Lexus Rims on an acura.. who woulda thought.

They look nice though! I like the SSM

 

Thanks! I like them a lot and have been getting quite a bit of compliments on them. Gotta love when some random chick says your car is sexy.. Prob should have capitalized on her talking to me.. Then again the GF would probably have my balls if I did that..

 

Yup, from what i remember about girls they sure don't warm up to a wandering eye

 

Lol true story.. God my GF flips out when a random girl just looks at me in "that way", let alone if I were to talk to another girl..

 

I'm a man of few words

I'm in the process of getting my house ready to sell and my workload at Allina has been infuckingsane....so I don't get on here much....or out much.

 

That is sharp!

 

The RonJon Inspyres look good xpressobeans & luckyjakob! I was actually considering those wheels, but I ended up going with the Legend Type IIs

+1



Welcome!

Who is going to the 2012 Acurazine Meet? We should start our own attendee list

 

Thanks! I actually wanted to pick up a set of the first Legends either in Liquid Graphite or the Grim Reaper edition, but the I couldn't pass up the Inspyres! I'm glad to see people are diggin the Inspyres

 

I want to say 4 of us are signed up on the official list, but I'll start our own attendee list

1. Luckyjakob

 

Thanks . Sticking to my original plans, instead my brother sold his set to me and I didn't have to buy brand new. While he upgraded.
Thank you .

You know it . I'm not that much of a speeder anymore, only 5 mph above the posted limit or sometimes just speed limit. As I'm enjoying my ride from point A to point B. I haven't gotten any kind of tickets so I hope to keep it that way.

Jake, new wheels looking good! Drop it and finish off the Aspec lip kit and you're golden.

 

Dude a few pages back lukyjakob,WBA 01,MN07TLS, and I are going.

 

Thanks bud! I got the front lip on there, will be picking up the rear lip before the KC meet.. hopefully. I think I'm going to skip the side skirts, not that big of a difference for me to spend the money

A drop is planned sometime this year though. Debating if I should go with the Eibach ProKit or not.. didn't do much research before I picked up the Eibachs lol

 

Here's my rule of thumb on speeding: 5 MPH above posted speed limit on city roads, 10 MPH above posted speed limit on county roads, and 15 MPH above posted speed limit on highways/interstates. The Escort Passport 9500ix = my most valuable car modification

Yeah, I saw that. I just wanted to see if anyone changed their mind or if anyone else was planning on going

 

My new wheel thread, since everybody seems to be making them now a days lol. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/ssm4drs-new-staggered-wheels-updated-12-25-12-a-851388/

 

What up guys, im thinking of going with this set up... what do you think? Will I need a camber kit or can I get away without one... It should only drop about 1.5" at the most.

If that's what you want that's cool dude If I can give you some feedback Dan a guy that used to be here when we started this thread he put Teins on his CL and lowered it the handling was incredible but the ride sucked it was way to stiff it was terrible driving in Downtown. Way to stiff.

 

I hear ya, I had Teins on my stratus and it was pretty bumpy, I likes it though. I dont drive in downtown... Im a suburbanite now...LOL!

Price has alot to do with my choice as well. I wanted coilovers but then Joe brought up a good point about snow and road salt getting into the threads during the winter.... Plus, they cost more than im willing to spend on a car that is not going to the track. This set up will cost me around 700 with shipping and taxes. the spring/strut combos i was looking at cost ~750+ BEFORE shipping and tax. Im still deciding though. there isnt anything IMMEDIATELY wrong with my suspension now, I just hit 125K and I know they will need to be changed sometime so might as well get something I want.

I do think I need to fix the sway link though. When I hit bumps i hear a clanking noise in the left front. I was waiting for summer to do it but since summer came early this year I guess ill take care of it sooner....

 

If you need a hand give me a call im always down to help out.

 

Lot what the cat brought in,.Hi Mike good to hear you still come for a word or two. Are you like married

 

I hear you mine is solid and perfect right now

 

Looks good When is boost for Boobies?

 

April 28th!!!

 

Who all is going? I'll be there.. If enough people go from here we should set up a meet

 

Just got my deck lid spoiler today, I will be installing it this weekend hopefully

What was the 3M tape that you used for your rear windshield spoiler that you used? How is it holding up? I want to make sure this spoiler is going to stay great

 

Koni yellows were awesome on my previous car 02 Accord coupe V6 paired with Ground control coilover sleeves. Before you do go ahead and buy that set up, read this thread if you got some time: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-97/those-have-lowered-tl-tech-article-lowering-786979/
Thanks . It's on the 28th of April.

Right on .

I'll be there for sure .

Congrats . The 3M tape I used on my roof spoiler is: http://www.mcmaster.com/#3m-4929-tape/=gs1nqg. And since you're putting it on the body and not glass, I think the 3M tape they supply you should be more than enough.

 

Thanks. I was doing a test fitting tonight, and I'm not sure it's an exact match.. The spoiler is flexible.. I've never really seen one that was flexible like that.

I might need someone's help putting it on.. Will provide compensation in some form whether it's cash or booze or steaks

 

My cheap ebay trunk lip will be here 3/27. Got the painters tape ready but I'm going to find someone to help and take my time.

 

Hey Joe, what do you think about this? If i read this article right, no one should ever lower their car EVER!!! To me, if you dont want a bumpy ride, then stay with stock. I understand what is being said, I get that using lowering springs and shocks will make your ride bumpy and you lose shock travel, that's what happens when you lower the car, travel gets less... If this was a track car, then I would worry about inertia, and shock travel, and precision handling through corners, this is my everyday car. Trying to "backyard mechanic" my shocks to increase travel to optimize ride quality to keep the same ride as stock with the look of lowered? WAY too much work. Not everybody has time to sit around and think up ways to perfectly tune absolutely everything. Its just like everything else, if you want the same gas mileage, don't boost your car, if you don't want a tint ticket, don't tint your windows. This is a luxury car, if you still want luxury, LEAVE IT ALONE!!

Anyone else feel that way or am I the only asshole?

SSM4DR, thanks for the heads up though.

 

Point blank....your not going to be able to lower your TL and keep that "smooth, luxurious ride" unless you are willing to put in a whole lot more time and money than what you probably expected.

Hey guys, you guys know anyone lookin to buy a 6spd Anthracite Metallic 2004 TL? I got it from Florida last fall, lookin' to see if anyone's interested. Has some miles on it, but all maintenance records from previous (the first/original) owner.

 

U guys offer prescription for windows tints?

 

Well there you go... I'm not one of those jack asses that is surprised when I lower my car that its a rougher ride. This isn't my first rodeo! My status had KYB'S with tein s-tech and it was rough but nothing I couldn't handle. My girlfriend on the other hand...hated it but that's cool, we can take her car when we go on family outings...lol

 

SON OF A.....!!! Too bad I used all my money for my wedding! . I have an auto AM '04... I WANT A STICK!

 

Hey there,
I am not sure what the eye doctor heres policy is on that. He's in the office MOnday, I will run it by him.

I use an outside dr and she writes me one though.

Or have her buy it for you as a wedding gift! OR put it on your GIFT registry lolololol.
