you could donate them and claim it on taxes =)

 

haha....i could...but probably not

 

so who's going to the jan 24th meet?

 

what meet on jan 24th?

 

+1

 

this meet....

 

oh i dont know.. i dont think my car is in shape for people to look at.. =( still have my ripple hood with scratches =/ plus winter time is to cold for a nice polish wax job

 

^^ don't be a baby

 

haha i thought it was a good cop out =)

 

half of us copped out on the last meet. We all owe it to ourselves to try and show up to this one! lol

 

we are all lazy =) i put it down in my book to do a huge maybe ill put effort to try this time

 

i found out my hazards dont stay on during the past week while driving with chains. i would click it and it flashes but as soon as i let go it stays off... anyone else with a 3rd gen tl have this problem or even heard of it?? it's such a small thing that i dont want to take time off of work just to bring it in OR leave it with them on a saturday (which probably only takes 15 mins to fix)

 

never heard of that issue.. does it stay on while in park?

 

nope, i press it, it flashes i let go, it stays off... if i hold it down it flashes like normal...

 

odd.. maybe the switch itself is bad (tabs when pressing down broke).. you hear the clicking sound when you press down and does it click when it comes back up? kinda like click click.. or is it just click and nothing

 

i think it just clicks once... i was thinkin the same thing that maybe one of the tabs that lock it into place might have broke. lame... its not like i use my hazards that often so its not a huge deal but if i were to be on the side of the highway tryin to change a flat, i'd be assed out w/o hazards

 

better get some tape to hold it down haha.. im sure you can find a new switch for cheap.. not sure where yours is located at but it should beable to pop out easily.. and you can just plug in the other one

 

Hey everyone I was wanting to find out if anyone would be able to help me install an AEM V2 intake in my 07 TL S. I would do it myself but I just don't trust my clumsy ass to do it. I have heard its pretty easy just gotta make a lil space for it. Anyone think they would be able to help me? I haven't got it yet, I was gonna order it from excelerate soon if I could find someone to help me out with the the install. I am in Albany so I could come up to Portland. Let me know if it would work for anyone. Thanks

 

does the V2 on the TL require relocating the IAT sensor? I did a friends RSX and it was no fun rewiring that thing with the crappy lil connectors AEM gives me, no less the extremely small amount of stock wiring to do it lol

Intakes are really easy though you should give it a shot yourself! You'd probably have fun

 

I'm not sure if it requires rewiring it but I think it may. I would do it myself but I just don't want to screw anything up doing it. Not sure if I trust myself doing it I guess

 

happy new year!

 

both the v2 and v1 doesn't require relocation. v1 have two iat sensor location but only one for the v2.

also v2 wasn't really made for the tl so it'll require some hammering

 

Thats why I am kinda sketch about doing it myself. I would rather have someone experienced help me do it since I don't trust myself.

 

Made time to get the grill installed.. wasnt a bad 30 minute project i like the look not sure how you guys feel
side view

 

biggest pictures in the world! Looks like the fitment is pretty good. Just get rid of that chrome hood trim and it'll look hot.

 

ya i dont know why its always huge on here haha.. i plan to black out all the chrome on the car early spring so im already a step ahead in that thought =)

 

Took ya long enough to install!


Worth the wait though

 

Grill looks good.

Man, more snow this morning. Drive in was good though - still made it to work in 20 mins.

 

parking lot here is all ice, like maybe hillsboro got a touch of freezing rain?

 

I didn't have any problems - I live in the Orenco Station area, near Airport and Shute. No ice there, just about 1" of snow, slushy in my neighborhood. SE Portland had more snow in the lightly driven areas by my office.

 

it was snow and alittle icy.. the curb area has slush from the runing water in my area.. expecting alittle more snow tonight too..

 

rain was pouring down last night and man... never experienced so much hydroplaning during two hours of drive. i was coming home from federal way and I5 was coated with undrained water from pouring rain. starting from olympia all the way to beaverton, tl was hydroplanig 70~80% of the time.

 

btw... here's the resized pics

 

 

wow looks so much better in actual picture size haha never noticed it but the rain and light reflection makes my car look like i have 3 different shades of gray

 

I had the same issues last night as well. The hill leading to my place was a stream of water flowing down it. I hydroplaned atleast 10 times on a 1/2mile stretch.

You guys should see my new lake infront of my place as well. They are building a store across the street, and the basement they dug is probably full with around 10-12ft of water.

Anyone wanna go fishing off my balcony??

 

^^They're talking of flooding now!

 

Its gonna happen just like back in 1996. 4th floor ftw.

So I finally got the VOLKs off today...i should be hit for driving with them in this post-snow conditions. Ive got enough gravel on the inner barrels to start a rock company.

 

^^damn that sucks I am afraid to wash my car to see all the nicks from the rocks in the past week

 

stupid ODOT needs to get the street sweepers out in full force. Loose gravel on dry pavement is just as dangerous as snow and ice.
