Presentation - New member

Hi there,

Well I recently purchased a TL SH-AWD A-Spec 6MT so I'm starting to read this forum a bit.

I'm enjoying the car a lot, before that I owned a Subaru STI 2011. Car that I had a lot of fun with (especially on the track)

I plan to put the TL on a track but not before upgrading brakes/suspensions.

So that's why I'm a member of this forum now.

So there she is the day I bought it :
(Since that day, the windows have been tainted, HID 3000k 35w replace the OEM one and, K&N Typhoon SRI also installed)
Next upgrades would be like mentioned in this thread, brakes/suspension and J-Pipe V2....or anything that people will recommend to install

Welcome, TL will not be as fun as the STi on the track. Save you tires and your money and stick to the street.

Does something bolt-on really exist? haah, actually the rubber reducer wasn't perfect (I read and perhaps it was the one that would fit on a 3.5L, throttle body is a bit smaller)
So I found something at Canadian Tire haha (yeah!), in plumbering section , a kind of 3'' rubber that fit perfectly!

Yeap I'm on the South shore of Montreal!!!

The sound is a 305hp vacuum, especially when the vtec kicks in!!! You won't regret.

You need to add customs & freight? So 300$ isn't a bad price
