whats up guys? have not been in here for a few weeks.... Anyways just thought i'd share what i picked up yesterday ....

Got a darn good deal on these ($1100 )just the tires are not the right size but i can always sell them on craigslist since they still have some meat on them.





three of the wheels are perfect and the one shown has a small 1" rash on the top right corner in the second pic. Now gota get the tpms adaptors and correct rubbers.

 

damn.. 1100 is very good deal
specs on them?

previous owner must've been desperate for money

 

18x7.5
50mm offset i believe... not 100% sure gotta look at the labels on the rims. Going to get some spacers
215/35/18 hankook venus tires with about 65-75% meat left on them.

The guy just sold his mazdaspeed protege and got a S2000 which was pretty darn sweet looking. Not sure why he sold them at that price. But im pretty happy i got these because i almost pulled the trigger on some enkei nt03+m at speed concepts this past week for alot more.

 

these are much better looking than nt03s



kyle, what offset did you order when you tried to get ame tracers?
want something that not many are running here in azine and te37s are too common. i think its either tracers or rpfs now.

 

Yea thats all ive ever seen them on in pics.

As for the tips, im gonna get in contact with mike from ATLP and see if there is anyway i can have them mounted back on mufflers, and how much its gonna run me. Im still trying to decide if i like the side laser etch, or the etching on top of the tip.

I bought these as insurance incase i ever get rear-ended again and my exhaust gets trashed since its not made anymore.

Ill let you know though.


+1 Oregon Volk Crew!!

OMG....those are so nice. What model are they?? I dont think ive ever seen them before. Great pick-up.

Also, let me know if/when you get the rash fixed, i need to touch up a spot on my GT-Ms

 

nice wheels!

 

great lookin wheels.. you got to mount them and take a few pics.. curious to see what they will look like added on..

and MIN it looks like you tore it good.. you think its because of the stress you are throwing at it?

 

I wanna say they were around +40 19x8.5

 

its rarely driven hard on corners and lowered suspensions doesn't do much to stress the rsb mount to rip off. i think the mounting point is just weak. its hollow with a sheet of metal.

 

GT-U.and they have been discontinued for a year or two now. im not sure if im going to fix it or not yet. I might try to blend it out and polish it myself.

 

nice post on jdmlove Brandon!

 

oh i heard about your car - so not cool.
it makes me quite worried about when i get my sway bars.


as for the wheels. it makes me so sad te37's are so over done i'm still very much in love with bronze te's tho and i contemplate them for the TL from time to time so Min just don't get bronze anything haha unless we want to be mistaken for each other in the future

 

oh kyle heard you were at the secret car meet?? did you take any pics?

 

Ah GT-U's...again very nice find.

Kinda like when me and Min both have ASPECs on.

Yea i was there at "The Shop's" open house... Me and everyone else in the team were all thinking the same thing.. "How is this a open house??" We expected to be meeting people and what not...but it was set up like a club with bouncers and everything. Epic fail on a open house...

Did get some free food, and went back outside with the rest of the team to talk about our cars and upcoming events. So no pics... Try checking North West Tuners site, i heard some guy that was taking pics of our cars saying thats where he was gonna put them.

How did you know i was there?

 

No I have the second gen tl type s

 

[quote=sT04Louis;10451219]All mods plans sound good. Get the CAI, idk who said its bad for them but they are mistaken. Who doesnt like more power and better mpg?

And fake mugen spoiler...you sure thats not the one for the 2nd Gen TL?

Mugen makes naddda for 3rd Gen TLs... boo

quote]

Yea thats what I was thinking better gas mileage. Im hoping it doesn't make the car louder though

 

my friend stephen do with the turbo TC was there.
(he just finished he D&G door panels too)

He said your car looked nice. I was like duh white TL's are sexy haha

 

Car will be a bit louder, especially at VTEC cross over. But nothing horrible.

 

Ah yea i heard him talking to Billy about his door panels, didnt see them though.

 

 

um....im sorry but that looks dumb.

ill never be able to understand how clothing company logos belong in a car?...
if your gonna try and put "designer name" designs on your metal door panels...at least try and blend in the door handle and window switch and speaker...

he may love it and thats great. but needs alot of work imo.

 

i plan to do the power steering and altenator later when i do the altenator

 

haha i thought it was some type of sound deadening till i read what you wrote.. have to agree.. dont think i would do that to the doors on my TC.. if anything i would add some micro suade or something

 

dude I was gonna put the lois vuitton logo on my head liner!

 

I'm not a big fan of D & G either way...
i'm not such a fan of fabric in cars - like sweede dashes? and headliners.

I am down for a checkerboard headliner tho

 

Id take JDMLove out of my sig so damn fast...

There is nothing wrong with micro suede on dashes, door panels, etc etc.

Maybe if it wasnt on a sheet metal door panel it wouldnt be so bad. When i think about sheet metal doors i think race car, and not once have i ever seen a race car with clothing logos all over.

Tell him to just put Bride fabric to match his seats on the factory door panels and call it good.

 

how much weight reduction is there really in removing your door panels? I mean seriously maybe 100 pounds? Get rid of that insulation, arm rests, power windows etc... for 100lbs? forget that. If it were a damn honda not a gay-on could pull the red micro suede on the arm rests and panel inserts.

 

I dont think they even weight close to 100lbs. I pulled door panels on a tc before to do a stereo install and i'd say together they are probably around 30-35lbs.

 

page 64? jesus you oregonians talk alot haha. whens your guys' next meet? i have an urge to go on a long drive somewhere soon. im sure i can have some other seattle acuras head down with me too

 

Ive thrown around April for a meet.. but I think we are all last minute people so we havent really set a date.. I guess next month we can talk more about it.. and do a spring meet

 

He has cf doors. and he had to take his door panels off because of conflicts with the 2nd door bar on his cage? if im not mistaken. his tc's is one of the few im still in love with - just wish it was white. and he would buy my damn volks!


meet anytime i'm down! - as long as theirs not rain and ppl will actually show

 

yeah Oregonians do stuff on the fly, or we set a date then decided on that day we'd rather not go.... LOL

 

its like how 50 cents house has LV fabric walls in one of the rooms lol...fabric/sweede doesn't look bad if done right IMO...its just not my thing lol but this explains why we have luxury cars right? we like to have nice interior. race cars are only fun when you want to race. not my kind of DD lol


oh so really sucks for me i still have no $$$ to get my ATLP exhaust and I'm pretty sure I'm just not going to be able to get one now

 

that explains why no one was at the honda tech meet doesnt it

 

Min did you order wheels??

 

ya it does.. maybe we should put in April 11th.. its a saturday.. second weekend of the month.. and everyone knows that sundays are made to sleep in.. church is for sinners

 

Uh...no ones getting ATLP Quads anymore.

wonder what else they will do then

 

i saw that kyle thats what i was talking about-
you think the whole 02.09 batch is gone?? i'm sure someone has bought something to re-sell for more money.

they are making exhuast for a normal TL now...question is what will i buy now if i cant get one

 

why wouldnt the normal exhaust fit on a tl-s? arent they the same length in car? I would think exhaust size would be the same too
