sorry, he just seemed like an easy target. just internet fun nbd...

 

^ i think you messed up a bit on the quote.

 

^damn your right...fml

 

A little too low for my tastes and you look tiny in that car!!!! Watch out for the speed bumps and potholes.

 

you look pretty young, i dont think your screenname should have "mr" in it..LOL jkjk

slammed on the lowest setting? any plans on getting some wheels?

 

right, because the tl is a performance vehicle.

 

^^not a tl...a tl-s...lmao

 

I never said it was a performance vehicle. Being slammed negates all the aspects that the Honda/Acura engineers designed the car for.
I can tell you that my car is pretty fun in the twisties. if I was slammed, I couldnt have as much fun in the curves as I am now.

my car puts down the same wheel horse power as the automatic type-s btw.

 

Off topic... I know. But, +1...

 

TL isnt VIP either but people seem to think that they can make it so.

 

my car rides the same as it did before i dropped it if not even better.. the only diff is i coulda hit pot holes before i dropped it and not worry about bottoming out but either way i was always avoiding pot holes. and my car is getting stored in the winter and if i decide to take it out in the winter i can adjust it to maker it higher

 

Thats what i'm talking about, it takes away the driving dynamics.
also, you have to watch driveways, dips, curves...basically anything in the road that is not drop friendly.

I understand that you bought coilovers, and is adjustable. but why not set it at a decent height from the get go?
and did you do the install? I just did a coilover install this weekend. we slammed the fuck outta a honda accord. he was too low, and we had to go back and basically re-do the work in order to adjust.
that wasnt fun.


THis is a good read...from the infamous I hate cars:
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/those-have-lowered-tl-tech-article-lowering-786979/

in that thread he talks about the negative performance issues.

 

Different strokes for different folks

We shouldn't be telling him what and what not to do with his TL. It's his decision. No one else's.

 

drop looks good.

not slammed tho

 

yeah thats not slammed enough to effect performance negatively... wtf? Lol, if anything it will handle much better on the twisties. Only time you'll have problems is if your running bigger wheels/tires and rub. Furthermore, he has tein SS, with damper. So I can assure you his car handles a lot better than stock. The car looks nice.

it's a public forum. We're not writing essays here... I'll tell you wat's annoying.. grammar police. It's like the retard kid in class who tries to answer every question cuz he thinks he knows everything. Stfu already

Nothing on this thread is a big deal, but if you give me something to comment about, Im not gonna use critical analysis to see whether this is good enough to comment on... beats talking about cons of running reg fuel and other stupid topics this forum gets flooded with.

 

walshstl, i say again "preach on brotha!" Lol.. entertaining thread we got here.

wish i had my coils ): car only has 19k miles so i told myself to wait lol..

 

 

^this
and op i hope u dont drive like that, having a gangsta lean may look cool, but it is dangerous

 

hahah

nice drop

 

1. Nice drop.

2.

 

in the 3 months i've had the car i've tinted the windows, type s wheels, a spec kit, black roof, k&n intake, type s side markers, tein ss.. so i won't be doing any other mods for a while now

 

what else is on the list?

 

i might do a system next because i can't listen to music with out a little bang but im also going to put rims and an exhaust

 

yo, sick drop, forget the haters!

 

I have been gone for a month and it seems that no one likes slammed cars any more? what is going on on Acurazine?

People don't hate it, it's just "not practical" to be slammed.

I say new wide rims + slammed = sexy ass TL.

 

What I've noticed about Acurazine is that its like highschool, its a popularity contest, the cool guys get all the compliments even though they do RIDICOULOUS things like the lego wing, no offense, I love erics car and all but Im just stating the truth. When new guys come and just try to show off their car they just get bashed away.

 

amen

 

Need some nice wheels now

 

Looks clean. I WANT THOSE WHEELS!!

 

The TL is a confused ass car. Acura fkedup.

 

I agree with that comment too...
Sometimes you come on here and if the well respected people say it's cool, it is. Sometimes I see some "JDM" stuff that everyone jocks...and I'm like, seriously, wtf...look at that...green lug nuts etc...it's just perception and who's saying it's cool that separates some mods from being 'ricey' or sought after.
I'm sorry, i will never understand window visors...totally JDM but detract from the clean streamlined look of a car, but some people swear by them...same with that rope thingy hangin and the non useful curtains and pillows.

But, I digress, just my opinion.

Either way it looks friggin rad (yeah, bringin that back). It's funny, when you have coils, low is only low for 3 weeks. Once you get used to it, you get the itch to put the rim that much more into the wheel well. lol. I keep convincing myself to stop with top of tire tucking to avoid having to get another alignment etc.

J.

 

^ True. Everyone has their own opinion what's cool. Don't necessarily go by what the general concensus says. I hated the window visors at first. I publicly went on record here that I hated them. Less than a year later, I've got them on my own car, and now I like them. Go figure? I did it with the A-spec kit as well. Gets kind of embarassing having to retract your statements all the time... lol

OP... With the list of mods you mentioned that you have already applied to the car, it's looking pretty good. As I said, a bit low for me in regards to ride-height, if only for the practicality of it all. I would love to see more pictures of her at different angles after you clean 'er up. Sorry about giving you a hard time about your personal image in your pictures. Just ribbin' you a bit.

 

LOL!!! What a word Vin...

 

i snapped this real quick with the iphone with my windows rolled up like everyone requested lol but im getting a photo shoot done in the morning and i'll have the pics up as soon as i get them

 

ahhhhh much better nice parking spot

what % for your windows if I may ask? (:

 

The more I look at the Type-S stockies on a lowered TL, the more I like them. I wouldn't mind coming across a cheap set sometime.

 

i agree. i'll be putting on coils pretty soon, and would rather save myself thousands of dollars on new wheels n tires. just keep the stock type-s wheels i have, since they already have brand new tires on them.

...course i would like some 18"s...but that can wait til the spring

 

Drop looks good but you're probably going to get sick of driving around Hartford that low. I'm just as low as you, and I've just about had it, lol.
