lent is over! i can finally drink

 

Decent mileage on these guys, all within 110k km, but I really lucked out on mine - its clean, 1 owner, never pushed hard etc. Bit of a mixed bag for me. I'm going to mull it over today and tomorrow. I really don't want to go through the process of selling either. If I keep her, well, im probably going to build a forged J36. 300 horse to the wheels will probably appease me for a long time, and will be reliable enough since it'll be mostly all OEM parts.

An all new engine and maybe an 06 or 07 accord tranny and I could see myself keeping her for a long long time...

 

Far from what I was able to get here. Lowest interesting 6MT was 170k, $9500 and front bumper had been changed (no Acura logo) because of a "fender bender" and was slightly misaligned. Had a bearing to change and a few other things like paint chipping here and there. Irony that it wasn't fixed since the guy had a body shop. It was silver too, which wasn't my first choice. Wanted either blue or black. Also needed winter tires + summer tires... Was Navi though.

Add to that the fact it was a 2006 thus I needed to pay taxes on the value in the book for the plates (while a 2004 being 10+ years old you pay taxes on what the seller sold it to you AKA 1$) and it turned out to be more expensive for little gain in my book. It sounds silly, but when you do 15000km a year, 30000km difference (NBP I got had 138K paid $8600) is two years...
Price difference in the end would have been easily $2K. Guy wouldn't budge from his price so I just walked away. Took him another 3 months to sell, kept seeing it on Kijiji.


I don't really have plans to touch the car mechanically, although I'd enjoy a throatier sound from the exhaust. The TL is a very discrete V6, even at WOT.

 

Yeah when I was buying mine in November there just weren't any decent mileage 6MTs to be had. now there are a few but they're all 04s.

I would leave the car stock but... just not my nature. I start tinkering and upgrading and just don't really stop. Same problem I had with recording gear and same problem I perpetually have with my gaming rig at home.

We'll see - right now I'm waiting for Bruce to finish up the exhaust and I'm going to have all the basic bolt ons ready to go. Gotta remember to do a dyno before and after too

 

For all it's worth I'd take a cheaper 04 instead of a 05-06 6MT since it has virtually no important difference in my eye. TPMS, passenger airbag cut-off switch and seat stitching are all jokes that I could go without.


I'm scared I'll get the upgrade bug... I'm pretty sure I'll be fine though, I'll stick to cheap mods.

 

Y'all are gonna get a for TL talk in here on Monday!

Happy Easter, y'all!

 

Who says we're gonna talk about the TL tomorrow?

Happy Easter.

 

Ugh some ass hat stole my car registration sticker. Now I gotta goto the DMV and get a replacement

 

 

Mizzy...you can't order a duplicate online?

 

New owner here. 2007 white with navi 80k miles. I have the HFL issue but have read a couple good threads to get it fixed. Look forward to helping contribute!

 

 

I knew that was coming...


Hi everyone!

 

car theft soon?

 

I keep hoping that crab will get that cat!

In other news, I painted my brake rotor drums to prevent rust from taking over my rotors. Looks awesome!

 

 

Hey Frantz!

I need to paint the rotors on the S2000...they're a little rusty.

 

What color are you thinking, J? I haven't seen the new S yet so I'll need to mosey on down to your thread at some point.

 

Being in Florida, it drives me crazy.

 

Rust in Florida? Bath salts are that corrosive?

 

I can but the damn thing costs me $20 and will take like 2 weeks to mail. And I still run the risk of getting pulled over.

 

 

Fuggin allergies.....

 

Gary, fuck owning a GT-R.. get a V. I got sideways with TC on.. it was righteous in an ungodly way. If I find a parking lot the size of a football field.. without light posts and curbs (justn).. I might turn TC off.



Looking for tire deals

 

No, but unprotected metal + rain + oxygen = corrosion.

 

bruh..
sarcasm doh?

 

So.. J is the leader of teh tip. Gatr is the leader of the balls.. who is the leader of the shaft region?

 

Damn finally had coffee since Ash Wednesday... All jittery now

 

I should've used red text

 

Gatr's from FL

 

Talking about bath salts.. some college kids and their dog got effed up here over the weekend on K2.

You guys hear about the pesticide case in the VI that has a family in critical. They rented some villa that's probably 1k/night only to come in contact with some effed up chemicals that put them in a coma. Fuck that noise.. pesticide contractor is Terminix.

 

 

Morning all.

 

Good morning...
nothing more to report than a little dribble. Otherwise, tip is lookin good!




Fkn sideways with TC ON!?!?!

 

Watched the Justin Beaver roast last night. Martha had me ...actually, overall, there were some pretty nice burns.

 

Yeah, I got the sarcasm part.

 

Yep.. SIL was like.. I felt the Geeezzz...

 

I don't think you did.. cuz you were like No..

 

Hittin the Sis in law's G spot...
