^^ I like the look....I ordered a Type S badge from EBAY too. It was also larger than the regular Type S badge, but I didn't realize that when I ordered it. I used it under the hood, in the engine bay.

 

great progress love the way it looks
ive had my tl-s for about 3 months and all ive done is de-badge it and wash it many times
great job with the mods

 

Lol thanks guys, yea the badge was bigger but 50 dollars cheaper haha. I think it worked out great

 

i would have prob put it right in the middle...but it looks good there too

 

na man i think it would look horrible in the middle...

 

genmay?

 

so...i got woke up this morning thinking about what i could do to the TL for relatively cheap to help performance. Then i decided i can clean shit! So i went to the local parts store got some seafoam(BTW amazing) fed it through the vacum line and put another can in the gas since i was a little under 1/4 tank. Car is running reallllly smooth now. Going to go ahead and drive it for a few days then change out the plugs to some ngk. Heres some pics of the notorious seafoam smoke.





that was at intial start up. After i get on the onramp and put her in vtech it puffed out some more then was back to normal. Im glad i didnt smoke for miles wouldve probably caused a wreck. Hopefully that helped the MPG before i drive down to charlotte for C&C next week lol.

 

That's crazy!

Btw I got your text but I don't have any service at school

 

all good that shit was funny i sent a text to my bro the same pic saying i blew up the type s with those pics lol

 

btw there's a huge Halloween party this weekend in Charlotte if your gonna be down there hit me up. I leaving Saturday night and probably coming back Sunday.

 

lol...ok well usually people tuck it up in that corner due to the crossbar in the oem grille....it looks way off tucked up there with all that open space in the middle..whatever floats your boat i guess

oh and its VTEC not VTECH

 

That's insane. I've heard about the copious amounts of smoke after seafoam, but I've never seen it. I want to do this, but I'm rather concerned about what my neighbors would think is going on.

 

Omg it is vtec dam I'm going to go sell my car now it doesn't sound as cool as vtech thx

 

^^hey no prob...just thought id let you know bro

 

how many miles you got on that???

 

80k

 

MOD BUG HAS ATTACKED AGAIN.....

Got some tein super streets with EDFC and stepping motors coming in this week! wish me luck gonna be a fun install will post pics after wards.

With that being said i will be selling my OEM tl type s suspension and Strut bar soon on the black market.

 

oh and will be adding richies rv6 strut bar and a ingalls camber kit. The oem strut bar has no cut out for the EDFC stepping motors sadly.

 

^^^yea that sux....but id rather have a different strut bar and edfc setup

 

yea i went with black brackets and candy red bar. will post pix sometime soon

 

Great progress man...
Good job jumping in with both feet. Also, on doing some different mods!

 

thx man...trying to keep it different.

 

Red halo's would probably fit your theme pretty well.
I don't know...maybe?

 

i always felt that angel eyes that arent on BMWs were sort of ricey. So many little....95 civics and accords running around here with halo's and N1 style pep boy mufflers. Acura did an amazing job designing the TL headlights if nething i will just remove the amber on the sides and leave them alone. They look sick as it is. thats just my opinion tho.

 

Tamer i will actually be installing my camber kit 2morrow. It came 2day to the house. Thank god i dont have to wait another week to fix ride height
When u drop it,maybe we can meet up so i can check it out

 

ooooooooooooo!!!! grats man. I will be putting my stuff together on weds. Not sure when the strut bar and camber will be in. Richie called me today and said if its in stuck by the end of the week, if not the strut bar will be here next week. As for the camber i got tracking on it will be here friday i believe. For sure it will be dropped on weds with the edfc!. ill give you a call.

 

Good shit man! I look forward to seeing everything on the car.

Thanks again for making it to the meet earlier this month

 

 

Teins are on, but ran out of time and will be hooking up EDFC later this week. I went with a 2 1/2in drop rear 2 3/4 in the front. Sorta rushed today will be post better pics later in the week along with the new strut bar.

.

 

sorry for the sideways pix, iphones are a bitch. Gonna clean her up and take some better pics with a camera when i get everything finished.

Im pretty much almost tucking tire in the front and rear.

 

How's the drive the Coils? Rubbing? Scraping?...etc..

Dang for being in school your making some good progress!!!...lol...I wish I could do that. My TL is feeling no love from me yet!

 

no scraping no rubbing so far...i can turn the wheel all the way left and right with no rubbing.

The drive is really tight and clean. I didnt notice a MAJOR difference, but i think its because the type s has tweaked suspension from the factory. But it sticks like glue to the road. gonna take her around some turns later this weekend and really test the teins.

 

Dope! Congrats man!

 

Thx Can't wait to finish up the edfc

 

once it settles it should come down another half inch. looks good bro

Damn you've done a lot in two months.

Nice thread but...



1-2 oz / gallon.
1/4 tank = 3-4 gallons

Most of that crap coming out your tailpipes is not carbon buildup but just excess seafoam.

btw.. NGK Iridiums & Bosch Plats are OE plugs. Don't be surprised if the plug you pull is the same plug you're installing. Depending on your miles it might be a bit premature to be changing out the plugs.

When the time does come.. seafoam the crank.
