For Sale

It was fun guys. Pass this on to anybody in the market.

Sorry I missed the big meet. Be safe.

J

 

Damn man sorry to see it and you go. Whats next for you. Also be careful about posting your VIN# on CL i really dont think its necessary until you have a buyer and they need it for the bank.

 

well, everybody wants the VIN these days for CARFAX and stuff. Just about every add on-line has them listed. really, it's not hard to find a VIN, anyway, but I see your point.

damn! I just made a complete mods list with how much I paid. I've put a recockulous amount of money into this girl.

Already bought my replacement whip. Honda Element. My gawd, it's slow. The funny part is my TL gets better mileage!

I had a response 20 minutes after posting. Wait...another one. gotta go make some money

 

GLWS, and even though Ive never met you, its sad to see you go.

 

so when are we having our next meet? Please say after March 14th...

 

Havent heard anything till april for a Raliegh meet or may for SumoSlam in va beach

 

Whats SumoSlam?

 

my bad its SumoSpeed but its this https://acurazine.com/forums/mid-atlantic-311/richmond-hampton-roads-peeps-big-show-going-down-your-neck-woods-758014/

 

On stockies now until i get my rim fixed. Went to Firestone and they said my car was too low to get on the rack, so i couldn't get a alignment. I don't think its that low, but guess i need to raise it up a little.

 

they prob said that cuz they didnt even wanna mess with it and have the slightest chance of scratching it so they prob just said no. Lots of coorperate places will turn you away because they get the buisness elsewhere as opposed to a small buisness owner who will do it for the money.

 

Theres a place I get my alignment done at on Jeff Davis. Let me know if you want to try them out.

 

^^^ I will give them a shot, i really don't wanna deal with raising my car lol

 

So i wanna start on performance for the car. What should be the first couple of things i should get?

 

Intake + precat deletes.

I can get you the name of the shop later. Im at work.

 

i'd def be down for the sumospeed meet. hopefully i can get my headlighs wetsanded by then and get my brakes done finally...

 

Well Precat deletes would be ideal but, dont they get inspection and emission tested up there??? Unless you have the extreme no bullshit hook up on inspection I truly wouldnt even bother.

I have had procats on mine and even at the dealership i still pass with flying colors...but Im lookiing to go the Supercharged route so precat deletes are my only option and thanks to TL2Slow im getting a new set of V2's for free

But yeah Morgan is right intake----pre/procats---Jpipe---keep your stock 3rd cat----remove your mid-muffler if you havent already----any exhaust but greddy evo (ask adrian haha)

 

WOW NO POSTS FROM ADRIAN IN 2 WEEKS


How's that new command treating ya

 

Navy TL - The shop I go to is Express Auto Center. 9720 Jeff Davis Hwy 23237 (804)743-7473

Ive also had mine done at Mechanicsville Honda with no issues. I think they charged me $80 last time. The shop off Jeff Davis is around the same price unfortunatly.

How high off the ground is your car? They had no problem doing mine, but Im not slammed. If your car can get onto a lift they can do it. They use laser alignment tools.

 

My car really isn't that slam, that is why i was so surprise that they told me i couldn't do it.
RonJon, will that make my car loud on the inside? I am not looking for something that is gonna drown me out lol

 

Those mods shouldnt drown out the cabin noise unless your mufflers are really loud. The j-pipe, precats, and intake shouldnt increase noise drastically.

 

Na only the exhaust will give you a possible drone. If you rememeber my car in the Aug 1 meet. I acutally got compliments on my exhaust tone because it sounded pretty close to the 350z.

I had Procats----ATLP Jpipe---ATLP Test pipe---removed Mid-Muffler---and stock exhaust.

I wasnt sure which one of those made the 350z sound until I had instpection at the dealership and I had to remove my test pipe and put back in the stock 3rd cat. The nice growl was completely gone and when i put it back it came back.

It sounded 350z ish between 3500-5000 and i got some good compliments and ppl asking what kinda exhaust that is and all. Hope that helps

 

Thinking about getting the ATLP quad exhaust, so RonJ are you saying not to get the test pipe? You said you had to remove it to get it inspected?

 

ATLP quads =

 

Well the test pipe really is no big deal to remove and replace with your stock cat. It takes about 20 mins to swap out with your car on jacks. A lift would be 5 mins, but since its a yearly task i think its very do able

 

Work sucks! Too tired to do anything. My car is going down hill as well...

Yeah, but I don't think it's worth it. I would invest in a High Flow Cat. That way you won't have to do all that work.

 

Explain!

 

prob because he is too busy and tired to wash and detail like he did before.

I know the feeling with the weather and my work schedule i havent washed my car since the Great falls meet and i need to change my oil last week and my CEL came on yesterday.

It seems that all my days off it either snows or rains

 

Oh, I thought he meant mechanically.

I havent washed mine in over 3 weeks

 

now that you mention he did say he had and issue with oil in the intake and he changed out some gaskets and stuff but im sure that has been fixed.

 

All the above.....

My car hasn't been the same since the Great Falls Meet. It still got some umph......but it has its moments. I know it sounds crazy, but I'm thinking the cool weather is playing a big part. Hopefully... And my car is filthy; even my engine bay looks like I haven't touched it in years. Waiting on the warm weather to take a day to get it back in shape.

 

damn, its been so long since i have been on this forum, i guess a new family and moving to Illinois causes me to have less time to do what i wan't. But since i have been up here, i have curbed two rims due to ice, so now the Acura is parked and i drive the wifes pacifica. And i got rear ended by HM1 right outside the gate. also my cai mount broke and i had to get it replaced. I hope yall are having fun, and who knows, i may be back in VA in about 2 years, but really hoping for Florida next.

 

I have been getting my car inspected at the dealer with no problems, but I dont have the precat delets...

 

Saw and revvved on Adrian at the gas station tonight

Going up to MD to get my Supercharger tomorrow

 

 

D, from my experience there are pros and cons for having an aftermarket exhaust. You have to ask yourself if you want to compromise sound for performance or vice versa. I love the performance difference, but the sound kills me.

If you are set on performance, I would do the precats, j-pipe, High Flow Cat, and resonated catback. Just know that the precats change the characteristics of your car; some negative, but the performance is great! This set up will be very loud, raspy, and droney without having more than one resonator.

If you're worried about sound; you could either keep the stock precats and just add the j-pipe, test pipe and the aftermarket exhaust, or do the precat deletes, j-pipe, high flow cat, and stock exhaust (wish I could have keep this set if I know what I know now.). The only time it will be loud is at WOT.

Not much differences in hps between the test pipe and high flow cat. Maybe 2-3 hps. Not worth it if you don't like loud.

Hope this helps; good luck boss!

Damn bruh! Long time, no hear! Sorry for your troubles, hope you get you car back to normal.

Yeah, that was funny! Didn't expect it.

Uh oh......can't wait to hear that whine!

 

^^^^ Yeah Adrian, the sound of the exhaust is what i am worried about. I haven't seen the new ATLP yet so don't wanna put a down payment on something i haven't seen or heard. Guess this will be a slow process haha.

 

Hey Eric - I saw you on 295 today around 2pm. I assume you got the blower

 

you know it!!!!!

 

Take ya time bru. I went through alot of time and money to set up my exhaust close to what I want. It's still a tap bit droney at times, but I have the perfect balance between performance and sound.

Make sure you do alot a research on catbacks; that will affect most of the sound. Precats; you either love it or you don't. Since I care more about performance, I love it!

You can take that with you overseas to scare some folks.....

 

Eric, that looks more like something you should mount on the hood of your car and use when there is too much traffic...LOL........
