Yes I have put sea-foam in My gas as far as the other stuff with the vacuum hoses no. I thing the tank sea-foam is fine. If you hate your car because of the expense to do upgrade. Every upgrade will cost you money on any car unless is a Yugo.

Evil_Pineapple

P
I have done the same upgrades to my TL that I did to my stratus except suspension and I spent less money on my stratus. Springs and shocks for the strat cost me less than 400 bucks. The same set up for the TL will cost between 650 and 850... That sux... I even did a rear drum to disc conversion to the strat and it cost me less.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to do upgrades but DAMN!!

Anybody knows somebody who drives a white 3rd gen TL with white wheels? I ran across it today again around the Brooklyn park area. Last time after coming home from installing my coilovers, we both were on hwy 252 making a left at the light. If you're on here, I'm the ssm TL that's slammed on web type wheels, full a spec lip kit & tints at the time.

Thanks for the help guys. I was debating going with the Eibach ProKit springs. Subtle drop (1 inch front/back), improved performance and looks, yet I think I would still keep somewhat of a luxury ride.. Anyone here have the ProKit installed? Any issues in the winter with it?

As for wheels, what do you guys have on your rides? I was thinking about going with some black/dark grey wheels, I have my car murdered out now and want to keep the scheme going

Evil_Pineapple

I have stock rims painted black with my "custom" balding tires...

So what's up fellas... Are we having a meet this sunday?

Takata 18

Did we agree on having a get together and crashing the Honda meet. Except Mike wanted to have it at the euro meet. Lets start putting some input.

Takata 18

I am going the same route with Rims. My other TL had gun metal wheels. I do not know what I am going with yet. You can check out my photos in my Garage

Takata 18

Your right it sucks but the TL is nicer than the Stratus. Luxury cost money.

Takata 18

WTF I went in to my Garage and all of my Photos are gone.

Evil_Pineapple

And thats the exact reason why I hate it AND love it

Evil_Pineapple

I get to go home today and pull my driver side headlight out and find where the water got in.... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I talked my dad and cousin into going with me to the Wheels of Italy this Sunday so that is my vote. I wasn't impressed with the cars at the MN compact car meet, present company excluded, and I would like to see what type of Italian cars show up. Of course I have already seen an Enzo, F40, Veyron and a Koenigsegg CCX in person and sat in an SLR Mercedes so it is hard to impress me. Or maybe it is the BMW douchbaggyness infecting me

Evil_Pineapple

I would rather go see the Italiano's also... Hell, even our cars are a step up from everyday, run of the mill Honda...

Ya the mnhondas meets are pretty lame they mostly all have civics and integras.

WHEELS OF ITALy

Time Sunday, August 28 · 10:00am - 4:00pm

Takata 18

That's cool I am still going to the Hondameet if it is lame then I will go to the other meet. Hey joe you still going to the Honda meet let me know.

Takata 18

Hey are you coming to the Hondameet? Joe and I are going. It's in Woodbury. Some guys are going to the Italian meet. We should cruise together to the Hondameet and if it is boring we can cruise to the Italiano meet or we could go to BWW, or we can cruise.

I like jorges idea!

I run the Eibach prokit and have been pretty happy so far - about 2 years now. I didn't notice a change in ride quality, but I do notice the increased speeds that I can corner at....as I tell people, "I don't speed much, nor do I slow down for corners." it's not bad in the winters as long as you have some good winter tires. I have been running Nokian WR-G2's in the winter and think the car feels like it is AWD.

I Have the Prokit installed on my car now, i like it a lot. It's gives a nice look without much of a harsh ride. I just put it on this spring so it hasn't made it through a winter yet, but its staying on so I'll let you know how it goes.


That was my thought's as well, i know some of the guy's from the ricekiller meet's are going to the honda meet as well. Plus i like the crazy swapped civics and integra's, has much as people hate it, its' the reason most honda performance parts are made. The biggest push in real performance piece's for the J series motor's was after the Hasport started make civic swap kits.

Evil_Pineapple

I will say one thing, im not driving to woodbury then all the way over to Lake calhoun... My whole reason for showing up to ANY meet on Sunday is to kick it wit my boys!!! This is supposed to be an Acura get together so I think that should be the focus. I will go to either the Honda meet or the Wheels of Italy but Im only going to one of them. If the concensus is to go to the Honda meet and the majority wants to go there then that's where I will go too.

Takata 18

Just got back from Milwaukee dropped my daughter at Marquette. It was hard to leave my one daughter that has never been away from me for more than one month.

Evil_Pineapple

Just FYI, I have a UR pulley for sale in the black market. Link

GLowrdr

I go there a few times a week. They have a Fairview Clinic on the 2nd floor

I work for Fairview, but get paid by HP (so technically I would almost be considered a vendor since FV get reimbursed for my time). I used to be in IT, but now I ONLY fix HP MFP's in the Fairview network. Everything as far south as Prior Lake and Ridges, up to Chisago and Milaca. Good thing I like my car. lol

Evil_Pineapple

So.... What are we doing guys? The Honda meet or the wheels of Italy?

Takata 18

I really appreciate the what you say here I enjoy kicking you all to.

Takata 18

Thanks man. I thought it would be easy but its not. The day she brings a boy home you invite all of us we will have a talk with to really straighten his shit. There is nothing like intimidation.

Takata 18

The Honda meet.

Evil_Pineapple

Exactly! The little punk won't even know what hit him!


Sounds good! Are we meeting somewhere them driving in together?

Takata 18

Evil_Pineapple

Yeah, i saw it earlier and was going to post it up here. It was good to hang out with you guys again for the day. Seeing all the turbo's really makes me want to dump the supercharger and go turbo. I have all ready checked for clearance and i think the supercharger will fit the odyssey...

nate_0022

iTrader: (2)

Well If you want to get rid of that supercharger hook it up to may car Joe!! Also, did you swap your wheels to 07-08's?
