Anil I am head over heals for those headlights! I'm not keen on copycat...but DAMN.. I WANT!

 

Thank you kind Sir....

Can you change the thread title to page 31 LOL....i accidentally asked you to put page 32

haha Thanks man....really appreciate the kind words....i got a ton of imperfections....the photographer did very well to hide them

I was hoping you wouldnt read that LOL...

but imma resist the temptation

well i am kinda bored of these headlights....i might be in to try something new....let me know if you are interested

and Thanks a lot for orchestrating this....any help you need, you know the 10 digits

 

I don't want to come off as bashing, but safety is the utmost of importance when doing any mod. What I am about to say comes from my experience in racing oval track cars (and building them). Your shoulder harnesses in your car are A) WAY too long to be effective B) the mounting point is too low and 90 degrees out of alignment. If you are in an accident this setup will not do you much-if any-good. It will allow too much forward movement due to the length of the harness and the improperly installed mount. In fact, the mounts will bend and could break. Also, it could compress your spine due to the steep angle of the harness. To do a proper install you would need a roll bar behind the front seats and mount the shoulder harnesses with no more than a 10 degree angle down (never up) from your shoulder height. The mounts should be in the direction of pull on the belts (or a wrap around harness around the role bar). Again, I am not hating or bashing, I just cringe when I see installs like this. There are very specific and narrow windows of which to install harnesses such as these. Did you install 5 point harnesses, or simply 4 point? I enjoy your daring attitude towards modding your car, keep up the great work

 

This car looks good and sounds good.

 

BlueRacer....thank you sooo much for the info....and you are NOT coming across bashing....i love constructive criticism....

as i mentioned earlier I encountered a ton of issues with the interior swap and it got to a point where i put it back together in a piss poor manner....

I will be getting a harness bar (roll bar behind the seat) and install that...i might not be getting a roll cage but I will be getting that harness bar....

again thank you for the info....

I see what you did

Thanks Steve....

 

Steve,
I'm glad you didn't take offence. When I built my race cars I spent a lot of time installing the seats and belts (these were fully fabricated framed circle track cars with composite bodies). I would go to http://simpsonraceproducts.com/ and check out their instructions on harness installs. Or www.schrothracing.com/ Schroth Racing has a lot of products for club racing and sedan cars so they might have even better instructions and ideas for your TL. Good Luck!

 

No armrest

 

Why no sound clip of that SRI !!!!!!

 

You car is so sweet man. Why keep the rear door panels?

 

OMG...I laughed out loud at blueracer thinking Anil's name was Steve...
great post overall though...always good to have safety feedback!

 

Thank you soo much buddy....I really appreciate your help....

Btw my name is Anil

I wish I was Steve....kids done with college, looking to buy a Lambo....yes I wish I was Steve

LOL no armrest....and honestly, I dont miss it at all....the only thing i miss is my cup holders....

will post it up....I have been lazy as fuck....someone come and get me off the damn cough over the weekends....

Thanks a ton mah man.....I do not have the rear door panels....I had em at the time of the meet but I took them off recenetly

lol just human

whats up with thee?

 

^^^^ LOL...thanks Anil. Just got married, beautiful wife. Great friends on Acurazine. Good looking Type S. Yes, sometimes-it's good to be Steven.....

 

Steven...you're a Senior Mod (not because of your age)...EVERY day is a good day to be Steven.

Anil...love how you're getting love for the headlights now after so much flak. I have to admit, although initially I was like WTF...the more I see them in good pictures, the more they've grown on me.

J.

Also, your interior doesn't look THAT bad for as much weight as you've removed from the interior.

 

Holy mother of cars!!! the inside of your car is almost naked and that cold air is huge!!! O.O

 

HEY...I spy a bumper decal. I didn't know you ended up getting that!

 

you got it....

Thanks Jeremy....i am looking at doing something different with them now , I bet it will be overdoing it.....if i get a set for cheap i might try it out

about the interior....it looks hideous man....I have been procrastinating my "custom" dash....i need to get off my ass and finish that project....when am done, it shall be a lot better looking....

LOL....yeah she is naked....she has lost couple more lbs since that pic....

haha yeah thats a big ass SRI....

I dont have a bumper decal

I painted the edges of the word "ACURA" with SSM....i did that almost 4 years back....I would actually love to get the bumper decals....the more i look at Aarons thread the more I want to get one....it has really grown on me

 

Loving the fog's need to do mine like yours,
Plus the rest of the ride is Very Nice , Great Job !!!

 

Nice paint...Car looks great!

 

Bro...why don't you do the same setup as headlights to the fogs?
narrow and stragiht wide?

Might look better when both match

 

He's trying to get away from those headlights, I believe.

 

Yeah, then after those shots with NSX, I think changed his mind but I don't know
did you go back again Anil haha

Nice avat. picture J

 

Thank you...i try

has a load of imperfections and I will give the credit to the photographer on that....

I was thinking about it but didnt want everything looking "boxy" if you will....but as Rockstar said, I do have something different in mind and i might sell those lower fogs

yeah i might do something different to these headlights....

 

in the meantime this is what i have been putting up with

2nd gear, foot on the throttle 50-60% (not all the way down), i hit vtec and wheel spin ....i tried the same thing on 3rd gear and the results were exactly the same....am i really spinning 2nd and 3rd gears when vtec kicks in?

I have mixed feelings on this one as I am happy this happens but then again i hate that this happens....

I am running 235/40/18 Firestone Indy 500 UHP Summer tires....they handle amazingly well....


excuse the exhaust drone, am trying something new

 

Hmm thats cool
I don't know much, just guessing but, if too much power at that point, wouldn't that be a problem with ECU?

Not sure if it's a problem with VTEC but I don't think so

ECU>VTEC>VSA(maybe)

I thought about car being light but if samething happens at 3rd gear... hmmm

 

^^^ I feel wheelspin

 

I got it but is VTEC that powerfull to spin the wheels at 3rd?
If it was only 2nd gear, I was going to say power to weight ratio

and floor that bish

 

^^^ i thought my tires were messed up but I barely have 4000 miles on em....and they are rated as the best Summer tires....

i was gonna leave her in D and see if the problem replicates....it feels like the car is pulling away from me....and I dont have a CEL for the rocker arm/VTEC/etc....the only CEL I have is for the EGR delete...

 

 

That's really high in RPM's to be losing traction...
That happens to me but only when I punch it in 1st around 3-5K rpms...then if I shift fast to 2nd too...but for much less time.

What about if you have VSA off?

 

exactly my thought....rpms are too high for loosing traction plus am not punching it....i have the throttle down ~60%....not more than than....

if i have my VSA off I wont be able to detect wheelspin....will try that and see if i can feel wheelspin....but yeah this happens in 3rd as well....exactly the same way....

 

Damn swoosh car looking sexy

 

whats up Nelson....I was just gonna post in your thread....

Thanks for the complement dude

 

Swoosh-when did you get the gauge cluster changed? I must have missed that! That is an '07 or newer cluster, isn't it? Wheel spin in third? Interesting.......

 

Anil, I hope I didn't miss it and I forgot to ask you about it at lunch yesterday.

What's the latest with your ECU?

 

Yes I have the 07+ cluster gauge....

You can purchase them from USR and they very simple to install and simply overlay on the 04-06 and work perfectly well

I have the ECU but am waiting on couple other things from Rodney....then another mod by the end of September and after than imma lay low for a while

 

get the back door panels out!!! well the door panels.. however you need to keep the power window switches connected if you want to roll down your windows... the annoying part is since you removed the panels you have no where to put them! .. how fat are you now... I mean how much does your care weigh now?

 

Feji I have removed the rear panels....and yeah i removed the switch along with it....and now I cannot roll my windows down but imma find a way to do it as all the connections/electricals are in the door itself....

here is the weight loss from my spreadsheet:


719.60 TOTAL PLANNED
612.20 DONE
107.40 COMING LATER….will take some time, but will be there

3626.80 Starting Weight
3014.60 Current Static weight
2916.60 Current Dynamic Weight

 

great job man, I got un-inspired for a sec but rereading your thread and inac thread has me inspired again.. just been a busy damn summer to get anything done, hopefully my weekends are free again come september.. looking forward to some of your future mods
