Throw an RDX motor in your old chasis, -with it Twin-turboed, then you'll really earn the title for crazy man lol

 

Smart move Eric, the difference in transmissions is astounding on the TL

 

6Spd FTMFW!!!!... nice and crazy move... i was about to ask u 4 ur rims lol jk

 

Your new mission: Find a way to put some sort of Turbo/Twin Turbo engine in your new TL. Then you will be god of all TL's

 

eric, we still need photos!!! also, you planning on installing a lsd on your beast now?

 

All 6MT TL's have LSD. Unless, you are referring to something else?

 

oh ok so you went ahead and did the 6speed swap per say lol... can't wait to see the new pics... oh wait it'll look the same

no pics needed, unless you post pics of all the shit laid out on ur driveway hahaahah that would be sweet

 

thanks for that bit of info ... i was under the impression that only the 6spd tranny from the type s came equipped with a lsd

 

Hey Eric where did u get ur front bumper??? By the way congrats on the pickup. 6mt FTW

 

front bumper is from versus motorsport, I asked him the same question about a year ago? haha
~Jason

 

now THAT's MONEY! gz! Two TL's

 

Thanks Jason!

 

Eric had stopped by last Friday to pick something up and I didn't hear the car pull up. I was in the garage, peaked out and saw a virgin wdp. I figured it was a loaner until he got out and pointed to the brembo brakes. I had a smile from ear to ear. The car is really clean and it sure looks well taken care of. It sure is a nice platform to make a beast out of her.

I might need to take a ride over the house to seehow many TL parts are laying around. You are doing it the right way by starting with a new car. A swap of transmissions is a problem waiting to happen. Nothing wrong with being under warranty during all of this.

 

oweee!!!!!! that's crazy... u left us 5at's!!! all for the better tho.

u AND tim went from 5at to 6spd...

o yea.. My tl's almost paid off

 

I MIGHT do that too next year, switch my stuff over to a 6spd TL-S.
But only MIGHT, and I'd probably tell a shop to do it for me. Hahaha.

Cuz I need 6spd.
Hence the word "need"

 

Glad to see its staying. (well, a diff car, but it will appear the same)

You EASILY have one of my fav TLs ever. Your car actually made me kind of take a change in direction as far as modding goes.

 

Eric, this is awesome. Your car's the reason I venture over here from the TSX boards from time to time. The 6MT version is going to be an unholy beast of truly epic proportions, and I can't wait to see some dyno sheets/timeslips/videos/pictures/everything.

Do work!

 

i'm still upset pics aren't up yet =(. haha, fortunately i'll be in charlotte tonight!

 

scared me for a second. That TL will always be known. Thanks for paving the way for us TL's

 

damn...you are crazy..

it's like you've gone back in time.

 

Are you going to strip the interior on the 6M/T like you did on the 5A/T?

The 6M/T will be faster for the 90lb weight reduction and the added gear will only mean you are that much faster than the 5A/T.

 

hey you finally turned 16! YA!!

 

 

Eric's TL will always be Legendary, lol. It's crazy because when i first met my friend in the s2k, he was actually talking about how much he liked my TL and how he's seen this hella modded ass TL in the east coast with a brother with a sick ass s2k.. First thing that popped in my head was their photoshoot together and i asked "Are u talking about Eric's TL?" he was like. YEA! that's him.. hella sikk!!!"

and yea, his car is def. known by someone here in the WEST COAST!

This jus means something.. He should move to cali, lol

 

bout time eric! Congrats!

 

Sweet deal Eric! we are on the same page =] bought mine on the 20th of this month, so pretty close date! can't wait to see what you have in stores for the 6mt =] have fun! it surely feels like a totally different car doesnt it? hehe

 

You did good! Thanks.

I've taken some pics along the way with both of the TLs apart.

Thanks! I've spent some time under the hood paying attention to some of the little details. I've been messing around with a wire brush attachment on the power drill and have been eating away some of the metal surfaces to give it a little shine.

haha he's done some crazy things as well. I'm glad you're liking your new wheels,...still waiting on my order.

Now that would be pretty cool. Would definitely take some ingenuity.

Thanks bro, how's your 6MT holding up? Did you make it to the show in Atlanta the other week?

6MT is a winner! haha a lot of people want to buy the bronze TEs.

Well I'm sure it can be done after seeing the longitudinally mounted J35, twin turbo, rear wheel drive drift Honda Element. Have you seen that thing?!..if you haven't search for it, and then imagine that setup in a TL.

I know Vinny, i've been sluggish on the photos this week, but they're coming though.

haha, you're right, it'll look about the same for the most part.

Versus Motorsport. Thanks!

It's called DEBT! haha.

I'm glad you made it by the other day. It was good car talk! And thanks for offering a helping hand.

You'll trade your 5AT in for a 6MT as well right?! Join the club!

haha key word need.

Thanks bro, that's a nice comment. I'm glad it served as a little inspiration to go a certain direction with your car.

haha you said epic proportions. I'm glad you ventured over from the TSX to check it out. and like Big said, DO WORK SON!

Vinny, are you still in town? Let's meet up.

haha sorry for scaring you. Thanks! I'm doing what I can for the TL world.

haha, and it feel likes i've gone back in time too. A world of driving in luxury, equipped with heated leather seats, and power tilt mirrors.

Yes i've already begun the interior strip. The rear seats and trunk components are out so far.

And starting with 90lbs lighter right off the bat is icing on the cake!

It's a small world man,..and the older i get, the smaller it becomes. My girlfriends brother lives there, and he'll be getting married next year, so maybe we'll try and meet up. And i'm glad you like what i've done to my car. Tell your buddy I said thanks too.

haha it was indeed about that time. And thanks!

Congrats on your new TL. It definitely feels like a different car. So your script says ex-wheelwhore, are you done going through wheels?!

 

eric, I'M IN TOWN UNTIL WED MORN
