I'd love for TB Motorworx to make us a baffled oil pan, among other things.
Well you know what that means man, time to get your fab skills out and make one!

Hope you are still around and plan on posting more. Your thread is only worthwhile thread on this whole site, and only reason I come on here.

Hey Brian,

I think I'll run the car a couple times this summer hopefully but I don't think much will be changing setup wise. I do want to do the exhaust setup I've always wanted, so stay tuned for that. Hopefully Rich at RV6 will hook me up with a V3 jpipe!

I'll keep you posted with changes as they come.

Not sure how this is a douche comment. If I said my thread was only worthwhile then maybe.

My build is for autocross and track and this is only other track build on azine. Sorry if you got but hurt buy let's not jack his thread.

You should really preface your posts with "in my opinion"...otherwise you get to keep the douche comment.

So only posts/threads that cater to what you're interested in are worthwhile? I'm gonna say you and a the other members like you are a big part of the problem with acurazine and not part of any solution. If you tell me when you have an issue with your car, this isn't the first place you come look and take take take, but never bother to share or help when you find a solution...I'll also think you're a liar.

This thread can't exactly be derailed...Rex doesn't post much, if at all anymore. If you visited more, you'd know that.

I do agree though, BOT...this thread and Innacurate's were very fun to live through vicariously and I'd love to see more updates of new things found and videos at the track, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Pretty sure Tim is driving a lightweight 1G prius now.

I have contributed way more to this site than you have, including this build.

My build puts yours to shame.

3g TL forum is 99% douchbags.

Not cool man, Rockstar is one of the most respected members on here, just because you track you car doesn't mean your better than anyone else on here. I use both my TL and Integra for motorsport events, I've meet great people from attending those events and by just being friendly. The same applies here, we are all here for the same reason, we like (some love) Acura's, I think you need to be a little more open minded.

Now why isn't there an Integra section here? Wait that would bring more weirdos

Well given you weren't the one being a pretentious, arrogant prick, I think you could safely say I wasn't talking about you.

Just wanted to let you know that I will be taking some Queue's from you with my Honda Challenge build. I'll start a thread about it at some point, and I'll definitely link to your and Innacurate's threads. I appreciate the time and effort it took to make this thread. Thanks!

What's the story with the bumper lower grille mesh? It looks nice. Wondering if I could buy it somewhere.

It wasn't mesh, I covered the lower grill openings with fiberglass to feed air only into the brake duct.

Sad to see so much hard work be sold away, but thats what happens most of the time when life happens.

I have been building a silver 2005 6MT and have been referencing 3 pics of yours I found in a search in my build. Perhaps you still have the rollcage measurements? I am getting a chromoly 1-5/8" x .083 tube rollcage put in soon. It feels as though my TL is the new breathe of life following in your footsteps, as I have not seen your TL anywhere since you sold it.

Wish you would make your racing videos on youtube public, as I and many others would love to watch them and take pointers. I will be picking up your idea of a Rotrex supercharger kit and installing one that's waiting in a box.

Come hell or High water, I will carry on the baton. You will someday see the heights your TL could have achieved, even if no longer by your hands.

Also seemed that the original TL dieter got pissed when you surpassed him. After he made his DD vs. Track Dieter remark, he stopped posting in your thread.

Again, it was a pleasure reading your journey.

Maybe building the world's most annoying FWD car to drive wasn't his goal anymore.
or anyone's for that matter.

and @ the rotrex comment. Gotta let things go, Alex.

Guess not.

Think you misread my comment. He mentioned at about page 35 that he wanted more power via centrifugal supercharger. There will someday be on on the TL.

Don’t be so cranky in the morning. I still heart you

You think wrong.
but we already knew that, didn't we.

Alright, let's get the thread back on track although I wouldn't hold your breath for OP to chime back in.
FWIW I like that you're carrying the torch. Whether you take it to the next level or just follow in someone's footsteps
it's cool to be passionate about something.

Thinking is an opinion of the self. I zig when others zag. This makes me think differently, antagonistically at times, but wrong? No.

Not much to get back on track. This thread hasn’t been on track for 7 years.

Everyone needs a purpose for their time on the rock.
