Sounds like everyone had a good time at the meet, I was on my way back from Road America and the ALMS races.

WannabeG

Yea, Josh, it was a good time and fun to be had by all.

asujosh1

I heard Kyle had an 'interesting' time...

BlackuraTL

BlackuraTL

WannabeG

Ill let Kyle explain his interesting time. I didnt see it happen haha

Slepybear

Alright, i've been thinking, and I think my next set of mods will be...
-Green carbon fiber dash overlay kit found here Here
-I've been looking around and might try to get Type-s intake manifold, throttle body, and some other stuff found here
-Slotted and drilled rotors- I think i want to go gold like This
-Black out the headlights
-Rear window lip

When I pay for food, I make a strong effort to finish it. I also took a 2 hour nap when I got back, before I had to go into work lol.

Carmodifier

I'll share some pics of Kyle's "interesting time." Sorry the pictures are SO BIG. I don't know how to size them down on here. If anyone knows how to size down pictures on here, you should let me know how to do it.

These kind of tread marks can only lead to 1 result...


The result...


And here's how he got out...


I'll let Kyle explain how this happened lol.

BlackuraTL

Fail retry travis

WannabeG

+1 to the fail. Pics dont work lol

Slepybear

Figure out my camera.. I'll upload any pics and videos I have... But I think travis is the one who has the "kyle incident" pics

Slepybear

Hopefully vids in the next post.. I woulda taken more pics but the battery was almost dead so I wanted to save it

Slepybear

Not sure if this'll work...

Carmodifier

I'll try this again. I hope it turns out this time!

Alright Kyle, now it's time for you to explain how this happened and your reaction during/after the incident.

WannabeG

Matt you got Jorge and I's pull! LOL I had a slight nudge on him :o

WannabeG

And man, kyle. Those are some nasty skid marks.

BlackuraTL

Check out the 4x4 action in those shots

WannabeG

Its a good thing you weren't lowered! I bet if that was slappy down in there, we would have been calling a tow truck.

ts_vaj

So was this the Azine summer meet as well? I should have checked this thread sooner. Great pics. Looked like fun. I just got back from out of town and was bored shitless that day too.

smokincivic

Took these shots while i was in Rhode Island last week. Saw this pretty nice looking TL until I looked at the sides. He had like funky fender scoops lol. Minus those and his ride would be pretty nice. Those lambo doors actually looked alright lol but i still believe lambo doors should stay on a lambo lol

ts_vaj

Lambo doors isn't my thing but that is pretty clean ride! Wonder if he's on Azine haha.

Hey Smokin, Is that your car outside the Viet deli in the mornings?

gunner252

Has anyone had a problem when trying to configure your keyless memory settings (3G TL) & it says, "customizing not available until linked to remote"? I've never seen that. I plan on calling the dealership, but wanted to check here too.

ts_vaj

Have you tried to press and hold lock and unlock at the same time until the LED turns red? That should link the remote. If it blinks twice then you've unlinked it.

gunner252

I think that's what got me here in the first place. I was messing around w/it yesterday. I'll give that a shot. Thanks.

gunner252

That worked. Not sure why it would 'disconnect' the remote, but whatever. I was messing around trying to see if there was a way to roll all the windows up, the same way the all roll down when you hold the unlock button. Guess not.

asujosh1

Good job Kyle, looks like you really managed to dodge a bullet with that one. Maybe you should come out to an auto-x to actually see what your car is capable of?

If you want to come to the Amery Airport Speed Run, I'll give you a ride on Saturday so you can really see what's possible.

WannabeG

Hey Josh, i am rocking a Subaru right now.


Granted, it isnt an 08 STI, or even an impreza for that matter, but it is a Subaru! 96 Legacy Outback. Oooo stylin

Temp ride for a couple months. It is my sisters ahaha im taking it to Fargo with me this weekend.

Phantom_of_the_Acura

You can't roll up the windows remotely because of the risk that if someone was in the car and had thier arm or head sticking out the window when you started rolling them up from a distance it could hurt them.

You can roll up all of the windows at the same time at the car insert your key in the driver door keyhole and turn it so it locks the car then turn it again and hold it and all of the windows will roll up.

gunner252

Good to know. Thanks.

smokincivic

I am at Ha Tien almost every morning lol down by western and then I drive by your place almost everyday. I saw you last week. i pulled onto UNI from Fairview and you rolled right pass me lol....probably didn't know it was me cause my car is still bone stock and at that time ihad a cracked windshield. You was with someone else too in the car, not asian though but yeah when you stopped at the red light before snelling I was going to say wassup but there was cars behind me trying to go south on snelling. Whats your workplace called?

The other option is to buy and install the window rollup module from KP Technologies. A bunch of guys on the forums have done it. Just google KP Technologies and I think the part number is HM20 or something like that. It's pretty easy to do from what I've read and have been thinking about buying one myself. It's only $50. It works the same as the rolldown feature, except you hold the lock button on your remote.

When I have spare time I might think about doing that mod, but considering I still have two more mods sitting in my garage I don't see spare time coming anytime soon.

Slepybear

I was just looking around and saw that the WI and Chi-city guys are meeting up in milwake aug. 30th... I think it would be pretty sick if we got a couple MN guys to go to their meet, plus it would be pretty sick, they have like 30 cars or so that are showing up. What do you guys think?

smokincivic

whats you guy's thought on this body kit???? seriously thinking about it. I love the OEM look too but I want something different.

Also just picked up 4 Bridgestone Potenza G019 Grid 215/45/17. The treading is what caught my eyes. The handling so far is pretty good. It is kind of loud on the highway but nothing I can't live with. Went to tiresplus and paid $520 installed. Not too bad of a deal. I've been checking other places too and they have these tires going for about 20-30 bucks more. My other option was the Falken ZIEX but I didn't like the treading on that tire lol.....

I was worried about getting these potenzas since my last car, 2003 Maxima, had them and they was worthless. But the sales person assured me these are way better than the old potenzas.

Slepybear

Not a big fan of the kit, though i think i did consider it some time ago.. it is just too ricey for me... especially that front bumper

ts_vaj

I like the sideskirt. It could flow really well with the OEM front and rear lip haha.

Hey Matt, did you get a front lip or something? I'm gonna see if I can get a fix for my black housing headlights within this month and that should be the last thing I do to this car.

Slepybear

Don't be done! did you do your headlights yourself? wanna help me if you did?
and I took some home depot type garage door sealer and screwed it under the bumper, so i won't fuck up my bumper anymore than it already is. plus it's kinda stylish, haha

ts_vaj

Not really sure on how I'm gonna do it yet. I'm too busy these days to mess with the car, I'm always driving it. I might even just have someone else do it for me Just dying to get rid of the yellow corners and have a cleaner look. I really wish I could just buy them pre-made and slap em on. I see them for your car on ebay. None for mine. Also thinking about repainting my whole car after this winter. Same color.

Anyways your hellkitty is very clean. The paint is so mint. You should grab the side and rear lips too if you can keep the car. I think with the gains from your bolt-ons, that should be more than enough power to get you through anything you need daily until you upgrade the whip in the future.

Anyone know what happened to the guy who was gonna turbo his 2G TL-S? He had a silver one I think.
