looking great OP....

the candy red, stands out....

looking forward to the intake manifold install....

 

Nice...
I need to do the sway bar as well. Big fan of this car, just sucks you cant ride like that year round, the car is to good looking for it not to stay like that.

 

How do you feel about the new sway?

 

Def worth it!! Yea sucks! But I wouldn't be able to get anywhere once the snow starts hitting.. Also gives me a chance to either refinish the rims or go with a diff set for spring

The new sway is greatt!!i went withe softer setting for now and it feels nice and planted!! Also swapped out the end links for beefier Moog ones!! Def worth it

 

nice car bro!! black in black is sick
what size tires u running in the rear? any camber kits? and did u ever try to fit the rear rim up front? I'm thinking about doing a 9.5 +35.. with camber kits and strecthed tires. lmk thanks

 

One of my favorite TL's on the site.

 

Double check your plate blurring ;-)

 

Post moar pics!!!!!!!

 

lookin dope man. the only reason i would change my mind about black on black cars is yours cause i usually hate black on black. the rear end is so sick though nice job.

 

Just polish the headlight clean and your good to go. shouldnt need new ones. or send em to JnC!!!

I say order another set of your rear wheels and put them up front. the 2G TL fronts can take wide wheels quite well.

 

haha thanks yea already grabbed new heads and fogs.. updated pics are on page 2..

def good to hear though, this was my first stab at going low and stanced with an aggressive wheel setup... didn't wanna go too crazy at first without the experience.. def learned alot though.. and am looking to go more aggressive when spring rolls back around... appreciate the love though !! can't wait to see the work your putting in !

 

sorry, not a fan of the black on black.

Honestly, one of the best done 2nd Gens. Great job.

 

I love the way you have this car set up, I would love to rock those wheels on my TL. Gonna paint the top of the grille?

 

Nice! BUt damn why is that ATLP RUSTING!!!!!???? Those flanges aren't stainless steal?

 

you make me want to paint my black!!!

 

still havent put that manifold yet bro?

 

lol nopeee, everytime i think i have a free day to get it done something always pops up... also just grabbed some valve covers I'm getting powder coated so it makes sense to wait on them rather then tear it apart twice!

 

let me know if you need any help. let me know when you decide to sell the wheels im very interested in them

 

Looks fantastic man. I agree with every other compliment already stated. Need to vinyl wrap that hood piece of the grill so it's all black and wrap your door trim and handles. Trust me once it's alllll black it'll look even more amazing. I think it's the wheels that really set it off. The stance and size is just perfect. Well done

 

was messing around this past weekend.. some 60 degree weather in NY... looks like a new 9.5 square set up will be coming this spring... here my 9.5's from my rears up front.. jus need some camber

 

can't wait to see pics. What tires (width) you going with?

 

Because they're not as great as everyone makes them out to be

Not the first ATLP product I've seen rust badly(if that is rust), but I'm pretty sure they guarantee against it though.

 

i was too lazy to try my 18x9 in the front before i sold them i shouldve.

looks good though buddy

my atlp tips started rusting too.

 

not really rusting.. tips jus need a good cleaning.. flanges are a little rough... but I've had them seen the first batch so i think they've held up good for a couple years worth of NY winters (salt, snow, ice, etc.)

 

lol thanks man... yea 02actclean got my mind going a few posts up so i was experimenting a little... def gonna lead to a more aggressive setup this spring/summer lol

 

I think we're due for some more pictures! I'm sure you've been tinkering

 

But your setup is perfect!?

 

hehe, some tinkering, mostly legwork.. just sent a spare set of runners out to get ported, and trying to find a good powdercoater in my area to do valve covers/intake/strut brace/... so thats whats holding up my manifold install

gotta get back into winter mode this weekend, so stockies and raising/alignment.. snow will be here sooner or later

 

I like your stance the way it is.

 

Love it!

 

special delivery...

eibach front sway & and moog endlinks... front end links are starting to clunk.. figured might as well do the front sway while I'm down there... hopefully will get it in this weekend, but snow is in the forecast for saturday so we'll see... parts are starting to pile up, no bueno!!

 

 

ehh course its gotta be shitty weather when i get some free time for some installs... front sway gonna have to wait until next weekend... but i did get another nice delivery on friday...

Got my ported runners back from Paul ... looking nice, need to clean them up a little but can't wait to get these in along with the 09 manifold... search for a TB and VSA body to bore out is still ongoing

 

looks good bud you should send your tb to maxbore heard there pretty good and delete the vsa :wink:

 

probably what ill end up doing once i get my hands on a spare one... vsa light is on already anyway lol.

 

nice weather today

Eibach Front sway & Moog endlinks in and change cabin air filters.. insane how clogged they were..

 

and LOL

WOW never knew the filter could get soooo clogged up.....glad you changed it and great work on the swaybar....

 

another delivery... got my spare throttle body back... sent it out to maxbore to be bored out... excellent service.. turn around was barely a week! no problems no hassles...

 

^^^ ohhh you gonna love 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears

 

Yea.. Guessing I'm gonna get a nice bump with the bored TB, ported runners, and 09 manifold
