Washed & Waxed My TLS (Plus Extra)

Nothing special, I just washed and waxed my car and took pics with our new car to the family. Enjoy!






Thanks

God I love that S2000... I have been wanting an S2000 for myself since like forever. One day I'll be the proud owner of one... one day.

I think getting the Teins installed was the money well spent. It's not really stiff at the lowest setting, but comparison to the stock it is. At that setting, car somewhat handles like a sports car (relativley speaking) considering the weight and size of TL. Also at the softest, it still like what it did with stock suspension. So I can have both tunning with push of a button. As for the Mugen Spoiler, I think it completes the shape of TL. I really like it!

Thanks for your comments!

killercalf - The cars look great; a bodykit on your TL would definitely give the car the more aggresive look. Let me ask you a quick question about the Tein's. How low do you have the car in the pics you posted? The reason I ask is that my g/f recently put Tein SS on her car and at the highest position, the car still looks slammed. I wanted to know if this would be the same case with the TL setup. Thanks in advance.

Mine is about 1.5" lower compared to the stock ride height on both front and rear. What car does your g/f drive? I believe I can lower 1" or so more, if I wanted to slam it. I hope that answered your question, if not, let me know.

By the way, your TLS looks sharp! What drop are you on? Also how much did you pay for that roof spoiler?

killercalf - Right now I have the H&R sport springs w/ Koni adjustables. I have a brand new set of Teins sitting here, but I'm not sure how soon I'll be getting them installed. I just didn't want the car to sit too much lower than what it is now since I don't want any problems rubbing on the 19's. So let me make sure I have this right - By installing the Teins and having them at the highest setting, the car sits about 1.5" lower than stock?

BTW, my g/f drives an 02' RSX rebadged as Honda Integra. And the roof spoiler came from Sarona Designs for about $300 unpainted.

No that's not what I meant, I'm sorry for vague asnwer. The Teins are shorter to begin with compared to stock. At the highest setting on Teins (ride height wise), it'll be about same as stock ride height (I believe, someone please correct me if I'm wrong). I have mine set at 1.5" lower from the highest setting, so roughly 1.5" of drop from the stock suspension. I hope this make it clear for you. If not please let me know, I'll try to explain it little better somehow.

You're welcome. Once you get Teins installed, please post some pics.

I feel sick, that is what I want my driveway to look like. A ABP TLS and a NBP S2000. They both look really nice.

No problem killercalf, if you ever feel like you don't need that S2000, or just feel like giving it for charity- I'll take it off of your hands
