Boooo, selling the turbo kit. It's didn't fit.

The subframes from both cars are too different for me to do anything with the piping.

I feel like such a noob with this TL. I picked up the CL when it was still relatively new and followed the board pretty well and kept up with mods, but I've never used the search so much in my life as I am now with the TL. I don't know anything about it. I don't know what intake to get, what springs to get, what sways to get... I don't like being a noob

lets see how far off i am...

AEM CAI (with industrial strength insulation that makes it look like a marshmellow)
Magnaflow exhaust with custom pipe (no resonator or 3rd muffler)
CT RSB
CT SS
tints and Rockblocker tinted tails and clear headlight film
cleared headlight???
painted grill
07TL switchblade key
painted rear calipers
H&R springs with Koni Yellows...
19" Ray's G-Games (which required some rolled rear fenders to fit the drop)

and that's all i got... me reckons ethan is saving up for his Lotus...

CAI = AEM or Fujita (i have Fujita on my dad's TL. doesn't have the IAT relo like the AEM so you won't get that extra 1hp)... if you want to complete the intake system look into the P2R spacer, it helps with the heat soak...

RSB = Progress as i think CT has kicked the bucket...

Springs = comptech, aspec, h&r... im trying to find an ASPEC suspension that someone has swapped out... subtle drop for crappy NJ roads...

Nice place for dinner?

Hey guys I need a little help. Next Saturday I wanna take my gf out for a nice, kinda romantic dinner, but don't want to spend tons of $$$. My limit is prolly $100 max, but of course the cheaper the better, but I haven't taken her out any nice place yet so maybe I should spend $100 lol. Any recommendations? I don't really know of too many places other than your typical Olive Garden, Carabbas, etc... or would something like that even work?

Thnx!

Since I don;t know where in DFW you live, you may want to check out some on line guides
http://dfw.diningguide.com/
This has a search by area, price and cuisine
http://www.guidelive.com/portal/page..._schema=PORTAL

For Tarrant you can hit
Joe T Garcia's for Mexican in an oudoor setting (if it warms up a bit)
Edelweiss-is a quirky German place.
Piranaha-great sushi place
Saint-Emilion-excellent food and you can probably get out for under 100
Sorry forgot the steak houses
You can probably get out of half of them for under 100 if you skip the wine list
Silver Fox, Bob's Steak and Chop

^ Thanks for the info, I will look into those places. I live in North Arlington but don't mind driving to Dallas or Ft Worth or maybe even Addison if it is gonna be worth it.

Just fyi, no sushi lol. I guess I should say I wanna narrow it down to either seafood, steak, or Italian, if that helps.

Craptacular day

So I ended up rear ending a Tundra yesterday.

Looks like a new hood, drivers 1/4 panel, grill and front clip.

Will post pics when I get home, but I am without the ride for 2-3 weeks and am in an Impala (what a POS).

Thanks for allowing the venting.

I just got my car back Friday after 2 weeks. I got t-boned on the way to work a few weeks back. My car is cursed

I am down for a D & B meet or Bone Daddys or whatever. No one ever shows up though. We need to pick a date at least a week out and get a head count if you want to have a meet with more than 2 people at it.

Ah yea I remember a few months ago when I got my car back from the shop after a week even though it was just a little damage... soooo much better than the pos rental.


Yea a week in advance is def a good idea. I'm down for wherever; never been to Bone Daddys but hear there is lots of eye candy there .
