17x8 45mm Motegi TrakLite V2's (14.5lbs)

Oh Sickest TL

iTrader: (3)

ok those are lighter than my advans so i take that back

TheTLProject

Same wheels as the "TL Diet". That's why I bought them

TheTLProject

Weighed the car early this morning, 3000lbs exactly. Took another 1.5 out after so I'm officially in the 2000lb club.

TheTLProject

I've removed about 72 lbs since I last went to the track and ran the 13.8.

Those decals look heavy...

^ +1

Those emblems look heavy too....

TheTLProject

Was one of the first things I did to the car. Now it's just for laughs.

you can get rid of that entire rear trim...the license plate screws directly into the trunk. you can eliminate all that in the back.

TheTLProject

How much does that weigh and do you have a picture of it removed

sockr1

iTrader: (5)

i can get that for you this weekend. but it's going to be more than 0 pounds so it will only help you

TheTLProject

Ive taken this whole thing way too far.

thoiboi

No turning back now!!!!!

iTrader: (8)

Did you even sell any parts from disassembling the whole car?

teh CL

iTrader: (1)

Don't ask...

TheTLProject

Not yet and I don't have everything anymore. Just the engine stuff and some random things like the front bumper and rear seat and passenger seat

BreezyTL

iTrader: (8)

So you threw it all away?

EvilVirus

iTrader: (8)

Nope he broke most of it like 95% of them

BreezyTL

iTrader: (8)

and there was a gofundme... I made quite a bit parting my car out and I still have plenty left to go! Could have all the extra mod money he needs if he would have been smart about it.

iTrader: (7)

buy my camshafts and be faster!

thoiboi

AND LIGHTER!!!


Best of both worlds

TheTLProject

But how am I going to tune the motor for that when flash pro won't work on the 04-06 base autos? ECU swap won't work either since it scans for the 07-08 trans and if it can't find it, throws a bunch of crazy lights

thisaznboi88

iTrader: (7)

I ran them in my untuned motor without issue pre-hondata flashpro when I was N/A. I also had Port and polished TL-S cylinder heads at the same time.

dynoooo

TheTLProject

Whats a good price quote for labor on this?

TheTLProject

And what were the gains over stock, or better yet how much of a gain would I see? I make 240 at the wheels on a dynapack right now

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

that won't be worth it unless you can put them in yourself.

Do you have ported manifold, runners and bigger TB? If not you should tackle that. Do some reading on DIYs and you can tackle the runners and manifold yourself. Send your TB to maxbore.

While you at it buy my xrl8 mounts to put down all that power

manifold AND pnp runners will hurt your gains...go one or the other not both. i've seen some threads on it (maybe even with dynos)

gnuts

iTrader: (1)

you don't have ported runners on the list. I don't see how that would hurt performance, especially since he's doing the 1/4 mile and is mostly using top end. I could see it hurting torque a little below like 3k rpm, but that wouldn't matter for him. At least gasket match them and get rid of all the nasty casting marks.

thisaznboi88

iTrader: (7)

it's actually when you add the mdx riser and Pnp that. The MDX riser has a taper on one side. Most people just port it to gasket match.

man your car is not even a luxury car anymore... It is gutted to death. lol

TheTLProject

To hell with luxury.
