Does anyone have an accurate detailed list of the modifications that were made to the endurance 2004 TL and the 2006 TL-S?
I'm interested in improving the street handling of my '04 6MT TL.

Here's another one from some different angles. I didn't see the TL until 5 minutes in, so you can skip there if you like.

~5:29-5:35 is a good shot

Nice find!
I believe the type-S is going to be in a 13 hour enduro coming up on the 3rd of Nov. at VIR if anyone is interested in seeing the car and team.
IF the car is indeed at VIR that weekend ill probably have 100 or so pictures of the car depending on when they tell me enough is enough!

Whats pretty cool about seeing this team is i've met a couple of them about 4 nopi nationals ago and the guys were thrilled to see a TL at the car show. They told me to look out for them in the 25 hours of thunderhill. So if those same guys are at VIR they should be pretty excited to see it again with all the new mods.
Plus they'll love to have some TL enthusiasts there watching the race.
So who all is gonna come support:
1)jdmturbosol
2)ballinfizzle89
3)ACCURATEin
4)
5)
6)
7)
As i've stated before this track is located on the NC/VA border in Alton,VA
I believe admission at the gate will be $20, and for info on the track visit www.virclub.com

Allrighty then guys! Tomorrow is the endurance race and i'm fairly confident the typeS car will be in the event!!
Maybe i'll see a couple acurazine members there if anyone is interested.
...I just looked up the race results from previous years and in 2004 the original car ran a 2:14 for its fastest lap, which is stout. The type S should be able to run a 2:13.

It's confirmed the car WILL be there. My buddy Matt informed me earlier that it is stationed in the pit across from where him and his race team is. ...said the car is a alot faster this time around than before when he saw it in April.

So here's the story...
Allright...im takin my pretty ass time waking up dilly dallying thinking oh what the hell its a 13 hour event...no need to see the beginning of the race which is at 9. Aint nope wrong!...so i'm getting close to the track around 12:30 and i'm all smiling with a big grin because im excited...gettin close to the front gate and i see a group of guys on one side of the road and on the other i see a oem TL with ohio plates and a trailer behind it. So im thinkin ah son of a gun the TL is probably inside that trailer. Sure enough i ask the guys if they are THR and yeah the car was put into the tire wall and caused enough front end damage to not finish the race. But they were a nice group of guys and they opened the trailer so i could take a look...only had a minute or so before the VIR official said they had to move the trailer. Otherwise i would have some pics. I did learn that the blue car is the same as the red one,...it was just painted and then made to look like a type S.
They said it will return in the spring, so no worries.
Bummer.
