Got a call
Paying just like Faruk told me to. Just the labor and a rebuilt (refurbed) tranny with 3 years and 36k miles warranty will be installed

and friend said my radiator is leaking. Not too much but a little...
they will replace that too since they are in there

Comes to $1600 something

Buys $1000 coils, $1000 camera body, $1500 wheels, $2200 camera lens...

...freaks out about a $1600 part that would prevent the car from being driveable.

Oh yeah, your coils were $20 than what I said and the wheels $140 less. Eat a dick, sloth.

Maybe you should be saving for something like that to happen instead of blowing all of your money elsewhere.

Meeks....when you port the TB, the butterfly inside has to be changed to a bigger one....so, if you go from 68mm to 72mm, the butterfly has to be swapped out...its not something that any shop will do....

I got my old one done at maxbore....great service....but he bumped up he prices....I spoke to 'George' there and got a coupon code for 15 members on here and they got it done as well....his price is a lot more $$$ now...

So you can either go with Maxbore or King....I have heard great things about King....

and no you cant drive without manifold

but when you car is with Acura getting a rebuilt tranny, yank that shit out and send it to king....will minimize your downtime

Oookkay, nothing I would be able to play with
I'll just leave it alone but let me ask to friend that takes care of the TL about the manifold. He knows places, he could even do it for me..
That Asian with Subie and Evo

What about that idea of getting the TL fixed, buying that MT SSM from NY, swapping parts over, selling this one ?

After new radiator and gears? Letting a car bought brand new will be impossible. Father factor will hold me
I don't know totally depends on what I find. Cheap one? Hmmm
NY one is gone I think. Can't find it

Wow, congrats, Meko...glad you'll be back on the road with a 3 year piece of mind (these people that are giving you that warranty truly don't know how you drive. I personally wouldn't give you a 300 mile warranty on it after seeing you in the Camaro). That's great, man...

Not even 10miles?


Be quiet, hope no one from service knows about my thread

You know what I want addition to TL
My dream MT car
E39 with classic 4 spoke steering and wooden knob



But RWD with MT would kill me though
Faruk you should've seen me on Storrow drive how I was sliding the TL bro
After that tranny went bad but... worth it
Hard to get oversteer with this car but... it happens
