Looks awesome KK! Great work as usual. I wish we lived closer and could tackle some projects together. Something tells me my car would be a lot further along!

Well, this is it. All good things must come to an end, this last mod brings my build to a conclusion.I have totally enjoyed working on this car and feel that i am at a stage where enough has been done without going overboard.

I would like to thank everyone who followed my thread,left comments,offered advice and made suggestions.I would also like to thank Acurazine for having me as a member,this is an awesome forum with many helpful members who were always willing to share information. I have learnt a tremendous amount being on here and hopefully i was able to contribute back in some small way.I will still be around,reading and assisting whenever i can.

I like the new Avatar too!

KarKraze

Thank you,love that BBK of yours.

Thanks, i like the tinted one's, but these are much nicer.

Sometimes i wished i lived close to another member with a 4G so we could do projects together.

Appreciate it.


Appreciate the kind words,it was my pleasure to share my ideas and mods.

I will be keeping this car for a long time but have my mind set on a real summer car,so time to stop the modding and start saving for another toy in a few years.

The TL is currently in hibernation mode,winter is coming .

ALFAQ

Yo KK !! i know you said that you are done modding but are you sure that you won't do one more winter project .

KarKraze

Unfortunately no,the car is complete.

My current plans does not include any future mods,exception being the Hondata tune if it becomes a reality.

Those pedals you got from teamsls in Toronto,do they sell em in store or did they make em for u?

KarKraze

I purchased them from the store several years ago,not sure if they still carry them, give them a call @ 416 740 4757.

However,similar pedals are available on Ebay, perhaps there is a difference in quality but the appearance is the same.

Who/how did you do your grille? And how's it holding up? no cracking/chipping? How long has it been?

KarKraze

Hey bud! The grille was originally Nexons and was done by him. No issues at all, Brian put a lot of effort in his work and it shows.

liquidneon

Hey man, good to hear from you. OK, another big issue with these white TL's is colour matching... when someone scuffed up my side the body shop had a hell of a time having all the paint blend together, as the clear coat tends to yellow a bit with time. No issues for you? it all looks uniform?

that's why i asked about how long it's been. i'm guessing my TL has yellowed a touch, and Nexson's work would look great on a brand new white TL... but may not match mine perfectly.

Any thoughts on that?

KarKraze

Good question,actually he did a great job on the matching, he actually sprayed a sample and match it up to a WDP on a dealer lot. It is still risky since cars may fade/ yellow differently. As you know the bumpers are off in colour from the other body parts and is something we have to live with, especially noticeable on the WDP.

There is always some risk, tell you what, when I bring the car out I will send you a PM and we can meet up and you can see for yourself if you are happy with it.

TeamAcura

KK, your 4G looks fantastic. Super clean. Awesome job. Nothing over the top but nice attention to detail. Great build.

liquidneon

Yep, that's my concern, and why i'm scared to go ahead with it. But thank you for the info. Let me know when she's out and we'll meet up!

nexon also did my grill surround and it was amazing, he is worth every penny

KarKraze

Coming from you that is much appreciated. Love your car as well.

My car came out exactly how I wanted it,a lot of thought, time and mods went into it. The objective was to make everything blend in so much so that it wouldn't stand out too much but still be different.

The two things I stayed away from were a loud exhaust and overly wide wheels,not that i don't admire it but it wasn't what i wanted for this car.

TeamAcura

I'm kind of in the opposite direction lol . I want a loud exhaust and wide wheels but after experimenting with them; my next wheels will be the most aggressive without stretching tires which is 20x9.5. As money does not grow on trees for me, this year I will focus more on the performance end of things and some exterior mods. Nothing crazy. Next year, I want to upgrade to maybe a stage 2 brake kit and some nice lightweight forged wheels (preferable in the sub 20s) then I'm done.

Edit: my 1000th post on your thread! lol

KarKraze

Put together a collage of the more significant mods that i did since purchasing the TL

purextc

I really like the headrest!

Vidol642

My favorite. Just love this car

carbonTSEX

Those headrest would be sick with my oem rear seat cover.

Nice collage!

God damnit. I scrolled down too quickly and thought you were parting out everything. I was ready to jump in my car to Toronto.

HAHAHAH, Andrew, way ahead of you, I was already sweet talking him via text.

KarKraze

They look at home in the car, go ahead and try it out.

Ahahaha,you fellas made me .

KarKraze,

Can I ask which insurance company you went with or how you went about getting insurance for your car?

I am with RBC and they won't insure it once lowering springs are installed. In fact, just talking to them, I now have to provide evidence that I haven't lowered the car!

Realize I can find this myself, but perhaps there are insurers more open minded about this kind of thing? I plan on checking the GTA Subaru forums

Sweet setup btw. I have been considering going with the same setup as far as springs and wheel sizing.

TIA!

KarKraze

I am with Johnson Insurance,not sure if they take individual as I am under a group plan.

KarKraze

Decided to give the Sprint Booster a try, figured I can't go wrong with the 30 day refund policy. Been hearing good things about it so it's time to see for myself. Looking to install sometime this weekend.

carbonTSEX

Nice pick up. In for your review.

Vidol642

I heard only good things about the sprint booster.

KarKraze

Installation of Sprint Booster

Switch off car,remove keys from the ignition,move seat as far back as possible and leave the door open for at least 5 minutes before installation for the power to drain from the accelerator module.Leave door open during installation.

Look under the driver side of the dashboard and locate the panel that has the puddle light,turn clip on the right side of the panel shown in picture below,pull down on the left side of the panel to remove the panel.



Panel removed



Locate the harness that plugs in to the the accelerator pedal, feel at the top right side of the harness and depress the clip that hold it in place,pull harness upwards to remove it.

Plug one end of the Sprint Booster in to the accelerator pedal body,plush in until you hear a click.

Plug the harness in to the open end of the SB,push in until you hear a click. Plug on/off switch in to the SB (white end of plug to the white end on the SB ) Picture shows the SB installed.





Re install panel



Attach the on/off switch in a location of your choice,show here in off position



SB in race mode (red light)




Installation is not difficult and i did not remove the pedal to do it,however space is limited and that is what i had issues with,all in all it took me about twenty minutes.With more room to work it would be a breeze to install.

Will post a review later.
