KidoPham's Progress Thread-2013 Supercharger build
Hey wassup Azine,
I've been lurking on here for a couple of years ever since I got my 07 WDP TL Type S back on February 2009 a couple days after I turned 18. Horrible financial mistake, but I'm glad I made it. It has taught me alot about how financing works, car insurance, car maintenance, and overall how hard it is to pay for all of this. Anyhow I just started making posts on here about a year ago and wanted to do a build thread for a long time but I have been putting it off.
Acurazine is awesome but what makes it really awesome is all the people on here. I have learned so much from being on here and just reading through all the posts. Its also one of the reasons that my xbox 360 and ps3 has been sitting and collecting dust for the past couple of years
Also the day I found this site is also the day that my savings account was just burned through
LOL I'm just glad that my wife has been supportive of this hobby that has turned into a lifestyle.
February 2009-Acura of Bellevue, WA
One of the Happiest days of my life, I get my dream car:
Picked her up with 22k miles

This is an awesome car and I enjoyed it alot. I drove it all over the Pacific Northwest. Camping, Snowboarding, to the coast, to eastern wa and Idaho. I remembered getting pulled over after I got off the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds and the officer asked me where I was coming from and why my car was packed. I told him camping and he just gave me this surprised look
Its a comfortable car and very fun to drive and made all my trips and adventure so I enjoyed driving to my destination just as much as my destination. ![Chuckle](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/chuckle.gif)

So I worked the entire night before and as soon as I get home, she wants me to drive her to her family picnic on the Olympic Peninsula a couple of hours away. Being way too tired to drive I told her to drive, well never again.With my car. I wake up literally 3 seconds before she rearends her brother and I scream like a B$$$H
Her brothers car is totaled and luckily for me I got New Hood, Headlights, Front Bumper and A-Spec Lip, and Core Support. It costs me almost 5k out of pocket and luckily her brother claimed with his own insurance. I had the car repaired a shop that Acura sends their cars and they do a lot of corvettes and high end cars. All OEM parts and I made sure to check everything the day I picked it back up.

Fast forward a little bit, January 2012
I started getting a little bored of the car, still a great car, just needed a new look for some excitement
Coil overs and Wheels

As I went to start tightening the bolt, one of the studs broke on the top mount
Marcus at Heeltoe auto was awesome as always, sent me a whole new top mount.

Next day, got my tires mounted and got the drop more dialed in. I did not want to drive around plowing leaves or snow.

Car looks awesome dude!
I dont think you can cover up where it normally says acura on the front? its like stamped in so i think the only way you would be able to cover it is if you had it filled and sanded and all that jazz so it wouldnt show? so if it was just painted it would still be there if im thinking correctly... either way she looks great

Why? Just because I had my brother cover the Acura logo when he painted it? My brother repaints my bumper and lip every spring because I can not keep myself from scraping the heck out of it during the winter. Plus the crappy roads here don't help either. Really though at this point I could care less about this bumper. I'm looking into getting a versus or some other aftermarket bumper for a more aggressive look.
Thanks man it has been a crazy and fun journey. Learned a lot and had a lot of experiences with this car.
Yeh I'm not huge fan either, I got it for free when I bought the car so I figured why not put it on. It's coming off as soon as my roof gets vinyled black though.
My brother will be installing it. He's the one that puts in most of the work on my cars. And yes this supercharger came from that area. It belonged to acktl05
Bondo for plastic and sanding. For some reason it bothered him more than it did me
lol
