Underneath the hood!...
Sup guys! I've spending a little time under the hood of the TL and thought i'd show everyone what it looks like. I just found this picture on the HIN website, and it was taken this past weekend at the show. My brothers S2000 is beside it, and you can see a glimpse of the RE30s.

The mods in the picture are as follows:
-Royce Han polished intake manifold.
-Greddy Honda Accord strut bar
-Cusco Oil Catch Tank
-Spoon Engine Torque Damper
-Comptech Supercharger
-Gold Foil Heat Dissipation
-Fujita Filter
-Spoon Oil Cap
-Spoon Radiator Cap
-Spoon Reservoir Covers
-Custom Intercooler plumbing
-PMU Aqua painted dip stick

This past weekend i painted the valve cover yellow to imitate the Spoon valve covers. I also took out the radiator shroud and bought some spoon radiator stays.



I'll be at the Orlando HIN if any FL guys want to come check it out. Hopefully i'll meet a couple AZ members there as i've met some at the previous shows in DC.

if there was such a thing as a JDM TL, this would be the prime example!

Thank you! The battery can remain under the blower unit or you can relocate it to somewhere else in the cabin or trunk. I've got mine sitting on the driver side in the trunk in order to make room for the intercooler plumbing.

Eric, I'm just glad I am one of the few who get to see this car in person. On Friday night when you arrived at the meet, everyone was over at your car in seconds. I can see why. Looking good as always.
