looks awesome Josh...cant wait for proper post install pics


"FUN" is very subjective...for some its fun to get to 60 quicker...for some its max straight line speed...for some its handling and reliability....

thats why I love the TL Diet...the car is very stable, quicker off the line, takes corners like a pro...now if you want max straight line speed, I am sure TL is not the platform for ya...people have had problems with it hooking even at 300whp....leave alone putting down 500+whp...

Yep, that's why I use that as my gauge...fun to drive to me, I don't care about quantifying it.

I really don't see how bangin' Adam is going to help, but if you think it will, go for it.

Honestly, he did a fantastic job with rolling shots. Weren't you tinkering in the high res game too?

This is definitely going in the wrong direction. I am just glad to see Steven Bell has nothing to do with it this time.

*Knee slapper* lol!

...Patience lit-el Grasshoppah. I only have my front tires in hand. I just purchased my MT STREET DRAG ET PRO's last night + the install hardware kit + JPC rear sway bar relocate kit. This finally completes the install and ready to mount up once everything arrives.

But I do thing I may wrap the front skinnies on the wheel to present a sneak peek teaser for the weekend.

as of today...I still have a temp tag. Exp 23rd. Going today right after work to transfer the Ol TL tag to the Pony. I did not opt the financing to add tag and to do it myself. (Cheaper) in the long run rather then adding the cost approx. $300 more to the financing. Either way. Today is the day I go HARD! plate...lol

...wait for it...wait for it...someone is bound to jump on that last comment. 1 of 2 ppl...

Next step complete. Just installed the FORD RACING 47lb #LU47 fuel injectors and downloaded the AED Base Tune 47/Pump gas. Next will be data logging the 47/Pump gas engine behaviors and staking it to the next level on my next fill up ~ E85! Also received all my remaining supporting mods and parts to complete my RACE STAR drag set up. Lots to do!

I have updates. Did alot of car work on Sunday since Saturday virtually was Hurricane winds and rain here. What a down pour! So I fixed my DD Accord flat tire and plugged that bugger up and installed my JPC Sway Bar Relocated Kit (PITA 3hrs!)



If you noticed, the lower bracket was cut off where the sway bar use to be 1-2in lower under the shock. The kit allows for smaller diameter wheels, such as 15in Drag wheels to be installed with no issues of the shock mount hitting the inside of the wheel. So now, I can swap from 19s to 15s with ease!

So, u know what's NEXT
