I have a 05 AT and was wondering if it was worth getting a tranny cooler because of my addiction to the hard launch. now i dont use it alot but probably once or twice a week when im in the mood i do it. method im talkin about is when u shift into neutral and take the revs up to 4k and push the brake pedal and pul the revs up to 2.5k and releasing the brake. how much wear and tear is my tranny going thru and shud i get the tranny cooler (if there is such a thing for our car)

 

sigh, even when i was ur age with my TL i didnt do dumb things like this.

word of advice stop, you're not driving a civic and can just kick it around like the buck of metal it is.....this is considered a luxery car, treat it like one.

and learn to search, there are some REALLY REALLY old posts on good launch methods for an A/T

you're from STL? did you get pulled over a few days ago for having your lights too blue?

 

I wouldn't be worried about it getting to hot, but the damage you are physically doing by slamming it into gear. There is a tranny cooler for the TL, but it's hard to install and costly. One member, forgot his name.... but he has a GNX and also the world's unluckiest TL.... who put one on. I'll try to dig up his name....

 

haha i actually read this launch method on the older posts but if its that bad il stop doing it...im in chesterfield and no that was not me. my lights are stock..for now. angel eyes come in soon. do u happen to have a blackoutd TL? i was at walmart today and i saw a TL wid blacked out headlights tailights and rims.

 

thing is though im not slamming the car into the gear...i shift normally into D then build the revs up to 2.5k and then release the brake..this method was in one of the forums on how to launch a TL something abt the tourque converter or something like that...

 

no i'm Anthracite baby


blacked out TL in chesterfield? it's gotta be either Paz480's or DistortedReality.

but yea, don't launch that way please....

 

so you're just 2 footing it? if you are, and if you're on stock breaks, dont you feel the crunch of your brakes?

and yea i guess this way is ok, tho it really isnt much of a launch lol....

 

walmart?

wasn't me...i'm rollin on stockies right now and my taillights are not blacked out

i don't think Jay's got rims either

it was probably swoosh, he lives in that area and the car description matches his

 

I have rims nigga Rollin on 19's Hitt me up

 

PAZZZ long time no see on the forums!!!! i'm getting my body work redone so we should def do a shoot sometime!

Fulani when you gonna come down to STL again? i never got a chance to see your ride!

 

Yeah I know dude, I have just been extremely busy with so much shit the past few days I haven't had much time to do anything. If the weather continues to stay like this going to see if Tommy wants to do a shoot or something this week.

 

Swoosh is a member on 'Zine, met him at the KC meet.

I dont know when I'll be up in STL again, maybe in the next few weeks or something, in NC right now. My car is pretty bland right now, trying to find some rims for it.

Its cool man, just waitinggggg to see them pics, did you manage to get it polished and waxed at least?

 

knowing Jay? he MOST definitely polished and waxed it that same day, and each day after...

that guy is so anal about his detailing, he saw my car and was like ...dude pay me and i'll make your car "SHINE" ...lol

 

Yeah I managed to clay bar the entire car, polish, wax the car that day, including waxing and polishing the wheels. Looks good.



HAHA you know it, I bought a bunch of detailing shit the other day, so let me know I'll clean your whip up real nice.

i didnt know there were so many TL'ers in st louis...u guys ever have meets or something? id like to see all of ur cars soon if at all possible

 

You know the digits hitt me up fool.

We had a meet a few months ago, will probably have another one this summer. I'll have to talk to Tommy on the second gen side about a meet he is pretty good about organizing one.

 

WOW so borred....this steering hose recall and windshield wiper motor takes a loong time...

and of course my battery dies AT the dealer too with no warranty....damn 04...(yes i double checked personally that my battery was dead - they had to jump my car... O_O)

 

btw 6/22/2008 - for you STL ppl; there's a BBQ sponsored mostly by HACSTL.com - Honda & Acura Community in St. Louis - sign up on their forums to get more of the info. I met most of the core members today, and they're pretty solid, randomly decided to meet today, and had 10 cars easily. - granted most were Hondas ~ but if we ever try another AZ summer meet; they could easily double our numbers, and they're all very down to earth people.

 

^^ i think i mite hit that up so i can get to kno wht type of things go on in st louis..im from atlanta so i dont kno alot of things abt st louis yet..car wise that is.
