Hey everyone, so Im new to the the site and have so many questions. ...I was reffered to this forum from a guy i know, not sure if he is a member on here. Anyways, I dont know where to start. I have a 2003 3.2TL-S. It is fully stock, other than a K&N air filter and aftermarket turn signals, front and rear. Other than that, I want to do whatever I can to it, no matter what. Money isn't a problem, as i am military and save a lot of it. For all of you out there who have done "things" to your TL or TL-S, let me know what I can do. Thanks, any info would be appreciated...

 

Aftermarket turn signals? Do you mean bulbs or some additional light you installed? Anyhow just read around on here, theres a few threads in the main 2nd gen thread listing that are fairly new that should help you.

 

Visually, I think 19s, OEM or WW kit, tint, and a drop are the best things exterior wise. The motor is mainly bolt-ons for these cars, but they are pretty quick anyway. Check these sites. www.heeltoeauto.com www.autocarparts.com www.nopionline.com www.modacar.com hell, try ebay! lol.

 

I actually went to www.autocarparts.com and found a few things, they seem legit, ....as far as the exterior goes, i didnt know WW made a kit for the tl, hmmm....will have to look into that. thanks a lot guys for the replies.

 

Yeah my bad, i just meant the bulbs, the rear turn signals were a bit tricky but they fit....

 

AEM V2 intake, headers (a few to chose from), custom Magnaflow cat back exhaust, spacers, UR pulley, Tein SS-P coilovers, Eibach front & rear sways, Cusco lower brace, Cusco (or similar) thicker upper strut bar, keep your wheels (don't bother w/ any 19 or 20 balla wheel crap), high performance tires, big brake kit (slotted/cross drilled rotors) w/ EBC Green Stuff pads... OEM kit front & sides, WW rear lip. M3/5 rear deck lip. 20% tint, cool margarita, HID fog conversion w/ 6000k bulbs, 6000k headlight bulbs. Call it a day.

 

Sweet. Simply sweet. I am looking at an Injen cold air intake, Cusco front sway bar, Apexi WS cat-back exhaust, DC Sports headers. Thats about what i am getting now, now all i need to do is find the time to install it all.........lol.......where did you get the HID Fog conversion kit? Thanks for the reply.....

 

My 19s are really not a whole lot heavier than my stock 17s....I didnt notice a performance loss. I wasn't aware that 19s made me a "balla". hmm. BTW, most big brake kits wont even fit in stock wheels.

 

Stay away from the DC header. The members on here have had better luck with the XS header, like myself.

 

either xs or comptech. but the comptechs are hard to find since the company went under and cost a lot. id say drop/kit/ i/h/e/s/ a UR underdrive pully you should be able to make some good hp outa ur tls. maybee even a supercharger or nitrous if you want a good kick in the pants

 

Yeah, a Comptech Super is probably going to come last, thanks i'll look into them. And yes, the TL-S is pretty beefy stock, (well, considering that i had a Mitsu Lancer before i bought my TL-S) I
never really knew that you could do so much to a TL-S.....thanks for the advice....

You have a website where I can find them @?

http://app.infopia.com/Shop/Control/...id/0/SFV/31982 here ya go do a search on them, the gaskets that come with them suck, you will want to use oem gasket and Orings.

 

Got it, thanks.........

 

What is the best, all around cat back exhaust out there for the 03 TL-S? I was looking at an APexi WS series exhaust but it is back ordered in Japan for ATLEAST 60 days....that sux.....any info would help..........

 

so i just ordered my XS headers from ss autochrome. man are they a good price. I read somewhere that the gaskets and o-rings are shitty, to use the OEM ones, can anyone confirm this? Please? Thanx in advance

 

I have also heard that. I would use OEM.

 

Thanks. Are the ones I a\have now good to re-use or just get newer OEM ones from a dealership?
