how much u want for it??

 

my double door garage??

It is my back garage shop. The garage attached to house is for washer/dryer and spare fridge and deep freeze and our extra kitchen pantries. (got 5 kids lol)
The double car door is on the alley side and that single door (opened) one goes into back yard for washing or putting an extra car in yard out of street.

Its nice to wash outside then back into shade for drying / waxing.

But if you want to move to New Mexico the house will be for sale when I move lol.

 

DIBS!

seriously though, that garage is sick, easy in and out lol

 

Well not so much. Since the TL got lowered it hits pretty hard if I were to drive into the backyard. So that got squashed. My dad kept his 07 mustang gt convertible in there before they moved to Florida and I took over the house.

But yeah if it had electricity other than a extension cord coming from the house it would be the perfect shop. There is another 15 or so feet of storage space off to the right with a walk in door.

LOL I will take a pic of the shop tomorrow for you.

 

Just pulled in from a drive in the snow this morning....handles great with the Nokians.

 

Do you guys drive with VSA in the snow?

 

Here you go Trip:




Ok back to the car.
Will have to go back and redo fogs but should be able to swap those from underneath next time. Hope so because I mounted ballasts to stay this time.




fog ballasts:




Back together for now:







Enjoy will get some day time shots of the grille tomorrow. Will most likely pull bumper off later and do lower honeycombs off to spray those to match.

 

 

Honda part number for that clip puller:

07AAC-007A100
Manufactured 08/11

 

Type S is better compared with AMG and M packages on base BMW and Merc cars, nowhere near M or AMG divisions of each respective company.

 

Great work sauceja..the grille looks sweet..And thanks for the part number on the clip removing tool..That looks like a handy tool.

 

Rock2534 you are #103..welcome!

 

Sauce that garage is bad ass!

 

07tl- yeah I am trying to source 3000 K bulbs for the fogs. The 8k's and yellow overlays are not green but not the deeper yellow I would like.

Downfall is that they are AMP ballasts (did some research last night) and found its and H8 bulb.

Now finding a H8 AMP style bulb in 3k is a little difficult. I may have to get the AMP to D2S adapter found on http://www.theretrofitsource.com but finding a 3k bulb in D2S is just as hard.

By hard to find I mean from a reputable source recommended by members in other threads.
Also I want to find a male and female connector because I would like to repin the factory one and make that a not stick pin in and electrical tape the shit out of it connection.

Even searching and doing homework. When it comes to modding stuff it seems I always have the luck of having to find an "alternate" method or "go against the grain"

Guess if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any.

 

I just bought some 3k D2S bulbs from ddm..Although i have not yet tried them out yet..My H8 HID fog kit is from ddm and i have had them for about 2 years with zero problems.

 

Bet it was plug and play huh?? Right on will check them out. Worst case scenario is 15.00 for a conversion harness from AMP ballast to D2S bulb.

 

Yea plug and play..lol

 

Ok took some daytime pics and playing with my Canon T3i since I don't know how to use it yet.







Sorry about all the pics lately. Just happy to finally get a few of the things I have been wanting to do, done.

 

Looking good man..No need to be sorry about posting pics,I think i speak for most of us when i say we love pics!

I have a new mod on the way..Pics should be posted Tuesday.

 

^^ grill looks great. Good work.

Yep. Mines pretty much always on unless I feel frisky.

 

I don't use VSA in the snow.I find it easier without it.To be honest i hardly ever use it period.

 

for anyone researching brakes, BrakeMotive is having a group buy on his drilled and slotted zinc plated rotors with pads for the type-s brembos for 200 shipped!! That is, if we get 10 people interested.

 

Thanks.

I do, I just leave it on all of the time. If you want to be able to spin the wheels at any time then you can turn it off, but it works well in the snow so you can just give it some gas and let the system work out the traction issues so you don't have to keep adjusting the input with your foot. If it was rwd it would be a bit more fun to turn off the vsa.

 

^ this is true.

 

has anyone thought of painting their calipers brembo gold like on the g35 6mt's? im trying to decided if it will look good behind the stock type-s wheels or if i should just paint the rear gloss black to match and be done with it. all opinions welcome !!

 

gold would look good, especially on your tl...
i need to repaint mine, all of the clear coat chipped off, dont like the look of them at all

 

i just bought a set from them...
bargained and got em for $190 shipped

 

good to know. Im gonna see if i can work out the same deal then! thanks for the heads up

 

I am going to paint my rotors and back calipers along with brake dust shields and such. Got primer and black. Was gonna do it this weekend but didn't make it.
Got a link to those rotors? And is that for just the fronts?

 

http://www.brakemotive.com/
their site under construction but give them a call
this is the forum number 877-477-9320...
no thats for the front and rear with pads

BTW...
which primer and paint you gonna be using to paint the calipers, i just wanna do my rear flat black

 

heres a link to the thread.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...809114&page=12

all you have to do is pm him and tell him you want to be on the list

 

awww its a rainy day here in so cal and now my poor tl is all dirty

 

In case anyone didn't see the update in my progress thread...here's how the V-LEDs Platinum series 1157 amber bulbs (click here) compare to stock halogen turn signals (the Platinum LED is on the passenger side, halogen is on the driver side):


I'm a bit disappointed because I thought they were going to be significantly brighter than halogens, but they're almost the same brightness. I'm going to order a pair of 120 LED switchbacks and see how they compare to the V-LEDS bulbs and then decide which set I want to go with.

Don't mind the layer of filth on my car...upstate NY winters suck.

 

lol that makes me laugh, i havent been able to wash my tl for 3 weeks now!! been raining and just too cold out

 

I think he's mocking us.

 

i froze my ass off the other day trying to get my car cleaned up a little bit. washing wasnt bad becuause of the hot water but drying and blowing the rest of the water out of the hose with the compressor was god awful!

 

My internet is down so using phone. The primer is a high heat says 2k F and paint is glossy black. I decided to wait on paint until I swap brake lines. I have had SS brake lines on all my cars and would like to paint rear calipers off the car.
I may look into pads rotors but my pads r 80% prolly.

 

Rustoleum high heat primer and dupli color caliper paint is what I have got primer at Lowes along with plastidip and cal paint at o'reilley

 

haha yea man it had been 75-80 here all last 4 weeks and now rain luckily by Wed it is supposed to be back to mid 80's again

 

To be honest, for the longest time, I thought UA7 was a flight number for United Airlines.
