Prob ain't gonna happen, finding a well taken care of 3G is hard enough let alone a 2G, this site will probably be your best source if you want to learn more about your ride.

Having owned my TL for close to a year, I've only been lucky enough to spot around 3-4 modded TLs on the street, so organizing a meet will be tough seeing this part of the forum isn't very active at all. (Yes, I'm assuming most Aziners would have done a thing or two to their TLs, the mod bug on this site is just too overwhelming)

Majority of the people who own a TL just don't have the passion to mod or take care of the vehicle at all.

P.S. If you really want to schedule or attend meets, you should check out Revscene (assuming you haven't), easier to schedule meets there and I'm sure you will meet many people in Vancouver that are really passionate about their ride. They also have around 2 big meets everywhere.

Cheers

Every year we had a pre-meet so we can all roll together to the RS meet. I think we had the largest AZ turnout last year (20+ cars) compared to previous years. I hope we can do the same this year because it was great meeting existing and new members here

Oh by the way, I am selling my Volk CE28N matte black 19x8.5 22m front and 19x10.5 36m back with almost new FK452 tires front and back. Pm me if interested

What I got so far is an Aspec lip kit, Tenzo Type M wheels, 15% window tints around the back, AEM V2 CAI, smoked tailights and window visors. What im planning to do in a few weeks is getting my H&R coils installed, an UR pulley(stock dia) to replace the heavy stock one and get some HID fogs installed. Also want to get the ATLP V2 j.pipe, HFC, and base exhaust done by mid july.

I bought my TEIN Coilovers from G5 and also had them installed (Back in 2005). I had my TL lowered 2.5inch back and 2.25 front with no finger gaps. After you are satisfied with the height, then you should get an alignment done for sure!!

What color is your TL by the way?

When the rubber meets the fender, I would think you need at least 2-2.25 inches. If you like the low ride and stance, trust me you would want no finger gap..LOL!!

- Megan Street Coils (lowered at least 2.25")
- Fujita CAI
- Test Pipe
- Removed resonators
