In the mean time, if you want, you can watch this fail video of my friends dynoing my car at school in Windsor back in 2009/2010. (they failed to set the proper parameters to get a proper reading---so everything kept reading as 18 or 100 or something ridiculously low lol). Filmed via my Nokia N8.

My decklid spoiler should come in early next week, and just while I was browsing kijiji today I find this:

http://ontario.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehi...AdIdZ571814043

OEM Brand New ASM Decklid Spoiler, for $125.
Seems to me like dealers are really clearing out any leftover "accessory" parts for the 3G TL. story05, you gonna pick it up?

If I was closer and didn't already order my decklid spoiler for $170, I would snag this deal.

95minutes left for the video... then gotta rotate the video which hopefully won't take long using youtube's built-in-editor

The video is FINALLY done!!

Background: This was a cold start right after filling up some gas. There is a lot of double-clutching in the video. Sometimes I let it coast after double clutching--sometimes I maintained speed... and the other times I went WOT after double clutching. It's 7minutes long. Most of it is just me cruising at 120km/h in 6th [some cruising in 5th, 4th and 3rd in 120km/h as well]. I never hit redline, shifted 500-700RPMs before hitting the rev limiter.

I don't know what's wrong but I can view the video right-side-up at 360p but it's upside down at 720p?

hahah thanks! Always thought of getting a "my vtec goes BWWWWAAAAAAH" sticker for fun (mainly cause our vtec is more of a growl than a bwa)

yepp!! Originally Kennedy/finch.. But my footage from kennedy-warden didn't record so then I restarted the video at markham/ellemere.
that's pretty cool too, how'd you like Woburn ci?

ah so you ended up with the resonated! In my opinion you should've added it after since I find the exhaust relatively quiet already (until you step on it). As you can see/hear from the video there isn't much noise at cruising speeds (under 3000RPM).
but nonetheless welcome to th ATLP club!!!!! Lets meet up when you install it and host an ATLP only photoshoot/meet :p we can leave those losers with rv6, xlr8, magnaflow, tsudo and etc behind --just kidding of course. I love you all :p

Yeah I know but I wanted the quietest exhaust possible lol. I've had loud exhaust before and it's just not bare able, want something more suttle. Regardless yes I will be part of the ATLP club!

Really? I was reading a thread and apparently the type-s --> pcd is about the same difference of base --> hfpc so that makes it pretty tempting. Overall power increase across the entire powerband I'm assuming?

On a 3rd Gen I'm not sure who has the HFPC but I think Karkraze installed them on his 4th Gen

I already wasn't happy with the job i did, so i re-did the part closest to my TB. instead of having the return hose and sensor at the top, i left the sensor on the top and now have the hose on the back side.. and i also took those ridiculous blue "dress up" shit off; i had it so i tried it out, clearly i didn't like it

Did you use a restoration lense kit? Coz most kits comes with the wax, if not some guys use Turtle Wax

you have 2 options:

1> this kit:
http://www.meguiars.com/en/automotiv...storation-kit/

this comes with a sealant...so after you use plastic X (polish), you can seal them so the wont fade off easily...


2> Using this method
http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/...lant-idea.html



I have used both these methods
Method 1 is amazingly simple and quick BUT the headlight does fade within couple months...

Method 2 is more time consuming and you have to be very very careful. But GOD i love how long the effects last....my headlights have yet to fade out and its been over 8 months I did this...

i used autoglym carnauba wax on my headlights after i restored them, i've had good results with that as long as you wax them one a month or so.

Right now I use Nu-Finish. Blue Magic Headlight Lens Sealer is what I'm planning to use once it gets nice out.
