ok so went for a evening track session today

it was fun and all that, ran with some M3, Z4, RX-8, WRX...

but for the last few laps i heard my rear brakes squeals like crazy, i need new pads right now!!!

i went to the track with 10% at the rear, thought it would hold it but it couldn't, on the way home it just squeals like crazy whenever i brake

also the front tires are completely worn out!!! the Toyo T1-S is good, but the compound is too soft, it was chewed up and i see a lot of steel wires on the sidewall

and most of all....my TRANNY!!

when i left i start noticed there's a slip from 2nd to 3rd, and it wouldn't go away!!!

there's a slight rev when it change from 2nd to 3rd, give a half second delay, like going to netrual then back to 3rd

is that a sign of tranny bye bye? i need to cally my dealer tmr if that's the case, i will need a new tranny

 

Probably just too hot. Let it cool down before you drive it home next time.

 

Jeff TSX told me i might not have enough ATF, i will check that tmr, if not then it is the tranny

my brakes are like a fucktard playing violin....imagine...

and need new tires, Rob do u get any hookups?

i can swap them when i come next month

 

IMO....

 

what'd you expect? its a TL

 

how well did ur BBK hold up

 

night at the track for me last night, tranny is still amazingly holding up! I thought the tranny sympton was 1'st to 2nd?

 

Where's my invite biatch? I'll have my headers, intake, springs and kit on my new TL-S this week, I need to do a track day before the weather gets cold...

Sam, how much did it cost? how long (time)? what courses?

hit me up a few days prior to your next outing.... I'll be thur..

 

they are better than ever, never fades since it run in

i think the last thing the car will bail me out is the BBK, the tires and tranny bailed me out already

i just love them, and ppl who sat in my car on the track could feel it too, it's like whoa that is some serious braking power

 

sorry patrick, i got a late notice too, i was told on fri night and it was on sunday so i only able to call a few guys that i know

but i will let u know for next time for sure

actually there's one on this sat, but i am not going, if u want to go let me know then i will hook u up

 

ok so first thing to do when i wake up today is to change my squeaky brake pads

done that in no time at my garage and the pads had barely anything left

check the ATF fluid level and it's at the right level, but the ATF is burnt, the smell is not good at all

i drove too hard on the track and seemed overheated the ATF

drained and refilled ATF and see if it's getting better....but it was still the same

i realied changing the ATF won't help so i gave a call to my dealership that i been going for 3 yrs and they were giving me shit!!!

they said they cannot look at my car until next monday and if i need a new tranny i won't be getting a courtesy car

then i started to get mad and i told them if i don't fucking get a car don't expect me to come.

and they said "well just come next monday and let us to check out ur car first, u will get a car for one day and if u need a new tranny then we will work on that from that point"

WTF? i am not going to wait for that long since my tranny can fucked up in no time, and he told me well the timing is not right blah blah blah, giving me shit. and the loaner car has to be authourized by Honda Canada.....

then i called up my frd Evil John from TSX board and he works at Terrence Gate Acura as Service advisor and he will take care of it tmr morning.

see? having a frd works there makes ur life easier

just hope everything will be fine

 

damn. that's what i'm afraid of when i go for my next tranny.


good luck bro. btw, how many miles?

 

42k miles

 

You both need to sign up for the Speed Trial for October 22nd at Gingerman. It's quite a drive, yeah, but it'll be an awesome time. Let's see what you've got.

Registration isn't available yet, however.

 

You burnt the tranny fluid?

Good luck.

 

i still cant figure out how to change my tranny fluid. that stupid bolt is on there pretty tight

 

Drain or fill bolt?

 

yeah i drove too hard and little rest in between coz it was a 3 hr session only

so i didn't get too much rest in between

 

That will happen.


Transmission coolers are pretty much useless for the purpose of prolonging the life, but it will help in keeping the transmission fluid temperature down on the track. Get one.

 

that's what i was told by my mech, see if i can find a good one cheap

any good recommendations?

and do i need a big one?

 

fill bolt

 

so why wouldn't they give you a loaner?

 

Yeah, that one's a bitch.

 

Eh, not really. Just a decent sized one. Find one about the same size as the Comptech one.

In fact, I think Summit Racing sells the same one for cheap... but the hoses aren't long enough, which are like 2 bucks at Home Depot.

 

they said my car is over 3 yrs and do not have a courtesy car for warrenty job

if i need a car i need the authourized from honda canada

but i do have 6 yr extended warrenty fucker, if they don't fucking give me a car and i won't go there for sure

 

man that's freaking far away, my car's mileage is dialing up quick

i am planning to sell to next year so i can get a G man, b4 100000km mark
