Probably fun to drive, Looks like the mods are pretty easy and simple.

See I'm not too sure about all the mods being simple. They've done all the stuff most members have done but if you look at some of the pics, it looks like they fabricated a lot of component for the rear control arms. I'll check with them and see if they're ok with me posting said pics.

Also its weird that there's so much body roll but in one of the pics the car is dancing around on three wheels I'm really curious as to what suspension setting they're running. That car seems so freaking fast!

Haha no offense but fast? I've tracked this build and I find it strange they'd spend all that time and money fab'ing those rear control arms when so many other mods would be more beneficial.

Not to mention, stock weight from what i see. I know they have engine build and 6MT in the works but I'm just confused with the build process on this autox car.

This isn't a pissing contest. These cars don't get any aftermarket support so any build is interesting and builds where custom parts are fabricated are especially interesting.

Let give everyone the support they deserve. The general population acts dickish anyway and don't consider the TL sporty at all. Its nice to see people doing things to this car.

Fast or not its pretty cool. From what I can tell it looks like they have lost a lot of weight. Including losing the stock quarters.

No this isn't a pissing contest, but its totally fair to inquire or ask questions about a build. I really wish they'd register and start a build thread.

Can you post the info where you see the weight loss info? Lots of us are interested in weight loss (I don't think anyone more than me) so we'd like to check it out. I'm just not seeing it.

From the looks of it, it seems as though they they race Acura's only and they ended up using a TL after their integra. I just messaged them for more info on the weight loss.

Doesn't seem like they've gone all out but they've gotten rid of a lot in the interior and the seemingly simple areas like the hood and sunroof. I'll post up more info when they let me know.

This is the last message they sent me.
