Finally happened..

BOOM! Didnt even know it happened till i picked up my friend and he asked why my car was faintly smoking. I didnt even notice the smoke.. maybe cause i have bad eye sight or just used to hot boxing.. LOL. Turned off the engine and popped the hood, some smoke came out and he looked to the side. Big ass puddle of oil! We looked behind my car and come to find out i left a long ass trail of oil through the neighborhood. I'd say at least 1/2-3/4 of a block long trail.



Went out and bought parts to fix it today and total came out to 162 for everything.

OEM Oil Pan
HondaBond Liquid Gasket
Mobil 1 Oil
Mobil 1 EP Filter
Power Steering fluid*wasnt long overdue and needed some anyways*

My car has changed though ever since i last posted it. Rarely post on here anymore.

TSX WHEELS ARE FOR SALE BTW, if interested just pm me. Ill sell for a nice price!

Ouch.. been seeing more and more cracked oil pans.. look out for bumps! Someone should mock up a skid plate for 2G TL's..

Type S wheels look better.. Good change!

You install that seat? not sure how i feel about racing seat in luxury sedan..

Ouch...I hit a mean pot hole the other day, luckily I saved my cat, but destroyed my cusco lower bar

Clean looking car. The type S wheels look way better than the tsx wheels imo.

They did mock one up but I guess never mass produced them.

I tried putting the seat in but long story short it was way too much work making it fit. Also the TL seat is about 6inches off the floorboard and under the TL seat was basically a damn computer. Too much work involved. I'd prefer my heated seats anyways!

Hard good change! Spent months finding the perfect set and had to convince the seller to ship them also.

Forgot to mention i am running spacers all around so that might throw the look off in terms of being low. Tire pressure and tire size accounts for it also. I'm running 215/45/17 all around.

This is the lowest point besides the oil pan which sits a bit lower then this.
