chris your car should be faster.. 06's still had the higher HP then the 04/05 and lighter then the 09s..

 

This is very true, I never said I'd be faster. But my shorter gears might help me a bit

 

im curious what the 09s do the quarter in.. even more so when the v6 comes out

 

Anyone going to the show at KingPin on saturday?

Ill be there showing along with Team Vanquish. Show is from 12pm-6pm.

 

ever since buying 240, my day goes so fast and almost no time for internet + azine

refinished rear seat + trunk carpet with fabric paint and undercoated trunk area while everything was pulled out. also replaced rear brake pads. beater = work work work

 

Haven't heard of that. I know they have a car show sometime next month around here.

 

arent they all like that?? it wouldnt be a beater if there wasnt much work

 

Should be a good time. They have put alot of effort into this one.

 

If any of the 2 or 3 Third Gen TL guys wanna do the MDX intake Mani spacer swap im selling mine.

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...0#post11043940

 

The spacer fits my 2G? I don't remember seeing any 2G'ers install it. What are the gains on the 3G? Prob a bit better torque, but small increase in hp?

 

Not sure if it would or not.

And gains are 7ftlb and a couple hp....this mod is for people with free flowing exhaust looking to gain some low end back.

 

Ah, ok. Even though I have headers, the rest of my exhaust is stock, so this mod probably won't do me much good.

 

Sweet, maybe I'll swing by and say what's up.

I want to enter my car but my front lip is less then appealing. lol.

 

why did you decide not to do it?

 

saw a white tl with chrome rims and tinted windows today in ST.Johns.. i am guessing it was a 3g

 

Aren't you supposed to be camping?

 

 

Clearance issues that have no clean looking solution.

 

So i lowered my car back down another 1/2 inch again....


I always said i would never used a bat to roll fenders...but found myself to day in the garage with a heat gun and my sisters softball bat trying to pull out the pinch that is at the seem of the front bumper and the fender. Got alot of it pulled out, but with myself and a passenger in the car im rubbing like crazy. Need to break down and buy the Ingalls kit so i can dial in more camber than -.5

 

you're crazy

 

good luck on that master chief lol. I would have paid money to see someone on the floor with a baseball bat rolling fenders

 

I should have worded that differently. I wasnt rolling my fenders with the bat, i was simply convincing some metal to form a little different. The way the TLs front bumper and fenders are designed, they pinch when the are pulled/rolled.

Here is a pic of what im talking about.




That pinch makes it so i cant get my finger inbetween the tire/fender, where i have plenty of room on the rest of the fender.

 

^^will the bumper and fender still flush up if you pop that more?

Kyle, you need air runners and a serious camber kit to quench your thirst! lol

 

Yea it sits fairly flush now. Ill have to show ya in person at the next meet.

And you are right. I do need bags, and a new camber kit. Camber kit will come way before the bags though i can tell ya that.

 

bags would put your TL over the top for sure.

Thinking about taking off my RT cat and putting the stock 06 cat back on to reduce a bit of exhaust noise... It sounds good, but a lil loud for my aging ears.

 

It would be nice to do.

Just too many things on a little plate right now.

There is a guy who owns a HotRod shop near my dads house, and he was telling my step mom that he needs show boards made, for cheaper than what hes paying someone right now. Gonna go talk to him about trading some show boards for some paint

 

lolz, aging ears... pussy.

You should drive my Si. Weeeeeee catless.

 

haha.. aging ears... im older then you and i run catless.. lets be real.. was the wife complaining its getting loud?

 

bwaaaaahahahahahahaha PWNED

Thank god my wife likes the car being loud as long as the exhaust doesn't drone.

 

she rarely rides in it, I'm complaining lol, want to sound more toned down kinda like a G35 or 350Z where when you romp on it you hear it but not just crawling off a light

 

Good luck trying to emulate a V6's sound dynamics.

 

Just needs J32 POWAAA.

 

you sounds like me now
something that growls only at wot

even j-series engine cant mimick that G sound.

 

J37

 

I'm bored, who wants to go shooting this weekend?

If you don't have guns just get ammo.

 

No one going to Seattle for Honda Tech? LOL

 

King Pin show > HT


Last time i went to a HT show in Issaquah the HT boards were full of how big of ass holes TL drivers are.

 

i just went shooting on thursday night.. shoulda went =)

 

seattle is to far of a drive for me to waste 2hrs of time and then drive back..

 

nothing like that g35/37 sound with a nice exhaust..

imagine driving my car at WOT.. you think yours is loud.. I dont think you were there when i gave it a parking lot rev
