Well it's settled then.....we'll have bmeyer's s/c TL, versus your s/c g, versus my turbo'd TL Boy that would be a fun little run together!! I just need someone to give me $5600 for the turbo kit that pass put together......hmmm....maybe stimulus dollars

 

Heh.

That turbo kit sounds pretty nuts. I'm running about as much power as I can without having severe traction issues. I can't imagine what it'd be like to launch a turbo'd TL.

 

I know that Slepy put together a S/C fund - I'm sure he'd be more than happy to give you what is left over

 

^haha now thats funny.



Lemme just slap a single turbo on my car and call it a day

Holy balls. Is that a stock bottom-end?

Any other figures on that thing?

 

Thats 8 PSI on the stock block. Just a Precision SC61 Turbo kit. 377RWHP.

 

Here is said car BTW

 

My SC fund didn't do very well... travis once offered to give me $5 so i could at least say someone donated... but the fun stands where it started.

 

Yea i had a feeling that wouldn't fair too well. But hey, atleast you tried.

 

Oh, by the way.. Something is coming in the mail tomorrow, just got into MN... I'll give you guys some teaser pics tomorrow...

 

Sounds good.


If any of you 2G fellas are looking for some junk parts for your cars, I found this autobody shop down in the Bloomington area near Mall of America who seems to pick up alot of junk TLs. I picked up a set of 18" 2004 TL A-spec rims in great condition with fresh tires for $750. Gonna throw em on over the weekend for a cleaner look and maybe sell my black/polish lip Ziniks.

 

i need a set of headlights

 

Matt you better have that 'mod' on for our shoot this weekend!

 

dibs possibly

 

I can't let them go for less than $800 though. They've got about 60% tread left on the front tires. The rear are around 75%. There's a tiny bit of curb rash on one edge of one of the rims (not all around the whole edge, just a small part), other than that, they're all still pretty fresh. I just bought them brand new from tirerack this spring for $1500.

 

There's a shoot this weekend!? Thanks for informing me

 

If you wanna come you can lol its on the west side though.

 

I'll knock a hundred off for local Aziners willing to pick them up.

 

Day/time?

 

Idk if its gonna go down now. My dad took the DSLR...

 

FYI for anyone wanting to replace their RSB......buy replacement endlinks ahead of time! Otherwise you end up driving around with a partially attached OEM RSB! Hope I get the Moog endlinks in the mail tomorrow!

Was not a good night after meeting you bmeyer Thanks for the ride in the TL though!

 

Sorry to hear that, man. You guys should have stayed and drank some beer and played card games instead.

By the way, my harness was waiting on my door step when I got back home Sat. Looks like I'll be able to make a run up to RS sometime this week.

 

05TLRIDER, here's that race pipe we were talking about the other day.
http://r-.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3150259

 

You're right, I probably should have stayed.....oh well. The plus side is that I got to order yet another new (hopefully better) part for the TL!

The link for the race pipe didn't work? Basically loaded a blank page.

 

Hmm. We'll try that again.

WTF. The address keeps getting truncated.

http://r-.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3150259

 

Grrr. They're apparently blocking his site.

r-v6(p).ecrater.com/product.php?pid=3150259

Just remove the '()'.

 

lol. Thanks man. I read on the site that Richie says not to install the precat deletes without a full innovative mount kit. Any guesses as to why? I sent him a pm just now, but thought I'd check with you since you already have them.

 

My guess is that the engine will flex in the stock mounts more than the welds/pipes were designed to handle.

 

You don't have the innovative mounts though, right? Have you noticed any problems? Have you checked your mounts since putting the s/c on?

 

Correct. I'm still on the stock mounts. No problems as of right now. (Though I've only been running them for a short amount of time.) The Innovative mounts should be here next week.

 

Well I got in a little fender bnder the other day. luckily the new bumper wasn't on yet. but I am working on it. anyways, it will take a little bit to get this up to 100%...
oh, the "surprise" was a JDM bumper.. It's at my buddies shop right now, I just finished sanding it down, but i got the foglights here at my house

 

damn you guys have been busy. i've been occupied with my own stuffs and haven't been able to check up as much as i would like.

you got the JDM bumper matt? that's money man, did you get it from overseas or found it locally?

also i've been looking to buy an acoustic/classical guitar since i just took a sudden interest. i'm looking to spend somewhere between 300-500 on a decent one that i can play on for a few years as i get better instead of some piece of crap that cuts my ears apart. anybody have any expertise or recommendations or hell, one they wanna sell to me?

 

oh in case any of you are interested, Minnesota Sport Compacts are having a big old fall cruise in 4 days up to duluth if any of you are interested. they're planning on staying the night and having a meet the next day, location to be determined. hopefully it's in the twin cities somewhere for those who didnt want to spend the night.

Well I should be getting the replacement rear Moog endlinks today, so I'll be putting those on along with the Progress RSB tonight! Hopefully do the UR pulley Friday night if I have a chance.

I put together a list of what to do next and need input from you guys. Options are:
1. RV-6 Pre-cat deletes and resonanted test pipe
2. Accord fogs
3: Debadge
4: Re-tint windows (probably to 20%)
5: Paint engine bay
6: Innovative motor mounts
7: Acura center console carbon fiber overlays

I think I have my mind made up, but am just curious to see what you guys think I should do.

 

You'll have to let me know what you think of the mounts. I'll be curious to know what shape the oem ones are in when you remove them too. When you gonna be back in the cities for your tune?

 

05TLRider, what happened man? Some thin to the TL?

 

I was going to replace the rsb on my car the other night and my buddy stripped out a bolt on my driver side rsb endlink Couldn't get it off, so I overnighted new Moog endlinks. Gonna cut it off tonight and install the new ones She'll be back and running in no time!



Side note to everyone, the mnsubaru club is doing a fall fun run through WI on some rural roads in Oct. I might try and keep up in my TL, but just thought I'd let some of you guys know about it

 

All sound good to me, I like 4 and 5

 

2:30 p.m. today (Tues. 22nd) I'll be at RS getting it tuned.

 

05TLRIDER - I think you should opt for #8: Find the source of the vibration
lol
