Ramps are my birthday present.

Silver cf no bueno.......too much contrast. Maybe a darker one would be better.

I have 2.....lots of times you need to tighten and torque with suspension loaded. Also you should never go under a vehicle with only a Jack........

I also find I can't lift the wagon all that high if I put Jack under front or back .....which I do to lift it enough to put a jack stand under it. Plus they were a gift.

Or just buy some quality jack stands so that you won't get crushed by your car.

I copped a black on black 12 TSX with the tech package. I'm looking to put some rims on it within the next couple of months. I'm leaning towards the Niche Milans.

If I go with 19", I can go with 40 series tires right? Thoughts?

What have you guys gotten for 0-60 times on this car? According to the Torque app... i just did it in 13.4s 0_o. Although i did have AC on full and i got some air for a second that still seems horribly slow.

Went to check out a '12 TSX at my local Infiniti, everything looks great, started the car and the TSX started up like a Harley Davidson! Salesman claims someone stole the catalytic converter. I didn't stay at the dealership for more than 5 minutes as that TSX may have been tempered with.

WTF, has anyone had their catalytic converter stolen?

^usually more common on trucks as trucks are higher off the ground and a thief can steal a cat easily.

on cars, you'd have to pick apart the engine, jack it up, etc.
good job on running away from that car and dealership.

Hmm, there was a whole row of trucks at the next dealership but why this TSX? That's a lot hassle to steal the catalytic converter.
