Pinina's '07 Type-S (MT)

Here is my contribution to the Site that I will finally start after 7 years with the car.

I will post picks of my 05 6MT TL I purchased at Acura of Deland just North of Orlando.
I was really going to purchase an 03 CL Type S 6MT that day but they sold it as I pulled in to the Honda Dealer across the street.
I had driven from Tampa to get it so I was not happy with the dealer.
My wife suggested to go across the street to see what they had there.
They didn't have one an suggested that I try the 6MT TL.
I was sold!
I was not i position to spend the 34K at that time, the CL was only 18K and I had someone who wanted my 92 Accord Coupe.
So I had to sell my toy.
My 2001 Ninja ZX7R




After closing the deal, I took her home.
I didn't take any pictures that day, i was to excited and forgot.
As soon as I got back to Tampa, I debaged her, set an appointment for tinting the windows and for some wheels.







About 6 months later, I added the Aspec suspension.
I did not take any pics.
Since I love cars so much, I bought my wife a used 2002 IS300.
I put debaged, put some wheels & a billet grille on it.






Later i added some lowering springs.





07 TLS tail lights, rear sidemarkers and lip spoiler



Here I added some exhaust tip.
I didnt want to spend too much on a full system and did not want it too loud.





Traded in wife's 02 for an 07 IS250.
Put some wheels & some lowering springs





Then finally, the aspec spoiler kit!






Changed out the Aspec shocks and H&R sport springs for Koni Yellows & H&R Race springs.

No black roof. Thought about the lights but I am afraid I would mess them up.

Cracked a wheel in a pothole.

Once you got the Aspec Kit and the drop, you had it made!

Thanks, I love the new set up.
It is more responsive over bumps at high speeds.

not sure about the wheels or tips but looks nice none the less. wheels might look nice if lower. and tips....just way too big. clean car though. do the headlights and youll be golden. maybe a black roof too.

Nice car. I also have a WDP 08 with H&R sports springs and Koni Yellow shocks. Threw in a Comptech rear bar and some spacers.

What exhaust tips did you put on? I have a base model and I want to change the tips but ones that would fit.

Thanks

They are 4-1/2 tips that are welded on.
Not sure what brand they are.
i just wanted something that looked aggressive.

Well this will close out my tread as my car and my house was destroyed by a fire.
Everyone in my family is safe and I thank The Lord for that.
Thanks to all the people I have met on this site and others I have met at local meets.
I will try to get my life back in order and a car for me is on the lower end of the things I need to replace right now.
Here are a few pics.
Thanks

Oh lord

So sorry to hear/see this, bud

You are right, everything can be replaced as long as you and your loved ones are safe.

Good luck with everything, know that our thoughts are prayers are with you.

That was not the update I was hoping to see.

Glad you and you're family is okay though. Like others said, material items can be replaced but people can't.

Will be praying for you.

WOW...

Sorry to hear this bro, was hoping for a better status update but your family is safe and that's the most important thing. Hopefully you'll get a replacement but of course it's not a priority right now.

Something about listening to the neighbor taking the video makes me want to punch him in the face. Like he is gloating that your house burned down. Especially at the end. Hey I get to watch this in 3D later on my projector. Nobody died it's all good they have insurance. What an asshole.
