I really enjoy going to the track! Thanks!

 

enjoyed your 'from a lifesaver to a soulsaver' piece. congratulations on your life journey and finding a calling.

 

^ Thanks, brother!

 

Your car looks amazing man

 

sick ass tl-s, wish i could have gotten a 6speed tl-s...i like the weds yo and slam it more on the 17s! or you dialed all the way down? and the project kics is killin it man damnn

 

I can definitely drop it more, but the stance is the way it is for a reason. I like to go to the track, and being slammed doesn't equate to the best performance. So, I have it where it is for performance/looks. It's a balance of the two. Thanks for your compliments!

 

I really didn't want to do this for the whole time I've owned my car, but I finally broke down and got my front A-Spec lip put on. What do you think?

 

You need to throw that thing away and get one of mine

 

^ Why don't you send me one of yours, and I'll give it a review?

 

looks good

 

Thanks!

 

Here's a couple more:

 

Gauge: Auto Meter Sport Comp Digital Pro Shift Light Gauge (3387)
Pod: Auto Meter S2000 A-Pillar Gauge Pod (20444)

This mod was specifically for my benefit at the track. I'm pretty confident that I'm not only the 1st, but the ONE AND ONLY 3G TL Type-S with this mod!









Props go out to Jaime (jptl04). Yes, there was a thread made already for this here: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/first-autometer-shift-light-install-mt-tl-s-pics-740222/, but this is my thread!

 

hey im bout to order an autometer boost and wideband gauges and was wondering if you got that pod from autometer themselves and where you got the liner that you wrapped the pod in??

looks great by the way!!

 

^

Thanks, bro. I got the gauge for cheap off of Ebay, but you can get both the pod and gauge from Autometer themselves as well. I was just looking for a deal. The liner is felt that Jaime had in his garage. You can ask him (jptl04) directly!

 

Princely, brother-you've been busy! The Aspec kits do look great on NBP's. The meter is sweet. It looks like a high quality install too!

 

^ Thanks!

 

Alright everyone...it's been a LONG time since I've updated this thread, but here you go:

Here's my switch placement for "on-demand" rearview camera viewing:



Here it is up close:



The placement is SO stealth and easy to reach. Just in case you all don't know where it's at, it's right below the steering wheel assembly right on the right-side of the ridge on the driver's side lower dash panel.

I'll give my props to Jaime (jptl04), for thinking of the switch placement location. As you all know, he is the master of custom.

Also, Kevin (acuratech239), just in case you see this, here's an idea of where to place the switch instead of having it just dangle.

 

Here's my hitch which I installed for my hitch-mounted bike rack:

Uhaul part #24755:

 

Here's my bike rack:

Folded:



Unfolded:

 

Finally, here is my mountain bike mounted on the bike rack (2009 Giant Trance X3):

 

Cool Scott, I would trip out if I seen a TL-S zoom by me with that bike rack set up.

BTW, everyone, big thanks go out to Tim (TimTim), and Norm (n0rmal), for helping me with the hitch installation!

 

Nice TL-S princely, I never saw your thread till now. Love the rims.

BTW, As another member stated, I really enjoyed your "From a Lifesaver to a Soulsaver" story as a fellow believer.

 

very nice tl-s, I just looked through the whole evolution of your car, great thread

 

Awesome thread man! I had a good time reading over everything and seeing your photography improve quite a bit

 

+1.. Good job scott!

 

Thank you!





Thanks, Usman!

 

...and to think that you EVER wanted to sell that beauty off to me. haha
lookin' good scott!

 

Just a beautiful transformation from the stock to now!
very

 

 

Nice Giant w/disc setup....

 

yeahhh Giant... I have a 2009 Giant Trance X2 all black. My forks got destroyed in shipping so they sent me brand new 2010 Forks which are white. At first I was like lame..but then I got some gloss white pedals and now it looks kinda sick haha

 

Thanks!

I need to ride it more.

You MB, Sean? Maybe we'll go riding sometime?

Mine's a 2009 Trance X3.

 

nice welcom to the type s club

 

all the mods you have done so far are classy and goes well with the car!..

 

I need to ride mine more also. I used to go a lot but I haven't been in a while. Nobody to go with anymore...

 

Wait, wait...you joined here 10 months after me, and have all of 2 posts, and you're welcoming me to the "Type-S" club?

Thanks, though!



What trails do you go on? I try to go 1/week now, so come down to OC on the weekends!

 

Is this a thread about a type-s, or mountain bikes, and trails????

If you're gonna talk about something other than the car, make sure it has four wheels! Lol!
