^^^ well i have a 80mm throttle body as compared to a 68mm stock on the TL so i needed a bigger intake

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

is there anything stock in your TL bro?

Steven...
was looking at your photobucket pictures
why don't you get white LEDs for your DRL?

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Thanks LowLife-Anil and I were together with our wives last night for the 4th of July. We discussed more mods!



If you say this is a waste of time, I trust your input. I can always send it back to Amazon, if needed.

@ MEKO: the bottom end of the engine and transmission LOL

@SB: yes sir it is a waste or time and money....i say cancel your order, besides its not red in color LOL

MEKO-I've got Nokya 7k bulbs in the DRL's right now. Post a link of the LED's you're talking about. I'm open to getting ones that are more "white" and come closer to matching the Audi style LED's in the headlights!

^^^Amazon is EXCELLENT with returns...they even provide you a shipping label to send back normally.

Steven, I'd take that sticker off altogether. I noticed in my research that it's a generic pipe and the filter is what makes them call that brand. I noticed they had a AEM filter and a K&N one. I wish they sold that little short pipe alone since I already have the dryflow filter Anil set me up with.

By the way you need resistors if you LED.
Found the link

$65 is so cheap for the set

Edit: Actually their bulb is kind of has blue in it..
you want like 5K color right

iTrader: (5)

Steven....i know USR wants someone to test out the LED DRL's for him....the DRL's will have load resistors inbuilt so you wont have to install any load resistors....

let me know if you will be interested....the test set will be pretty much free

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

I'd do it Anil !!! Thanks for the heads-up on that. If you correspond with Simon, please let him know for me.

MEKO-I think I'm going to stick with my updated bulbs. They were "Plug 'N' Play".....so much easier!


Thanks though!

Dang...Anil, if you find out if he's interested in having someone that DOESN'T have OEM DRL bulbs test, I'd be very interested in that too.

I have the DRL module, which has the trigger to kick on when it senses that low beams aren't on and run at 75%. I still have the Nokya yellows but have been itching to try to go with some 6k whites. I just haven't been able to get any conclusive answers on what would work with the module. Thank you if you do get a chance to talk to him.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ yes if i knew you wanted em, i would have definitely referred you to him

he is making this module for cars with DRL in em....basically the 07+ (base and Type S)

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Well, I already have the DRL module that turns my oem fogs into my DRL. I actually have it wired to a switch to turn them off when I want to. They clash with the white parking lights from the switchbacks.

I'm just wondering if they would work the same as the cars that come with the DRL feature built in. Well, if he wants a guinea pig for the 04-06 crowd with the module already, I'm definitely your guy.

iTrader: (5)

Steven, i spoke with Simon and he might have something for you and Matt

EDIT: also keep this weekend open, Dave's maintenance is this weekend

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Steven, please do have a talk with your little friend. Ignoring someone and/or being sarcastic with them doesn't qualify as "squashing it and moving on". Please keep in mind that I took the high road and didn't say a lot of things I could have after all the name calling from him. I even decided to apologize if I was ornery after the first round, which he managed to throw in my face.

I'll contact Simon myself...in the past it's gotten me a lot more than a $4's off for using some generic self promoting code anyway.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

^^^ i think you failed to read the second line....he is making them specifically for the 07+ crowd (including the 4G)....do you have an 07+ that all of us dont know about LOL ???

and talking about looking out, I have always looked out for you whether it was with the air filter or the exhaust....again i didnt ignore your post, you told me you were interested to be the guinea pig for the drl module, what do you want me to come back and reply to you in a different person's thread....you interested, PM me, dont derail the thread....

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

No way, wasn't your fault? It was ME that misinterpreted? And again telling me where and when I should be posting?!

Really didn't expect this from you...

EDIT: And know why he's making them for the 07 and up crowd? Because they have DRL's. But then again, so did the older Canadian models (which is where he's from, right?) and so do SOME TL's, like mine, that have the module. Which is why I asked. If you're going to be a prick, at least own it.

ebelp

Damn, Anil...that's cold bro.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

still cold ??? Simon is making the kit specifically for 07+ cars with factory DRL....hence i mentioned Matt and Steve...both of them have a 07+ cars

EDIT: I just read Jeremy's edit.....dude as i mentioned i am always on the lookout and will help you (not that you might need it) but if you do, am here....we just keep getting off on each others toe....lets put all the bickering behind us....coz both of us are not here to make enemies....

I agree with that...we both have the same goal in mind.

McCollins23

Steven is going to spank both of you and send you to your rooms for doing this in his thread. I'd prob keep it to PM's if I were you.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Naw...I think it was productive actually. Especially if he gets the LED DRL's!

CLassy02

Agreed. Don't make Poppa Steven whip you both!

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

As long as you both make up and shake hands, we won't need those Time-Out corners on opposite sides of the room.

Hey Steven, any rubbing issues with your H&R springs and the Akata 15 & 20mm spacers? and you didn't roll fenders did you?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Hands have been shaken, Steven. No corners...
and no, I don't think he's rolled.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

Hey KJ, with the HnR springs the drop is not much at all...he still has a finger gap between the tires and the fender....so you wont need to roll/pull....

now the tein S techs with another local member has provides a little more drop than the HnR's....and you will need to roll/pull if you install that with the spacers....

KJ TL-S

iTrader: (9)

Damn. I'm excited to get the drop, I think Matt's Type-S looks fantastic from the pictures I saw in the KS Bi-weekly meet thread. Do you think the type-s waffles would look sunken in if I ran those springs with no spacers?

I don't really know a thing about fender work, but I feel like I'd rather avoid it.

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

Thanks for helping out with answers guys. Rhonda and I just went to see To Rome With Love with Woody Allen....skip it!


Anyway, KJ-they won't look sunken, but the spacers make a BIG difference. The Akata's were only $135.

KJ TL-S

iTrader: (9)

I'm sold on the looks of the spacers, just concerned about rubbing with my drop. Decisions, decisions. Any negative affects of fender work?

Steven Bell

iTrader: (2)

I haven't rolled my fenders. The drop is conservative, but looks classy.

Shoeface

Brakes and pressure switches in a cold garage is on my to-do list

Steven, how's this coming weekend look for you? Depending on how hot it gets, may I/we borrow your garage?

Undying Dreams

iTrader: (3)

Great progress Steven, it's looking awesome!

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

KJ, with springs you dont need to worry about pulling and rolling....

I know Rockstar told me this long back:

First drop
Then adjust the camber
Then measure the gap between the fender and the tire and then order spacers

KJ TL-S

iTrader: (9)

Sweet, thanks Swoosh. I'm not sure that I'll be getting a camber kit though. First I'm going to do the drop, then get an alignment (I think lifetime from Firestone) and see what everything looks like. I would like to do it all at the same time though by just having the shop toss the spacers on while they are doing the springs.

Since I plan on doing V2 spacers so that I don't have to mess with the studs, the smallest I could do up front is 15mm anyway.
