Hi everyone. I didn't really care to do this, but I figure it's a community and everyone adds something unique. So here is my TL.

Bought her in 2012. Here she is stock with just a plasti dipped grill..


Me and ma Honda friends.


Swoosh. Because swoosh


First problems.


I am obsessed with plasti-dip. I dip everything not just my car.
I did not like the Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer look.


More dip flair


Holy shit moar dip!

New tag!


Today.





That's it

Switchbacks and LED fogs. These are not the Tritons. These are the towers switchbacks. I'll post a comparison shot tonight.
The LED fogs have a yellow film covering the bulb creating the yellowish white color.

I don't really have any cool pictures but these are the goodies that came in.

 

Dude, post all your pics in one post.

Looks good!

 

^^I had thought there was a 3 pic per post rule. Mah bad!

Next mod

Protecting/insulating intake

 

Nope! I don't know of a limit...never hit it haha.

 

V3 Tritons


Well this is retarded... I thought there would be some noticeable difference.
Well let me tell you, in the daytime you cant see the tower LEDS. It sucks so much that other drivers cant tell if you're turning and accidents are bound to happen.

But these Tritons a super bright even in direct sunlight. Much better than the OEM bulbs. Maybe that's what I should have put a picture of instead.

 

what kind of headlight bulbs do you have?

 

I want to say OEM, they came with the car. But my parents have an 04 base they bought new, and have always serviced it at the dealer. Theirs is a brighter white side by side, so either mine are aftermarket or 07-08s have different bulbs.

 

Wow nice car man

 

Taken care of.....who's your buddy-who's your pal.

 

Does anyone have any tips on how to get these specks of dirt out of my lens? It seems to be inside the actual lens.

 

Might want to try one of these, if you can actually see it on the glass on the inside this should be able to take care of it.




If not, it's on your sensor and you'll have to clean it, whether you have it done professionally or by yourself is up to you. I wouldn't trust myself cleaning the sensor lol.

 

Nice start, nhbp for the weeeeeen.

 

Good night shot!

 

Thanks. That dirt speck is really bugging me though. I think I'll have it pro-cleaned,

 

That's a good one too.

 

Got upstaged today.

 

Yep, throw a NSX into the mix-that's what happens.

Super Clean!

 

Can't say that I like the look of the front end but everything else is decent.

 

that red! get rid of it!

 

^it's not so simple. these are my affiliation tags. They keep me from getting shot on the west side.

 

Love that first shot!

 

It's 2017, small update to my album.




The night before pulling the motor
Had some help from some mechanic friends getting the motor pulled out. The last owner abused the shit out of this car. So far I've replaced every single gasket, seal, fitting, bearing, mount, wire, sensor, and bolted on part with the exception of the internals. Same for the transmission, including a new clutch and flywheel casing, bearings, etc. To be continued...

 

Wow....great pics and compelling read.

 

After an ungodly amount of money and a long time on jack stands, I finally saved this 6MT from the abused life.
One more TL back on the streets!

 

Nice!! So now you have two Type S?

 

Yeah, I'm keeping the auto as a backup. The 6MT is just way more fun to drive.

 

nice progress, lol you still have TX registration tag from 2013.

 

welcome to the two TL owner club lol

 

I'll never take it off. It's a badge of honor.

 

Saving a silver Type S....sweet!

Good looking cars, That's some great power the silver car is putting down. Did you do a dyno before and after the j37 im swap?

 

nice progress, hopefully with all of your mod you will be near 13s flat, the main issue with our car is traction.

 

Heyo! Good to see another Kansan on the sub! I was born in Sedgwick county, but live in KC now. We'll need to figure something out to get our squads together sometime!

 

I did not. The car really didn't feel any improvement until after tuning.
