Springs will be just fine for the TLS. The Civic on the other hand will get FnF 2.5

Legend,

Did you get the Extreme Contact DW? I just installed a pair onto my car last week. So far so good but a bit noisier than I expected.

I thought about another gripe I have with this thread.

this forum is supposed to be about community and sharing info and pictures with each other.

While, its cool that you guys share with one another, what about the rest of the forum?

as the TL becomes cheaper you will have an influx of type-s owners.
and what if they post all in here?

what about the others who could or can benefit from your postings?
there's a lot of smart fellas on here. it would be a shame for you to limit yourselves to just your group of people.

I for one, am glad they moved this thread to the photography section.

Justin I am actually trying to get to Houston this summer just to spread my TL legs on a trip. There and Vegas and actually look forward to meeting some of the Houston crew. I am not hating on you individually. You actually do alot for this thread when your not full of complete shit. haha
And I have a 6 MT S so that makes me better than you??? Plus I am not done modding yet. Go fast parts coming after she is paid off. Maybe a S/C? tuning should be cheaper and more available in a couple years.
Just kidding on the better than you though. I have enough enemies. I don't need any that share common interests. Thats why I joined this squad, to be around people I hopefully get along with.

And Legend. With this offset I am not quite sure if coils are in my future but the gap only got worse and not less so that is still a possibility. After I put some miles on these I will know for sure.

Anyway you said share ok. Need a detail and cleanup but spring is coming.

While, I understand that the UA7 has a common interest or bond, you guys are seriously limiting what this very forum is about.
I know you dont post much, but you have an awesome car! why not share it with the rest of the forum.
we are just like you. we want to share a common interest. that common bond is the 3G TL.

You can continue to post in here and anywhere you want but it looks like you still won't get a number.

Influx of type-s eh? Nothing is wrong with that. They'll get their membership number.

you missed the point.
yes, i can play and shoot slugs all day long, but in the end you're hurting the community.


Why not share with the rest of us 3G'ers.
after all, we are all 3G'ers.
We would love to see pictures of your car, Silver_surfer.

as, i'm going through your previous post, you're a smart fella with lots of input!

Yeah I doubt it's hurting the community as much as you like to say it does. You are still free to post and read the forums as you please. You are not being excluded for any forums, just the label. Do you really need the UA7 label that badly though?

We're not hurting anyone by having this thread. If anything we're helping current and future UA7 owners by condensing a lot of useful info into one source (thread).

sauceja, let me know when you're planning on heading to H-town. Want to make sure I'll be around.

If anyone sees or hears of some H&R sports or Tein s-tech springs, please let me know

this is the very first post.
tell me this isnt discriminating.

a community inside a community.
a place to share ideas.


I'm sorry but its very discriminating towards us.
you want to share ideas between the ua7 crew.
yet, anything that you can do to your car, I can do the same.

why does it have to be a community inside a community?
if there was a separate subsection in the TL section, named TL Type-S.
I would not have a problem.

But you guys are really hurting the community.

it is.
why only help ua7 members?

why not help the whole community?

P.S. I know where Dennis' H&R springs are.
but, since you dont care for helping the non type-s members.....

Dude, please stop. It's not like we only post in this thread. Most of us venture out and post in others threads and in other sections.

personally i have no experience with either bulb but i would recommend the switchbacks for that price for the front. I have been looking for some led's in the back but then ill have to change the resistor in my stock flasher to eliminate the hyperflash

They are plug & play, meaning they will work if you put them in, however, you'll have hyperflashing when you put on your turn signals.

I went with the ambers instead of the blue/amber switchbacks because the f/r side markers are already 2 different colors. I didn't want to add a third color to the side profile of my car. Maybe I should change my front side markers to 6k blue leds...hmmm.

Oh, and another reason I didn't go with the VLED switchbacks is because they don't have the "type 1" in the higher light output. They only have the high-output type 2's which I don't care for. Third reason I didn't go with switchbacks is bc I don't think they'll match my headlights, which are 5k. I believe the switchbacks are 6k white, and will be much bluer than my Osram CBI's.

FWIW, the Platinum ambers should be significantly brighter than any switchbacks on the market.
