Your car looks great!!

 

 

Well unfortunately the fed ex guy came while no one was home....as usual, so updates on Monday hopefully!!

 

 

^^^lol
Love the white brembos against the wheels. Awesome.

 

Yea, but that's how it works with UPS.........

 

Lol I thought of that pic as soon as I saw the tag on my front door! It says he came at 8:25am which I thought was really early! I won't be around tomorrow, so hopefully he comes while my brother is home. Until then, I am going insane waiting for it!!

 

Well I finally got it!! Im so excited, but I might have to wait until spring to install it....we'll see.

 

Spring???

 

The time of warmer weather and more free time! Also, I'm not sure if I should get a j pipe and install both at the same time. I guess I should spill the beans....I picked up richies last true dual! Im also unsure about how it will sound with the stock j pipe, and with the amount of driving I do, I'm not sure if I want to take that chance. Help!?

 

If that sat there looking at me through an entire season, I'd go crazy.

 

Anil, best MEME ever made, dude. Wow.
DD, you patient as heck!

 

Seriously, I'd be making free time to install that true dual.

Congrats!

 

I'm dying right now!! All I want to do is install this thing! I wouldn't call it patient I'd say its more towards chicken shit.

I don't want to install it with the stock J-pipe and then find out it has rasp or drone, since I put 1100 km on the car per week. Just wish I could afford a J-Pipe right now too! Then it would be easy.

 

If anything, the stock j-pipe will make it quieter.

You shouldn't have any rasp or drone.

J has HFPC (I think) RV6 j-pipe and the true dual and he has no rasp.

 

DD, do you have OEM cats? all 3?

if yes, you not gonna get any rasp or drone....

 

Yea, my system is all stock. I read up more on the exhaust stuff since Im a noob when it comes to it...its going on Saturday morning before I have to work

 

 

We got it installed yesterday! Even though we had to work in the snow After a few hours in the cold, all I can say is WOW! It sounds amazing!

Anyways, over the winter I hope to add:

J-pipe
Progress rear sway bar
Tint
And an Electric starter (not sure if I want to go with an alarm/starter combo or just a starter...Suggestions?)


Mileage update: 141,000 km

 

Car is filthy but...

Nice update

 

Nice setup for the pics!

 

Found out a friend of mine loves to photograph cars so we went out today and snapped some shots! The weather was cold and rainy/snowy but he managed to get some really nice shots. Here is what he's sent me so far:

Gorgeous shots.

 

Agreed - beautiful pics!

 

Very nice TL

 

Thanks guys, he did get some amazing shots! There will be more coming from that day and I'm sure there will be lots more from him in the future!

 

Wow

 

So as spring nears an update is in order. I have around 157,000 km on the TL now.

I also have some stuff waiting to be installed, like skunk 2 front camber kit, Progress rear sway bar, and I also picked up a front lip diffuser from a STI off ebay. Not sure how the lip is going to turn out but thought I would try it.

I also need brakes asap! Only have 3mm of pad left on the front. I am about 90% sold on the stop tech package that excelerate offers. From what I've read everyone seems happy with it. Just curious on the pad life and dust. I hate how much dust the brembo pads have, but I realize that good pads will create more dust. Any advise would be appreciated.

 

Ceramic will kill the dusting...just slightly worse cold bite in my experience...
Glad to see you still around and documenting!

 

Thanks rockstar! I'll be around as long as I have the car, the winter is hibernating time, especially this winter! Not much fun modding in the cold.

I'm hoping to have some things a little different from everyone else this summer hopefully it works out and flows well with the rest of the car

 

Dee, all of the new shots are Avatar-worthy. I love that first sunburst shot.

 

New pics look great

 

 

Great Photos! Gotta love the WDP! I like the one w/the road going off into the cornfield.

 

^^ This!!

 

That sunset shot, over snow...absolute perfect, my goodness.

 

Them white calipers set the car off they look really good

 

Absolutely love photoshoots out in the fields!! Awesome pictures! +1 for the perfect sunset pic!
