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

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.

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

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.

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
