Decided to dedicate this thread to the photos of my car that were never put on the forum before she was put back to stock! I happened to be editing my flickr account and noticed all of these that I didn't post while I still had my car together. Figured why not post them?

Some are from photoshoots with friends and the rest are solo.

Hope you all enjoy! All of the pictures that you're going to be viewing (except the first 6) can be found throughout my flickr account in various albums. Cheers!

Rest In Pieces VAL/FANCYTL 2010 - ∞

 

So clean! Thank you for sharing these awesome shots

 

yo thanks man!

 

3rd to last shot Teo. diggin I-5 in the background....

Too bad you parted out the TL.

 

Thanks brotha yea that pic was from one of the last photo shoots with her

 

What lens where you using?

 

shot with a canon t5i 18-55mm lens Kev

 

Gorgeous! This Inspire is really well put together. I feel nostalgic all of a sudden.

 

Thanks, I was like why did I post that when I could have just texted you.

 

Such a beautiful car.

May I ask what roof spoiler that is? Sarona?

 

Peace yo thank you for the kind words. Yea that was a Sarona though

 

Thanks so much man yours was a big inspiration as well!

 

Wow she looked great .. definitely inspiration for my future build

 

wow she looked great .. definitely inspiration my build

 

Thank you for the kind words!

 

This was always one of my favorite UA4's, one of a kind. Definitely admire the time and love you put into it. Such a nice ride.


I am currently working on putting some UA5 PFM's on my car, do you still have any info you could share like wiring diagrams or the like? I plan to take the heated glass form the USDM UA5 and swap it onto the UA5 PFM, then control it all with an ALPS Korea switch (from 01-05 EP3 Civic I think).


And I am curious, did you ever get those SKP Dezign LED side mirror covers fitted and working? Saw this thread but it died rather abruptly:

Sorry to threadjack, feel free to PM me if you'd rather.


EDIT - Nvm I just saw your FS thread for the SKP covers.

 

I've been thinking about getting a front JDM tag for mine - currently I'm not running a front tag. Your car looks great - why did you part it out?

 

Thank you. I used to have a wire diagram for the mirrors but I will have to look through my old PMs because I received the diagram from another member who was going to put the mirrors on his car.

Yea they definitely add a nice touch to the front end especially because the JDM front bumpers are built to have the front plate there. And I parted her out cause I was just trying to invest money in other places.

 

I've always loved everything about your ride

 

thanks so much man!

 

did u sell everything

 

Absolutely LOVE the VIP look!

 

I love the rims you put on it. It looks extremely clean but not too "blingy"... well done! My favorite is the rear-portrait shot.

 

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks a lot! It's cool to see she's still getting love

 

Well now......here is THE example of what I needed to see, with many mods that I had planned for my TL.

Thanks for sharing the pics, it helps to see everything put together in one package, and put together VERY well.

Appreciate the attention to detail with your car......nicely done.

 

Hey thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind words!!! I definitely put all the heart and soul I had into this car and am glad to let it live on through its pictures and hopefully inspire others along the way!

 

Was looking at the Intersection lights, looked like you lined it up with the fogs, which makes sense.

The bumper pole, is there actually a 'right' spot for that, or wherever you choose to put it.

Definately an inspiration.......and great reference!

 

Yea with the intersection lights they have a template for the TL that I downloaded, printed/cut out and laid on the bumper for reference before cutting it and it fit perfect in that spot. If you're REALLY lucky when you search, you can find them already installed on the JDM bumpers cause they were a factory option as well, but they're nearly impossible to find like that nowadays.

And the bumper pole is already built in to the bumper, as some of the jdm bumpers had the pole as a factory option as well.

 

I am going to have to use my own judgment for the intersection lights/bumper pole, since mine is an 03.

Not 100% sold on doing the bumper pole, but, we'll see.

 

I've seen the intersection lights pulled off nicely on an 02/03 model before.

But yea, the bumper/parking pole is mainly for looks as opposed to function, unless one really sucks at parking, in which case, the light maybe be useful LOL

ALSO, for those who still follow me and keep up with my progress in life outside the boards, I just created a website which can be found in my signature.

The link is mugenspire.com and it has all things related to mugenspire, including the history of the name itself. I hope you guys check it out.

I also found a few old photos of my car before I parted it out in my archives that I will post for kicks soon!

Peace!

 

These are pretty much the last of the good quality shots of the car I could find from the archives! Hope you guys enjoy them! Thanks for always showing love.

Also, be sure to visit the link in my signature for the official mugenspire news and share with your family and friends and supporters!

Onto the pics!

Not sure if I missed it somewhere, you were on coilovers in these shots?

If so, do you remember what spring rate they were?

It's too bad there was no JDM bumper for the 02-03 TL.

Doesn't mean something can't be done to make the JDM goodies work.

Great shots of the car, though....again.
