BTW, Symon, how was the SXSW festival? I have a HOT friend who's working the event this week.
I only went for one event so I cant really comment on how the whole event was. It was pretty awesome for me though lmao. I'm not the party type of person so I probably wouldnt really enjoy the event as a whole... It was fucking hectic over there. After the event at like 2am, a party bus drive by and was like "Get on the bus~" I was like dafuq is this shit and just ignored it lol. Yeah.. not my kinda thing.

got a white RDX LOANER..........

dropped the ghost off and told them i DONT WANT IT BACK until the stink mold whatever the F it is......is GONE. Using the Wurth spray and CG New Car spray fixed anything to do with recirc.......it only has a smell when recirc is off and a/c is off and heat or a/c is on.

they got a kick out of my DO NOT WASH hang tag......and my T-shirt I got from the crook/

its nice. i hammered it a bit on the way home from chores and the gym this morning. put it in sport and used the paddles......its nice. it has like 3K miles so its new.

I dont like the taupe interior.......and I dont think I ever owned a white car.....not sure about the white.

if it could get better gas mileage I may have bought one. but I had a 30MPG limit which i never have gotten with my tsx LOL i have seen maybe 27 thats it.

St. Patrick's Day parade in Dallas today was nuts. 100,000 drunk people in a fairly small area made for some good people watching.

Would you rather me upload tiny pics that you can't see? And doesn't your browser resize them to fit the width of the browser anyways?

True true, it's just faster for me to post the higher res. I've already stopped posting pics from my Minus which would be a lot worse

I don't live in a typically winter-y region, but it's mid March and snowed this a few hours this morning... good thing I didn't have any summer tires on yet...

I hear ya. I've had several Acuras over the years, but have only done wheels/minor sound in the past. I'm in the Great Lakes area, and we can get a shit-ton of rain pretty much anytime of the year nowadays. Combine that with horrible roads, and yeah.. you really don't want to take the risk. I've really wanted to order an Icebox, but am not sure what I'd be in for during the wetter weather. There's no way I could lower my car with where I live, but what do you peeps think about intakes in crappier weather regions?

An intake isn't worth the money. Unless you want the car to sound slightly different.

They are what they are.. but yeah, I feel that I have fairly realistic expectations, performance-wise. What I was wondering about was just how much safer is the Icebox, compared to the others (in rainier climes)? That was always my concern in the past with intakes.

Yeah, if you are going for anything performance wise, save yourself $100+ and do nothing to see the same results.

You can get fancy shower caps for the filters. But having the filter down low like that they are all going to have the same risks. Water in = dead tsx (or if you are lucky a ton of money)

Seriously!! I drove in Nostrand Ave last month! Im lowered I took my car to the shop the next day just to check that nothing was cracked and leaking--- underbody was totally scraped up

Plus its not a great area to go low and slow at; stopped at a red light fight broke up two feet away from my car, next thing I know theres like 8 people in a massive brawl,one guy almost fell on my hood took out my phone to video tape it; brother slapped my phone out of my hand, "you want bullet holes on your car; if they see you video tapping put that ish away" lol -- cool story bro


In other news my 3rd day quitting cigarettes F****ng awful, decided it was time to quit after a night of drinking/smoking Friday night-got home couldnt stop coughing kept me up the whole night...

AND WHY THE HELL IS IT STILL SNOWING its Spring Already!!

Vinyled my foglights for a different look plus a little protection from rocks. Also got Nokya yellow for my drl and fogs. Now I just need to order the parts to do independent fogs.

haha no, I was joking about that. I wrote in white text after it that it was my co worker who bought it. I figured that everyone got it since it was pointed out after I posted it. I will have the tsx for a long time. I dropped a lot of money recently on wheels and tires (that I'm still waiting for).
