This section needs more Deep Green Pearl (UPDATE).........

Just a few updates to The Curse/CSL TL/Money Green Leather Sofa........

New for this year:

  • Tokico HP's switched out for Koni SP3's on the lowest perch. Same springs, H&R Race.
  • Side markers switched out for USRx TL-S Style markers.
  • Miro 111 CSL M3 Replicas
    • 18.8.5 +45
    • 57.1mm centers bored to 66.6mm
    • 5x112 PCD (used wobble nuts to make up for the difference in PCD)
    • 225/40/18 Kuhmo Ecsta AST's
  • 15mm V2 spacers that are in the rear will be moved to the front and replaced with 20mm spacers.
Last year:





End of this past winter:



After a little body work and some TLC:







What I have left to finish:

  • Replace pass front axle
  • Replace rear endlinks
  • Replace my headlight lenses with the fresh ones I got courtesy of Brian.
  • 20mm spacers for the rear.
  • Move 15mm spacers to the front.
  • Progress RSB.
That's probably about it. Next spring I'll be doing the TB/WP B.S. and I'll most likely be going with an air setup.

That's if the car isn't totaled, stolen or burned to the ground by then.

I'm also glad that you do not have "blacked out" in your vocabulary.
that trend needs to die.in a fire. with gasoline poured on top.

quanmann, please do not black out the roof on your DGP.

what an underappreciated color. Nicely done, sir.
IF that is the rear with a 15MM, you may want to consider a larger spacer...looks like you could run a 25 or 30 back there with plenty of clearance.

Gorgeous rims too...you REALLY wanted to make those work with all the milling and special "nuts"!

Very nice! I've had my eyes on those wheels for a long time and couldn't find one in our bolt pattern without doing some work to it first. Now I know what they look like on our cars and that looks sick as hell!

yea the new wheels are awesome. How do you like those wobble nuts? I was always thinking that it would be pretty sweet to run some 5x112 audi/merc wheels with those wobble nuts but was always scared to try it out. Well scared and broke haha Car looks great and that spoiler is awesome too

I haven't had any issues with the wobble nuts. My only gripe with them is that they seem to be oxidizing quickly. I'm probably going to buy another set and have the heads anodized or something so they don't look like shit down the road.

Well played good sir

Before I bought my ABP, I was seriously contemplating a DGP. Only hang up was that you could tell that it belonged to a smoker, which ended up being a deal breaker for me! But on to the topic at hand... Your car looks great! Not flashy, just laid back and extremely clean looking. Keep up the great work!

SICK! I have never seen a green tl in person, and as good as it looks, I'm sure these pictures don't do it justice. Nice man.

I borrowed the G35 wheel from a friend because I hit a pothole and blew out a tire. At the time my wheels and two new tires were on order so I was using it in lieu of a donut.

And it looks lower in that pic because the front of the car is parked on a drainage grate and it slopes down right there.

sorry to be a pain in the ass... but do you have a side view? i really wanna see how low your car is... some guy had super cup with race springs and on the lowest perch and it was dumped...
some guy is selling a super cup kit for a 4cyl accord 03-07 for a good price, im not sure if its ok to use it or not...
