i heard somewhere that someone modified an accord turbo for our car. I believe it was a 96 accord? one with the 4 cylinder, not sure but really interested in finding or modifying a turbo for my car.

jz983

yea dude, thats what i heard. Many ppl say you can do that. and yea, its from a 96 4cyl Accord. I was wondering if anyone done it already or know anyone who had. and see if they have any feedback? good/bad? thanks

Its probably ALOT more than $1000 and I think it would just destroy the car anyway since the pistons arent capable of handling and kind of boost.

man there's got to be other stuff to do for our cars, i've already maxed out on all the visual stuff just need to make my car faster!!! NOS? anyone tried that?

btw 96tl, i think i already asked you this but i forgot....whered you get those turn lights for your mirrors? i saw some on autodynamic and they were like electro-luminesent stuff. i dont think this is what you got right?

can you tell me where you got them and how much?

unx979

damn those side mirrors look tight!! How much are they and do they fit on our cars?

jz983: exterior wise i shaved off the 2.5TL so it looks cleaner. I originally spray painted the tails so that it's red (looks really nice) but then when i got in an accident i went ahead and go the inspire tails. I got the clear corners from this site and took out the yellow fog covers. I also did my own mesh for the top grille. Also have a pair of PIAA 1000x platinum. About to get tints later. Oh yeah i have some neons for the interiror. Changed some interior lights. Nothing really left to do, or i'm not too creative =P

jz983

i don't think those mirrors are available for our cars. not sure though, check out http://www.autodynamic.com --&gt; under exterior accesories i think.

about your spray painted the tails red. why paint did you use? was it total red, JUST like the red stop lights? or was it a little more pinkish? didyou also spray the backup light? if so, did they turn out a little pinkish? and, correct me if i am wrong (i live in chicago), isn't it illegal to have red turns? or unless they bulbs are yellow? TIA

jz983

o about those mirrors, they are actaully a sticker like sheet that sticks onto your mirror (don't know if availabel for TL though,) if you get them, only the white colored ones ARE paintable....

when i painted the tailight the only part i painted was the yellow part. I covered up the brake lights and the reverse lights. I made sure that it matched as close to the brake light as i can. I used i believe candy apple spray paint from a hobby store. One suggestion is to wait for the first layer to dry before applying another layer. I believe it's fine for you signaling lights to be either yellow or red so it's all good.

hey unx979- what about a body kit? have you thought about that?

unx979

i'd love to get a hand on a body kit but i'm not sure i want to custom make one. Would really like a new front bumper cause mine's all scratched up. And i've had no luck with those Japanese companies either, sucks.
