Spank you sir

Btw mad people are asking about your wheels. Excellent choice my friend! What does the wifey think about them?

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

funny you should ask...her first experience with them was at the meet last weekend and i had to drive like a fucktard the whole time because i was afraid of slicing up my tires.

so her view is slightly thwarted because of that. but she does like how they look.

Why are they mad? Are they jelly?

Your TL > my TL

Your Forgestars > my Forgestars

I'll try to get those pics of the dremeled rear asap. It's 110 degrees here, throwing out the trash has been made difficult now...

shinerblack

Dude your TL is sick Definitely going to take pointers from you. Just installed some cross-drilled slotted rotors and ceramic pads on my 06. Looking to black it out next. Same idea as your's with the grill, but also going to do the emblems.

^ what the hell man.... lol so are you good now with the rubbing?

iTrader: (7)

Ouch... I know how that feels man. I had my old wheels over a year and not a single curb rash and a week after getting new wheels, BAM

iTrader: (1)

Those Forgestar f14 wheels looks great with your car . Edit: just saw that curb rash pic you posted, sucks man but it's repairable vs chrome lip .

d-townhakuzo

WTF MAN?!?!?!?! I'd be balling my eyes out now right now.

raising the fronts 1/4" today after work...getting fenders rolled in a few weeks.

exactly my thoughts. i've never bent a wheel in my life. although this isn't curb rash, i remember last weekend on my way back from the cheesecake factory car meet...cruising along on the highway going about 70mph and then...BAM! hit a pothole or some sort of major dip in the road. never even saw it coming, nothing i could do about it.

yeah i'm happy it's not worse than it is. wheel could have seriously bent or even cracked. i hit that spot in the road pretty damn hard. talked to my wheel guy, $75 to fix it and i'll probably get it done when i take these off for the winter months and put my stockies back on.

yeah i was/am/will be pissed for quite a while. haven't even had these on for a month lol

you always know just what to say to cheer me up tyler.

This thread is just plain fun to read!

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Sorry dude I had to.

You know I hate seeing your new wheels like that

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

poor wheels indeed. nonetheless, she will be fixed.

i'm happy this thread has some entertainment value, dave. when're you free next? gotta finish that install man!

yeah yeah i know i know...

*alright so last night i dremeled off a section of the rear aspec lip. my rear tires would rub this little piece whenever i made certain turns.









taped it off, dremeled away, and kept the little metal tab where it was...i just angled it back so that it has no chance of hitting the rear tires. went for a cruise afterwards, no more rubbing.

afterwards, raised the front coilovers up 1/4" to decrease rubbing on turns/pulling into gas stations/parking lots etc.

seemed to do the trick, i no longer scrape everywhere i go and the car actually looks more level now...still slightly raked, but less noticeable. i like the way everything sits now.

car was so low that i couldn't get it on my buddy's lift...had to use some wood. even then...it barely cleared the lift arms.

HOLY SHIT AARON!!!

I go away on vaca for a bit (no internet and maybe 1 bar at best cell phone service) and I come back to see your new tires shredded/glued back together and a damaged rim.


I bought it in late December and took possession in January.

where'd you go on vacation? yeah yeah the tire and wheel thing sucks but it'll be alright. i'll get the wheel fixed in the off season and the tire seems to be doing just fine.

thank you sir.



alright so this past weekend, myself & dave (dwb993) successfully installed the dvd player/ran wires/etc in my top center console cubby (under the nav screen). we also did a bunch of other crap that would probably bore you all, so i won't even mention it (ran wires blah blah). now i can watch DVD's AND youtube videos/etc from my iphone on the nav screen. pretty shweet.

after i get my car put back together this weekend, i'll post pics of how it was all done and all the items/products used to make this happen. just wanted to give a shout out to oscar (acura_dipset TL) and dave (dwb993) for all their help with this project.

in the mean time, here is transformers.

sorry man, i was being selfish and only thinking about the people that physically helped me with this.

Lol, congrats on getting your dvd player hooked up

I are LEGEND

That's so bad ass dude How does the stock navi screen look? Thanks again for the shirt, Justin and I rocked them proud at the San Antonio meet.

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

J, the stock navi screen looks............stock.
you have the ability to turn on the dvd player at will, switching from stock screen to the dvd player.

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

justnspace, the stock navi screen does look.........stock.

BUT i also installed a video selector module which amplifies the sound/visual quality of the nav screen. the resolution looks surprisingly good after i implemented that module!

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

tword?

I are LEGEND

I gotcha, so you can switch between them. That's cool.

Which module did you use?

SharksBreath

iTrader: (33)

i used the PAC VA26 module.



also mounted 2 rocker switches underneath the steering column dash, right below my angel eyes/LED strip switches.

one switch brings up video/audio for the DVD player, and the other brings up video/audio for the iphone/ipod.

the switches were realigned and aren't crooked anymore...
