** Pics & Vids ** TL-S: I/H/E Completed... I'm done, i SWEAR!!!

[DrLove'sKuDang]

well, within 6months ive done everything to this car i told myself i wasnt going to do. but again, in my defense, i didnt pay anything near retail for any of it. just for fun, lets do a little comparo between what i paid vs. ebay prices... not even retail, but ebay!!!

tanabe catback - paid=$240 pickedup vs. ebay=$750 shipped

aem coldair - paid=$100 shipped vs. ebay=$230 shipped

tein ss coilovers - paid=$690 shipped vs. ebay=$990 shipped

xs headers - paid=$150 shipped vs. similar comptech(used/new)=$500/$1200 shipped

total paid - $1180
total savings - $1290


so with being patient, i got my entire package for over 50% off. so i guess i can justify buying all this unnecessary shit.


anyways. here are a few pics of the final addition to my famil under the hood... the type-s aem coldair intake.







and just for shits, heres another a cleaner pic of the front header i sprayed. i resprayed since the installation. gave it a few more coats and a smoother look.




the car is defiently making more power than it did a few months back. here are a couple vids to compare a deadstop launch. no ebrake, no neutral drop, none of that shit... i just took my foot of the brake and then floored it. all i gotta say. for an a/t, it sure does a nice lil burnout. not sure if it has an open diff or lsd, but it spins both tires nicely.

notice the first vid, it burns for very little, from about 3-4k. after the i/h/e, it burns from 3k to past 5000rpm. if i had the smaller stock tires on, it might burn through to 2nd. when im not so lazy i wanna swap the front tires just to try this experiment.

Going to tune it?

probaby wont be tuning it since i dont have any equipment for that... but i do want to get a baserun done. from the few graphs ive seen, the type-s makes between 220-230whp with i/h/e. it varies between cars a little, and some of the cars ive seen had tb spacers or manifold gaskets, neither of which i have.

lies!! youre not done!! . good work though and nice finds.

and i can honestly say, im done(for now). the next step would a s/c, but i wont be able to afford that for years. im happy with the car the way it is now. its definetly faster than my accord was, so im good.



and thanks for all the conpliments guys... i dont have quite the budget i did back when i was workin on my cb, so im doing what i can.

lookin good man! done my arse!!

im not sure, but i think i may have saw you the other day. not too many modded tl's so it caught my eye, the dude was talkin on the phone on wolfe or fair oaks i dunno..

[DrLove'sKuDang]

ok ok, well... im done for now. i wouldnt mind having a supercharger, but i dont have that kind of money.

but im definetly done until the car is paid off.


and shue... it could have been me, i didnt know you were a local guy. like you said, i too, rarely see a modded tl.

[Dv8]

maybe opt for some sort of tuner while waiting for a stuper charger =]
