It's really weird but the car with these wheels and tires looks much better in person than it does in the photos. Like when you're standing there looking down at it. I think with a 1inch drop it would make it look better for sure.
I do have some new mods on the car. It now has a titanium exhaust turndown acting as an intake tube. And there is also a canard and winglet on the front drivers side. I might do the other side today. I need to post a video of the intake noise. It basically makes a sucking noise under throttle and when you let off after the turbo is spinning you can hear it sneeze. Much more noise than stock so if you like noises then I recommend doing what i did.

The only reason I got the Injen SRI. Boost noises. Lol.
It looks great in the photos to me tho. A nice drop would set it off that much more. Can't wait to see the updates!

oy!
I scratched the exhaust tips with the sand paper and then sprayed them with duplicolor engine enamel. Real quick and cheap and simple for a really nice result. So far they're still glossy and look great.

Thanks Jeremy!
I keep telling myself I'm gonna take some photos or make a video but here I am with nothing to show lol
Good to hear from you! I remember that one time we met at the acurazine meet. That was cool. I think the PRL intercooler will be next. I have been meaning to order one but haven't.

A lot of people seem to like it. A bigger intercooler is always worth it. It's more to help keep temps down and keep power consistent. I don't have the Accord any more. sold it and got an S4. Still thinking about getting an intercooler though. These S4s run hot sometimes.

[QUOTE=p.diddy;16902980]I did a couple of back to back 0-60 runs on my draggy so I could see exactly how much slower it goes after multiple runs. The heat soak is a major issue on these cars. Anything to help there will be a very welcome. Times ranged from 4.8 (first one) all the way to 5.5'ish after 2 runs. Wasn't able to break 5 seconds again until it was cooled off a few hours later. An upgraded intercooler is definitely on my list.

Allright let's all order the intercooler at once lol. Hit PRL up simultaneously.
I wonder if they're in stock sitting on one of the shelves there.

I wasn’t at first but after my type s bbk came and I see how heavy these calipers and rotors are plus when my SSR’s come in that are 3 piece. That’s a lot added weight. I think I’m going to want to get it to make up for it.

I’m trying to keep my heart desires in check and not go crazy with this car lol.
Based on how your 3g TL is I figured you would have been gone all out with your TLX by now lol.
