My build thread, '04 NBP 6MT

Ok so I bought my 2004 TL back at the beginning of the year (2016), and have done a pretty decent amount of stuff to it I suppose. Most has been cosmetic cause the original owner trashed the inside. Outside isn't too bad, needs a few things but overall it gets a lot of looks which are hopefully good looks lol.

Mods so far

-Tein Street Advance coil overs
-Muffler delete (all 3)
-Interior change (basically all of it. I hated the tan)

Not much, been trying to beauty it up mostly. I'll post the before and current pictures.

Car when I bought it, day of. (Previous owners stuff was still in it lol)

Day of purchase. 4800$ if that makes anyone feel better about it. 126,xxx miles

After I compounded, and polished, and waxed, and repeated multiple times. Lol

Purchased used seats front and back from a local yard. Purchased door panels from multiple junkyards around the US.

I now own most of member breezyTLs old TL lol

Carpet is there from him too, not pictures. Nice graphite black.

May interest some of you to subscribe to watch me autoX the car. First video of the TL competing will be this Saturday. It won't be mega special, I'm on all season tires. So next year in March I'll have nice summer tires and show the full potential of the car and my setup. (That's when they resume AutoXing in this area, none in the winter)

Full stiff rear, 4 clicks from full stiff front. Still testing the front settings, put two little holes in the front strut bar to adjust easily without removing the bar.

Typically there's a much better ride comfort if you put the rear 2 clicks softer than whatever you have your front setup. just a heads up for maximum ride comfort without sacrificing performance.

Almost there. Couple more things and I'll be set. Totally different car.

Totalled other TL. Found another 04 TL 6MT a week later. TL very comfortable during a side impact considering it was over 40MPH when I hit the wall. And I hit the corner of the wall in the second pic, it kicked the car back that far.

Here's 2 prior of the accident and 2 of the new. Already came lowered, just trying to make it look like my other.
