| I remember 5 yrs ago(when i was student), i was on S2KI.com about 5 hrs a day. |
hit it right on the nail, when i graduated HS in 2004, i bought the 2004 TL w/A-spec, now that I'm done and working, it's not so much about modding, even tho the TL is SUPPOSED to be a mid lux sedan, the amount of mods is quite amazing.
anyway, i needed to grow up, most o the mods i did to my car are cool and i love them, but when I'm pulling into work or next to my neighbor who's getting out of his S8, i always felt so much more immature when i got out of my TL
now i just feel more...bland (not the right word to use), but the idea is, i'm not turning heads with a negative vibe,
also, it seems that this car is so electronic heavy, that alot of the basic mods may not apply
if i read correctly,
- adding the intake doesn't necessarily promote gain or noticeable gain in HP
- doesnt look like there's a lightweight pulley
- there are too many sensors on the exhaust that we can't really go catless unless we defouled all the sensors....and doesn't look like there are any other there anyway (other than straight pipe on resonator)
- above reason is the same reason we don't have a down pipe
- the ECU might be able to be chipped but with RWD and AWD variants, it's hard to please both crowds of such a small niche. ~ the R&D would be off the wazoo and then it would cost to much for any enthusiast to really want to spend money on
ur real option is probably a small shot of NOS, and maybe rebuilding the internals with stronger quality materials - but again this exits the enthusiast term and is in the car fanatic realm
