Lookin sexy. Looks like it's screaming to be driven the crap out of at the track. Make sure you make a solid in-car video mount! Also, please keep it non-cf hood. Please!

yo, I know you are NOT tripping over HT members, but those guys are bunch of tools.

Are you shitting me? He thinks his civic is better? GTFO. He obviously can't back up his argument that's why he backed out.

You got one of the hottest TL I seen around, so don't get bother by those cheap fucks.

So the Cage is a EVO cusco cage? and it fits right in? im thinking of getting one and having my shop fit the rear in somehow. But will it fit with full interior? (roofliner and such?)

Thanks Mike. It'll certainly meet the track one of these days.

I turned every one of the negative comments into something positive. That's how you defeat their attitudes. Like the first guy that said it looks like a greyhound train...i turned around and said hey, thats a good idea...train photoshoot!!

Yeah its an evo8 6point roll cage. There's a chance you might be able to get it to work with the full interior. But you will need to cut the ends of the b-pillar to make it stand straight up, otherwise it will be too tall.

It appears he's actually residing in North Carolina around the Shelby/Forest City area!! It's a small world, ...will definitely run across his negative ass one of these days.

OK.


Now.

At this time i would like to take the time and give everyone a pat on their back for everyones continued support and overwhelmingly positive comments in this thread. You guys are awesome. So thanks to everyone.

I would also like to share a response that I have just received over on honda-tech in a thread that i started earlier today. Check this out, it made me laugh out loud!!...

Posted by Donnie-
car looks ok and it looks like you've put money into it. seems you dont care what anyone thinks which is good.
but the car does look like total ass. nothing flows with it. the canards look like shit. the fake intercooler is retarded. you really need to reconsider what you've done to it and make it something else. you're trying to get love on a forum that mostly deals with tegs and civics. buy a bmw and call it a day if you have this kind of money. stop making that TL look like shit.





That's so awful!! But it's funny. I know the person isn't possibly being serious.

eric, as much as i hate to say it, i gotta agree with 'donnie'

















it does look like youve put some money into it

Eric, in all honesty. I love how the intercooler looks, but everything else is a bit too much for me. Again, for me personally and it doesn't matter what I think because the car is yours. I personally would not go that far into modding the car out like that, at the same time... I am not you. Bottom line is, don't give a damn what donnie said and those who dislike your car. You have made that 3G TL one unique vehicle and I commend you on that.

Good job and keep it up buddy.

E, the night shots are absolutely awesome. I especially love the final three. Also, you guys have Dippin' Dots stores down there?! I can only get that at Six Flags in Jersey or at the mall in kiosks! Damn, I'm going to have to crush some Dippin' Dots when I'm down that way for HIN next year, LOL.

Eric, your pic taking skills keep getting better and better! Those night shots are awesome!! Once I get my wheels on, we need to do another photoshoot.

And speaking of which, hopefully I'll be getting those tires sometime this week. The second submersion test is tonight (failed yesterday because of a couple of pinhole-sized spots I missed); here's hoping .

As for the dumbass, keep in mind 1) he's from Shelby, and 2) he's on a Civic/Integra forum.

Thanks Jaber. I'm getting mixed feedback on the hood. What does everyone think about matte black down the center?? I saw more than enough cars at the SEMA show rocking this paint scheme, so i'm thinking its the new hotness...might have to copy

Thanks for being honest Sir. And it's the way you worded your thoughts that make your comments reach a different level than the tone in which Donnie- delivered his. It's certainly ok to dislike things, but it's the tone of your words that makes the difference.

Thanks brother! The final three really turned out well. It's all about the lighting when it comes to shooting at night, and i'm happy with the way those three came out.

As for the DipnDots store, it was also to my surprise they had opened one, as i never knew an actual store existed. But the owner needs to do more marketing and promotions or else it's success might dwindle to failure. Most people will not pay the price for the small amount of product. I hope it stays open! Banana split FTW!!

Stopped over today with chill_dog - the manual is there.

AND Eric has a GREAT!! addition for his transformed 6MT sitting in the garage. Don't know if the cat is out of the bag or not, but it'll be sick. Can't wait for him to get it set up and post pics (or maybe I missed them?).


Almost forgot, car SOUNDS great with the exhaust cut off behind the mid-muffler. Really, really good.

Yeah Jack surprised me today when he walked in my garage and handed me the massive manual!! I said oh hell yes! So we can get started on the harness whenever you're ready. I need to clean the garage, it looks like an incredible disaster.

It was, IIRC, functional in the old car.

Once he transfers the S/C he should plumb yhe IC to it.
