Seeing a bunch of teslas all over the place in the chicago land area.

Mercedes>BMW

I haven't seen one lol. At my sisters graduation right now at Loyola, boring right now.

TSXy Luster

I see too many here, kinda just another car now. Get more attention if you drive a Kia Soul or Nissan Qube.

Tannis

I haven't seen a single Tesla in person. Everyone here drive a BMW or a Ferrari. lol

Oh! Anyone live near Virginia Beach?! Sumospeed meet tomorrow from 11-2. I'm hosting my own after as long as rain holds out.

Correction.. Snow Bunnies

BTW, this is too damn funny!

waaasobe

you guys hear about that battery issue with those teslas ? they go completely dead when sitting for too long then you have to replace the entire battery pack for 16 grand i think.

ps. i want to lower my car but i just want to use springs and i was wondering what you guys prefer i looked into the eibach's but to be honest thats all i know of. any other options i should look into ?

MC MiYoung3269

You should look into coilovers I don't do much research on springs so I wouldn't know either lololol



On another note.... my 5x4 ft roll of CF vinyl came in and I'm going nuts with it

damn benben i think i speak for everyone quit teasing us with that crap. On anther not hows the RX8 treating ya. Guy in my shop got an early RX8 and and that thing has rough starts.

benben01

Sorry Odus.. Don't mean to tease but I have respect the wishes and privacy of our significant others.. Know what I am saying? As for the RX8, it's silky smooth. No issues whatsoever. That's why I ended up the the 2nd gen RX8 because Mazda sorted out all the issues and updated the motor to be more reliable. That said, there's a certain maintenance routine you have to follow and rev it regularly to blow out any carbon in the rotor chambers..

Not sure if I posted these pics with my Volks refinished to match the body color:

odus

ohhh those wheels are amazing did you swap the exhaust you had from your last rx8?

benben01

Thanks Odus! I was able to savage the Racing Beat exhaust from the last RX8. Only thing I didn't salvage was the coilovers.

waaasobe

the car looks great benben ! and, i also happen to enjoy the snow bunny present in your new pic

if any of you guys are looking for a new shift knob, i found this on ebay it should be with me in a few weeks.

On the way to my buddy's house for an install day, I came across these!

just because

TSXy Luster

Hmm not a fan of the rear RLX lights.

ed_423

looking good ben

TSXy Luster

Dealing with customer service people over the phone or internet chat is one of the worst things to do.

Mr. NC

That RLX is a pain too look at....looks like a buick but...asian....what a letdown

Mr. NC

Daaaaaaaaamn son

Mr. NC

Word to your mom and all them baby mommas today

benben01

Honda needs to fire the design team and the execs for approving this ho-hum rendition of the RLX. Truly disappointing exterior and missed opportunity to make a bold statement.

Mr. NC

Honda hasn't designed a good looking car since....the DC5 Integra, new NSX doesn't even count since it doesn't "exist" yet.

Best RL Gen ever, current gen is so yawn worthy....its literally a bigger TSX, how do you choose this flagship over the new Lexus LS or even the Infiniti M...and their Q should drop in a year or two...SMH Honda

benben01

^^ That RL was a move in the right direction. How they went from a sporty/euro looking flagship to something Buick would make fun of is beyond me. Looks like GM punked Honda on this one

they got scared.

I LOVE THE 4G TL.
but people didnt.


they are scared to mess up again.its to safe.

Mr. NC

Cuz that gen RL was the last gen made/designed in Japan possibly? It went down hill from there honestly. That car had it all sporty body + SH-AWD and a decently sized v6....sadly I heard it was as reliable as euro's which means not rly reliable at all

I LOVE the 4G TL that was probably the best nose job since Kim K got hers done forreals. I will go out on a limb and say the 4G TL is the best looking car in the Lineup right now

Mr. NC

She is a mom

TSXy Luster

Because the last time they tried to be bold, you all hated them for it, so now they give bland and say here, you asked for this. Deal with it.

MC MiYoung3269

03-08 were the best years for Acura imo. The whole lineup looked nice.
Also the 3G TL will never get old Still one of the best looking cars today for me.

I was actually looking for an 08 RL before I gave up and went with the TSX. Really wanted a white one with Mugen kit.... They look so dam good

Mr. NC

Fun fact those AME rims are made by Enkei

The 3G TL looks dated next to a 4G TL imho

if i had the funds, I'd pick up a 6mt sh-awd TL.
