Even handling sucks.
You know what, it all started with the coils. Wish I bought A-Spec suspensions or didn't lower the car.
I might need axles

What I really want to do but can't because of the cold is cleaning the car, detailing it, same with engine, IM, TB and

Is this the new TL?
Where the hell is the shift knob
Looks like RL but RL has a shift knob



Oh it is RL
May a different model I guess, hybrid or some bs with no shift knob




Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could hear the noise on the video
After 0:26 listen, I make 3 turn and it appears on all of them
Uploading

That sound comes while turning both sides
and today I guess because it was too cold at night, it occurred on highway too, while speeding up in straight line
Axle?

That looks awesome! I like your classy wooden shift knob as well.

What happened to your car/coils that killed the handling / made it even potentially dangerous??

Thanks man!!
Not many people like it I think but I love it
I think it pulls more attention then in a wooden trim TL, and that's why it looks nice

Where it comes from..



First time I lowered the car, well, installed the coils and slammed the car, it handled great.
After I higher the threads for winter... it started
Front end feels too loose, not a tough feeling

After that went to 225 tires too, narrower and increased the tramlining....although tramlining usually increases when you go wider

Since I went down and up, I guess it messes up my axles, not sure though but I don't trust them after 7yrs of Boston winter
Salt is the first thing that kills them here, plus great smooth pavements on Boston roads

Can't tell, need more pictures

Probably axle, CV joint, more than likely, but nobody JUST fixes that anymore.
Yeah, no way...single DIN all day for the S2000 head unit, man...I just want to play my own music!

I don't know, when you said head unit, I thought of the big ones.
Does that Philips has USB input?
The USB module I added to TL is one of the best things I did

Better to get axle.

I am going to lower the car, depending on the shop tomorrow.
F winter mode
Then alignment + forced balance at the best place around here. No more Acura for alignment.
Will also tell them to inspect the boot if there is any grease from the CV joint. If not, continue driving, if there is, replace axle
Replacing axle doesn't require re-alignment... soo I'll be good

Next thing is that 24mm sway bar for rear. I think that's what my handling is begging for. Plus a drop of course.

I am positive I will not slam the car but just lower it 3-4 threads may be. Close the gap
I can't slam it, 225s made the car way lower than I've expected

Couldn't lower the car today anyway, haven't even done the PB blaster. Rain rain rain
White lithium grease from Lucas? I think I saw it in garage, dad bought it for doors.

What's PS fluid?
Pinion is the reason of a loose steering right? Mine is pretty loose Hate it while going in and out from the lanes

That car is the new upcoming RLX Sport-Hybrid SH-AWD.

377HP 377TQ (highest HP/TQ in a production honda!)
7spd DCT (hondas first DCT in a production car!)
3 electric motors (also a first for honda)
28 mpg city, 31 mpg hwy

There's no shift knob because to select a gear you press a button. Look at the picture and you will see different shaped buttons next to the cup holder. It's to the left of the cup holder.. P R N D and what appears to be "SPORT" rectangular button.

Checked it out on acura.com
That much torque and hp really amazed me

They can't sell this car like they sell the MDX, especially right now in Boston but great car if you ask me
At the end though, you say I'll go with German for that price though

Which is why I stay away from extra wiring
Only aftermarket wires I have on the car is, tapping the fogs to parking bulbs + independent fog switch

Noo, bad pics This camera stuff is really addicting, you want better res as time goes on, or as I see some pictures taken by whooo knows whoooo around here haha

To be honest Steven, yes I wanted snow so bad but since couple days, I am not even mad that it's warm

MPG went up, car still looks clean, it even rained today and still shining, car stopped begging me to drive it and etc

Trails could have the snow so I could go to skiing but not in town

So far I am not happy with this winter.
Wouldn't mind snow but it doesn't worth it... if it's friggen below 20F next day and can't go skiing, I don't want it.

It snows, next day it gets warm like 33F and perfect for skiing. That's how it used to be Mother Nature!!!

Closest ski are that I go to is closed now
Wait for me NH.. Saturday

To be honest...your eye and whatever you're doing to touch up is looking as good as anything else I'm seeing online these days, DSLR or not.

Okay, well, then you had TWO FKN wiring jobs to do right and you still do it ghetto style.

Now you went too far the other way...
Imagine having an entire thought you had to share, and every time, as you were writing it down for others to read, you wrote it as you were thinking it...
then,
at about 68% of the thought, just wrap it up without paying attention to vowels, punctuation or even correct use of the English language to jump as quickly as possible to the next thought.

Meko's paragraphs are literal documentations of this fleeting thoughts...he writes like he's afraid his thoughts will disappear, never to be found again.

Must
Get
it
all
out
rapidly!

If you go type S bumper, the openings will be too big for the atlp base opening. That was a tough decision I had to make too, so I feel you. I was so tempted to go with the type s opening and do a quad tip but I was too sad getting rid of one of the first features that made me fall in love with the car, the exhaust tips in the perfectly cut out opening.
Sorry to hear it and I'm happy you're okay.
