Supposed to be nice this weekend. Maybe someone will have one last car meet of the season or something, lol.

hey guys quick question does anyone know what the cost might be replacing the timing belt and water pump?

Takata 18

Parts Myalon you a total of $300.00. The dealer might cost you 1000+. It is not cheap which really sucks

mattcl-s

I got a quote of 1200$ for timing belt kit, water pump, coolant flush and from another place I got a quote for 900$ for the timing belt kit, water pump, flush, and serpentine belt also. I heard a strange whining sound the other day and noticed a slight miss fire drive on the freeway and another rough kind of sound where the drive belt are at

Takata 18

If you are at the specified mileage to change the timing belt I would do it as soon as possible. It will cost you more if you don't get it done $900 sounds about the going rate

Atlas_Gen

That reminds me, I need to get my timing belt, water pump, etc changed too. I'm at 105,401ish miles. Would you guys recommend to get it done at a dealership/shop or just do it yourself?

If you feel comfortable doing it yourself, go for it. There is a decent DIY in the garage section of the forum. I didn't think it was to hard just lots of small spaces and torquing the crank to 190 lbs lol.

I'm storing her for the winter this year probably going to get it done in the spring

Takata 18

Hey Nate I'm still looking for it I call Joe but his phone is not working anymore so I don't know if I borrowed it to him or not I'll let you know though

Happy Autumn guys, While for most of you, car season is over but for me it's never ending, offroading, plowing leaves to a cabin in the boonies. Looking forward to plowing snow soon too

Takata 18

No car seasons never over you just give another car little more use and the other one less use. BTW that's a cool photo. Glad to see that our thread is not going dormant

chokin

Same here. My Acura M is ready to plow some snow this year.

Atlas_Gen

Sick picture bro! I'm ready for my first Winter in my TL too. I'll be able to see the difference between my Civic that I had and my TL.

By the way, do any of you guys snowboard? If so, we should go this Winter.

walleyeman

I just started boarding last year so still super noob. I have a few friends that are pro but I try not to go with them because they're too good, lol.

Atlas_Gen

Haha, it's all good. I started a few years ago, I didn't get any chance to go last Winter because I was busy but this year I'm definitely hitting the slopes. Where do you usually go?

luckyjakob

I snowboard, I'd definitely be down to hit up the slopes this year

luckyjakob

Oh, and I'm finally back in town... So I should have some time to work on the video footage from our cruise.. that may or may not have been a month ago

Takata 18

That is nice that you're back yet get going with the video. We have waited long enough

I've never tried snowboarding. In the winter I just play hockey, snowshoe, and snowmobile.

Finally got the car ready for winter. Clay and sealed the paint, winter tires go on this Saturday.

theprodigalson

Im just wondering because I now have 2 tl's a 1st gen and 2nd gen, trying to get hooked up with other tl owners

Atlas_Gen

Cool, we should get some people to go this Winter.

walleyeman

Lol, this current group was pretty much a TL group but most of them have sold their TLs and bought different cars.

walleyeman

Man, I'm not ready for snow yet, LOL. Just happens it's gonna storm when I'm in Florida right now. Haven't raised the car up or mounted my new snow tires yet.....It's going to suck when I get back

Atlas_Gen

The snow came this morning and it's here to stay lol and it's supposed to snow some more over night too. I put my winter tires on a week ago so I was ready for it. When do you get back from FL?

The NSX is of course all tucked away in the warm garage! However, the MDX is LOVING the snow!!

Takata 18

Well the TL is tucked away for the winter and I also miss the snow because I'm in Grand Cayman in the Caribbean so guys enjoy the first snow:thumb-sup

chokin

My car loved the snow, so it decided to give up it's front lip during the first snow.

How's everyone doing?

youie99

They gave me a portable charging unit when I went and got my Oil change. Restrictions apply- No M3-TL or Chevy-TL, Accord-TL.

Winter has been pretty good to me so far. I'm loving my first set of winter tires, don't know how I managed without them for so long.

Hope we get to see our videos from our cruise SOON!!

Youseff (sorry, don't know how to spell it) didn't you take any videos you could post as well?

Takata 18

Well sucks to come back. Leaving Gran Cayman leaving 84 degrees burr!!!!!!

youie99

Nate, Yeah I did but, I am not sure how to transfer it from my phone. Travis, if you know or anyone knows how to please let me know. I tried using iCloud and was unsuccessful

Takata 18

How is everybody doing with this beautiful cool weather? Has anyone talk to Joe?

NSXTC

iTrader: (1)

Loving every minute of it! Ask me again though come March and I might have a different answer for you!!

I don't think we'll see another siting of Joe until next Fall!

walleyeman

I'm tired of this weather already, ready to move south.

Takata 18

Yes I think that's in my plans too. I am going to start looking AZ. or FLA. No more Snow tires either. I saw in Grand Cayman the people give names to their homes the one that caught my eyes said NO SNOW
