No love for MDX

because dad is thinking to trade it with the new MDX, but I am trying to make him give FX to mom
and trade the MDX with a white Audi allroad

He was turning his head towards a white Porsche Cayenne but took a step back after seeing the numbers on maintenance and insurance blah blah

So goal is to make him get allroad

Edit: Thanks to flickr, pictures are messed up
Steven Bell can you update the title to Meko's Progress Thread... (Update on Page 56)

 

Nice job man

 

Good pics, MEKO!


You haven't converted your Dad to Acura yet?

 

Thanks bro

He retired from Acura

He is the only person that I don't have to convert to Acura, he knows Acura is the only reliable car in US
He always make other people buy a TSX haha
It's a great car to him...size design power MPG reliability

My dad doesn't always explain his history about cars but he always have little sentences for the good ones

Peugeot 405, handles like on a rail
Alfa 156, engine sound of that twin spark engine is like a marriage, can't leave it
3G TL, best of the era as in design, quality, power

He loves the TL, that's why he couldn't sell it in 07
He used this car from 06 to 07 and then bought a E320

RL was the perfect car to him, not too much head turner, rare, and full of features + he never had to use brake.... that sh-awd
He sold it because Acura couldn't fix the damn problem the car had

So can't pull him to another RL anymore haha + too much money for that car

His project car was w123, I was like 4-6 years old when he had the car...
It was left from my grandpa after he passed away

He did everything to that Benz
He even had 2nd orginal interior console from German
I still remember seeing the extra steering, front dashboard and parts laying inside the storage
Turned seats in to brown leather, did power windows and many other stuff

He...well, we love Audi but since all of them have problem in US, he stays away from them

When he had Alfa 156 in Istanbul before 2001(before we moved here) his partner had a red A4 b5 1.8T MT (where my Audi love started)

They used the car for winter to go skiing. I still remember the fun they had driving that car on snow with snow tires that had marble things on whole of the tire.

Oh...the E320 he had...he calls it the king, to be honest I call it the best car ever.
They way that thing drives is just perfect
That goes for w211 !!!

After that, with w212, no more that feeling of driving a Benz
His friend bought a black one here... I drove it and
I was in DC for a business trip with dad, rented a new E class...w212
I drove it the whole time and noooooo way no way near old ones
Feels like C class

Steven why you make me start talking about cars I can't stop

 

Awesome update, Meeks...
Keep the wing, man...if you love it, that's all that matters! I know the drill, I did it for 4 years!

PS...wtf is flickr doing? It's lowering the quality of the shots!

 

Thanks J.

I don't know bro
stupid flicker making my bad shots look bad...er

 

What happens when I don't drive the car for 2 days Still clean
First time in a looong time that I didn't drive the TL more than one day

Thanks not many people sit in my car and seats other than the driver side looks great in shape







FU flickr... photobucket

 

It's been 15 days since I've driven my TL.

 

15....
I can't do that haha and hope don't have to

What's up? Still at the dealer? Good news bad news?

 

Haven't even gotten it looked at yet. We got an extended warranty right before it happened, thank God, but can't make a claim on the warranty for 30 days so it still has I can't take it to a shop for another 2 weeks.

I'm going to order the sensors that Anil showed me so hopefully I can get those in by the weekend and see if that was the issue.

 

Still..haven't..ordered...them...

 

Tell me about it.

I went to Autozone yesterday to see if they'd have the sensors and they did, but wanted $107 each for them. They're only $30 online.

 

Idiots

Where you ordering them from? Bruce? AckTL04 or 05 I forgot
yes yes 05

 

I'll probably get them from OEMAcuraparts. Hopefully I'll be able to overnight them and get them sooner than later.

 

Order from Bruce!
Meko, you're good with a camera, quite a macro lens.

 

u need to come clean my car!

 

Nah son, it's teal wheels with black interior! I could do black seats with matching teal stitching though

u need huked on fonics

 

Already a subscribed member

 

oemacuraprts Ross said is from Bruce.. no?
I luv macro shots, and amazing how a cellphone takes nice shots hehe
Ordered the best cybershot, waiting for it

On the way



seats with matching teal stitching

if you bust my door down like that.............................................. ............ id give you a hug

 

Best friend vs friends deal huh?
haha



Why are you guys so away

 

That pretty much sums it up!

 

Meko, the car looks SEXY !!! the interior shots are a class apart !!! Loving it....and eager waiting to see the future list....lets start with the pink paint

 

PINK!!

 

^^^ why? I heard it adds 49WHP and 88WTQ....all down low

 

OEMAcuraparts is Tim, a LONG time (like from early 2000s) vendor to the Acura world.
The dealer is in Peoria, Arizona.

I'm not exactly sure what dealer Bruce works for, or even if he works for one.

 

Look who is back


What's up bro, how was your time off?
Cleaning the interior made me realize how much I love this car again
It's just perfect dude, screw other cars, especially after learning that Bruce could do the 6MT swap, no more thinking about other cars.

That's my next big mod...after pink of course haha

You no like pink zachhh

Yeah, plus I need like 290 tires to put that power down

Ahhh, yes that's right, forgot Tim
But I always order from Bruce
Give him the part numbers, and paypal e-mail
Done

He works at a Acura dealer in NJ as I know

and I am dead serious about MT swap, was sooooooo happy after learning he could the the swap

 

 

I have no guts to pull off pink on my car like Jeff though haha
But all I want is that MT swap right now














Shots I luveeed lately, let me show them on this page too

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I fixed the problem with flickr hahaaaaaaaa
Do you guys see any problem with the pictures?

 

Meko....your shots have been getting better and better....since you take a lot of pix, I highly recommend switching up to a DSLR....you will be very very popular....

Thank you sir...Time off was great....had a lot of fun with the wifey....she had never seen Vegas before so she was in awe all the full time we were there

depending on how much the MT swap costs you, look into a Type S 6mt and transfer your mods (suspension, end links, progress rear sway bar, intake, etc) and sell the base...I think that will be a wiser decision...it will be a little more $$$ in the end but you will get a power bump from 210whp to 250whp in the transit as well....just food for thought

Bruce is a great guy and I have dealt with him before....because of the traveling he has been patiently waiting on valve covers from me....when I get home on 26th, some major updates will be coming up by 4th July

 

Can't be a pussy all your life.


Car looks good bro.

 

Hold it.....are we still on page 56?

 

Damn right, but I don't have extra couple sets sitting on the side haha

Thanks Jeff..

That sounds great. Glad she loved it and had fun. I know wifey comes first bro

"Manual ecu/ecu to engine harness/engine harness/shifter cables/clutch and brake pedals/Trans/shifter box/clutch master calendar 1800 firm. It's a lot of parts and I have them all. Clutch I recommend buying new..I may have a flywheel resurfaced for $300, new they're $550."

Said Bruce on FB, well... at most $4k

Buying a Type-S doesn't sound smart to me dude.
No matter what, I will owe money to a new car, and doesn't really worth it.

http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=3

And I am going to have a used car.
Reason I love mine is because bought brand new (biggest reason I want to keep it to the end)

And swapping all those stuff and trying to sell the UA6, too much time.

I know my car at least, done everything to it. Only thing that scares me is tranny and we got Bruce to swap, so no problem

Putting 4k more on a car that I am planing to hold is not too much I guess.
Changed my mind about a new car after starting to my job as well...
Not getting an Audi after I graduate on August. Will save money, and finish off this car with rims/exhaust/MT swap

I'll prob get married after a year and have plenty of money by then...

Just received a camera today
I act like a fool but I actually do know a little about cameras

Used canon, nikon, kodak as in cybershot, but nothing takes a picture like G lens and Exmor R of sony cybershot

I mean shots like...quick ones, not taking too much time

I am positive and know this hx10v takes better shots than a basic cheap DSLR with the lens it comes with

So I rather put 1K and buy a better DSLR + Lens

but, since can't take that road right now, and I wanted a small qucik/ready camera, I bought Sony hx10v for $250

So, DSLR will come later on, and will play big
Do it once do it right
Me first practice with this cybershot, it has pretty much features, will see

Some pictures I just took at home
No CS6 used



16x zoom here




16x again



Didn't lover any numbers, too bright
Was at Auto













Some more with cellphone from today

 

Where the fk is this flickr fix, you azzlicker!?!?!?

 

Nice work MEKO.....as with me, keep practicing!
