Wooooh, nice !!! Jptl04 needs to see this carbon fiber hood. It would go great with his modded out carbon fiber engine compartment.

Both your TL's are so fucking hardcore.

steven got your pm. yes it would look really good CF hood on WDP is soo f'ing hot! BLACKURA_NY's ride looks dope with it.

these clips are bad-ass! definitely the route i'd take if i were to do a CF hood

iTrader: (1)

yea i told james the same day he bought the hood which hood pins to get and he did

he had a real tough time installing on the rad support, actually requires welding

Yea, install was a bitch, glad i didnt attempt it myself. The latches will go a lot better if i can get a CF vinyl over them, they seem a little out of place right now, but safety first lol.

Why is it everyone with a Type-S that goes for performance has an auto

instead of the fake CF vinyl you should get some of this stuff. http://www.protechcomposite.com/serv...t-panel/Detail its what i used under my hood and on around my window buttons inside. its super thin and uses 3M adhesive backing sheet. you could trim it with a good pair of scissors and file it down to fit perfect. its got a glossy finish and would match the hood perfectly best of all its the real deal, not fake vinyl.

it's what i'd do. but what do i know, im a rookie when it comes to this mod'ing stuff.

TheWanderer316

iTrader: (7)

^ ill give that a try instead, it will look a lot better than this vinyl i have lol. BTW jptl04 - where did you order the CF ACURA inserts that are on your front bumper? Saw it on your other thread and it looks pretty sweet.

sick hood and modded type s auto= speeding bullet!!!!!!

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

you can thank acura for that, haven't you noticed how man 6speed tl's there are...


as ssmtl2nv pointed out... might be auto, but not not ur average auto

FiveLiterCheater

Yeah, its below average 5 speed with terrible gearing

stillhere153

iTrader: (1)

^ i tried to explain to people that the tl-s tranny actually has some superior gearing, it responds very well, even with the crappy dbw

FiveLiterCheater

I drove an auto Type-S at the dealer, it did feel smooth but the gearing still sucks. Im just saying, if I were to go performance, the 6MT would deff be my choice. I'm pretty sure a stock 6MT would walk a 5AT fully bolted top end...Once these hit 4th gear its like hitting a brick wall.

TheWanderer316

iTrader: (7)

^ obviously, AT tops out at 130 so there is no race after that lol. And i regret all the time not getting a MT, but i didnt want this to be the first car i drove and learned on.

iTrader: (6)

you got the pins installed??

ive had the aerocatch latchs in my garage since april.. and never installed them

these are quality latchs....$100+ a pair

TheWanderer316

iTrader: (7)

yea, there was no way i was doin any speeding without these lol. around 80+, the hood seemed like it was shaking a little bit, just not a chance i was willing to take lol.

130? I've taken mine to 140+ with still a little more to go..

iTrader: (1)

i laugh if you believe that

thewanderer316's car nearly walked a s/c tl it was dead even... and we found a couple of problems with his catback yesterday which surely robbed some top end...

TheWanderer316

iTrader: (7)

Type S AT tops at 130, trust me lol, i can post some vids if you'd like.

ballinfizzle89

iTrader: (6)

Haha dude I do trust you, I just thought you'd be able to do better than me since you're more performance oriented modded which I'm sure you can

FiveLiterCheater

I said 6MT TL-S...it has a better weight advantage, probably the same power to the wheels and much better gearing. There is nothing special about the 5AT's attached to the J-series engine, sorry to burst your bubble lol Slow shifts, delayed response from the sport-shift, terrible lag due to the torque converter, and horrible gearing (for racing anyways)

ballinfizzle89

iTrader: (6)

walking a car is completely different than being dead even..

TheWanderer316

iTrader: (7)

Well i challenge any 6MT-s that thinks they can take a fully modded 5AT, i am actually curious to see the outcome, but i'm pretty sure a stock 6MT will not win. I've been actually wanting to go to the track, so anybody local who would like to go, let me know.
