the lip looks nice and aggressive. i wonder how the fitment is on that and the strength. for $100 bucks i bet it would crack easily if it bottoms out haha.

that Alberta Azine meet should be finalized..

Raj, that doesn't look bad at all, the problem you will encounter is the fitment.

Hello sun! I just went outside for a quick drive.

Thanks for voting Raj and HeatbagTL. I really appreciate it.

That's a sharp looking 2G Ryan. What was your LSP?

Damn looks like there was a really good turnout for the meet. Too bad it looked so cloudy outside. So when is an acurazine meet going to happen?

Yeah it was cold and unpleasant out. I wish I had known about this thread earlier because then I would've actually be excited for this meet and would've definitely showed up for the early party and cruise. No 2G TL love other than mine.

Vin I used Optimum Opti-Seal (2 coats) then topped with p21s Concours Wax for that extra rich shine. Seriously if I had the chance to wash my car and do a quick detail spray before the meet my car would've looked brilliant.

Darkness I'm really looking forward to seeing you KBP TL-S in person. I bet it's real nice. I'd like to feel a quick spin in it, see how it feels compared to mine.

Likewise dude! Hopefully by the zine meet ill be walking again and have an intake on there for some roar. Coming to terms with myself that the 240sx wont be running this year so Ill add some nice parts to the TL. Kevin Stakniak shot your car recently right? Saw the full set on fb couple weeks ago.

Myron, when you pulled that resonator out of the intake, was there a significant difference in sound? All I can find is cold air intakes, and I want a short ram, not going to pay extra for pipe that im not going to use! Found one injen shortram kit, but its for you damn 3.2 guys :P

Hahahaha yeah that accord was so sick dude, I was mad jealous. He was best of show in my opinion.

How about that douche that took my spot, I played it off there, but boy I was not happy. Who the hell wants a POS civic hatch in between a couple of beauty TLs. I didn't want to look like an ass but I wanted to say something. He at least seemed nice enough to offer to move. Oh well.

Darkness: Yeah Kev shot my car, he's been my buddy since high school. There's way more than those 3 shots so I'm hoping I'll see the rest soon. He's just busy with a lot of things. The full set of three that are up are in my garage album along with my own.
Also, don't waste your money with a short ram intake man. You need to pull in colder, denser air outside of the engine bay. A short ram is worse than the stock intake with resonator removed. Before I got my Icebox intake I had a non resonated intake and it roared, no res makes a big difference in sound.

I'd say go CAI or just leave it stock with a K&N filter/no resonator Also! Sanjay I've read your blog before and just realized it. Your 240 is a beaut, I've seen pics before. Too bad it won't be running this season.

I already have the 9th booked off my bro's birthday so I could probably make it out to that meet haha.

3.2 intake and 3.5 is exactly the same. And yea there is quiet bit of a sound difference. Only at wot tho, so otherwise you don even know it's there. I wanted to make my own intake, you'd get same results as from any other bouth one, and it's a lot cheaper.

Only reason why I want a short ram, is because I winter drive my TL. Having a cold air in winter is a big no no as everyone knows, and its a pain to change out to stock box every fall. Iunno, we will see I guess, and thanks about the 240! Its come a long way, only to be broken yet again haha.

I was reading up last night, the 3.2's have a map sensor built into the throttle body where as the 3.5\s have the map sensor built into the intake pipe. Lame. Im wot wherever i go

Thanks Ricky! I need to hear it more from the outside but I have before and oh man I love it too. Much better for others to enjoy than for me inside the car.
I need to get some video of my car this season.

Here's the link to all of the pictures Kevin S. took for me, he put up the rest today. ENJOY!

Meg's Blue Beaut all shined up!

...i think there is a possibility for the vtech to stop working but it has to be all internal and dont think the car would run! However it could be controlled by the ECM because it is just a hydraulic piston which moves/slides on the cam-shaft over riding the rocker arm and keeps the intake/exhaust valves open longer after a certain rmp! 3rd gen TL is 4500 i think.
