Winter time I used to warm up the engine but not now during nice weathers.
Or wait until RPM drops below 1K
Not even a mile, that sound goes away... which also I don't push the car until engine warms up while driving
So won't be an issue I guess
Untill 100k everything was done at Acura about tranny
at 100K I've replaced 3rd and 4th switches and did 3 times Redline
You know, D+F+Lightweight
after 6 months of driving 17K
I did one more Redline drain fill
That's all
+ replaced the filter while doing the last drain and fill
Aldo it's made in Japan
Some are USA tranny you know that..
-----------------------------------
Brakes,
I am guessing it's the pads then...
I am ok with the rotars so far
but will see in a long run.
Some member just came and said rotars are wrapped after 6 months
My stock rotars had like 75k on them...resurfaced 1 or 2 times

before Jeremy gets in here with his grammar nazi rifle...its rotors 
yeah members have been having warping/vibrations/etc with the BM set...not sure if its faulty installation or just how these rotors/pads are...there is no point resurfacing these rotors since they are sooo cheap...might as well buy new ones....guess am not going to go the cheap route when its times for brakes....I got 100K off my powerslot slotted rotors and 50K miles on the front pads and would have gotten 100K miles on the rear pads and all of this for less than $500 (including a new front pad set)....
About the transmission, when you did the drain and refill did you used the same 3 in 1 juice? coz I have had straight redline Type F in my transmission and its been doing great
(done a total of 5x3 with Type F soo far)
Damn it I was thinking Turkish, Rotar is in Turkish
Yeah, I'll just buy new ones instead of resurfacing but you as a person that does everything to his car should get something better.
Like the ones on XLR8 website
$400 or something for the set
$1000 one if you could...
Installation and bedding might be an issue but I know I did a nice job on both..
Last drain and fill? Of course
D/F/Lightweight again...always

XLR8 actually reached out to me...I want the RB 2 piece front rotors since they are 6lbs lighter, EACH !!! He said that some 
company is making new rotors and he would like me to test fit them....I will get the rotors for a discount (I was hoping for free LOL)....kinda like how John (ebelp) did for the suspension....
Lets hope we can get this done quicker...i need new rotors LOL

I'm excited to see what those 5 spokes look like on the TL I can't find one, I would try to use it but we know the results...
Will find a shop that could paint the whole thing

nice, well, get it all prepped for them, the price would likely be a lot less that way.
Really? I had a spray can of honda silver that duplicolor made for my fiancee's accord.

Yeah...will do one more touch-up today and sand it again...then ready to paint.
I want to at least to try the can spray but no duplicolor doesn't make it anymore for ASM
That's what I remmeber, will check again today

Went to see poorman today, he wa going to give me the paint, if I found out a shop that could paint only that part of the bumper but I couldn't
So in this case, I will leave the car to paperboy on Monday to get whole thing painted.. (not the A-Spec)
What? He wasn't joking about coils? Those are his pictures?
hahaha ok I only saw it 3 times, but Astons are soo many
If that Porsche was the Turbo one....ohhhh myyyy Godddd 
I found 2 set of tires inside the basement of dads restaurant
Y U NO tell me, I forgot about those
Both Michelin
245/45/17
Could use those on stockies
255/55/18
I think from his old Benz
I play with it everyday and it becomes much much better
Now it's done. Smooth and perfect straight

Oh shit, the name
Alpine and I ski since 9 years old 
Edit: Ohhhhhhhhh
after having a conversation with brother
Three of the tires are winter tires for Benz, because one was flat before we sold the car
One of themis for the MDX, they gave us a extra for free
Other 4 suppose to be for RL
I have to take out all of them and check
