P5 got totalled and I just purchased a 2004 TL. Man does that thing go....definately no P5 but I would definately think its an upgrade, even though I did not go the Mazda route.(drive)
TL has some of the sickest bi-xenon projectors! Jealous of that!
Havn't done anything to the car today, except purchase some Infinity Kappa components. Now I gotta figure out my amp/sub setup
Got a 2 channel 400 watt amp and 10" sub, but, i gotta figure how to power the components and sub.

, I'd consider getting one. For now, no car payment is > *My dad has the same car. It pulls so hard, I love it. Slap an AEM CAI on it and you'll be flooring it everywhere you go for the sound.

Nice upgrade....the TL is a beautiful car and I have to agree with maff, the type-S is hawt!
My tires for the new-to-me wheels came in today. Went to get them mounted then found my april fools joke from the tireshoppe.com... 1 of the beads on one of the tires was more... pointy... than round. That's definitely a 1st for me, never seen that. It looks like something got messed up during manufacturing. Anyway, I called them up and in about 2 minutes they had ordered a replacement to be drop shipped to me from Hankook's Tennessee warehouse. Yay great customer service! Anyway, here's some pics of the tire. See if you can spot what's wrong LOL
precisely
well, that's what we thought, and it totally didn't. Tried every trick in the book to get it to seat and it didn't.
Didn't really do anything to the car lastnight, but, I did play around with some projectors I pick'd up. They are halogen foglight projectors off an 06 Tiburon. Buddy got a bodykit and was gonna thrwo em away, so i grabbed em. I'll post some comparison pics to the stock fogs we have. I'm thinking I wanna put em on my car!!
All pics were taken with me just holding the projector, so, take that into account on the aiming of it
Pic 1 is the projector against the wall in the garage to see what it looks like. Looks promising
Next is the inards of the projector
Here it is against the garage door
Stock fogs on the road
Projector on the road, yeah, it's aim'd higher
ApexCone 4300K hid kit in the low beams
Same headlights with the projectors in there as well
Stock fogs with piaa plasma ion bulbs in em
Stockers with projector also on
Well, that ends my photosession. Whatcha'll think? Got potential? With a PIAA bulb inside there, as opposed to stock sylvania, they'll be hella brighter. I REALLY can't wait to get my retrofitted projectors now!!!
After showing the wife the comparison pics of how "hot spotted" our stock headlights are with HID's compared to even a halogen projector, she's contemplating letting me spend the money to do a projector retrofit in her headlights as well!

damn man those are the fogs? they are bright as hell...do you have HD bulbs in the headlights?
Yeah, headlights are HID. And, I couldn't get over how bright those halogen fogs are. Seriously!! I'm still trying to figure how to mount em on the car. They outperform our stock foglights by a brazillion times over!!
Gotta figure something out. Gotta!!

Decided on protegegarage front big brake kit and a PG mid-pipe, deals goin down!
I changed spark plugs and wires... wow, should have done that earlier... Engine idle is smoother now.
Installed rear strut brace just for kicks. Can't tell a difference but wasn't expecting one.
Installed short shifter. Took some dremel work on the cheap @$$ ebay shifter but it works now. Wasn't sure if I'd like it but I think I do. KB bushings make it stiff but I'm tempted to try the stock bushing again just to compare. I think it might feel more "smooth" and less chunky.
Here is the difference in height of the stock vz ebay SS:
