How's everyone on Acurazine today? Well, I've been a long time member since 2005 and I must say that everyone here has been helpful in all questions that I had. I began my years on AZine driving in an 03 TL. I loved that car, but with the numerous amounts of problems i've had with that car, I had to let her go. I did minor mods on the TL here and there but wasn't major. We had that car in the family for about 8years. In August of 2010, her second tranny decided to go, and the car was in the shop for about a month. Then at the end of September, the 3rd tranny was then rebuilt and complete. I thought about keeping her but then beginning of October 2010, tranny #3 went bad again. So, I contacted the shop, they said it would take another month because some parts needed to be special ordered.

I then decided, it's not worth bringing the car back to the shop so I went car shopping. At first, I was going to purchase a Kia Forte... I know a Kia but they had great 10yr/100,000 mile warranty. I almost finalized the deal but then realized that they tried to rip me off on the car which wasn't even worth it. I drove around and there was a dealership by my place and they had an 05 PWP TSX with Navi. That car only had 41K miles on her. Asking price for it was 19K but with a little bit of hard work, I talked them down to 16,500 before licensing fees and documents with 6000 for my trade in. I then got the deal and drove her off the lot of 10/18/2010.

It has now been a year since I purchased the car and I absolutely love it. Going to an Inline 4 from a v6 was a big change but saved me more on gas! I now have 62K miles on her after 1 year of owning her. I know I put a lot of miles on her, but they are only Highway Miles. Considering, that the miles on the car is still low for a 6year old car. So I then decided to mod the car a little bit to make her look the way I want her to look... So here are the mods i have completed over the past year up until now.

LED doors, and license plate. 10/2010
Redid Tint from 30 to 18% tint. 12/2010
6000K HID 12/2010

Now, since the modding has slowed down since I just got my rims, I'm getting TEIN Coilovers from my homeboi this spring. Though, as you can see I've done a lot over the past year, coilovers will be the last I will be doing this spring. Then off buying a new home hopefully by this summer or fall.. So, there you have it. Acurazine has gotten to me real bad like it did to most of you guys.

Again, thank you for all of the help and how great this forum have been. I will post of pictures of my new wheels when I get them put on next week.

 

You can't post about how much you've bought for your car and NOT give us some pictures

 

I didn't read because I knew pictures weren't going to follow..
