So i got my CAI installed, and im LOVING it. but now i want to do something to my car thats noticable and will catch someones eye. So ive crossed out dropping my car a few inches cause i live in houston/galveston where theres quite of bit of floods, so then theres alot more elevated curbs, and i dont wanna be draggin my bumper all over the ground lol. and i think ill keep my stock rims too.

 

we have lots of houston members that are dropped.

 

well, your going to keep the stock wheels, and not drop it. Good luck catching someones attention. I guess you could plaster stickers all over it or give it a goofy hot pink paint job, or maybe bolt on a hideous body kit?

Id still go for a drop and rims. You can do a mild 1.75" drop that will make a world of difference. And unless you plan on driving in 10" of water you wont have a problem with the CAI. Dont let the internet horror stories scare you, and rain water wont get to the filter unless you completely submerge it.

 

Take a chainsaw and turn your TL into a convertible.
You'd separate yourself from the rest of us too!

 

take it offroading

 

I 2nd the dropped top tl.

 

Put on one of these!

 

Cut it in half, not only will you separate it from the rest on the road but also from itself

 

instead of dropping like everyone does ... raise it up and but some 22's on

 

lmao!!!!!

OP fails..

but thread is win.

 

i guess kudos for wanting to be different...

 

i live in galveston and im dropped, i dont drag my bumper at all you just gotta get into places diagonally lol the drop sets my car apart, its eaither that or because there is like three 2nd gen tls and like 3 cls

 

leopard print paint job.

don't think. just do it.

 

^ omg or go wit the big cat suit they put on fantasy factory!! big orange cat lol

 

make ur TL FLY

 

or do this to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTDNLUzjkpg eff the wet weather, add a snorkel and ull be set

 

side exit exhaust

 

Lol im seriously laughing at some of these... so i guess i should drop it? how much will it cost and whats the difficulty?

 

hahah my friend has a pink dodge pickup with stacks

 

F&F Type-I.. i'd say cheapest coils available that works pretty well for just daily driving

easy to install

 

then kit it.

 

like easy to install, on scale of 1 - 10, 3 being changing out your CAI. and can you adjust your ride height fairly easy?

 

if a CAI was 3.... then lost hope.


haha. jk


i'm gonna say CAI is 1/10...

coils is 3/10

adjusting..

if you can count and measure..

0.1/10

 

Hmmm. 6 speed swap was 3 for me.... so that would make an intake -10 and coils -5. its so easy, it practically does it itself. At least in my garage.

 

Well ima 16 yr old kid who doesnt know crap about cars... i barely got my cai on hhahah and i quit with the drop when i saw u hafta remove the backseat... prolly gonna go with the rims now.

 

order these



or maybe these, they come in 2 colors =D

 

you're crying over removing the back seat?!


thats like.. easier than installing a CAI

 

the hell.. can i haz your garage

 

The whine of a supercharger turns my head

 

and i love turtles

 

A nice custom interior will seperate you from everybody else.

 

^ yes it will


and installing coils is not a 3 when your like most people and dont have the proper tools and every fucking bolt in your entire car is seized leading to hours and hours of fighting and cursing and frustration just to unbolt a muffler. or maybe thats just me...

road salt does wonders

 

I guess us californians dont have to worry about rust, especially up here in the high desert.

For me, removing the rear seat is like undoing a chicks bra. Its hard at first, but with practice its a snap.

 

^ yeah you are definitely on point with that simile

 

Add a "Cops Suck" bumper sticker.

 

Its not a matter of quick its raining turn a wrench and presto the car is higher. Every time you adjust the height you should get an alignment as it will mess with the TOE setting and can cause wear on your tires.

 

None of my salt laden suspension bolts were hard to remove either

and My back seat isnt even bolted in. I remove it so often i just leave the bolts out. 15 seconds and i can have the entire back seat out.

 

All my bolts under the car are siezed mishaped circles lol.
I guess it depends on where you live.

 

You dont have Oval sockets???

 

^This. He speaks words of great wisdom. The only way i was able to do my 6 speed swap was because of him.

Thats how my 2nd Gen was too lol. No need to bolt the seats down.
