Never been on Newbury for 9 hrs in one day before
Couldn't believe how many hoooot as a lawa ladies that I saw
and out of all, there were 2 that just made me give up.. I was like this is not from earth

Gotta wash my car


Nice song
Maa ringtone

 

as much as I want to enjoy F1, I dont like I used to...

the big V10's are gone....next year twin turbo V6's will be in....which means the Ferrari's and all other super exotic road cars will have a twin turbo V6....

also I think the F1's now look effin ugly... !!!

this is Ferrari in 2005...F2005


this is Ferrari in 2012....F2012



and dont get me started in the rear wing....and for next year the F1 car is going to bear a penis



I miss the old days !!! Schumaker, Kimi, Montana, David Coultart, Alonso and pretty looking boisterous F1 cars...

 

Even though I sit on Sundays watch the race for 5hrs, I don't enjoy it as before too.
I just watch it for knowledge, who does what, when, where, why
AND
How stupid some of them drive

Oldies around 2000, Schumi and rest used to push the cars to the limit.
If you know about F1 you notice it by the corners, by the engine sound.

Now? Sebo takes the lead at first corner. Disappears at the end of the first lap.
And rest doesn't really force the car to pass some other. All they do is use kers or drs to pass

Where are those inch to inch corner passings

Leme see what will happen tomorrow

I agree with you, forget the both wings, body is also ugly.

Old one, that front end



About the turbo... I will love it if it will remind me of Senna
My brains used to those sounds and makes me remember Senna's time, which had amazing races that gives me fun.

I believe in Alonso. He has the same personality of driving car as Sebo does. It's just Ferrari that makes him slow down
Hopefully Maranello having new wind room next year, will give better results on the design we hope.

Having Kimi back next year will also give nice results as well.
Kimi Alonso from Ferrari will force the hell out of Sebo if you ask me

Might be fun next year I am telling you

You were Ferrari fan right

 

hahah yeah Red Bull has a ton of money (dont know how, beats me)....and yeah watching Vettel reminds me of Schumi when he was in peak form...takes lead from first lap and always in the lead....

am not looking forward to V6 TT...hear how the 458 Italia sounds or the F12 or the Aventador and now hear how the Mp4-12C or the GTR sound

and DRS/KERS/traction control/launch control/dick control has made the competition very boring...gone are the days when you have an engine a gearbox and a driver....with all these electronics, the launch at the start line is the same....no driver involvement...yeah I do like traction control, kinda saves lives and avoids slip but not the other electronics...

also with the tires and fuel....now you have to start the race with the same fuel level and tire condition you did qualifying in...seriously !!! this kind of thing completely removes pit strategy from the race....I have NOT seen much drama in the pits either....drivers know they gonna make fucking 4 stops...back in the days 3 was like WTF !!! and some were on 1 stop strategy to further enhance the drama....

i hope the FIA makes some changes else F1 is slowly going to perish away....

 

Being an anti-fan of Turbo overall.... I don't know I still have hope that it will sound good during F1.. I dunno

Gearbox is still kind of tricky on F1, not totally Auto nor totally MT like it used to be before

Hahaha I know right... fawking stupid rules trying to make everything perfect. Leave it to the team idiot, make the smarter one win, why you giving easiness to the knowledge of the pit + driver

 

am not a turbo hater....gotta love something which gives more power....

but companies like Ferrari/Lambo/AMG/BMW M, all of them spend million and millions of dollars on engine development and how to make the most power from an engine, now all that RND is going waste coz of this....

am sure McLaren and BMW will have a head start since they already have twin turbo V6/i6 engines in their sport cars....I just hope the new generation Ferrari and Lamborghini dont sound stupid !!!

 

That I haven't put in to consideration.. hmmmmmm

 

Cars look SICK meeks....

Love the tails, love the headlights and the winter drop....and she is nice and clean too

 

Thanks Anil
I actually say how good the mods/car look after I clean her haha

Yeah I love the drop too, perfect daily
If weekday skiing wasn't involved after work, I could have left it slammed.
When it snows and have to go work, I know I will take the MDX
And on weekend skiing we take FX for New H.

Remember?



By the way I checked the spots Feji told me about rear end. They all look strong, and I mean pretty strong. Not like on the edge on pictures Feji posted to those threads.

May be it was the pavement. Hate the lanes being angled and not straight... even though I design them Rules rules rules

 

remind me to never buy a car used by ya

and turn VSA off when trying to plow through snow

 

My dad wants to trade MDX with the new Porsche Macan
Just wants for now...

Sooo an update,
My check engine light came on, I did open the hood and checked the engine... it's still there, but light is still one. I don't understand, can you guys help?



First of all, I was surprised of myself being so professional on ruining a transmission....but sadly I didn't

Check engine came on saying my front cat isssssssss yuck
I had this code came on with the transmission issue but I just left it alone.

Do you guys know if Type-S has lower CEL or whatever it is... is Type-S cats better as in performance than my base?

Pulled to Acura again, they didn't know the tails. They loved it Jeremy









Jeremy, for you
Snowing on the top, haven't hit the town yet. So beautiful right?

 

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Ugly as hell and makes me happy
I was worried new design was going to look sexy and make me want it

Thanks for the Civic side mirrors and that small window beside them

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...rx_first_look/


Shit!!! Steven's car is fast as hell
Steven why didn't you tell us about the navigation screen moving up and down, that looks nice haha... I was like what the..

 

 

So, you like that little cubby! MEKO, just come on over and take a ride.

 

National Meet oooh yeah

 

It will be there-make your plans now.


It will be the weekend before Father's Day Weekend.

 

So 6th to 8th, noooooooo problem, my schedule is fixed now
No more class

 

^^^ Bring that guy with you too!

 

I'll just leave him as gif there haha

I might bring a friend. One that doesn't bother me driving fast
Can I have the award for best person to ruin a TL

 

What the hell, Type-S cats are that expensive

http://www.oemacuraparts.com/parts-c...gine/converter

RV6 PCD comes to 360 shipped

 

meko....what did the CEL throw a code for?

also yes HFC (high flow cats) flow better than type S which flow better than base...

I dont think your cats are bad...pull the code and let us know

 

Ummm I didn't write it down since he looked it up there
I think it was the same code that came in with the torque converter.

Let me find it on previous pages.
It was the cat too... we just didn't bother with it because of tranny issues those days, remember?

HFC is expensive, but as some says that HFC doesn't give rasp like PCD or SMELLLLL like PCD, if that's true I'll pay for it
I don't know how but.. I don't get it, why would it smell if you tightened it properly

Brother says
After 1:53, sounds just like my TL

 

yup HFC's will definitely tone down the rasp and the smell....I am used to the smell and the rasp LOL....


and isnt your brother legally deaf???


























sorry I was mistaken

 

i have the TL-S cats on my Base TL, picked them up for 220 shipped last year. i chose them over HFPC cause I need to pass sniffer and visual emissions.

sometimes they'll show up in the BM for 200-250 for a pair.

 

I would change the exhaust tone too right?
But I have stock J-pipe... with HFC, I might not get rasp???
But I got no resonator on

Fawk this shit

You have HFC?

 

Thanks Will
I want Type-S cats too. I am not crazy like that guy... what's his name? Anil?
I cant do rasp/smell for a DD

What if the ones from Bruce are like mine too lol
Let me ask him if still for sale

 

I thought the HFC's pass the sniffer as well...also they look just like cats so you will pass visual, not sure of the sniffer....

yes....check out RV6 videos with HFC's and with PCD's and base/type S cats....

as you go low in cell count, the exhaust keeps getting louder and aggressive....also as you keep going lower in cell count you start introducing rasp...

Base is 800 cell count (i think) - quietest, no rasp
Type S is 400 cell count (i think) - quiet, no rasp
HFC is 200 cell count - little loud, no rasp, aggressive
PCD's is 0 cell count - louder, rasp (without resonator), very aggressive

pick yo poison

 

Its hard to distinguish the Base cats and TL-S cats, you just need to trust the source you're getting them from. I got mines from Bruce Owsiak, which is a trusted source.

 

true....meko, also hit up people with RV6 exhaust....most of them will be willing to sell the type s cats for cheaper...

 

He said he sold them... I guess locked thread said that lol
Let me ask it on that FB page, but paying for a HFC instead of used ones for 200 sounds better

 

^^^ wait for a good deal on HFC...

I know Jeremy has procat HFC's and he got them for $200 if I remember right...shit I sold all 3 base cats for $200....

dude can find some killer deals...

 

Wow 200 still good
Who buys used stock parts dammit, I am keep throwing my stuff out to trash

Oh yeah, I will wait, may be Richie might have sale on black friday

what's procat HFC? I thought it was only RV6 that makes PCD..

 

procat is a company which used to make HFC's for our cars....they were having a ton of issues with rattle/etc...if I remember right Jeremy had to fix something on it....

I know he can better answer the "issues" question better

 

Whaaaaaaaaaat Porche 918 has the Nurburgring record in 6:57
I thought it was GTR

Do it once do it right you said. RV6 is the only one I would go with hehe

Found a nice spot but on the way back noticed other parking spots had 2 lines
Guess wasn't a parking spot, plus made another Acura park in the front





Saw this today, almost meko



Feji is here tomorrow and Saturday

 

u didnt know that? man 6:57 is awesome...Nissan GTR was trying to catch them

they are at 7:08

 

No I didn't I thought that new nismo had it with 7:08

I dunno, I am not a Porsche guy, my brother is
I want Carrera4s though. Engine sound on that thing is crazyyyyyy

Watch after 5:10
You hear the Alfa? 156 just like the one we had

 

My eshift procats had loose substrate, but based on the orientation and the way they sit, doesn't bother me...also, the heatshield weld came off and had a hole. I patched it and wrapped in heat wrap and I've been fine.

 

Meko, shoot me a text when you get a chance.

 

I did, why you no text me back


I met Feji today
Glad to talk to him and meet him in person. Pleasure sir
But!!!! He woke up the "S2K devil" that Jeremy injected in to my veins

Should I try to sell the TL and just buy a fawking 9k RPM AP1?
2003, Silver, Red leather, totally stock, 118k miles for $9000
Let's say $8000

Happy with 2003, because they updated so many stuff in 2002 model.
Soo 2003 is a good choice for an AP1

But I am thinking as I am writing and saying to myself it's a perfect car, keep it
Why keep it dammit, sell it, enjoy a true drivers car for a little
If something happens to the car, sell it, it's just an $9k car, and take the FX from dad.

I know I will eventually take the FX. Selling/trading it is the stupidest idea.

Talking about FX, I installed the ski rack today, looks nice











I love this FX, gald to take it but not having the experience of a car like S2K stick shift, just holds me back.
It's like, slow down, enjoy the life and then get married kind of feeling

 

Installed the ski rack for water skiing, right!
