^My local Firestone aligns my car in about 30-45 minutes. There are a few assholes who work there but overall I like them. Plus they don't say shit about me getting an alignment every month.
Oscar you got a CL-S?!?! Bastard! I had a 01 ABP CL-S which I miss very much. I would buy another one if I could. Please keep it, force your girlfriend to. What color and miles? And yes, it's got a little pep to it

Don't waste your time with firestone, you will end up spending half a day getting an alignment. The ones around me are all shit. Maybe around Baltimore they are better.
My Spring break starts on friday so maybe we can get them hooked up. and I kinda messed up my passenger side mirror ( you'll see what I mean when you see it)

Dame that sucks, i heard nothing but good things about the Firestones in my area. I aslo hear that they opened a new location in Rosedale that has a new alignment machine which sits flush on the floor then raises up to accomodate lowered vehicles.
Oh, man what did you do to the mirror? I hope nothing too bad happened.

The Type-S is taffeta white, i bought it last frebruary with 165k got the tranny replaced, and now it has 186k. That little car has been everywhere including North Caroline 3 times, several other states too. It's the Highway cruiser.
I have a few things i need to install to it. I was able to find a 2g TL ATLP exhaust that will be going on hopefully soon
The other CL is NGP with 170k not much to say about it. It has the 03 conversion going on, that's pretty much it. I might throw my stock TL tims on there and call it a day.
On another note, i will be replacing my rear rotors and pads hopefully this weekend. I've been hearing a grinding type noise coming from the rear rotors, any idea if i would need to replace the calipers too? I think they might be seized up thus the grinding noice occurs but i could be wrong. Anyone got some advice?

When you come to a stop, do you smell something like burning rubber? When my rear calipers were seized it was a REALLY strong smell that all of the cars around me could smell as well.
Also, to test out that theory, start driving down a steep hill and just coast down. If your car seems a bit sluggish to speed up or even slows down while going down the hill, your calipers are seized.

Oscar, maybe I can come up this weekend and help with your brakes. My mirror isn't that bad, I think I may have the open the housing and close it again.

Thanx Bro, your car is looking good ova there.
Thanx -MiG-, im looking forward to installing my new wheels hopefully there as nice as yours.
Yeah man get on that rear Type-S conversion, The quad tips are amazing ATLP FTW!
No, i dont smell anything, it just sounds like something is scraping and it gets louder when i brake. My guess is that i just need to replace the rotors and pads, they have never been replaced since i got the car in 08. I also think the owner before me didn't change them either.
We shall see ill kee you posted.
Thanx, im gonna look in to them. since i work close to them i might take it in before work early next week.
No problem Aaron, keep me posted.
Ill keep you posted cause i have an appointment to get my fenders rolled on saturday at 4. Maybe we can do it before then if the weather permits.
uhoh let me guess condesnation in the blinker part of the mirror?

Oscar, the car looks good. you've been getting your mods done.
I'll have to look into investing in Firestone's wheel alignment stock. At Goodyear I've been spending 80 a pop
Oscar, I read in a previous post you're thinking about getting your fenders rolled. Do you or anyone else (who reads this) know of a place in MD that will do a good job?

Thanx Tyler.
To be honest, i've been a little busy with some other stuff so i had to postpone the the big reveal. Im hoping to get them on with in the next two weeks or so. Still have to get my fenders rolled, i missed my last appointment
I saw what the tire shop did to your wheels, totally sucks. I hope you get them fix soon.
Thanx. Now Do it! Modd that TL
I washed the TL the other day, and i thought it would be a good time to test out the new camera.

Thanx for all the Comments, the wheels are somewhat aggressive not as aggressive as yours though.
Get that roof spoiler. ATLP V2 FTW!
Thanx, I still got a long way to go to get my car looking as nice as yours.
Yeah, I finally bit the bullet and got myself a Nikon D90. Im still learning the settings, I should of payed more attention in the photography class that i took in college. It was hard to do since there were so many in that class. :boobies:
What wheels did you end up getting?
#109
Here are the specs of the wheels Front: 19x9+34 R disk Rear: 19x10+23 O disk. Im also running 10 mm spacers in the front. Again i will do a proper shoot with in the next few days.

Count me in for mod day.
You might know what kind of wheels they are but you've never seen them on a WDP.
Thanx bro, i have jp04tl to thank for the inspiration. His car is straight dope.
#118
Small update before i get decent shots of the wheels. I was able to get my hands on a 07-08 Type-S trunk spoiler, unfortunately is was ASM so i took it to my boy's shop for paint and picked it up last night. Hopefully i can install it later today.

More info on that Type-S trunk lip. I'm still looking for one to replace my wing, but the lowest I've seen is $475...and that doesn't include shipping. ugh!!
