You can pretty much buy a holder to fit any OPTIMA battery. I would recommend the 35 series red top or D35 Yellow top if you feel like having a sense of security for $40 more. Redtop is perfect, but yellow top is the best and can handle just about anything.

FedEx in my case. If it weren't for that, I'd at least have started my install.

I keep looking at my TL on jackstands with no bumper calling me to drive it!

Hi speed

Looks like the stock engine mounts interfere with the front turbo pipe. My guy forgot about the Excelerate engine mounts in the trunk and was trying to grind down the top of the OEM mount. He was happy to see me and my aftermarket mounts when I went by at lunch. Not that anyone should be rockin the stock mounts with 400+ LBS of TQ, but just so people know, you will need aftermarket engine mounts. I know this was built around the innovative mounts, but I am hoping the Excelerate mounts clear the front pipe. I should be fully done wednesday. I am doing clutch and timming belt at the same time to ensure everything is ready. Pulling the blower and installing the turbo while keeping track of all the blower pieces and not using them in the turbo install is tough.

thanks for the update

I got the wrong sized clutch disc, so we will have delays. Looks like the rest of the install is going good. I can't believe no one else makes a disc for the TL. Thank god for P2R. I will try to take some pics tommorow of the car and the crazy looking clutch.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

Here is a pic of the clutch.

iTrader: (5)

please let me know how that clutch feels.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

looks like it might be rough.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

I don't understand why CM is making clutches for the 07-08 Type-s TL's for $600 and for the 04-06 TL's they are $1500. I hope this P2R clutch works because they really are the only reasonable game in town.

I hate cars

$1,500?!?! That's rape. Unless it's some special aluminum flywheel and a dual disc pressure plate they're out of their mind. Even $600 is on the pricey side.

That is going to be rough...no springs with puck design and stiffer mounts...
but with the turbo, you need it...

p2r is running the disc in their track accord and they say that its not that bad. but it varies from person to person. i have teh disc sitting in my basement now. just need to find time to install it

Man I really wanna see a kit on a car!! Any engine pics Hi Speed?

NVA-AV6

The flywheel has the springs in it....

I strongly suggest doing the slave cylinder check valve delete before installing this disc, that damn valve allows slippage which will cause glazing of this disc.....

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

^did that mod already. love the feel of the clutch now. for me its easier to drive the car

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

I am going overthere shortly and I'll get some pics, I have a modded slave cylinder I am having installed.

hows the install?.... are you guys finding it easy to install using the manual?

KN_TL

iTrader: (3)

HiSpeed pointed out that there are diagrams missing in the manual. I asked about it and hadn't heard back. Do you think you could find out for us?

I just got the last part in today. I appear to be the only one doing a DIY and I don't have the spanner wrench to replace the fuel pump so I am waiting for that to arrive. Once I get it and finish putting in a shower and ramp in the front yard, I'll be digging in.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

Like KN said the manual is missing some info that I would like to have. My mechanic didn't seem happy this morning, I found him staring at the install manual with a blank look. My car was in the air and the engine and tranny were on stands. I am more concerned with the clutch not fitting at the moment, but were I doing the install I would be pretty heated about the pace of things.

my car has a CM lightweight stage 3+ kit in it. it definitely gets the RPM's up faster. little loss of torque, but not too bad.

Where exactly are you having problems with the install?

iTrader: (10)

have any of you guys who purchased the rubo looked at this front bumper? Has a hole for the intercooler..

I think it looks clean and is ALOT easier to get then the Versus bumper.. (I just really want to see what this bumper looks like painted.)

It doesn't look too good, IMHO. But, I do live 2.6 miles from them...

For me, it's not with the install. Hi Speed mentioned that there are references to diagrams that don't exist.

I found one about the vacuum connections. If there are others, I haven't found them yet. Maybe Hi Speed can give the specifics.

Both John and Rodney (thanks to you) contacted me right away.

Thanks!

For me, I am not interested in anything like that. I want to maintain the stock bodywork as much as possible.

I will work with what's there to make the airflow better.

I was on the CM site and they finally have the 04-06 Stage4 kit listed. It includes the flywheel and has a 4 or 6 puck disc option. $1500 smackers.

Hi speed

iTrader: (3)

I went to the shop and the car was in the air, so I didn't take pics. once the clutch comes in I will get some pics.

I'm sooo jealous. If this kit had released a few years ago I would have been all over it.

well, i had them make a custom setup off the original setup. The first set they sent wasn't even close to what it needed to be. Apparently there's a difference in the base and type s dimensions.
