the thing about tires is that I am broke and really should sell these but I can't resist so I think I am gonna leave the tires that are on now and drive like that for a few months. If they get destroyed I will get new ones but if not, then all good hahaha

myron

I got them for real cheap. I can't say really how much but... cheap. They were buddies that just got a house and needs money.

riicky

welcome ichinese! and man u guys are just rapping the thread today!! those are sexxiee wheels myron!!! btw myron see u tomorrow buddy!

edmua6

Yea, you don't have to get expensive tires. As long as they are drivable.

iChinese

Oh okay haha, that cool.

Where's a good place in Edmonton that can fixed paint scratches. i got hit in the parking lot a couple months ago right on my driver side door and still haven't gotten time to fix it. and the vendors on the site when they sell bumpers is it painted or not? cause this winter i slid and hit a snow bank hard... now my bumper is crack and i also want to replace it lol. if you guys can help me answer these question it would be appreciated!

riicky - nice to meet you! (:

edmua6

^ OEM bumpers never come painted. I don't have any experience with fixing paint scratches. Is the scratch pretty deep or it can be buffed out?

iChinese

Oh okay, if i do get the bumper where's a good shop to get it painted? and the scratch i'll try to take a picture tomorrow and posted on here and you guys can examine it.

tsxsingh

LOL that was you! i was wondering who was waving at me.. hahaha, now i know... sexxxxy car!

tsxsingh

hahaha thats funny.. my buddy who was with me even said "yo raj some guy is waving at you.. i was like who, hes like the guy infront of us, in the tl.. do you know him.. im like nope.. maybe he just wants to show some acura love... hahaha and then the awkward silence and weird look.. :p

we just love cars that much i guess

tsxsingh

sorry for doing multiple msgs lol, i replied as i read thru.. u guys went nuts on replys past 2 days lol.. if anyone needs exhaust work or headers installed, my buddy owns ABC muffler shop just off 50street and passed sherwood park fwy... lemi know if u guys need some work done i'll let him know ur coming, and he'll give u a good deal.. he deals with Magnaflo and can custom make whatever u want done!

wphan

haha ABC is awesome. i had my cat converter replaced there last month.

myron

iTrader: (4)

I think I was contacting ABC mufflers about creating a custom exhaust for my TL and it was something like 600$ for a full cat back which is pretty cheap. I hear good things about it from 780 members too

v|nsan|ty

Haha thanks Raj. Your car would be complete if you drop it. Is it just me or does the TSX look like it rides higher than a TL?

Myron I'll trade you ALL my detailing supplies for those wheels lololol.

I got my Cree LED reverse lights in the mail last night. I can't wait to install those. They're supposed to give some decent light output in comparison to HID reverse lights. Myron do you remember where you got the CCFL bulbs for the license plate? I figure I might as well get those since they're brighter and last longer, opposed to my leds I have.

Tony for scratches, someone mentioned Mr. Dent (780 993 3687) at #67, 4003 -98 Street on 780tuners. I don't know how good they are but it might be worth looking into. I might go there to get a quote on the damage I have on my rear bumper and quarter panel.

[quote=v|nsan|ty;12856353]Haha thanks Raj. Your car would be complete if you drop it. Is it just me or does the TSX look like it rides higher than a TL?

yeah i know, im in the talks with a member on the tsx forum, $140 for new springs shipped.. gotta wait till friday and she gonna ship em out.. its coming from the states soo im sure ima get raped on the stupid duty taxes at the door... 1.6" drop all around.

v|nsan|ty

Maybe see if the seller can ship via USPS. Duty usually is non-existent when you go with that carrier. They are far more Canadian friendly than other companies like UPS or Purolator.

iChinese

v|nsan|ty yeah i might try go to an autostore and try to buy a bottle of those scratch removal first, if it doesn't work i'm gunna take it to a shop. Here's a picture of the scratch.

v|nsan|ty

When you run your finger over the scratches, does it catch your nail?

If you're willing to wait until you're back in Edmonton, I can probably help you remove those scratches. I have an arsenal of detailing supplies. Buying a random scratch removal product may end up doing more harm than good.

Where are you living right now?

iChinese

not really, those scratches are really light. and im in no hurry so yeah I can wait till i moved back to Edmonton. I live a town called Stettler, its 2 hours away from Edmonton

myron

iTrader: (4)

Haha I would have no use for it as I don't know anything about detailing. And I ordered my CCFL from ebay I think. Be careful wiring it, I just used electrical tape to connect the wires and they came apart so I had to re do it.






on the side note, me, ricky and arthur installed Arthur's lipkit today and WOW, his car is looking amazing with the kit, lowered and the wheels, just came together so nicely. Hopefully he installs that exhaust today too so the car is complete.

edmua6

just finished the exhaust. i will post up pictures soon.

edmua6

Huge shout out to Myron and Ricky, without them my TL wouldn't look this good. They pretty much did it for me, thank you so much guys!

myron

iTrader: (4)

oh man that exhaust looks so good on that car. I am glad I could help, it was fun, and not that hard. Glad that Ricky joined in so we could meet and it's always nice to have a helping hand.

edmua6

Yea, I love it so far, it might be too loud for the others but I love it. I had tons of fun today, and learned a lot of things. Now, I want to meet the rest of acuraziners

v|nsan|ty

Oh that is one sexy WDP. Good job! So with three guys, how long did it take to install the a-spec kit? Any troubles cutting up the rear bumper with the dremel? Did you get the exhaust installed at a shop?

Lol maybe I'll spot you in the southside one of these days. I go to Riverbend Square every now and then with the gf or fill up gas at Shell.

iChinese

Very nice! Where did you buy the aspec kit??

myron

iTrader: (4)

it took us 5.5 hours because there was a lot of cutting and fitting on the back bumper and figuring out how to take the sides off too but now it would take me half the time.

edmua6

Myron and I did the front lip for about an hour, then Ricky showed up when we were trying to figure out how to do the sides. We didn't know how to take them off the sides so it took us probably an hour too. We did the rear skirt for at least three hours I believe, it was a little bit tricky because we had to measure the part that needed to be cut a couple of times just to be sure. The dremel kit did it job properly, Myron did the cutting and his face was covered of plastic debris. lol. My brother and I did the exhaust, it took us about two hours, we had trouble jacking up the car high enough to be able to work underneath.

Lol I'll probably see you right away knowing that you have a blue tl-s, I think they are pretty rare in edm.

Thanks! I got it from a vendor here, 830$ shipped (duties and brokerage are already included) Ricky told me there is a group buy going on right now and they are 750$. They are pretty cheap compared to the stealership price. Oh, they come painted too!

iChinese

^ ohh nice. i would buy it but i don't have to money right lol.

Have any of you guys installed an intake yet? if so was it hard to do? i know there a DIY for it but i'm scared that i might screw up soemthing

riicky

@edmua6...arthur that car looks sick!! it was good times doing the kit! i also learned a lot!! but keep her clean now! i wanna hear your car now...maybe u can do a fly-by :P...
@ichinese...yes i did the intake. u looking at buying the short ram or the proper kit where the filter sets in front of the left steer tire. i can give you hand with it. it was a little little difficult removing all the OEM parts but it was worth it the time at the endl!!

edmua6

^ I'll try to clean her tomorrow after I change the spacers. I made a video but then I deleted it right away because the quality is just crap. lol. Yea, I can show you probably next weekend.

v|nsan|ty

Yeah I've seen only a couple KBP TL-S's in the city. Definitely more NBP and WDP TL-S's around town.

Lol I know who to hit up if I ever get an a-spec kit But I'd have to get over the tl-s front lip. Maybe I need to see it in person, but in pictures it flares out a bit too much.

edmua6

^ Haha You know it, just let me know if you are doing it, i'll be glad to help you guys.

myron

iTrader: (4)

yea I am not feeling the type-s lip kit up front either, it just looks HUGE to me. Get the base and then custom fit it and paint it KBP. You'd be the first man.


So Ricky told me that there is a chance that the base 07 lower grills for fog lights might be able to fit in the 04-06 with some trimming. I am gonna be on the luck out for this and update you guys if I pull the trigger on this. It might be a good solution for us non-fog light guys.

Myron, do it! :P

Vincent, I was just going to tell you guys about this meet. I think all of us should go there and represent the TL/TSX community.

Also, I just finished changing my spacers at the back (5mm less), no more rubbing issues.

tsxsingh

im down! already hit "attending" on there fb page

riicky

i am down for the meet. we shall see how it goes..

myron

iTrader: (4)

yea i am down for that meet too.
I am getting 2 tires this week and then rims are probably gonna go on a week after that. Then I am gonna play with the spacers and all to see if I can run 20mm in the back and how much the fenders have to be rolled. I might just do the rear and run the 15mm back there and leave the front alone. Or roll the front and run 10mm in the front. I have 10,15, and 20mm spacers so I can play around with it.

edmua6

what's the offset of your wheels?
