Ricky when are you gonna do the roof? I wanna do it soon, but I am not sure if I can get my buddy to help me yet or not and when he's free to do it.

 

welcome back to edmonton, my oil life percentage didn't change at all. lol. I set my cruise at 130 kph and saw a cop hiding behind a pillar that supports a flyover. I guess he is looking out for speeding vehicles but he didn't chase me at all. just pure luck? and oh, i got 7L/100km. lol

my steering wheel lights are burnt as well.

 

i wasnt home when it came in so i am guessing they delivered mail today. i just made the payment today so i am guessing tomorrow and should be here sometime next week.

 

when you free? ya i can help you out no problem but i am not 100% sure on how to do it around sun-roof area and the side strips. (thats if you wanna tuck it under).

 

I wanna take off the side strips off before I do it so I can tuck it under. And then do it with a open sunroof

 

^^ i am free friday and sunday evening and all day saturday unless something comes up. let me know what the plan is. did you look into how to remove the side strips?

 

Yea there is a member on here that has done it and he has a write up. I don't think I can do it this next weekend but maybe the weekend after that. It would be a good idea to clay bar the roof first before doing this.

 

Lol damn Arthur how'd you manage to do 7L/100km? When I came back from Calgary in the summer I was at 11/100km. It's not like I was driving like a maniac either. I set cruise control most of the time but occasionally got bored

Hmm I asked this guy about his process and he said to do it with the moonroof closed.

I was questionable but he says cutting it with a razor on the glass is safe as long as you don't puncture it too deep. Let me know when you guys plan on doing it. I'd gladly help if I'm free. I bought my heat gun for only one reason.. vinyl wrap.

 

I think I was getting 8L/100km a few years ago when I went to Kelowna. 7 is pretty impressive though

Yea I had seen a DIY video of this and the guys did it with an open sunroof. I think. Either way I am gonna give it a try so what happens happens haha

I got a heat gun too, just for vinyl too haha

 

I have no idea, I managed to do 7L/100KM the whole trip. That includes 10% city driving, and I was sitting in traffic for about 10-15 minutes on my way home. I also managed to take a picture. lol

 

Im still rocking my winter tires, then again, mine are shit tires. You're not going to eat up your tires significantly in this weather. Wednesday is fine. Yeah new bumper eventually, both my fog's got rock chips in them.

Its def a work in progress, but thank you!

Yup, Branden is one of my best friends! Its nice to have the luxury of riding around in an absurdly loud GT-R

you guy's should join my edm based forum and post up your rides there too!!

alright sounds good. let me know what the plan is. i gotta get my car detailed as well. a lot or minor scratches and shit.

 

I'm done finals

 

If you wanna do your vinyl this weekend we can do it. I am still thinking if I wanna do mine or not. I was busy this weekend with the GF but she just won some contest and got a trip to Vancouver for 2 days and to see Tiesto this weekend. I got curfew and can't leave alberta, so I cant go to that fuck

 

Oh damn I'd love to get to Vancouver. I never win cool stuff like that lol. Although I am going to Tiesto. I definitely won't be driving my car to shaw.

 

saw the RJ TL again.. I thought it was Myron but then I saw the RJ bumper.

 

yea they called her today and told her to bring a friend and shit. 500$ shopping card and a video camera of some sort. Yea I wish I can go to that show too. Fuck I think they are taking off my curfew in may so I might go to some shows, but it's summer time so there is barely gonna be any shows here.

 

that RJ bumper seems unfinished.

 

Leave a note on the TL next time and tell them to join acurazine lol. Does it have a RJ rear as well or just the front? I'm not really a fan of that a-spec spoiler or the moonroof visors. Wheels look nice though.

Nvm I googled rj kit and it looks like it only has the front. Strange how the owner didn't do the full kit

 

Myron, that's what I was thinking too, he used chicken wire for the lower grill

Vincent, I don't have anything to write on that time. lol. And +1 on the spoiler and visor. Next time!

 

chicken wire? wow

 

yea, unfortunately. wheels look good though!

 

I'm finally done my led conversion. I delayed the glove box and center console for over half a year. I somewhat broke the glove box plastic piece off so I had to be ghetto and use some super glue. Luckily nobody can see it since it's all tucked away lol.

 

I havent done the lights when you open the mirror cover, I don' tknow how to take those off.

 

I want to do that too, do you still remember how much did it cost you to change them all?

 

I don't remember, I have done it a while ago.

 

@Myron: Yeah it was such a pain in the ass for the vanity lights. The DIY's all tell you to just shove a screwdriver in there and twist. So I did, and nothing really happened so I turned and it popped out. However, in the process I managed to break a piece of plastic off and now it doesn't go back into the hole properly. I used tape to hold it up since I don't really care to spend $20 on replacing it. I don't use those things anyway. I changed them just so I knew all lights were changed.

@Arthur: In total, I think everything cost me $100. I got most of the LEDS from e-bay. They are a fraction of the cost compared to the suppliers here in North America and work just as well. The only lights I didn't get off e-bay were my cree reverse lights. I have 15 leds per light for the map, rear, and trunk. Doors and vanity have 9 leds or so, and the glovebox and center console are singles.

I'm waiting for the 6k drl kit and 6k switchbacks to arrive from v-leds now Those set me back quite a bit but I like white light lol.

 

holly shit man 15leds per each? I got just small ones in there. And those are bright. Too bright for me even. I try to not have them on most of the time

 

Haha yeah I don't know what I was thinking. At first I was considering 30 leds but was worried about fitment issues. For the first few months they were blindingly painful to have at night. Whenever I opened the door I was like WTF SPACESHIP! But I guess my eyes are now more used to the insane light. It's hard to lose something in my car at night haha.

 

I forget which ones I got but nothing even close to 15 leds and they are still bright. One of them in the back acts weird. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

 

Sounds like it's time to replace.. and go 30 leds per light lol.

Just pop the plastic cover off and see if it has gotten loose. Mine had a seperate wire to connect to the socket so it's not as snug fitting as OEM but looks better than the dim yellow.

 

i want to get my car power polished/detailed before doing the roof so if i do remove the vinyl in the near future everything will be smooth ...but i gotta save money now so i am thinking by end of may......

 

k i need an aspec lip like now im getting impatient any ideas, is that group by still going on , acktl05 qouted me a great price, but now i cant get ahold of him and im dying lol hahah i need a front and rear so bad lol ahah, ps theres a guy selling a wdp one on kijiji but he wants like 1400 GET fucked, i would say 8 is fair lol
and here are some updated pics

 

^ looking good!
Also is there a chance that you live up in the northwest area of edmonton cause i was in the city on monday and i swear i drove by your car with the exact rims..

 

Most likely my the pictures don't fool the wheels justice now for lip kit and lowering springs haha

 

haha, yeah my your car gunna look sick with the aspec and springs i can't wait to see it! do you have those stuff ordered?

 

hey bro...ya that group busy is on until tomorrow. pm acktl and give him ur paypal info, style of kit, color, year of TL (make sure you let him know u only want the front and rear). its 755 for the whole kit shipped to your house and i think 580 for front and rear but dont quote me on that. btw nice looking TL... do the headlights your self?

 

hey ricky can u say how much is ur kit shipped?

 

Hey man would you do another set of headlights? Mine haha I would help you out, I did a set before on a VW golf but I am scared to do it myself on the TL. I need someone who has done it before on this car. I just want them blacked out, no LEDs. I do wanna replace the projector lenses with ZKW-r and I already have those.

 

saw a black 3G today, lowered, a-spec kit and wheels..
