honestly, if I hadn't spent it on the car, I would've wasted all of it at the bars. This way, at least I can enjoy the things I spent my money on, and have something to show for it.

Yikes, people on here actually use the Bosch platinum+4 spark plugs?
After the horror stories from the Explorer and Maxima forums about those plugs, they should be banned. Anyways from what I hear is that they get really hot and can seize on the aluminum block and plugs get stuck.
So its Heads uP
