our crew took home
best infinity
best mercedes
best audi
best 4 door mild class

i did not take home any trophy, but i kinda know it by looking at the judge's face during judging, he probably don't know what i change on the car, is a mainland show so i guess they are not used to clean style.

all of us got a free set of tires from dunlop. they sponsor our crew for the HID show.



pics taken by fellow pimplux member, i will post my own pic later

that is a NICE ASS TL!

AsianRage

You didn't win? That means that the judge shouldn't have been judging.

Very nice car. Could you take pics of every mod you've done?

REV-01

you notice i did not put judges, i put judge is because they only have 1 judge per car, it sucks because if the judge don't know much about import tuning then my car could easily assume is stock, my score is based on his opinion only, alot of friends called me to congrats me but i told them i did not take home anything. this is the first show i went home empty hand.
i guess my judge is into more flashy stuff such as custom paint, lambo doors and conversion plus neon and APC, nice clean mods make him think is stock.

fixedtl

very nice ride man.

REV-01

i don't think i took every pic of my mods, but you can see my older pics in this link:

njzprettyboy

thanks man,,,,what do you think about the last, the rays lexion 6 spoke ones?? look like the carlsson 1/6...chk the last pics...post up in there, let me know man...thanks a bunch

REV-01

i saw it in vipcar and vipstyle, if you got those i think you will only have about 1 inch lip though even in low disk.

my favoite is the skipper legend with those wheels, so vip:

njzprettyboy

yeah that shit is def. pimpin...ch my post lol....im not getting the exact carlssons...rahter the rays lexions....whihc look identical, but bigger dish....

REV-01

dish is based on offset, even if you ordered the benz one you will not have too much lip, i can tell you all my rims's dish is not much

volk III prestige 18x8 +41, 1.2 inch
work ls 19x8 +50, 1.5 inch
work kh 19x8 +45, 2.7 inch special ordered O disk
zauber gettin 18x7.5 +51, 1.2 inch
mahdi casear ts5 19x8 +45 1.8 inch
ssr minevra 19x8 +49 super low 1.5 inch
ssr stusse 18x8 +41, 1.2 inch

some that i have don't even have lip period

njzprettyboy

yo rev, i got that figure off the rays site....they used to be sold under a name called arthur exchange...check it out if you can, i may be mistaken...also, do you rub with the +45?? you think i would be ok to drop the car to the floor when parked with no rubbing? thanks man, youve been a great help///

PS--you got ALOT of wheels..

chk it out..

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...i?modelName=CD

REV-01

looks like the highest is 45 with 57.6, about 2.3/2.4 inch lip, the spoke curves in, that is where the lip comes from, go for it

REV-01

the first set of wheels for the car was the volk III back in 2001, because is a +41, i already rolled the fenders and trim the bumper back then, but since then i always try a different set what is the max/limit is, with the work kh slam, it doesn't rub before with the nitto, but couple days before the show i put on the dunlop and rub very slightly, because the sidewall design on the dunlop is wider than nitto even they are same size at 225/35/19, i just let the tire to do the trimming on the bumper for me, the bumper is the only part that rub, not the fender, if i want i could adjust my camber kit to fit, but i want to let it rub so later i could try 8.5 stretch, some of my friends is into drifting, they always call my rims weak, because of the high offset and width, they run 225 on a 9.5 inch, i like that look and always see them in vipcar, i want to try a 225 on a 8.5, with the lip almost touch the back fender and the tire tuck inside.

njzprettyboy

yeah, i had 18 by 8.5 for about two years on mine...when i dropped it, it tucked in beautifully....and the offset was +45...no rubbing problems once i trimmed the bumper, and i didnt even need to roll the fenders...AND i ran a 225 40 18...you may wanna check out my old pics, maybe see if they help you out...but, i kinda want to use a 235 35 19...you think it would rub with a 45 ot on 8" wheel...the NJ roads SUCK, thats why i want 235 instead of 225, plus they only make the T1S in 235 hehe...

here is a nice pic that show it off

just wanted to use the canada smiley haha

REV-01

with the extra 10 mm i think you might rub, but since you are on air, and you have no camber kit, looks like a 50/50 chance, hawaii road is just as bad, but i like stretch look more

MADCAT

I think this Lexus is stilll a sexy beast after all these years.

jleon2516

hotness!
forget the judge man he doesn't know what he's looking at.

dark inspire

wikid Rev! is are those just exhaust tips or Neuspeed or Mugen?

REV-01

authenic dual twin loop mugen, every single mugen mod is on the car except suspension

dark inspire

do i have a good eye or what! u got the Mugen Seats? :P

car_lost

as always... I LOVE your car... and damn, you got a lot of wheels!! send me a set you're not using!!!

as for njz... there are a few people that have recently posted pics that are running 19x8.5 +45 offset w/o rubbing. they have the fenders rolled... but they are running 225 series tires. they are boku and pdx3.2tl.

boku:

axis milano


pdx3.2tl:

axis hiro


my suggestion: unless you have access (or enough $$$ to do trial and error) to the wheels you want so you can test fit them, go with something you KNOW will fit. good luck.

REV-01

what i mean is available for the ua5, not universal mugen parts.

car_lost

in that case, you're still missing the grille and front spoiler but thats okay cuz they only made it for the '99-'01

why didnt u go with the mugen coilver kit?

REV-01

i used to have a brand new mugen grille for 99-01, dark DJ was interested at that time, but i sold it to the highest offer member.

mugen don't make coilover for our car, but they have sport suspension, only drop 1 inch from stock

dark inspire

yeah i remember that! how much did u end up sellin it for Rev?

@cUr@-TL

wow the judge sucks!! you shouldve walked to him and tell him more about the mods... the car looks great, and i checked your acurainspired garage and there's a lot of mods on that sweet machine!!

REV-01

close to 300 shipped

car_lost

oh, i thought what they made (for the TL) was coilovers. it looked liek it from the pics on kingmotorsports.com. i guess it includes the shocks.
