nice RLX

 

Could look pretty good with wheels and aero kit. Much better then the previous gen. TL's (esp. 4G) IMO. Definitely has design cues from the 3G which was IMO the best looking one. If the 4cyl is around 33-34k (320i, A4 2.0T territory) I think it will sell well.

 

I wish I had black instead of white... But then again my paint would be very swirled after having 92k on it and being outside half the time, and in the Chicago winter.

 

Why do you want a black one over a white one?

I mean I love the way my black car looks when its clean and scratch free... but that's never.

 

Mine is always dirty anyways? LOL and even when it's clean it looks not as good as black. Black shines and I would keep it waxed, when this car is waxed it doesn't look as good as a black tsx. but it's fine, this car has just turned into a beater car anyways, parents don't do maintenance other than oil changes and even then it'll run a long time.

 

i never understood the obsession with black cars.
any color can pop and shine

 

I do not like black, white, and silver cars.

 

I love Imola Red and Lemans Blue!

You never know what you have until it's gone... PWP? (what I have) is not bad and I was in love with it when we bought it, but now so much salt is caked onto it and there is never any time to wash it and wax it. Black would be worse.

 

I had a pearl white Mazda 6 before my CBP TSX. Didn't have to wash it much, and looked pretty good when clean, but I prefer the look of black during the night. I really wanted a Vortex Blue TSX, but stupid Acura doesn't make a Vortex in SE trim.

 

I like that red and blue. It also helps that the cars are sexy.

 

I've seen a 1st gen TSX repainted in the BMW M3's Valencia Orange and it is a thing of beauty!
Owner's a cool dude too.

 

^ got any pics?

 

 

Haha some of those old people drive insane anyways

 

SHIT!
I striped the alan bolt on one of the rear sway bar end link... local acura dealer dosen't stock the part.

Does it share the same part with the civic or accord? maybe the honda dealer has some...

 

the end link?
saw it off. and replace with either stock or MOOG's

 

This peice... I stripped the alan socket like an idiot when taking it off, so i removed the whole arm instead.





what do you mean saw it off?

Can i go to honda and get an accord one? is it the same part? I am searching now but cant find anything

 

since you stripped the end link, you wont be able to get it off.
you'll need to saw through the bolt.
and that end link looks exactly like my end link, but I am totally not sure if they are the same.

remember, most cars dont have a rear sway bar, and you will be fine driving without one, but it may induce swaying, so be careful!

 

I don't need to get it off right now though. i'm putting a new sway bar on. the bar is on, but now i need an end link to go back on the car.
it looks like the part is here

I need to find a local one though. I hope other acura / honda share this part. I called one dealer and he told me $87 for the part and he dosen't stock it... but maybe he thought i meant a different part?

edit
nevermind that was front
here is rear

need to get this somewhere..

 

So since we have a front sway bar and a rear sway back, our cars handle better than an accord? or what? Thanks Justin

 

it's called an "end link" or sway bar link.
if you have an aftermarket shop near by, see if they carry the MOOG's.
the only difference between the stock and MOOGs is the moog's wont bind and strip like your stock one did.

 

the accord also has them. which is why i am wondering if i can get an accord end link to replace the one i just broke..


Alright thanks i'll see what i can find.

 

Dont know if it handles better than the accord, but our suspension (double wishbone) is superior to MOST.

 

if they are the same size, yes! it will work!
i'm just worried one will be shorter or longer than the other. but if same size, it will work and serve the same purpose

 

maybe i should just saw it off and take it over to Honda and see what they have..
I cant confirm it online so far.

 

i think if it the same it would have the same part number/



I may be losing my work on 3/31/.

If so, wagon for sale 25K back to stock or 27K with ALL mods and original parts too. it has 9,000 miles on the clock.

 

have no clue what you do..but we are still in some tough times. hope you bounce back.

was the funding cut to your project that you were working on?

 

wow dude that sucks. good luck if you become unemployed!

 

Best of luck Rob. Would hate to see your build end.

 

sucks man.. tough times.



So, i went to acura and honda after sawing that shit off. $90 and its special order. So, i will have to order one online for less than half that price and not drive my car a few days.

Which one should i go for?

edit:

i can get this with 2 day ship for cheap, i cant tell if its for sure the right peice though

 

thanks guys.

I work for a giant corporation for 15 years. now in middle management but came up through the ranks as a programmer/

down side is project managers are a dime a dozen.
I have not touched code since about 2007 except in very limited doses.
now they tell me I need to KNOW the NEW STUFF as they call it.

i am plastering my resume all over but my age is the killer for most.

I am considering some small biz ideas but the risk is high/

 

got this from amazon for $30 1 day ship.

Is it any better than stock?

 

End links dont really do anything but tie in the rear sway bar to the control arm.
the only way that it can be better is if the "allen key" part doesnt get binded or stuck

 

Oh ok, just asking cause i saw some "upgraded" ones for $200ish which looked like a total ripoff.

Hope this shows up quick..

 

Programmer eh? Is that why all your lines of text have the "/" at the end?

 

it would have a ";" wouldn't it?

 

A slash is for adding comments after code if I remember correctly. A semi colon goes to the next line of code? I took one programming class for C a few years ago in college. It was mildly interesting.

 

// or /* is comments
; ends the line

 

/life.

 

i think you mean life;
