Won't be picture ready until the end of the month; the car should be all painted by then.

November sounds like a plan!

Well maybe if you guys moved down here where people have all their teeth and don't fly the confederate flag, we'd have a good meet!

And for the record, I live in Broward County but I will say this...if we end up with a large enough group at some point, I'd be willing to drive up to Palm Beach County. I know

Oh, and my horse ain't high. Random drug tests at work...

Car looks awesome! I just picked up an 06 NBP TL and honestly I don't think I've ever loved a car more. You've made it look killer. Nice job.

Much appreciated! I've never loved another car more either. Especially when you get on this website and see what other people have done and get inspired to improve your own as well. Enjoy!

Yeah, man...I joined Acurazine just to get info in 2009. I planned to just enjoy and keep the car totally stock.
I agree, I've never loved anything this much either.

Running into this issue now. Vacuum is syphoning meth from the line; causing the car to run super rich at idle... Solenoid need to be relocated to the front near the intake.

I made the mistake of telling my old boss about AZ. To this day he assumes that that's all I'm doing.

1200hp beast I saw today. Gotta be fun (and scary) to drive that thing.






And a quick pic of my side piece which had a atf change, new brakes & cut disks, refreshed bedlines paint and a bath.

Thx man. I really love the truck. Mileage sucks for a V6 (16mpg city).

So i recently recieved my Hondata hardware and this weekend i was able to get a little time to mess around with installing the 04 adapter. Here are a couple pics.

Next up is it to install the "new" ecu and get it programmed at the dealer (appt next Sat @ 2:30). Once thats in i'll install the HBP and start the tuning process with Vit.























PS----WTF is going on with AZ, i'm losing subscriptions left and right.....had to look up my own thread to post these pics up today.

This thread is so full of win. Did I miss something or are those Aspecs powdercoated? I love that color against NBP, is it me or does it look darker than the stock 18x8.5 gunmetal? Very nice!
