Put in 2.5". Don't want to go any thicker cause you will lose low end power... Let me know when she is ready for some shots!

Yeah Tommy, that was me lol. Name's Zach by the way. Any more plans for your ride down the road? Sounds like you've done a lot so far. Good game the other day too...that's one of 3 ice teams I play on.

Good to see a few guys still around here, I was thinking we lost everybody. Looking forward to that CL kit J! I'll probably do the CF front aspec diffuser to go with my trunk spoiler and probably the stock crank pulley soon too. Car's holding up well.

By the way guys, we are doing 5280fest 2.0 this year, correct?

Hey Zach, I've been driving with the Underdrive Crank Pulley for a week now and and love it. The engine runs and revs smoother since there is less weight to spin at the crank.

Spotted a NBP in the Boulder today at the Basemar shopping center. It had New Jersey plates. ASPEC kit, ASPEC wheels, a drop, and cleared headlights. First time seeing a modded TL!

Hey Zach, my name is Nick by the way. No more plans for the ride other than replacing brake pads and rotors with an aftermarket set this year, actually just listed my pcds for sale that mod wasn't for me. That's awesome you're playing on a bunch of teams. I was playing a ton last year as a goalie for 3 teams but tore my mcl and have just recently got back to playing hockey only as a forward for the time being hopefully I'll be back between the pipes sooner than later. Any plans for mods to your TL in the near future?

rebuilding with Level 10? Tried reading some threads on it with not much info, talked with the guys there for quite some time on the mods they do to the valve body and the upgrades to the converter so i'm feeling pretty good about it. Not to thrilled to drop $1500 on that instead of something else but whatev. Can't justify the money for swapping it just yet. For sure if this one fails I will, or Matt's car just might go missing and turn up with no drivetrain....

TC - Lights look amazing. You're just rebuilding? I did the rebuild on mine for $950 w/ one year warranty at Ochoa Transmissions. But then again my buddy called in and had them hook me up.

Getting my F&F type I soon and can't wait until warm weather to start up my projector project. Possible getting the car painted soon too. Should be a great 2012.

yeah all the internals, I already have the updated case from a previous dealer replacement so as long as it's not fucked I should be good.

Hope that whoever ventured out today is safe...crazy ass weather. My TL is safely tucked in my garage and has been all day. Remote workforce = WIN on days like this! My car would've been so dead out there...no way I could drive thru 10-14 inches of standing snow.

Hey Nick, I thought you might get rid of those PCDs...I've heard they're not for everybody, especially with rasp & possible smell. Definitely a power gain, but . And emissions...yeah, NO. lol! Sucks about your MCL, but good to see you're back on the ice. True warrior right there That's why we play! Love playin ice hockey man, I've been playing for a few years, but just last year decided to play a whole lot & focus on building the skills well. I grew up playing roller in South FL...different game entirely lol! When you need brakes, I'd go with heeltoe, their Stage 2 kit has been really good for me (slotted rotors, sport pads, SS lines, & DOT 3 brake fluid I think), the kit was about $600. As far as upcoming mods, I do have a couple things planned...lightweight UR crank pulley & hopefully a CF front lip to add on the Aspec & match my CF trunk spoiler. That might not happen though, depends if the guy is still making them. No driving for me today in this crappy snow lol!
