Thank...

With the pedals + the gray part of the front lip, or insdide of the grill..the gray part + gray interior + our silver trim inside and stuff....I kind of started to like the color matching
That's why took out the front red trim from the grill

Didn't touch the carpats since 6 years... I usually use the all season ones usually.
I use these at mosttt a month during summers... Boston

That Armorall really gives shiney look to the body...

+ For the RSB... Act told me comes with brackets also but I just received the bushings... Hopefuly old ones are still good...

 

What soap stuff did you use on the carpets?

 

MEKO, I'm not saying this is bad, but you sure post a lot of pictures!

I don't think I've ever posted that many pictures in the 4 years I've been on the site, let alone one thread.....!

 

Like Tyler said, pics > no pics

 

Ohhh sorry... I'll check it and tell you what soap but just a random carpet and seat cleaner from autozone...
I'll check and give exact brand..

Yes lot's of pictures but those pictures are from 6 year.
300 pictures in 6 years...
I kind of slowed down now... only adding pictures that goes in to progress part.
Not too many progress but.. ehh slowly

 

^^^ Dude, no worries! Honest, just an observation-you're all good.

 

Did it seem to clean the carpets pretty good?

 

Ok here's pictures what it did... so you decide

This picture is from the day before cleaning and installing pedals....
See the left side + bottom of foot rest + bottom of gas pedal
They all went away
That white thing on bottom of the gas pedal is salt from the snows...
This happens every year to me
Then I clean it. Well when you think 6 years, then I say it does clean pretty well...





It still not percetly gray but deff. cleaned it.





Let me check it and I'll edit this post and write the brand

It's this

 

It did an excellent job for 6 years of build up.

 

The pedals definitely give the interior a finished look. I also had that crud built up around my accelerator pedal. It's a bitch to get off.....

 

Thanks man!

 

That looks much better

I was kind of busy with school and work.
My dad's cashier is off to vacation and I have be there after 6 everyday and close the pizza store.
Plus 4 days of school everyday from 8am.

Anyway.
Got the wing from ebay. $119
I know most people like the lip but I'm bored of it. Wing stands out way more. We are the only ones that notice the trunk lip.

LEDs I have in the car are from superbrightled.com
yeahh sure superbright... they are good, power of the led's look stock but I wanted more light and ordered Tyler's LED's from ebay.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...ht_3087wt_1163

5 of them. 4 interior, 1 trunk

We got a 50cc mopet to friend. Every student here must have one haha
No plate need since has 30mph limiter and 49cc
1 gallon goes 100 miles haha

Whatelse......

Oh we have the pizza store, beside us there is hair saloon. There was a empty store beside him but know it's a frozen yogurt place.
Forget his yogurt place but he got Audi A7 white one + Greek has Benz C300 sport + dad with white FX.

Front of the store is good now :P

I belive that's all
Waiting on the LED's

After that rear A-Spec..

Oh and got a HTC One S from T-Mobile. New pctures will be better quality from now on. Well I do cary the camera in the car but...not using for random shots. Pictures on top from the new phone.

Here some old pictures.

----

Where I always park in Boston home. Hate street parking. Felling like need to check the car 24/7



Forgot about this. This is what I did to intake air pipe.









Gas!!! I usually go right between the letter E on the gauge. After that it takes like 15gal.
But the most I saw was 15.4XX gal









And reset again







1000000000000000









superbrightleds.com

Natural white 12 LED vs cool white 12 LED



Lip off



101010



Ebay one...

 

Nice updated pics!

 

Some more...

 

Sweet pics man! All you need to really set it off is a new set of rims!

 

Loving the updates Meko....but is this a progress thread or another 3G TL SSM pic thread LoL ...jk I agree with UndyingDreams a nice set of wheels and lowered suspension would really make your car stand out.

PS nice pick up on the mopad I am sure that it has some zing to it as you go to school

 

well done Meko....the progress is coming along great and you have it very very well documented....

first page i was like "this bitch went from 77K miles to 98K miles in 1 post" but then saw "6+ years"

you car is coming along great....look into some springs/used coils and drop her....then get a rear aspec lip (ignore the sides if you are tight on cash).....then plastic dip the stockies and run some spacers....

i think that will LOOK SICK !!!

really like the blue engine cover

 

Thanks Dreams. I am starting to think about susp. and rims but too much money. Only rims I would get is A-Spec ones, gunmetal chrome one. But AckTL05
A-spec rims at $1500 shipped (TL)

Before rims, I got other stuff to finish tho..
And will think about rims when I will replace the tires.

Breaking started to give a little vibrate to steering. I will check when was the last time I resurfaced the rotors but I don't care. I was waiting for a reason to get Breakemotive anyways.

Rotors and Ceramic Pads F&R - $145.00 SHIPPED!
+ 107 is coming up. I am doing some search on it but looks like I will get the parts from Ack and goto NJ Hamilton Honda.

And no way I am replacing the coolent system. It works fine, what the heck...why should I.

ShadowAcura. Whenever I post a picture, this is me
I will disturb Steven Bell and change the title later on

I like to lower it but what I want is A-Spec Susp. Well lowers it a little but...
And cheaper than rims.
AckTL05
A-spec suspension at $665 shipped (Tsx, TL)

Moped is for my friend. My school is 0.5 miles but I still drive. House is on the hill.
My other friend at school has GTI but for summer he is getting 600CC and his gf got 250cc Kawasaki.
These people are pulling me there sooo much but no money.. so no way for bike haha

And the friend I share the hous with has E46 Coupe

Thanks Anil...
loled at the miles haha... exactly 101190 right now

Exactly...lower and keep the stockies for now.

But I don't like p-dip rims. Yesterday someone posted thread, painted his stock rims to gunmetal or something. That I really like.

I want the A-Spec susp. because I don't know if I should go more lower?
Because too much snow here and I do go to skiing a lot. Even in summers we go to Maine, NH or Vermont a lot.

A-Spec will keep my brain relaxed

- Right now I will do service 4.
- Then probably Breakemotive + paint the calipers to dark blue.
- Then Rear A-Spec
- Then A-Spec Susp.

I think gunmetal paint would look good on the rims with ASM. What do you guys think?

I will find out how to paint em or a shop.
If I paint them... deff. getting spacers.

I also haven't replaced the RSB 15mm to 20mm yet.
It's still in the trunk.
Didn't have time but what I'm wondering is the condition of the current brackets.
Act said they send both bushings and brackets but I just received plastic things... which are bushings right?

Anil, I didn't read much about suspension but I was thinking about these once.

http://www.k2motor.com/sd-te-ska52-aub00-a.html

 

^^^ brother, if you go skiing and stuff, i wudnt recommend springs....

i love my coils...am in KS and in the winter it can come down pretty wild for us....so i raise her up 1-1.5" and in the summer drop her lowwww.....so thats why i would recommend coils....

and in all honesty dont spend your money on ASPEC suspension....just get Teins which will last more than the life of the car

 

Try looking on eBay and locally (cragislist) for A-Spec rims.

 

Smart.. true
Thanks Anil!!!

 

Craigslist..

Apec wheel Chrome
235 40 18 on Continental tires
For 1,000 o.b.o

Let me follow this guy, I don't think he could sell them right away.

 

Message him and ask him for just the rims if you want, might be able to get a good deal on your own set or tires or if not, maybe the tires he is selling are still good.

 

WOW aspec rims for 1000 ??? damn i would rather get some used Work/Enkei's with tires in the BM for 1300-1500

 

May be because of the tires. I texted him. Waiting
Chrome is the shiney ones right.. I won't put em on my TL

EDIT: Sells with the tires


Is this guy right?
They look 18X8.5 to me

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-Honda-...#ht_938wt_1396

 

17x7.5 was the TSX's A-Spec wheels I do believe. Most TL A-Specs are 18x8 and if you're really lucky 18x8.5, they're rare.

And yes, chrome would be shiny, like the emblem on the front/back on your car.

 

^^^ i have no idea about aspec rims buddy....maybe Tyler (cltothetl32) can shed some more light on this....

 

This would be more in the price range (these are the A-Specs for the TL)

Austin....why you embed :fuuuuuu:



LOL

 

I hate the way links look on the forum. They bring you right to eBay so calm down.

 

Yeah saw those links..but chrome.
I'll do more search on the rims + BM also
since saving some moneyyyy haha

Called the Hamilton Honda at NJ.
They said

$389 Parts & Labor
Belts, Water pump, Coolent
No spark plugs, nor tensioner.

Called the Herb Chambers Honda, near my dad's pizza store
$700 Parts & Labor
Belts, Water pump, Coolent
+ $100 if tensioner needed
No spark plugs


Not sure on the engine mounts also.

Acura is the cheapest...they said $1800

 

Austin I was messing with you bro lol

meko....go to Hamilton and ask for tensioner as well.....do the spark plugs at home

 

Exactly what I thought Anil

Do they do the valve adjustment on that service? I belive I need it.

Thanks Austin..

 

Lots of pictures in this thread indeed lol

Please do us a favour and consider our bandwidth lol - just pick a select few pictures.

Looking good though!

 

Thanks lol no more many many pictures anyway. Finished all of em. Now pics will come when I do something to it or clean or nice (selected) trip pictures

Will be in Maine in 2 weeks...and Vermont in June

EDIIIIT: I forgot my folder called "Rest"

After paying $18-20K just for the services...he sold it

Idiot looking car...

Frozen yogurt guy's Audi

Hope you guys liked it. Mr.Canada, you too

 

OK, for serive 4...

I will not wait for it. I can't just go adjust valves because I hate that sound. No way I could do it anyhow lol I don't have any tools and time.

I don't know if it harms the engine but still I will get this 107 done right away.

I think I will stick with the Honda in Boston. Not Hamilton in NJ
$200 difference when you take off the gas cost

Plus, this Herb Chamber is BMW Infiniti Mini Porsche Honda... they know my dad from the restaurant. I will try to get discount from them + found 10% discount on their website.

Last good thing we got from them was 4 new tires for MDX for 3 tire price + Free balance and alignment

I am getting 6 of these... NGK Laser Iridium/Spark Plug
Will replace them at home.

Tensioner and engine mounts are 2 suprises.

 

No they will not do the valve adjustment in that service....i think thats another box of worms....

negotiate with the dealer and see what they say

PS: I opened this thread on my phone and 4G FTMFW !!! loaded the page just as fast
