I dropped $2000 into the TL that i didnt plan on dropping into it...
Getting Tranny Rebuilt at 167k + Oil Leak Fixed + Shocks Installed...
Plus i dont have a car to drive around for a week...
Plus i get to miss a week of work...


Just Venting/Ranting

 

Damn that sucks. That common for trannys to go bad around that mileage? Well glad your getting it fixed. Enjoy the time off, hehe.

 

I CANT STAND when I dont have my car, thats why I havent taken it into my dealership for its free tune up..

 

That shouldn't take too long at all, a couple hours at the most.

 

I'm always weary when someone else performs on my car unless it's someone I really know and trust.

Otherwise 90% of the stuff I do it myself.

I think the only thing I had to bring it to a shop (my uncle's) was changing the rear transmission mount.

 

yeah, but I can never schedule it on a day thats good for me.

 

damm bro that could have been some wheels or inspire kit

 

i know... and that came out of my downpayment for my next car that i was planning to get in a couple months

 

hey do you know who has a white 2.5 with inspires at grand marc? i saw it yesterday and was like

 

nope... for all i know, i thought i was the only first gen with inspires at UCR... ive seen a couple other first gens at riverside but dont know who drives em...

i say we stalk him/her and find out

 

IIRC, you live close to me, I was able to just walk into First Acura and have them do it, I have never had to schedule anything there. I think it is because it is their new location and they don't have as much of a customer base yet. I believe they used to be Acura of Newport.

 

it was there again all day yesterday at the visitors spot at grand marc.. yea we should stalk them so i can jack their inspires :thief:

 

demon, just curious a breakdown on that work to be done$$$. thinking i might need to get tranny done who's doing it and how much..

 

a family friend is doing it for me...
he's rebuilding the tranny, fixing the damn oil leak i have, installing my koni yellows, and fixing anything else that is old/needs to be fixed on the car

so the estimate i have up to date is approx. $1800... but ill find out next week when i go pick up my car

 

hey, I got a question about your konis... on the front set is there a brake line bracket? and on the rears where is the dampening adjustment?

 

you know what i don't really know... ill give it a check once i get the car back... hell to be honest i havent even taken them out of the box before i gave it to the guy to put on my car...
