Word. Inserts are cheap enough and I went through the same thing: put on aftermarket wipers and got a wicked amount of chatter and squeaking. Went back to OEM and it was silent like a ninja.

Here are the notes I jotted down for a 2014 Tech Wagon (I believe the fronts are the same for the sedan):

Front DS Wiper Blade PN 76622-SLN-A12
~$4.43 from Acura
~$4.31 from Honda

Front PS Wiper Blade PN 76632-SHJ-A12
~$4.03 from Acura
Not Avail from Honda (not sure about alt PNs)

Rear Wiper Blade PN 76622-S50-003
~$4.07 from Acura
~$3.94 from Honda

nice, thanks (and iCrap)

maybe it's not the wipers then. I'm seeing what appears like grease marks when I use them though. When I use the washer fluid, it's fine.. but once the window gets cleared up and I flick it a couple more times, it looks a blurry mark near the part where the passenger side wiper makes its full rotation (so near the middle of the windshield). When my driver side wiper comes back down, it creates an even bigger smudge when it goes over that part.

I'm not sure what it is.. I've washed my car several times with decent car soap (includes the wipers), and the issue still remains. Maybe I need new inserts? My car is pretty new... it just started telling me I'm low on washer fluid for the first time.

 

At least yours doesn't do this lol

 

^omg no swearing? da fuk is this shit?

 

That mid-arm pseudo streak? Yeah, I got that too...



I figured the blade was fuxxored from a pine needle that got stuck there a while back. Now I'm starting to think not...

 

Took of the actual resonator today. Sounds much louder now.
Very nice.

 

Same here. I even tried wiping down the blade with a paper towel after a car wash and still get that. I'm gonna try a different insert next time. The last 2 were OEM. Wonder if replacing the arm would help?

 

It's actually the metal strip that goes into the insert, it's not bent correctly so it does that. Pretty sure if you mess with it for a while you'll get it right, but I've just been too lazy to do that lol. I did for a little bit but gave up

 

i dunno whats up with your guy's cars... my OEM wipers with the new inserts are great.

 

Mine has been like that since I got it

 

it should sound exactly the same tho lol... cause you already had that rubber thing taken out.

 

Mine leaves the middle streak too and it looks gross when it dries. My blades are getting worse and worse.

 

This is exactly why I want to change mine...also the reason I don't want the OEM ones.

 

The gap between the 2 pipes was only like 1/8 inch tho without the rubber coupler, and when you drove the pieces would shift and they would be almost back together. Its definitely noticeably louder now.

 

Gonna get the PCD installed next week sometime. Also installed 15mm spacers in the rear, and gonna continue polishing the car (finally..)

 

so, i'm out smoking a turkey

and I see this flying above







the city is doing some kind of work behind my house.
looks like they're using helicopters to pick up something heavy. yes, two helicopters going back and fourth.
pretty fucking cool!

 

Ah ok. I had mine out totally for a while but it droaned like a mofo, so now i have it back in there but there's a big hole in the side... so it's quiet until you really get on it.

Nice. I wonder if you'll feel any big gains just having it without the FP.


I averaged 33MPG on my little 800 mile road trip this weekend, before dime feng's map i could never break 28.5. Good stuff.

Front bumper did not do well. something must have fell off a car and hit it or rocks or something.... big chunk taken out of my grille and bumper.

 

damn last hour i've been looking at those jdm headlights...

it sucks since i'm saving money to spend for my vacation. this may be something i need to put on hold until next summer.

 

those headlights are so nice. but like 1k+ right?

 

No worries, I'll have a FP soon

pics of your bumper/grille? Sounds really bad..

You guys referring to the JDM headlights where the amber is clear? Or the EDM bi-xenon lights? I like both... but makes no sense to spend on the JDM one if it's just a piece of reflector that's different

 

i meant the EDM bi-xenon

 

am starting the process; send PM if there is something you want from my mods.
parts i never installed will be first up. i will take apart the suspension in the next few weeks before it gets too cold.

check the Black market.

i will be selling a set of depo with clear marker from fishcake
mine have OEM brand new ballast and igniter.
Phillips CBI 5000K low beam
VLEDS 1800 lumen DRL/High 5000k
VLEDS Triton Switchbacks 5000k
TRS Clear lenses
Amber LED Devil eyes
Sequential LED signals.
and like 50 or 100 gram silicate bags in case any moisture gets in...the biggest ones I could fit, I cant recall the exact amount LOL


At this time its ALL or nothing. I will make you a good deal.
After they are out, then we will see about parting things out.
Last week someone called dibs on the CBI bulbs LOL.....but like I say, i prefer to sell as ONE UNIT and will make you a great deal.



They have maybe 3,000 miles. Maybe.

oh and I have one of the JDM real grilles. 11+

 

$0.99!

 

So, as soon as you hit 100MPH in sport mode it slams into 5th gear. wth? what's the point?
doesn't do that in drive.

 

Rob are you leaving us? Why are you selling everything?

You're the meaning in my life,
You're the inspiration.

 

i have more peeps to inspire LOL


i dont use my wagon. work from home now or travel.

 

Late reply lol, but that looks like it's actually caused by passenger getting in/out of your car and their jeans/metal shit on the corners of Jean pockets rubbing against the paint. I have so much of that shit on my car after my sister drove it for 2 weeks. And my moms cars rear doors are pretty much filled from her getting in/out of her car in the garage since she parks too close to the side.

 

Like just sport mode? or Sport - M mode? lol

Maybe.... who knows though Have yet to buff it out, but I barely notice it anyways lol. Washed my car today and didn't even remember about that being there...

 

Just sport (non manual) mode.
I looked it up though, so at 105mph it will go into 5th gear if you are in sport. I don't get the point of that lol.

 

Probably because your final gears are over drive.. meant for cruising, not meant for taking a load.

 

Yeah but it wasn't at the top of third, it was like 4k. And also if you are in Drive it won't do that. It's just something they have set with the sport mode (on all Acuras apparently) to go into the last gear at 105mph.

 

Damnit.

Dunno how I'm gonna fix that grille / bumper area

 

 

i know dat chippy feel

 

You should wrap your car.

 

AZ got rid of the thanks button?

 

Noooooo i loved that button!

 

I knew something was up when I refreshed my azine tab and I was logged out.....

 

Considering it....

Whatever i hit even managed to cut through the vinyl on my grille also. wtf.





btw your shits on the way, be there by friday probably. Enjoy my shitty wrap job lol.

 

I thought the same thing!

AND I was going to thank you for this comment and realized I couldn't
