nice, but you should kill those blue corner light bulbs and get some chromed out yellow bulbs.

VTAK!!! Na really, pretty nice thou. Jus get some nice lightweight wheels.

FWD kinda hurts, but I love the 3.2 Type S. They have a nice long shape to them and the type-s kit flows really well. They're just very common around here is all.

Congrats man, plus one on adding the Solaris bulbs instead of auto zone beams.

its a nice comfy ride plus it hauls when i need it to. I keep up with mildly modded e36 m3s not off the line tho. yea the FWD defi hurts it but look in the background of the last pic. 2 RWD cars FTL in the winter time lol even tho my e36 is my winter beater.

i hope your not talkin about my low beams cause those are 4300K HIDs lol and my fogs are 3000K Nokyas

Nice...I was wondering when I would see pictures of this car. I really wanted to race your bimmer :devillook

We should meet again...this time, less rain, and more cars.


Edit - I forgot to mention that I am tmat's brother, that should help clear things up :)

Looks hot!

FOOL, don't you realize your 318 is vastly superior in all areas, especially speed...



j/k, lookin good, love that first shot. any plans for it over the winter?

just in case u forgot, this is chase. last time i saw u at the ccsu car show w/my buddy matt(srt-4)

No I was talkin about the corner lights :cool

nice car man, but it NEEDS some 19s with PHAT lips on em.

those look like lux m3 skirts

Damn that thing is clean. Just get some nice wheels and you'll be done.

All it needs is new wheels, rwd, and a roundel.

thanks for the compliments guys. i know i need new rims prolly light weight 18s SSR or Volks in the summer time. ill do headers and throttle body spacers which will put me at around 230whp with that and the current mods. then i gotta decide if i wanna keep my car and put a S/C + N2O or upgrade to the 07 TL Type S and start all over again.

1. Get a the 6speed from a Legend, or better yet a 03 CL-S, those have a LSD.
2. Register to v6performance.net if you havent already, i used to be on there, but got banned over some BS, but its still an awesome forum, or used ot be.
3. Get a Greddy EVO catback. you'll love it.
4. Dont NOS it while its a slushbox. You'll regret it. A S/C is already working that thing. NOS will blow it.

+1, but I cannot say much myself.

Nice Honda ;)

They are nice cars, everytime my friend would drive down to visit he'd make me drive it to go to dinner. Good power and very comfortable, still not a bimmer though.

Good luck with it! :)

Manual or auto?

Looks hot either way.

TLs never came in manual.

Quite a bummer, it would be that much hotter if it was stick shift.

yeah the later cl type-s came with 6spd i believe.

the 03 CL-S had a stickshift option, i belive it was the only year it was offered. The gearbox will fit right into a 98-02 V6 accords and these TL's it also has a LSD and is the same gearbox that used to be offered in the Legend back in the day, except beck then it was a open diff.

A CL-S tranny swap would be ideal but since its still under warranty ill jus have to wait. its defi in my plans tho...i just had my headers put in and its defi good power gain
