That's a lot of meat Good thing you're more about looks than 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. Can't wait to see how it all looks.

Hopefully soon I have been preoccupied so I havent got the tires yet. Converting an SC from stock twin to single turbo. Took us 6 hours to pull the stock twins out of a 2jz in the car...

i remember going to a G/Z meet in grapevine.. and a few scions showed up... one had a stupidly mosterous turbo and everything else stock... i was like wow not even suspension or brake mods first>???

g/l with the GTE...

NAiL05

haha yea. Thanks. I will have fun other than the 50 cuts on my knuckles all over my hands. I swear those twins are not friendly to your hands...and also they used a steel wire to trick the valve so its full twin no sequential cut my hand open on that a few times not a fun thing to do.

All,

Mac Churchill is matching Delray (acuraoemparts.com) for on line prices.

You pay tax, but no shipping because you can pick it up at the dealership.

Spoke with Tony. It is a local version of acuraoemparts.com.

I work about 4 blocks from the dealership so I can pick up parts if needed.

Peter

disgruntlednut

Tony is definitely the go-to guy. Need to pay him a visit one of these days...

NAiL05

Thats cool good to know someone here locally for parts...Still waiting on my tires...Ordered them a couple days ago should be here soon. Ordered me some cheapo talons tr864 or something but they work lol for now.

horsepowercrzy18

lol the talon tr968? there pretty decent. very good tire in the rain!

NAiL05

yea 968...lol its made in china so far i have seen they are decent. That all I need for now anyway. Plus only cost me like 300 bucks shipped new if they ever come.

Rick_TL-S

NAiL, know anyone who can grab tires for cheap? Need to move up to a new set if I want to look into getting a set of VMRs.

NAiL05

I bought my set off of tireseasy.com. Usually they have some good deals on there. I bought the Triangle TR968 as I mentioned they arent bad and I doubt I will be doing over 150mph. I am waiting for my set to come in they wont come in until next Monday...I just had to order it during holiday season damn it. I just need to find a place to mount it. 245/45/17.

There is also another one of those cupcake meet things tomorrow at the dreamcars studio or something off of walnut hill and 35.

Rick_TL-S

Kudos! Found some S.Drives for $136 a wheel.

Now I just gotta raise $1,300.

NAiL05

lol no problem man.

Rick_TL-S

1 more thing Nail. How much difference would a 37 or 32 offset look from my factory 45?

I've discovered VMRs do not fit, so I'm just going to resort to some 5zigen ZRs in 17s or 18s.

NAiL05

They will look a little more aggressive. The more toward the negative you go aka the lesser the number the more aggressive it will be and the more flush it will look toward your fender.

Rick_TL-S

Might go with a 32mm then. They have a 20mm available, but I'd have to see that first.

NAiL05

20mm is not bad. 32 should clear just fine. It mostly depends on spoke design on some tires but around 35 and more should be able to clear the bbk just fine. The RPF1 i have right now are 18 lol pretty aggressive. Just keep in mind you might need to roll the rear fender which is pretty easy to do. I did mine a few weeks ago lol.

Rick_TL-S

Spoke design shouldn't be a problem.


Just can't decide right now to have 18s or 17s. Don't want them to look too small.

disgruntlednut

Hey guys I'm looking for some help wiring in a JVC double din. I've bought the PAC-OEM2 and SWI-JACK to bypass the bose amp and wire in the steering wheel controls, just having a hard time figuring it out.... Everything can be done out of the car, just need someone with some know-how...

NAiL05

Rick TL-S - I think an 18 inch setup would look good with your car

disgruntled - I can prob ask my friend maybe if he knows how to install that. Does it come with instructions and what wires required if anything I can take a look at the diagram if they have it. You can scan it and email it to me if you can.

disgruntlednut

Yeah, I've got the schematics for how to set it up, just don't know how to wire in the steering wheel controls and the pac oem-2...

NAiL05

Interesting. Does it require you to tap into the wires? I thought those units were plug and play where you just reconnect the modules or do you have to splice in to them?

Also met two more TL members at the Wed night meet spot. As I recall there names were andy and swampy. Both Black TL autos. Good stuff.
