Lokius... haha theres a chance youll see a shot of the brakes later today. Thanks for being patient! Patience is virtue.

notcreative... Sorry i wont be able to attend the meet you're organizing. If you make it out to Rockingham on the 25th i'll be there. You should show your car. How's it coming along btw?

CCColtsicehockey... What do you think man..should i go with the ron jon kit or what?

I think you should go for teh ronjon kit, just because I know for sure that nothing else is coming out in the near future, and I thinnk that the mods you are doing are compensating for the fact that you still have the oem body kit, something that people who put this much money into a car, usually never have. Ronjon would probably hook you up with a great deal to get the kit on a show car like yours Dibs on the A-Spec Bumpers if you do it though, since I lost that damn comptech exhaust...

Oh and BTW that hks sounds amazing, i just installed my suspension and sway bar, and I think exhaust reallly sets off teh car..

yeah I think you should go with the ronjon cause you can have in painted and shipped right to you and they are making if so it hooks right on with stock clips I believe so then you could put it on yourself. Also you should go to HIN DC on the 24th 25th and 26th of june. I will be down in NC in 1 week and then I am staying there for the summer. I will be going to the dc show so we can ride up to it together.

keep the grille and go with black mesh, with the two tone paintjob, and carry the carbon fiber to the trunk, with white vinyl and it will set it off... ronjon and all..

Lokius... Here is a day shot of the brakes. haha just kidding. But it is a shot of them before being painted.


special-ed... Here is a shot of the torino. I went with the black with white lettering. The black flows well with all the dark items inside the cabin. Thanks for the comment.


t-dogg.... haha badassness...i like that. Maybe ill go with the ronjon. That will be one of the only modifications that i will have to wait and see how it looks on other TLs.

CCColtsicehockey.... Thats cool we'll have to run a photoshoot with your 50% accord euro R. I have decided to attend the nopi event at Rockingham that weekend so i wont be able to roll with.

that's nice. i was thinking black also since there doesn't seem to be any camel/parchment colors available but since there's a bit of black in the cabin, yeah i can see how it will blend in.

damn, all these mods are bringing back the itch i had when i first got my bike. may have to sell the cbr now so i can have an extra 5 g's to mess around with!

I'll let you know if I decide to go with the RJ bodykit.

Danny04TL... How are you liking that setup. It sure does sound nice. You'll notice over time the polished part of those canisters will morph into a bronze/ brown color.

Lokius... I called Rotora the other day and was told the brake kit is scheduled for completion at the end of this month...which translates into next week. Hopefully they'll arrive in good fashion and ill install them and break them bitches in and be good to go....or stop! You know ill take pictures...i still need to get those stock caliper pictures for you.

yeah, i really need to decide as well if i want to invest that much money on a bbk or just paint the calipers black, the quality of your brake and how it looks will help my decision hopefully.

Hey danny, is that 6 bills for the cans only? Also, where would you suggest ordering from. I like these better than the comptechs and probably alot lighter due to the carbon fiber!

Accuratein..... im liking the set up so far...im hoping for more of crispper tone at higher RPM . right now im getting more of the low laud rumbble.. ( just my preference) but its still good tho.. well see after it gets broken in.... if it gets lauder then i might consider putting in a resonator.. but well see... ill keep u guys updated...

special-ed....... yea it was 6 bill for both just the exhaust... i wanted to do the set up the same day i bought the exhaust... i looked up this place online...
http://www.optauto.com/
but they dont do pick ups cuz they are a wharehouse and so they had me call a shop orderd it from the shop and the guy from the shop had to go pick up the ehaust for me cuz i wanted them that day... but u can order them through the site and they will ship it to u..

ediddy... thanks man!

CCColtsicehockey/Lokius... The sales rep at Rotora told me the kit shipped out Friday the 15th of July. So accordingly they should arrive this week. We'll see if Desmond Performance attempts any tricks.

You would have scooped up the trophies had you made the journey.

4 months and 1 week later...the custom rotora brake kit has arrived!

I'll post pictures as soon as i can get them installed. I'm going to attempt this mod myself.

4 months and 1 week later, and you just got your brake kit... haha all joking aside I think the rotora kit will be worth it. Besides the car does need some brakes. You got them black didnt you

Shoulda just listened to me and got this custom wilwood kit lol. no worries though, I just cant wait to see the brakes on the car, so I can make sure it looks as good as it should

Whats goin on people! I have risen from the dead. Literally.

Comptech Supercharger Estimated Time of Arrival: Mid December 2005

I will definitely have updated pics of the TL within the week, alongside my brothers wrx.

The TL will feature: 1)Stress fracture across the windshield. 2)Splitters have been retired for the meantime.

Those splitters were no match for the downforce generated at 145 mph.
