Oh yeah thats right Tyler isn't going haha

CCColtsicehockey

This is an Acura meet everyone wants to see the TL. I think it is stupid you say you are bringing the Lexus. The TL is beautiful and it is one of the top TLs on this site period.

The IS is gorgeous but it's an Acura meet.

CCColtsicehockey

The IS doesn't belong at this years IA either. It looks good but show off your major hard work on the TL.

ACCURATEin

Oh I didn't want to tell anyone but the TL will be down for a while as it will be going through some major changes. It's going to be hard not to tell anyone, but i'm going to try. Hopefully everyone will like the changes.

CCColtsicehockey

Your just keeping it down cause you are mad my car was down for so long and so that is why you are doing this. Really you just need to fix your EVAP canister so you can pass inspection.

t0psec12etpanda

Eric the tl need to stretch out it legs and run, burn some fuel. it been whining to you to drive it alittle more now adays.

it suck that my tl wont be lower or the rear a spec lip wont be put on for the meet. been too busy with school/ase certification and work that it gonna be on the back burner till IA, still waiting if i can get off work for IA also.

and tyler your going to be going to coilover soon? what you gonna do with your tein s tech spring? thinking the spring will be better for my wife and her driving vs. the coilovers.

gonna go scout out that parking deck to see how those route are. gonna check out the uncc meet too.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Interesting.

ACCURATEin

I know, i know...i'm sorry but I can't help the situations that happen.

Yeah, thanks for the compliment on the IS, but unfortunately the TL is under the knife.

Oh I guess I will have to hitch a ride with someone then if the IS doesn't belong. Will you have any space for me to fit?

I was really blown away with the level of quality within your build and it truly inspired me to do great things, as such, to my TL. So thank you for your inspiration.

I know, i know..i see the temps on saturday will be prime for the intercooler and it's going to kill me not being able to drive it around.

I can't wait to see your type S.

CCColtsicehockey

You can help repairing the TL. It is a quick simple fix you just don't want to do it.

You know what I meant. I meant in comparison to the TL. The IS just isn't on the same level as your amazing TL sir.

I was going to get a set of coils from my buddy but he decided to keep them

Eric, I thought you proposed to Dorhty? Seems like you and Jason are the married ones

MissAlyyTL

sorry to interrupt you guys but when I saw this on instagram I just hadto share LOL. Did you know this pic was floating around the internet of your car? :p It's the po-po!! lol

Beat-Freak...

That was Eric messing around.

Come to this weekends Azine meet.

MissAlyyTL

If I could I would! Unfortunately Saturdays are completely crappy for me The husband works all day, hard to find a babysitter (and i wouldn't dare bring out all 3 brats without him, they have me completely out numbered lol). Not to mention this Saturday I have to drive my cousin around for errands and to the airport bc of a death in her family and she refuses to drive on the highway (go figure).

This year I'm going to try to stay in the loop tho, lots of new mods now thanks to tax season! Haha. Just installed an aem cold air intake last night (yep, i got my hands dirty!) , and swapping out the cut neuspeed springs for coilovers, aspec lip kit, and maybe a few other surprises. Gotta show my baby off! LOL

t0psec12etpanda

tyler i would gladly trade you my d2 coilovers for your s tech spring. that and your help to put them in my car.

ACCURATEin

haha I made that CMPD photo last summer. I never thought it would start traveling around the internets like that.

Beat-Freak...

Oh snap. Thats a deal. He has been wanting coilovers for awhile.
And we've been bothering him about getting some.

t0psec12etpanda

i can't say that the deal of the century, my d2 were in rough shape, only had like 10k mile on them but been sitting in some guy storage unit for a year and some change so it develop some rust on the spring. and threads, in process of sand blasting the spring and putting on a spray can coat of black to keep them protected. gonna wire wheel the threads and coat them with anti seize. so it kind of even i guess. plus gota reuse the top hat, since they were for a accord.

MissAlyyTL

LOL! When i saw it I said to myself, hmm I recognize this car. I wonder if someone altered his photos without him knowing. Still looking good though!

Well, I have no choice but to part out my car. If anybody knows anyone looking for a J30A1 let me know

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

I'm very interested. Keep me posted about having them redone and such and if you're serious, I'll drive to your place and do the swap.

I do have a few concerns. First, my spring/shock combo has over 80k miles on it. Everything is fine but knowing my luck, we will put my setup on your car and a shock will blow. Would you put the S-Techs on your stock shocks or want to just totally swap my shock/combo over? Second, I haven't messed with suspension in over 3 years. I know the rear seat comes out and I know I can get the front swapped, but the rear scares me. Maybe we can hire Bee to come and help

Are you looking for cash on top? Were they made for the TL or are they for an Accord or what? Height and dampening adjustment?

I was set up to get coils next week but my buddy backed out

If you guys want to throw some money to a coilover fund for me, feel free



Sorry to hear Bryan

t0psec12etpanda

bryan, why you got to part out the car? it just need a transmission right?

tyler, i honestly just wanted the spring, your going to need your top hat for the coilover. the coilover was made for a 02-07 accord which i heard are the same thing as tl shock wise but they have a 5 bolt top hat vs tl 6 bolt top hat. it should be both height and dampening adjustable i might be missing 2 knobs to control it. plus i am missing the wrench. i think any coilover setup wrench should fit. but it has all the bump stop and washer, nut and stuff to assemble. once i have them clean up and partially assemble ill take some picture of them.

CCColtsicehockey

I have done a suspension install on the TL. It is a piece of cake in the rear. You just have to remove the C Pillar covers and then the entire back seat. It is rather easy though. You can find several copies of the service manual on the net as well.

CCColtsicehockey

Damn sorry to hear that man. The car looked good. Good luck with the part out.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Sounds good! Keep me updated. If you're willing to do a straight swap, I'll contact D2 and see if I can order those parts if you can't find them.

I remember taking the rear seat out and such (what a pain in the ass) but I think there's a spanner nut or something that has to be taken out that isn't found up front.

Want to come help?

CCColtsicehockey

I don't remember needing anything special. Lets put it this way. I had all the tools needed to do it when I did it.

CLtotheTL32

Then bring your shit and help. I'll take you out for some beers afterwards. I know you like beer

CCColtsicehockey

Depending on the weekend my garage may be available.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

That would be great! Thanks man. You know as much as I do about this, so between the three of us I'm sure we can pick a date

t0psec12etpanda

if your going to contact d2, call urban import in chapel hill. there a direct distributor of d2 on the east coast. i have bought a set of coilover/rim from them when i had my 240sx. i think my contact there was jerry.

hopefully we can make this work. cause i am tired of looking at the tl being all high lol.

ACCURATEin

I'm excited to see everyone's progress they're making or going to make. Keep up the modding everybody.

Beat-Freak...

Sorry man, just get a TL?

Maybe i can help, my girls 99 Acura CL needs a bunch of parts for it, we are currently trying to do alot repairs on it because she wants to keep it a little longer. And you can make some cash. Text me 704-258-7822 Bee

Tyler im down to help if you come down and the deal goes through Even though im not good on working on anything.

CLtotheTL32

iTrader: (3)

Damn really? That's great info! Thanks. When you get a chance, look at the coils and take some pictures of the model #s and such so I can give them specifics.



Sounds great Bee! Thanks buddy! I can't work on shit either so I need as much help as possible

Hey guys,

It's been quite a while since I've posted, but I'm back with a question. (A friend in need is a pest, am I right?) It's about time for new tires on my 09 TL SH-AWD (18 inch rims). I've been looking at the Michelin Primacy MXV4. I've always been partial to Michelins for ride quality. So, two questions:

1) Any tire recommendations? I dont autocross or anything, but I do drive aggressively. I would want something in between performance and value.

2) What's the best place to buy and get them installed? I used Discount Tire with my Honda Accord before, and have always been pleased with the work. Anywhere else cheaper and / or better?

thanks!

I've recently decided ebay is the fastest and cheapest way to buy tires. That's what I did about a month ago. Then had discount tire install them.

i have the michelin's mxm4 on my wife acura rsx. they been holding pretty well, i think i have about 10-15000 mile so far and it bearly wore down. can't really say to much on performance since it just her daily beater. i got them from discount tires for like 140ish like a year ago. on my tl i have pirelli pzero nero tires and they seem excellent so far as with noise and handling. haven't really drove them in the rain so can't have a opinion on that.

if you don't care too much on road noise, i can recommend federals ss595, nexen n3000 they perform great as a summer tires plus last a good bit. but wont recommend them for rain.
