I believe the starter button is about 80 dollars and install was 2 hours of labor.

For people who want to know, the red button is the starter, the one next to the brightness adjust is the remote bottle opener for my bottle, and the blue one is the purge button.

Car looks nice! I like the drop, perfect! One gripe though, that carpet looks like my dog took a dump on it and rolled around in it for a while! Just kidding, I'm kinda anal about my interior, so I always apply that to others and probably shouldn't! lol Car looks great, like the color, don't see too many TL's that color, especially modded.

accordv6: hehe, sorry man, it's been snowing here and the snow finally melted but I haven't got time to clean the interior...

badazzTL: the car was hit in November last year, I got it back on the last week. It's about 3 and a half months, not too bad I guess. and as for the license plate, I love it too, hehe. Many V8 domestic drivers have seen that including some C5 Corvettes. And a 2001 Yellow NSX almost saw it, but we ended up neck to neck in quarter mile.

Mike: thanks man!

ACURA-TL: thanks! I might get wheels this summer but I don't think I'll go for bodykit... it's extra weight I don't need!!!

Edr0e: hehe, yep! I like to be a sleeper. too bad the supercharger does not fit on TL-P, I was gonna get that instead of nitrous...

Haha, I was just playing with you. I know the feeling of the snow! What saved me this season was the purchase of the OEM all season mats, makes things much easier to clean up. Car is still looking great!

How's those 225/55 tires?.....I need to get new tires for my TL and i'm thinking I might want to go wider... I wasn't aware that you could fit different tires on the stock rims. What is your opinion?

Also, how much nitrous are you running?...is it direct-port or dry?
How much was the tru-power pulley and is it worth it?

EDub: thanks dawg

this is me: thank you thank you!

accordv6: hehe, I'm thinking about gettin new floor mats and the "mats for mats" thingy...

Cobrax420: I like my tires, I didn't want to get rims (keep the sleeper look) so I got wider tires, no problem with my H&R Sport springs. for the nitrous, I'm running 75 shot at 3000RPM at full throttle. love it. I went to the track and got a 13.5 @ 104MPH. I'm gonna get some nitto 555's and see if I can pull a faster time. (my sixty foot was 2.5) The Venom 2000 nitrous is technically dry (no fuel mixed with nitrous), but since the computer taps into the injectors, it tells'em to send more fuels so that makes up for it. as you can see in the pic, the nitrous goes in the intake, not the intake manifold. and for the pulleys, I don't know, I think it is cuz off the bottle I beat my friend's TL-S all the time. from stop or on the roll. the reason I don't know is because I did headers/intake/exhaust/pulley at the same time, I didn't go one by one... but I think my engine revs faster. so... the pulley kit, I bought it from Shoof for 100 bucks shipped. I'd say if you want to get pulleys, get the Unorthodox pulleys. I have those on my 300ZX and they're a lot lighter so should deliver more power.

What size nitto's are you going for? the same 225/55??

I've done the intake and exhaust and I want to get the headers but they are so damn expensive. If you don't mind, where did you get the headers and pulleys (specifically) and how much did it cost to install?? same with the nitrous system....oh, and how's the ride / handling with the springs???

PS. I really like your ride....it's serving as a guide for some things that I want to do with mine.

dnd2984: yep, those are the crossovers! and thank you

cobrax420: I'm gonna stick with 225 for sure, but I'm planning on getting some Center Line RPM rims (13 lbs for 17", 14 for 18") with Nittos so I'm not sure which size I'm gonna get. I got everything except the nitrous on here... I got the nitrous from summit racing and that includes all the nitrous accessories I have. install for headers was 200, nitrous was 350 because it's all custom. and that included tuning the nitrous. ride/handling... I like it, it's a bit tighter but doesn't lose the ride quality. the only thing is I need to get new shocks or go for coilovers. cuz stock shocks I think they're going out. that's what happens when you get just springs. hehe... and thank you for the compliment and I'm gald I can contribute something on this forum.

that would be the purge for the nitrous. when I line up to race, I let the nitrous out of the line because some of it is liquified. I want pure gaseous nitrous so I clean the line by purging it and that's where the nitrous comes out when I purge.
