What are your guys plans for your 3G this spring?I have a few items on my list I wish to finish as summer starts.

Priority list

Get new front and rear tires and a tpms sensor.
Get my bumper painted and dent on hood fixed.
Cold air intake and 50% windshield tint.
Lowering springs and RSB.
Last would be to vinyl roof gloss black and rims gloss black.


After that I consider myself done. I hope to stay with the car another two years, by that time I should have 70k miles and would trade it in for f30 335.

 

I'm looking to install the A-Spec that's coming from Ack's GB. Also I have my tail lights coming from Ack. So I have to get those installed. I am looking at headlights from JnC so that would be pretty sweet. I'm also installing my aluminum pedals and trunk lip...hopefully this wknd! More to come this summer....hopefully drop, CAI and black rimz.

 

I am thinking about having my headlights done by jnc or ack, doing switchbacks and sidemarker switchbacks. I would also love to get a set of engraved pedals and check out the new ATLP J-PIPE. The mod bug is starting to hit me again.

 

I really want an Aspec kit but I want to find a CBP one since Acura discontinued the color I can't go buy one. So...

Aspec kit (CBP)
lowering springs
Progress RSB
vinyl roof
roor visor
Type S license plate bracket
wheel spacers

The suspension items will probably happens before anything else since I'm a corner junkie. Aspec kit will happen last unless I find a deal.

Once I PCS and have some extra income the list will include...
RV6 HFPC
RV6 V3 jpipe
RV6 True Duel

and I'm tossing around the idea of a super charger.

 

- Aspec Kit
- Quad Tips
- HT Spec V2 Type 1
- Ingalls rear camber/toe
- 18x8.5 Aspecs freshly painted graphite

 

Ideally I want to pay this damn car off

Everything I want is too expensive, so I think I'll get some new camera stuff.

 

-Put my set of new wheels on .
-Install Progress RSB with Ingalls rear end links.
-Ingalls rear camber kits.
-Personalized plates.

Probably more stuff during Summer time.

 

-Tsw nurburgings 19x8.5 or 19x9.5
-RL calipers / new rotors
-J&R Ecu maybe... gotta do a bit more research

 

window tint, maybe iSimple and then i'm completely done with the car and will throw money towards the principal.

 

Cams
Head work
ECU
Bigger injectors
Possible higher flow fuel pump
60-70 horses LOL

Lets see how things pan out....

 

always try to be the first one huh?

 

^^^ cant take the credit for this one bro....

Andy has a stage 2 cammed Base 5AT TL, which he sold and moved all the mods to the Type S 6MT....

Yes, I dont believe anyone else has it....if all goes good, 350whp here i come....i dont think any Base 5AT NA engine has gotten to 350....Andy was close to 330 or 340

 

Nothing. Was planning on new wheels but that didn't work out. Just finished spending $3k in mods.

Going to save money for Medical School. :/

 

This weekend - oil change, 6MT transmission fluid change (yes, GM Syncromesh), brake fluid flush, and maybe even power steering drain/fill.

Call me 'old skewl'...

 

sell my old '05 TL in order to pay off my Type-S.

THEN....


new tires
a-spec (if I can get a CBP)

and *maybe* ATLP quads if I can get my hands on them.

 

Possibly:
Getting new wheels if I can sell my 5Zigens
New rotors and pads
Powder coating my 5Zigens black if I can't sell them
Wheel spacers if I don't get new wheels

For sure:
Thule roof rack
Painting calipers (green)
Green lug nuts
Going to try to go ~.25" lower than last summer if I can manage to DD that ride height.
Tint (back is already 35% from when I bought the car. Debating if I should get the front matched or if I should have it all torn off for 20% all around).

 

waiting to get my new XXR 530's 18x8.75 +20 in chromium black
OEM TPMS
new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires
H&R lowering springs
6K LED switchbacks (already soldered the 0.12 ohm resistor)
new LED reverse lights (i have cree now)
LED DRL's
Morimoto 6K bulbs for headlights and fogs
new LED Angled Flank license plate bulbs ( i have 360 bulbs now)
redo 20% tint

 

Just 6000K HID for fog that all for now. My main focus is to pay the car off first prior to modding.

 

Man, thats what I was hoping to leave my car stock and then couldn't stop the mod bug lol.

Want to get 5k interior LEDs, RV6 HFPC Ceramic Coated and have preordered the ISC N1 Coilovers.

 

Like so many others.... Too many mods to do and so little money to go around... Buttttt J-pipe, and tbs for starters

 

New coilovers.
New wheels.
New stance.

......new rear bumper hehe

 

I'll probably swap the suspension for the 6 speed one I have sitting in my garage. Other than that....nothing.

 

Pads + Rotors
Painted Calipers

 

Getting my license in April (Yes, I'm only 15 ) and will be taking my mothers '06 TL! So excited, even though the insurance is up to me and that is going to kill my savings. My planned mods for the upcoming few months are probably going to be very minor.

I really want to look into a roof spoiler.

After that, I am looking into a carbon fiber Type-S shift knob (pretty minor, but I love CF) and possibly an iPod connector such as iSimple.

Once I save up enough, I really want to look into the A SPEC kit for my RBP TL, even though that probably won't be a long time.

 

full exterior detail which consists of a wash, polishing, polymer wax, then a carnauba wax. as for mods, i'm fairly happy right now and in maintenance mode. perhaps i'll replace some of the burned out steering wheel lights.

 

Damn you're lucky.

 

Does the throttle body mod give any gains, what are the benefits if you already have a CAI?

Wow, you must be the youngest TL driver on here lol.

 

Wheels

 

New rear pads/rotors, new tires, and some good detailing. Getting her ready to be sold this summer. Ideally looking for something with AWD as I'll be living in Michigan this fall.

 

Gains are 2-4 hp. It's more beneficial in summer months when heat soak lags the engine of cooler air. I would assume it would be the same with or without a cai. Several members claim that the stock intake is essential a cai

 

1. aspec kit
2. custom VIP style interior wont get into details
3. clear headlights
4. body and paint work... again wont get into details
5. maybe new wheels (this may or may not happen depending on a few factors)

 

Maybe painted calipers

Maybe spacers


Maybe....

 

Getting feders rolled
pnp mani/runners/boerd TB
19x9.5

probably going to get more camera gear since I have started photography classes. Already have nikon D7000, tamron 28-75 f2.8, sigma 10-20 f3.5, 35 f1.8, SB-800.

Need another SB-800, 24"x24" softbox, nikon 70-200 VR f2.8, and a better tripod.

 

Going to be spending to much this year....
XLR8 motor mounts
XLR8 torque damper
XLR8 coilovers 14/10
Clutch and lwfw (havnt decide on which brand yet, maybe clutchmasters or XLR8's)
Progress rsb
Type s fsb
Comptech short throw
Skunk 2 shifter knob
Ht spec shifter bushings
Paint stock wheel (undecided on color)
Maybe some new tints depending how things go

 

How do you like the Tamron 28-75 f2.8? I was thinking about picking that up for my next lens.

 

-pump the tires
-wash it
-vacuum interior
-oil change around april
-change air filter

 

Maintain it (nothing needed now but oil changes)
Wash it when needed
Drive it.

It's as modded as it's going to get for quite a while.

 

I've talked to a few 16 year olds on here before. Pretty cool finding teens who use these forums. I consider myself so lucky, but my parents are okay with it because I will be paying for gas and insurance. Easy trade off in my opinion

 

tint and detail

 

-h&r sport springs
-navtool with ps2 and back up camera
-moleskin and new tint
-swap out all fluids
-DRL project in place of my old integrated fog lights
-finally replace all the burnt bulbs in the car
