Thanks man... Those garbage ass pics don't do any justice for the stance and look of the TL. Everytime I send my BF a pic of the car then he sees it later in person, he always says, "STOP SENDING ME PICS because it looks ok but everytime I see it in person thats when it completely bad ass and only then I can tell the chance or the mod u done." And its true. I also noticed I try and try to capture the look and everytime I review or download the pic...I am never happy since it did not capture what I see in person. Either way, Better pics to follow then the night phone pics provided above.

But anyways. As for the brakes, yeah...Pretty much what u said. I only have comparison to stocks and 10x better or more by far! Brakes are amazing to pedal response and very lil effort to apply the brake in a sudden stop compared to stock. And when applied, THEY BIT! So all around, it was probably the best performance mod I can do to the TL as it is a cruiser and DD. Hope that helps some

Running these same rotors and pads on my M, You wont be disappointed.

It does help, man...thanks.
I may end up doing stainless lines too. Down the line.

About the pictures...trust me, I agree...you look and see this beautiful angle and then take the pic and you're like WTF? I'm realizing that the after touching up is very necessary to show it how you see it.

Try out PICNIK.com it's free till April when they close it down...you'll see.

No PHOTOSHOOT but a few pics to show a few focal points of the new accessories and stance. And YES... Rolling was involved

Sweet. The rotors look great!

rotors really do look great!
Nice shots Jay..
LOVE the rotors...and the tires. Sorry I'm asking something obvious, but what size width rim is that and what size tire?

Steven Bell

Wow, nice lookin' setup now....

SET UP DETAILS: AXIS "power" Matte Gunmetal finish 19x9.5x +40 all 4 designed with a slight concave look on surface of wheels to give some depth rather then just a flat deign running lip to lip. LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT when I saw these wheels!!!

Tires are NEXXAN 235/35/19 a tad stretched with a 5mm spacer on rear.

The front fit flawless when adj to how I wanted it with only a slight role on the fenders from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock area. The rear was more challenging needing a more aggreassive role and pull on the fender so the spacer can stay. Rolled from 10-2 o'clock and a pulling out fro 11-1ish to acheive perfect fit and considering suspension travel.

Jay...I didn't know you had a Termi! What all ya got done to it and any pics?? I frequent SVTperformance a lot as I used to have a '01 Cobra back in the day. I'm hoping I can find my way into the new 5.0 soon

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

do I have pics...LOL! Yes! of my TERMI and my 1 BAD FOX sTROKED 347ci modded out Notch - 11.40 ALL MOTOR! I have always kept a HONDA in my back pocket but my HEART belongs to the blue oval. I jsut can't afford it anymore and love the semi-luxury sport feel and eye popping stance in styling the TL gives me. But I would love oh so much to get back into either one Termi/Fox...Or even like u said, and NEW COYOYE 5.0...I heard those are straight beast out the box. And the potential is limitless making them 650hp easy to a modest 800hp.

BTW...its obvious to what color I like















AND THE EX-WIFES AND I OLD HONDA ELEMENT...also BLACK! Lowered on TEIN and sitting on DUBS!

Thanks for the info, Jay. Glad to know, so I'd be fine on a 9" wide with a 225. Really thinking about going a little thinner to give myself a little more fender clearance.

Is the fox body an 86 front end conversion? It's VERY funny how much we all have in common. I too will be in a coyote at some point. Too much power for too little money to pass it up. I want to wait till they work something out with the tranny problems though. I grew up helping to work on fox bodies with all my high school buddies.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Do u have any roll on the fenders? If you do, the yes. I would say with a 9in wheel and 225 rubber you should be fine since those imo would be the same fit and look as my set up on scale comparison since my set is .5in wider and one step wider on tire as well. So sounds good to me

As for the fox, No... all 88! The foxes virtually stay EXACT same thru those years 88-93 changing from the prior 4 eyed foxes then changing to the SN bodies afterwards. 86 was a 4 eyed model.

BTW... U likey the clown avatar? I know u were bussin my balls on my avatars, soooooooooooo... Hows Stephen Kings "IT"? I think its the MOST scaries pic ever sionce clowns are so well hated and fear'd...Then add teeth and a psycho serial killing character... SLEEP WELL

Wow dude, you're making great progress! Your fitment is effing perfect; nothing crazy but nothing boring either.

My only complaint is that you put more pictures of the 'Stang than of the TL. Both look effing awesome

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Oh I know the fox bodies well, I guess my friends used to always swap out the tails to the all red/white ones. I always thought those with amber in them (tails) were from the 86 and before.

93 LX Coupe 5.0 all day long, baby. I'll be doing a coyote when the time comes, no doubt. You have great taste btw...all of your stangs are done perfectly. No motorsport springs on the fox?

J.

Thanks, about the offset, yeah, I'm rolled and have almost straight camber with the kits...was more concerned with going with a 225 rather than 235...but I would rather have a little more clearance and be able to go a little more aggressive this way.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Its nasty weather here today. But MORE to come for the TL.

MY FAULT! I understood the front clip...YES! U r correct. The tails are from the older model Mustang...sorta like the Capri with the black lines going across the lense and the amber box signal... Suspension was Lakewood 40/40's with drag pack suspension when the car lifts and twist the frt tires drop to tippy toe and keep grounded to steer when launching! Trust me! It felt as if the wheels pulled off the ground when launched! and the twist was violent! I LOVED THAT DAM THING! So much fun to drive and best of both worlds street/track all day long!

I remember your Cobra from SVTP. Here are pics of my old 99 that I traded in for the Acura.




I miss that car and it was very fun to watch it change from stock in the 4 years I owned it. I've grown up and wanted to go sporty/luxury and the TL was the perfect choice for me. I've been collecting parts for the Acura so I can do one big transformation in the next couple months. We will have to arrange an AZ meet in Tampa after I install the parts on my car.

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Yes Sir...I was a member there with my Cobra and I am sure you remember the build thread there from STOCK - Balls out! By the time I was done and had to get rid of it due to uncontrollable circumstances, it was pushing near 500whp! What a BLAST it was to drive. A real head turner also and a real RARE Snake! It was numbered #1457 out of 2003 made in total and out of that only couple hundred in BLACK for the 25th Anniversary Cobra.

As for the TAMPA meet, why not NOW! We don't need to wait for you mods to form a brotherhood... There is another wdp TL on this thread who post is TAMPA and hellavahTLS (I forgot how to spell his screen name) lives in Lakeland and I am positive he will be down.

OH!!! FORGOT TO SHARE WITH YOUR GUYS... There is something coming in the works just as a small detail accessory upgrade. I am NOT going to spill the beans but is will give you a slight hint that inspired my brainstorm design upgrade from the norm from what we all see here with the TL...

gotcha... I am sure they are going to look GREAT! At minimum, better then stock IMO w.o going full expensive atlp exhaust or etc...

Yeah, very cool looking!

Good guess...

oh and yes, I love your avatar, Jay.

Damn those rotors look good.
Definitely gonna pick em up.

JayVee

Definitely recommend them. So far 2 days limited dust and very good bite. Keep in mind I added the FASTLINE SS Brake Lines to this combo for the entire upgrade experience.

That is a awesome pic and visual how mine will look. IMO a awesome alternative to TLS dual tips or ATLP exhaust = $$$. Can't wait till they come in! Shop is ordering them since they did not have both side but 2 of the same side. If not, this would have been done yesterday!

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

do the porsche tips fit in the oem base opening?

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

Yes. The shop already sized them up and we were good to go...until the welder/installer saw they were the same, 2 right side tips. So the desk/office guy had to order more and when they arrive, he will call me to come back in.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Those are cool tips. How long will it take for them to come in?

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

IDK... I am assuming sometime next week...HOPEFULLY early next week ASAP!

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

OK... So I woke up at 7am this morning to shower, eat and spend time with my bundle of joy (prego wifey) before she ventured out to Riverview Fl. for her all day salon make overs and MARY KAY stuff she does. And as for me? Getting to the shop around 9am to meet my friend Gabe at TC (Turbo Charged)TOYZ when he open up shop. He allowed me to take a spot under his Turbo Charged B20/Vtec DA Integra "SHOP PROJECT" to do my "Tampa's ILLEST TL~PROJECT" and last touch to my over all suspension & brake upgrade this week...

GETTING STARTED:


FEW 1ST COAT PICS:





I detailed and touched up all troubled areas and laid the final coat on all 4 before leaving at 430pm...Geez! Really a full days work! I will repeating the early morning wake up to meet Gabe at 830-9am (he is closed, he is just meeting me there to open up the door and allowing me to wrap it and getting my car.) I have a lil final touch to add before re-assembling and rolling tomorrow morning. FINAL PICS TOMORROW

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Nicely done, man...nice to have a friend that lets you use his shop!

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

For sure! Very BLESSED! Its a small shop and he is just starting out with his solo business. He is a ol'friend from back in our HONDA CIVIC hay days and we recently ran into each other again. He told me about his shop and I visited him 1x and he invited me there whenever I wanted to ... Can't go wrong with that. Not to mention any more skilled jobs he really hooks up the labor and fees without skimming on the quality. Really a good guy. But NO good deed goes unpaid. I do pay sumin sumin for his kindness And word of mouth is my promise to him also. Matter of fact, when I mentioned his name and shop above when we did the suspension, the very next day a TSX came there to inq on some wk and said he heard of him on AZ from the dude with the "BAD ASS BALCK TL" I swear, I don't know who he was talking about. I would LOVE to meet and see this "BAD ASS BLACK TL?

JayVee

iTrader: (21)

OK...Just as I said. Woke up early this morning to meet Gabe at TC TOYZ to wrap up my work. Been extremely busy for the past 4 days on the TL. Assembled the brakes and added a lil touch... Sometimes its all about the small details. Enjoy!
