Only had 2400 miles on them but I did not like the wet traction and noise so I went with the new Continental Extreme Contact DWS in 245/50/17. So far I love them. I kept the stock wheels and these tires actually make the car and wheels look better. These tires have a 540 treadwear and are supposed to be amazing in the wet. They are quieter than stock and are in the ultra high performance category. Anyone looking should check these out. I will update in the future as to how these are performing. I was able to sell my old tires locally in one day on craigs list to a guy who knew the owner of the shop that was doing my tires. After we met and agreed on a price, he went over to the shop before the tires were even off my car and gave the owner the money so that when I went in today to get them done the owner gave me the money and was going to leave the tires outside for the buyer to pick up later in the day! What a small world and what a great transaction. Ordered the tires from tirerack tues. p.m. and got them thurs. p.m. and had them installed this morning. :thumbsup: ]]> Fourth Generation TL (2009+) Takehold66 http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753041 http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753039&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:34:10 GMT They told me my warranty will be void if I refuse a TIRE ROTATION in the A1 service.

how hard is this to instal?
i just got my cold air intake done... everything else is stock i have an 04 base tl
should i go ahead and get this put on or wait until my jpipe comes in
like i said before im getting the atlp base cb exhaust for graduation.

but yeah

also i was told by buying this whole setup my mpg will go down?

i was also told that it wouldnt be to bad if i got a high flow cat instead of the usual race pipe/ test pipe 3rd cat delete.

im going to leave the precats alone because i lose to much torque.

Spring of '07


moved to Arizona to study at ASU for a bit.. and then came back due to some stuff.... and started the modding.

First few mods.. in order.. then XS-P headers. 04-06 TL stock wheels, blacked out the headlights, Eibach Prokit springs, with some switchbacks and all that fun junk..









Few weeks later, got my OEM front and side lip kit and WingsWest rear lip that came a littler later around Father's Day of '08. also 18x8.5 +30 Volk LE37. Some visors and a little JDM flavor...





Background Story: I was desparate to fix my hood from having some major paint cracks. I attempted to rattle can my hood and it came out to be... FAIL. lol





Ditched the Volk LE37 and I revolked with 19x8.5 +46 GT-V. Changed out my INSPIRE front grill to the Saber front grill. Also redid my headlights since I didn't find any love for the fully blacked out headlight. I think I also did the foglight mod around this time.

Sometime while having these wheels, I got my exhaust. ATLP ftw. =]

Few weeks down the road.. decided to ditch the Volks and try out something new after blowing a tire on a freeway ramp. Picked up the Locksmice Mesh in 18x8 +27(I added 10mm spacer) 18x9 +35.







Blew the tire on these suckers as well.. lol
Then.... finally.... got myself some Function&Form Type-I coilovers and tires for the locksmice.. Then got myself a new hood and installed some puddle lights myself and bunch of other little small things... lol











Changed back to my Inspire grill before selling the Locksmice. Few days later, I picked up a set of SSR Agle Premiums.
19x8.5 +43 19x9.5 +38





Then while I was attempting to wheel whore.. I picked up a few part and swapped out my tiny IM/TB for the Type-S IM/TB and so forth...

BEFORE:



AFTER:



2 weeks later of having the SSR, found an awesome deal for the Racinghart C4 in 18x8.5 18x9.5












After having some few problems come up.. i decided to...

go from

This:



to this:



then.. traded a few parts and went USDM



then...

finally...

i went to

ULTRA STOCK MODE zomg...





anyways.. lol.. :thumbsup:

it was fun. :tomato: ]]> Photograph Gallery jjashaa http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753027 http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753022&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:31:39 GMT Hey guys been doing sum research and really can't make up my mind whether to go with an injen cai or aem cai?!?

Well, after months of working on a prototype we finally have a j-pipe and third cat delete and high flow cat option. However, to make sure everything fits properly we need a tester in the Phoenix, AZ area. We will need the car to be dropped off for a few days and you will receive a j-pipe and cat delete at a significantly reduced price. If we can get someone around the week of Dec 1st that would be good.

Please email me if you can volunteer at sales@excelerateperformance.com

Maybe if we get the car long enough we can look at the exhaust too!!! ]]> Excelerate http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753012 http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=753009&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:02:00 GMT Sorry for borrowing your photo, but does anyone know where I can get this emblem?

Hi All, I do switch back and forth between 17 and 16 wheels when needed, however the inner stick-on balance weight is rubbing on the brake. It has about 6 inches long of weight and I had to remove it.

Anyone had this problem and how you got around this? Or I guess I have to sand down the weight once I get it re-balanced.
