What?! didnt have anything there this morning when i went through there around 550

Another Oregonian to the thread

Whats that make, 3 TLs and 3 TSXs now?

Welcome to the thread.

 

we are finally growing.. YAY!!

for the bump of death are you talking about between 185th and cornelius pass is, its like a half ass bridge part?

 

BTW we are at 10 pages.. we all must have hard jobs HAHA

 

learned some new stuffs on cars today...
when header gets heated up, it causes the unburnt gas in the exhaust fume to detonate before reaching the cat. so what people here is air whooshing sound what actually is an exhaust detonation.

this makes sense since richie's precat deletes is just a straight pipe acting as a header and when this thing gets heated up, it detonates unfiltered exhaust gas creating air whooshing sound. so unless if i put the cats back on, i'll continually here the air leaking sound.

 

That would be the bump of death. Im the guy ion the slow lane doing 45 half way in the break down lane

And my job is hard......

Thats good to know. Whats your verdict on the pre-cats with that info?

 

My job is brutal

Interesting about the headers, I never knew that, I just assumed it was the flexpipe getting torqued around a bit.

Welcome to Michael921.

If everyone was on here that was at the Wash. Square meet last year we'd have at least 15 people on here posting but half of them have disappeared

 

^ Chris, i texted ya a while ago about going to get some pics tonight.

Let me know!

 

Around what time and where? I am usually available after 7:00, gotta eat and put the lil one down first.

 

much more free reving engine and increased hp is good. but increased drone is

went to exhaust shop and cut out the old tanabe resonator and slapped on longer one for $80 installed. my original plan was to put a smaller resonator along with the tanabe and hear the difference but shop was out of stock on smaller ones.

result is drone is gone. inside is oem quiet. along with drone, loud humming that vibrated into the cabin is gone too. bad thing is, this resonator increased the restriction while quieting down. it doesn't rev like before but definitely gained some low-end torque back. now i might put the atlp race pipe back on and see if it'll rev more freely.

if i don't like any combination at the end, i'll go back to oem precats + atlp jpipe+atlp race pipe and gut out secondary oem resonator.

modding car = test & waste money

 

ya there's also the difference of having something fun and quick to drive around and something more - umm baller?? baller cars dont really come in MT thats the way i look at it

 

lucky you

 

haha ya - i think i just have a lot of time waiting while giant files open.

 

Tell me about the test&money part. lol

Good luck with your set-up.

True true, im going for the "baller" status i guess. Big chrome 19s and scraping the ground means no need for manual trans.

 

Chris. Here are two quick edits before i go to bed.

Wish this one was "straighter"





Click Flickr link in sig to see humongo sizes

 

^ Washington Square?

 

First pic = Yes
Second pic = Bridgeport Village, which is some how not public property anymore...

 

nice clean pics.. wish my digital was better sometimes. too lazy to upgrade.. guess it doesnt matter anyway rain season started

 

haha nothing is public property anymore - especially if your trying to take pictures, which doesnt make sense cuz you could be doing a lot worse things like umm idk stealing somthin

 

Detailed rain pics ftl..

Exactly...if i were to stand infront of any one of the buildings and take a picture of people it would be fine. Yet somehow a parked car next to a wall is bad. I hate rent-o-dickhead-cops. Never before have i had a problem at Bridgeport. Ive even asked security if i could take pics before just because it was around 130am and i didnt want them thinking i was there causing trouble.

Damn kids and there import fast and furry cars

 

pwp vs. wdp

 

Ha, his car was the main subject in the pics. I was burnt out of taking pics of my car. Since last friday ive done 4 shoots. Rolling shots, shots with Min, shots with GTR, and shots with Chris. You can ask him..all i wanted to shoot was someone elses car lol.


Ill have the rest up today, and i know Chris has a bunch.

 

haha hey now - i'm almost still a kid lol - and ur not much older - in fact i think im the youngest person on the oregon chat forum here << yay for me - ill get id'd at the bars long after all of you haha

but at least we dont drive those imported rice cars - we drive luxury - high 5 for us haha

 

I need to get some driving shots some time.. gotta love those pics

FYI dont forget to turn your clocks back this weekend PEEPs,,

 

these look so nice. what kind of a camera do you have?? I really need to buy a diff one - my pics never look this nice.

I used to have an awesome camera and someone stole it

 

Nikon D40x

 

I'll start getting my ready now. It was a good time. Funny how if I want to to bridgeport and blow some cash it's completely public but if I want to take a picture of a concrete wall it's illegal and "no part of bridgeport is public property" that guy was a loser.

 

 

Fullsize pics on my Flickr

Anyone know how to do clickable thumbnails from FlickR?

 

chris i love your wheels

i almost find it funny tl type s wheels are on a tsx thats being pictured with a tl...

 

Kyle - Have you been to Streets of Tanasbourne? (Macy's, PF Changs, Chipotle) They have a parking garage and the mall itself looks good for pics...

 

I took these on top, at Tanasbourne...

 

another person to the chat!!! Welcome..

BTW the second pic were the TL is up a level then the TL is kinda funny.. you sayn the TL is better? hmmm?? haha JP great pics!!

oh and i just ordered a early Xmas gift from santa so hopefully if we do a winter meet i can have it on.. its coming from asia =)

 

^^^I wanna get a present for xmas too from Japan but the wife is adimate against it. Always raining on my parade.

 

Thank you, my wheels were formerly Min's wheels lol. I'd like to eventually pick up a set of TE37's but we'll see....need to go lower first. H-Techs were great at first but now I want to go lower, especially when Kyle's makes mine look like a 4x4

 

ugh te'37s are my fav wheels. i love my mag blue ones i just wish they would fit on my car so bad it kills me everytime i look at them in my closet

and trust me urs doesn't look like a 4x4 compaired to mine lol...i preordered suspension from ksport though =] i cant wait. this is the 4th set of coilovers ive bought from the in last 10 months - personally i think it should buy 3 get one free but they dont seem to like that idea lol

 

hi everyone...


ohhh nice pics....

clee109- your car on h-techs for some reason looks lower then mine. Must be the 18's.

 

UGH.. some sad news last night.. someone mistaked my hood for pavement with a pumpkin =( damn college kids in my area!!! I guess its more reason to get the carbon hood now

 

EuroR08 - I think I'm going to pick up some Tanabe S-OC's for my xmas gift to myself. Maybe Speed would cut me a deal better than heeltoe????? maybe?????? lol

ABP1TSX - My wheels are 17's, the TL-S wheels have a different offset I believe than the OEM TSX wheels, and the sidewall may be a lil taller making the car overall look lower as an illusion???

bluecarbonfiber - that sucks! fecking stupid ass teenagers!!!!!!

 

oh that sucks! halloween is always a good nite for a garage....

 

i previously bought my tanabes from speed concept. much better pricing than heeltoe and it wasn't backordered. took only a week to get it in. but tanabe might have incresed there price too like tein. check to see if tanabe makes coilovers that are compatible with teas. i think teas is much better than edfc.
