OK, so I been on here since 2009 and I still feel like a noob, always learning, trying to learn or just reading as much as I can...

but I searched, and searched and searched again for things before I put my questions out there... now there have been times when folks have find threads I just couldn’t find and I try and learn from that

however, it seems like now anyone who has joined recently does not want to search or just doesn’t want to read all the threads out there on the subject.. its getting annoying with all the spoon feeding

again I am not saying don’t ask for help but ask after you did your search because a lot, and I mean a lot of TL owners have done their homework and posted information for others to read... TL owners have spent their hard time researching the information and making it available for other owners to take advantage of

if you are unsure how to search I always search within the titles.. and use " " to look for a specific word.. if you do xxxx for all posts then you just get back hundreds of items.. narrow your search and you will find what you need

and if you do get back a lot of threads then just look for the ones that have more pages written because they usually end up having a lot of valid information

if you don’t have time to search and read then don’t mod your car

if you want to be spoon fed then get a Civic or BMW

there is no stupid question as long as you did your homework

(and for the folks who have taught me about this car, stop enabling them if you know they didn’t search, all you are doing is perpetuating the annoying behavior)

 

I like the noob questions.

More posts for me

More posts on a forum = better community.

Inb4 on saying about teaching a man to fish...

 

you have to realize, that sometimes someone can search and search and not find something. But when they ask, someone can come along and do the search and find it for them. Sometimes having someone else look at your problem can come with better results. I know this has happened to me a bunch of times.

 

What's up with that?

 

Someone didn't take their prozac today. What gives you the right to tell everyone not to help out the new people? I'm the first person to search anything, but if I can't find a good or correct answer (even bringing up old threads people STILL get flamed for that), I'm going to open a fresh thread with a different circumstance or situation. Stop letting bullshit get under your skin so much..this is the internet... if you don't like it, just move on.

What he said +1 ^^^^^^

 

^^^ lol

 

so what cold air intake is the best for our cars ? I wanna gain 28horses....

 

^pvc pipe and a autozone filter..if you want like 40hp use pantyhose instead of the filter

 

Does anyone know if the Accord fogs will fit in my 06 TL bumper??

 

What's wrong with civics and BMWs?

 

nothing at all...unless your name happens to be FCVadi

 

You're all weird!

OP, I understand what you're saying, but how you said it made it sound bad. :/

I like what your trying to do but it's not going to do anything.

"honey its not what you said, its how you said it"

def not trolling....nor stupid....

he is a great/knowledgeable guy....

and i understand his point of view....but we live in an imperfect world...and when people keep asking what exhaust to get it does get irritating at a point...

which reminds me

will the 5x120 rims fit my 05 TL ?

 

^^THIS!

 

In before the

 

LOL this topic is just like a what weight oil do i need. honestly you will soon learn as the value drops on the Acura that more and more first time drivers will own one. Most of the first time owners are internet savvy but LAZY. why search 15 min when I can post and get a response in email that only takes 2 min. its been the same way on every forum since bulletin boards if you need to vent then vent and move on. Im sure you will see a "what tire fits my car latter today" lol

 

Who cares?

 

this thread is more useless than a new thread asking "what mod should i do?"

Nobody will likely be searching for a thread "use the search button" and noobs certainly won't be reading this thread.

This thread will just become another junk thread stockpiled in the heap of threads already out there.

More junk to sift through for when I DO perform a search. I hate that.

 

Calm down. Lighten up. Don't take the interwebz so seriously.

This thread will be a fail.

 

^^^ u kiddin me....

i see WIN written all over this thread

 

It's way past a fail.

 

3G rules and guidelines for NWS and posting (PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU POST)


And that's the bottom line.

 

Its not like you are paying to use this forum, its a free forum, all are welcome. And btw, every single forum has this 'issue'. Not a big deal, skip the repetitive threads if they bug you.


PS does anyone know how much a rear decklid spoiler is? Or where I can get one?? Whats aspec??

 

CAUSE STONE COLD SAID so.

 

For the noobs: try putting your search term in google and put AcuraZine in the search terms as well if you are not having luck using the AZ search function.

 

You guys crack me up.....

 

I think what we constantly need are 4-6 "Should I Buy this TL" or, a flavor of, similar titled threads in the 3G section. Do some G.D. research and either a) buy the car or b) don't buy the car.

 

It's a forum... this is normal behavior. To be honest, having new threads about old topics is great sometimes. I'd rather have people posting the same information over and over instead of running across some old dusty threads nobody has touched in the back of the skeleton closet that some forums become. New posts signify some life and community activity.

If everyone just read the same old posts, you wouldn't get as much innovation. Eventually some_random_joe_00 is going to roll in here and ask how to install some_random_part_00 and people will respond (if they are not being grouchy) with some good tips that may not have been touched on in the original thread that was made 6 years ago.

 

I made this for 2G section, but ya'll can use it too, its pretty universal, its not perfect but i didnt wanna write an essay on using the search feature

Google is your friend.

Input into search bar: "tl.acurazine.com (search terms)"

The is the fastest way I found to search.

 

I find using Google then the topic and adding the word acurazine works best as mentioned by ggesq

EDIT: Or the method by TmaX =)

I also click "find more results from acurazine" or whatever it is lol

 

Nice. Gotta figure out someplace (or a couple of places) to post that.

 

OP, you should see some of the crap that pops up over in 2G TL...

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-116/3ed-gen-swap-843774/

 

what is acurazine? is it a porn site?

 

^^Valid question. Anyone know the answer to this? By the way is 22 mpg normal? I thought I would be getting better than that!!

 

As a newer member, I know I have posted 2 new threads asking questions that have obviously been asked before ( lets face it, 6 years go by for a car and everything has been done to it thats possible), the first couple of responses were nice, courteous and helpful, making me want to come back here for everything which is what the owner of this forum wants right? Then we get some people who do this

" JUST FUCKING SEARCH IT K, I MEAN CMON BRO WTF IS A SEARCH BAR FOR? GAWD. FUCKING NOOBS "

or this one

This question has been asked so many times, just search it...idiot

now I can understand that people get annoyed answering the same question over and over...But is it necessary to insult the guy who probably just bought his car and is in love with it as much as you are? No its not, all it does is give people on here a bad rep honestly. And another member said it perfectly " every circumstance is different" and really, not everyone understands the DIY and needs clarification with one thing or another.

Sorry for ranting...I've just noticed this alot on this board and I feel like it makes Acura owners seem like Volvo owners..LOL. no but seriously, everyone should chill out and help the noobs...like me :3
