Dennis, big time, man...it's very affordable!
Okay, got out before full sun for some local shots. Think I found my new local spot amidst the cypress trees.
Meeks...I'm not sure if it's placebo, or the noise, or both...but it feels like it accelerates a lot more quickly now. In addition, the vtec engagement point seems slightly less obvious because it seems to be kicking pretty good down low now too.
Betty was like, this thing is loud! And after 2 hours driving down and back to Miami yesterday...I see her point, but I honestly just love it too much. Plus, fuck it...because as Justin put it "racecar". I have the TL if I want "quiet"...
with my 2 12's and full dual exhaust. Damn...I really am 17 at heart...

Thank you! 
Okay, so, woke up early, took some new shots previously posted, washed and waxed the TL, then adjusted the S2000 exhaust and rolled the rear fenders in preparation for the coilovers. There isn't much material on the fronts of the S, so I didn't touch that just yet...I also didn't mess with moving the rear bumper support and trimming it. I figured I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Thank you so much, Tyler!
I don't have the coils in my possession yet, but once I do, probably in the next week or two. Just making sure I have space...and adjusting spacers...and no rubbing...and clearing speed bumps etc...
I get stressed...but then remind myself that the work I put in is part of the process!

Last shot is my fav from the first set on the page.
And I give the most credits to the spacers
Changed the whole car
Tint the windows? Might look nice
Yeah yeah... you should keep these exhaust tips
You said, you have a silver car, now time for black one. I am trying to aim for something black. Shit that sounded weird
Abort abort, talking about a car

Thanks Steven!
Yes sir, for a couple of bucks, I enjoy picking out my own style license plate for the cars...the regular one is just so...REGULAR.
This video makes me want to track the S...wow.

Hey man, hey! Your exhaust sounds and looks like crap bro. Should've got an AP1 and threw on a straight pipe, all the kewl kids are doing it! 9k all day! If it ain't loud and raspy, b!tches won't wanna do the nasty!

And in your defense, I'm an easy guy to love and equally hate. True story.
Seriously, my almost father in law tells me when he came to the house and saw the car..."oh, when I worked at Honda...do you know who bought these cars?"...I'm like...please, enlighten me..."F*gs" (picture a not PC Big Cuban dude). I'm like, cool...so I'm doing something right then because they have great taste!
^^^I rest my case!
Thank you sir.
Steven, add that entry as #1787 reason for Steven Bell to move to Florida. It'll be right after 1786: Golf weather 11.89 months out of the year.
:imwithstupid:
Top's down, Adam...still looking out for you and your arm sleeve and cut off jean shorts, bruh

Hey, I'll be 35 in a month, you have a verry small window of opportunity.
Oh, and
Coilovers arrived, appear not to be blown, and are now cleaned up. I've preemptively bought some Teflon non stick dry film lubricant for all the threads that'll be in the body of the lower shock that like to stick...and also had to order a set of new spanner wrenches directly from buddy club. Seller had already warned me that the small one was missing but I was hoping I'd be able to use a strap wrench or tein spanner, but to no avail. And the smaller lower ring is the one I'd be messing with most often for height. I plan to set the preload and leave it alone. Not bad considering I got them for almost 1/2 price. again.
