gotta love his car....so simple and yet so sexy....

 

Not sure on white but i might not even do plasti-dip with graphite
Paint the rims..

Graphite looks nice right?

 

Yeah I like the graphite

 

I don't know how I am keep getting 2 lakes inside my trunk



Cleaned the rims and windows














This is after they dryed and I drove the car



Black plastidiped tire is still shiney

 

For the water in the trunk, have you checked the sunroof drains? How about the seal on the tail lights?

Dry the trunk out, pull all the carpet and the spare/tools, and dust it with baby powder. Then close the trunk and spray the car down. You should see where the water is coming from.

 

^^^ I concur with Morgan....

check the drains, usually a leaf or something will clog it up

EDIT: gotta love the plastic dip on the wheel center caps....

 

How is sunroof drain connected to trunk?
Taillight seal, on right side those plastic seals between the body and taillight was out, I tucked it inside.
Still water inside the trunk.
Now I will try baby powder but I don't know where the drains are at.

No leafs Anil I am positive. I clean every inch of the car...well, whatever is visual
Yeah center caps came pretty nice but I am not touching them yet, I haven't ordered the plasti dips yet. I will after I do little bit more search

Smart brother paid $500 for a bike. Idiot
Anyways I saw some $2000 bikes there and all I said was, I will buy one of these after college that's all
You just want to ride it



BMW didn't start one morning. Car starts and after couple seconds it stops. Asked my dad, he said it's prob. fuel pump. It was

There was a friend that went back home and left his car to roommate. We went to get it, car started but after 4 min, it stoped. Opened the hood and boom every kind of problem haha, oil leak, no oil in the engine, sparkplugs are bad blah blah
How dare you leave an Integra like that











Didn't start, so waited Monday to get a fuel pump for 325ci and install it.

Saw this on road...



On Monday evening, we all (family) went to CT, 2 hours to a Turkish Restaurant.
Parents anniversary..







Kebaps



Gyrooo





On Tuesday

First time I traveled with a bus.
You guys know my 2nd best friend, the Audi guy, he is manager of like 150 parkings in Boston.
He has one around the Bus station in Boston too.
So left the car there 5am
and went to NYC with bus.

I love that first shot but if the car needs low low low
Oooh while entering to the park, I scrape the A-Spec...first time
I even took it side ways and slow as beep but that entrance was the worst I've seen.

Anyways went to NYC to get my passport. Extended it







Today, dad took his friends truck to go to NYC JFK Airport with mom, to pick-up uncle.
They are coming to visit for 10 days..
This car is real comfort... makes you want to go to a long trip









And look what came







Front and Rear Sway bar links
Will also get the bushings for both front and rear from Autozone
Will swap the rear sway bar to 20mm, I have it since I don't know when but didn't install it.

About to order Redline transmission fluid... total of 9 quarts
I was waiting my credit card to pass to next month hehe

That's all for now

And this baby kills me

GREAT Update Meko....

and at the "basaaarrr"

and shut up and stick with the TL....

ohh an btw Happy Belated Anniversary to ya Parents

 

huge props for shiny exhaust tips =)

They appear shinier than mine - what did you use?

Ride's looking good.

 

TL for laaayf



Thanks Anil and guitar player!!!

I never let them stay black or let it try, that's the key. Since 6 years.
I cleaned them even when just the bottom tip got black.

I used foam invisible glass cleaner. Shines the hell out of it. Spray, let the foam clean it and wipe it.
But of course won't work if you let the tips black for years like I did to moms MDX lol
Then I used the barkeepersfriend, turned them to first day.
Pictures are somewhere in here.

That's what barkeepersfriend is for, not daily or weekley cleaning.





Invisible glass has amonia... not good for tinted windows

 

No it doesnt...

 

I thought the same but then the guy that came to replace my windshield said it does and said best one is this one.

I didn't search though
When it said free amonia on it and invisible glass doesn't I thought he was right

 

Damnit, it better not. My windows are tinted and I just bought a big ass can of Invisible Glass.

 

Look at the label on Invisible Glass. It says tint safe on it. I think it may even say no amonia, but Im not sure.

EDIT : https://www.detailedimage.com/Stoner...P115/19-oz-S1/

 

You used Stoner's Invisible Glass on your exhaust tips? I gotta try that.

Also, Invisible Glass doesn't contain ammonia.
I even asked my tinter when he was recommending products to clean the window and he said Invisible Glass is a great product that's safe on tint.

 

^ Yeah
That foam cleans everything

 

fark u guys....am not using a glass cleaner on my exhaust....

for the exhaust I use chemical guys grime reaper....this cleans the shizzz out of the tips....

http://www.detailedimage.com/Chemica...P180/16-oz-S1/

 

I just wash them every week since new. Still looking fresh

 

Yeah wash and dry often keeps clean but Anil what does that chemical guys spray do? Doesn't let the tips turn black?

 

Cool thread congrats on living life

 

Meko, the grime reaper is a degreaser....once you clean the tips up with bar keepers it helps you keep em clean....all you do it spray it on and wash it off....it will keep your tips shiny

 

It's always so hard to keep them this shiny:


My tips are always "polished" and clean, but it's just not that bright anymore.

I'll try the invisible glass today!
I searched it up on google and some other people use it too.

Huge props for the tip.

 

I got you Anil.. I might give it a try during winter..

guitarplater, does the inside of the tips get black all the time? I was heading that road with the barkepersfriend but than I stoped, didn't want to deal with it all the time.
Give us update after you try it..

You guys know I was doing internship during spring semester.
Classes during summer and now another intern during fall.
Civil engineering

I wanted to do my intern at the same place again
Talked to president, he said he wasn't going to hire anyone for intern this fall but if I wan't I could do mine there hahaaa
He also raised hourly wage to $16 from $15.

I knew it though, because his las words was, consider us after you graduate. Kind of did good job there on my last intern...

Will start Sept. 3rd.
Time to complete the A-Spec
Get some tint too

 

Congrats!

 

Raised? Sounds like he took away $1 an hour.

Unless you mean you went from $15 to $16...

Congrats though, sounds like you're doing well

 

Looks like a raise to me

 

whoops

I swap words around in my head sometimes.

 

haha thanks guys

Edit: oh yeah Redline D4 and F shipped. Lightweight will ship at 8/20

 

The insides of my exhaust tips are NEVER black. Always polished.

The whole exhaust tips gets dull looking after time; not shiny.
If I hit it up with bar keepers friend though, it will be as shiny as my picture above. I guess I'm just lazy to keep it really shiny polished.

Civil engineering is great!

I'm in mechanical engineering =)

 

Austin pass me da dubbie....

Meko, congrats mangggg !!! <add indian accent>where is the party yaar<end indian accent>

 

I got it...
Being lazy is the reason for spray invisible glass and wipe haha

ahhhh mechanical.. everyone though I was going to take that road..
but nope

Edit: hahaha thanks dude yaar hahahaha
reminding my best prof.

 

Triple

 

Meko your car is coming along great man....looks beautiful

 

Thanks Anil...

Dads mechanic friend will be back Sept 10, will do the links, bushings, bar, 1st drain fill redline.
Still haven't received the fluids and F will be shipped today.
I will also check the oxygen sensor. I don't know if should I replace 4 of them or not.
$450 total dude
@ Tim..

Trying to put another 100k to TL haha

I will visit a muffler shop to straigt pipe the rear 2 muffles on my Stage II exhaust
Not sure what will come up but...

I'll take pictures of cat and j-pipe blah blah, I am wondering how it looks after 100k in Boston

I will tell him to extend the tips 2 inch also, then will order the rear A-Spec, so I finish it before intern starts...

There is not much info on swaping to 6MT. Can it happen do you know?
Excelerate does it as I read..

For front... I think I will stop for now. I looked pictures of cleared orange diffuser wit ASM... everything looks silver
Don't like it.
If I go black headlights, might come out better but I won't do it after these new osram bulbs.. now I am fan of brighter ligts haha. Only ZKW-R lens...maybeee since I don't want to open-up the headlights.
^ probably when I have nothing else to do

Not update on rims (dip, paint) $ suspension..

Will take-off tomorrow again.
To Niagara falls 3rd time wuhuu
Nothing much to do there but never took my uncle and his family there before

Just one night, 2 cars.
MDX for sure
but not sure if I will take TL or FX

 

no need to replace the O2 sensors....any CEL's?
exhaust is a trial and error....so try it....if you dont like it, put the muffler back on
6MT swap is not worth it....better idea is to buy a 6MT and transfer all your mods over....

and take the TL

 

That's what I thought too on 6MT..
and when nothing is wrong with the tranny right now, shut up and drive

No CEL
Last time I checked this was the only code



But FX has 32gb usb filled with songs
Yeaah TL prob. I want to try the MPG again, and since I will follow dad which only goes with 74.5 mph... no problem haha

 

^^^ so you still have that code?

 

Hmm.. it might've gone huh?
I'll check, I am not sure

 

how many codes do you have

 

many haha
I don't know what it is
That's the only one
Hope there won't be any suprises
