Whats up fellas! I'm going to post a few pics that i've taken in the past few days of some updates with the car. A lot of the race teams i've talked with at VIR have said brake cooling ducts have proven to be very effective with continual use on the track. These ducts that are directly straight to the rotor decrease the temps substantially, and allow for longer pad life. I've also got my cousin working on repairing the versus bumper at the moment. It's accumulated probably 600 small paint chips due to it being driven daily. I went by the original painters bodyshop to pick up the oem bumper, and to my surprise it was still sitting outside,...thought they might have thrown it out by now! This time around i've decided to drive the car around with the oem bumper to preserve the life of the new paint. Also, i won't have to second judge myself when encountering inclines and speed bumps. The intercooler fits behind it with no problem...only had to cut some of the plastic on the inside to allow room for the pipes.

The Project Mu brakes also arrived in due time, as the kit was amazingly IN STOCK in the United States!! Total shock. It's a beautiful 4piston x 4pad forged caliper, 2 piece 13" rotors, and came with 2x project mu stainless steel lines. Super excite! (Borat) I took pics of it behind the spare te-37 to see how it will look once it's installed. Install is scheduled for this coming friday.

These brakes are intended for a CL7 or the Honda Accord Euro R/ TSX Wish me luck in the event they will fit on the UA6. Raymond or ua6spec's discovery is the sole reason i decided to order this kit after he applied the brembo gt kit on his TL which was intended for the TSX. So two thumbs up to him!






...will post the rest after i eat breakfast...

 

i hope your breakfast consists of only pop tarts ..... i.e. HURRY UP

 

lmao, you cock-tease.

 

This PMU shift knob is linked to one of the worlds most enduring front wheel drive automatic transmissions.

 

lol

 

Figure 1A.

Japanese Maple!

 

haha It was delicious. I'm at my parents house and the mother prepared a hashbrown egg skillet. What's up Vinny! Meet this coming saturday!

 

 

haha that was my bad.

 

btw, are you going with that color combo - WDP and Sea Green?

 

Good Stuff! The Arbor Lesson of the day especially

Cant wait to see this all installed! Those brakes look awesome behind the wheel!

Well done!

 

Yeah, it'll be white/bronze/aqua brakes. Should be an interesting combination...i hope

Oh you liked the arbor lesson haha! I figured it could be appropriate considering project mu is strictly from the land of the rising sun. That tree is actually supposed to be twice as big but Hurrican Fran destroyed half of it back in '96.

 

I forgot to mention, some project mu's in conjunction with your ridiculous gold setup would be the winningest combo ever known. Bronze = mediocre combo Gold = the death.

 

I agree...however it'd be mo' money mo' money!

AND since I already have the Brembo's...my concern was the back brakes...EVEN tho it's not necessary cause of the front to rear braking power ratio, It'd look HOT to have a matching Brembo BBK on the Rear...Maybe get the colors changed up

At least I can drool over your set-up cause; !

 

Damn, those are crazy looking BBk. I hope everything goes smooth for you, but don't forget to post pics after the install.

 

I hate you

 

DUDE..Project Mu!? Thats fuckin SICK! and Especcially the Aqua man, WITH the matching shiftknob Man, I'm so psyched for HIN now.

I was surprised the OEM bumper actually fit back on with the FMIC hah

BTW-Where did you get that vent/Funnel like thing behind the bumper? I've been looking for something similar for my Apexi intake but all I can find is round ones

 

Those look amazing, Eric!! The PMU's are soooo dope. They look great with the bronze. I can't to see them at NOPI. Thank god we are not in the same class anymore, lol.

 

damnit man, your car is rediculous
i love it
haha
give me it...now

 

your car is insane bro...

 

what the.............FMIC on a 3G TL ..thats is super nice..

 

always cooking up something eric....

cant wait to see those brakes......

 

the project mu brakes in the aqua look sick behind the volks!!

 

wow, lookin good. i need to paint my calipers a new color as i'm getting bored of black. i was looking for a color like this but couldn't find it.

 

Eric, I just noticed you dress up your dog!!! :ghey:

 

hahaha my girlfriend bought that shirt for him the other day. It says Aloha! (my dad is from Hawaii)

 

nice brakes, that is a JDM tree lol

 

www.brsproducts.com Check out the cooling/ducts products, they have an assortment to choose from. Are you showing at HIN or just going to it?

 

Ohh Appreciate it son!

Nah man..haha I won't be showing. I ain't up at your level..yet! haha But I'll definitely see you there though

 

Yo! your BBK is TIGHT! Hurry and slap that sucker in!! It's dying for a test run!

 

awesome new brakes man! you just never stop do you?!

 

Thanks Henryk. I opened the box and almost fainted. haha. And don't forget, you'll probably get to see them at Formula drift in about a month or so if you're still planning on driving up for it.

 

They're definitely sick nasty jdm. Thanks for wishing me luck, hopefully they'll work. I'll certainly have some good pics up if they get mounted.



you still plannin on driving down for the meet this weekend?

Appreciate it man!

had to do it! thanks.

I like to eat. haha.

Thanks!...i think it'll be a fresh look.

Thanks! Aqua is definitely a strange color.

No doubt ballin! You should show! It doesn't matter the level son!

haha jdm tree, i like that.

You're the culprit for this modification Ray! You shouldn't have told me the tsx kits will fit on the TL!!!!!! AHHH!

Move your effing ass up here to the carolinas already! And no, i cant stop won't stop.

 

damn... I sleep during a sunday and come to azine on the evening and find a crazy thread by none other than eric...

um let me just say... told you about the brake cooling hehehe

ps. I think it looks badass with the oem bumper and the versus is just blaaaah... and wtf you put the 350z vent in there too wth lol

 

So you think the oem bumper looks hotter?! In that one pic that i posted it looks decent, but in person it looks strange to me. And yeah i got a little dremel excited and decided to put the titec duct in the oem, and i also went ahead and put the varis canards on it too, which i dont have pics of yet. My cousin should be done tomorrow with the repainted versus bumper that i'm anxious to see how good of a job he's done.

 

Sick As Always!!

 

yea I think it looks maniac with th oem bumper... omp prelude says you still get gains from it... if you digging it you should leave the oem bumper for everyday and the versus for show honestly....

 

if all goes well, i'll be there. however, i'm still in tampa now and my car is still at the shop! been there for nearly 2 months - various parts on back order

 

Stickers on the wheels and fag-blue brakes...I'll have to see it Saturday.

 

BIG Props for you ACURATein!!!
I remember one of the thread where people posted your care as a riced out TL. I'd have to say, they will need to eat some rice after seeing your car all beefed up!!!
WAY TO GOO...by far the BEST TL out there!
