Talking TL-S vs RX8 !!! Night Pics !!!

Here we go, my bro and i just got some new rides, cars are dirty and we only had a happy snapper but the shots still turned out ok. Cars need a wash bad!
Anyway, let me know what you guys think, just got my Tein's installed.
Lowered the car about 1.3 inches and I cant believe how much better my ride got.
Type S really needs this drop, car is so much more fun to drive, no comparason how much better it corners and the over all feeling is amazing.

Thanks, doing cold air intake next and then headers for sure.
Also thinking of 70% tint all around and I really want to send out my headlights to http://www.lightwurkz.com/, want to get rid of the orange on the side and get them halo's.

Going to take some better pics over the weekend, at the under ground parking lot we scoped out with my bro. we just need a better camera and clean cars.

Going to race then head to head soon, who is taking bets?

you are correct as usual Ron!

unfortunately, our headers are welded on. NO BOLTS! there are no headers that can be placed on the vehicle unless you want to cut out the old ones and get custom ones made.

after changing the headers on my last car, that's the best bang for the buck. it's awesome, unfortunately, not for 3rd gen owners

yea, you guys are right, no headers yet, but the local shop around here (JPR) told me they are coming.

Hey Ron, just wanted to say that I love your work, I really want a full kit from you.

I was driving a tsx before and now the tl-s , please make a body kit for the 07 tls.

Thanks.

I would stay away from that shop, our exhaust manifold is cast into the heads, there is no possibility for headers. the only option is high flow cats and the tl-s already has higher flowing cats than the base tl, but not as free flowing as you can get aftermarket

Looks Great. Now you need to debadge and remove your front plate. I know you have a front plate so i'm sure it's required. Come on and be a rebel :o )

I m running springs, only because I have to watch what i spend. Always running into this problem of money.

but yea, the springs did an amazing job, i ve had the car for 3 months now and i never just got up from my desk to just go for a cruise, now i find my self out in the middle of the night ripping through corrners.

so.. whats the deal with coils, are they better? adjustable?

Evader, i'm a total rebel, just put those plate covers on, and let me tell u i had those front plates off the car for at least 3 days, but i was always stressing. I live in Mississauga, Ontario Canada and we still require both front and rear plates. even went on the gov site, section 628, i hate it but I was reading that the front plate law might get dropped soon. even signed the online petition, and they are saying that front plates cost $350,000 to our gov just in ontario, small bumper to bumper hits cause more damage and front plates also limit air flow to the engine giving u bad fuel consumption and higher emissions. just look at my bros RX8

well the front plate wouldn't really effect the air flow into the TL b/c we don't have an open center grill. Our openings are on the sides, plus the air is also directed through the bottom of the car via the plastic piece underneath the car.

Sweet, you going to love those tiens, i m getting the AEMs next week, how do you like them AEMs?

Flow cats are up next, and then i have to spend some money with ronjon.
Cant wait for his 07 tls bodykit, and thats going to cost since i have to get rims with it.

Where do i go for the liscense plate bulbs?

yea, I know, we're good. but look at the RX8, covers a good amount of intake, but you're right , 70% of air is getting scouped from the bottom on most cars.
