opboarding

They finally did! Check out page 6 of my build thread for a few phone pics. Going to try to get my friend with the real camera to take some real pictures soon.

Trying to sit pretty this morning:

Trentimus

i like how you two DOMINATE every thread.

its like your threads continue throughout each other.

spdandpwr

we elicit participation by being active

spdandpwr

Lol, my build thread is the second most viewed thread on the sub-forum

its good to see thought provoking and innovative mods/discussions tho.
thats why I love the ILX and the 2nd gen TSX section so much!

the third generation TL section is full of babies who want everything handed to them.
Keep it up, fellas!

Trentimus

I can't even read what you say the times you do pop in.. that avatar completely distracts me lol...

P.S. Speed is kind of a baby.

spdandpwr

definitely a baby here. But, I do what I can to help and I'm sticking with the car, until next year's tax return...hahahaa forever a waffler.

Trentimus

Haha, only teasing. Hopefully you end up feeling attached to your car enough to keep it.. I think the ILX will eventually get past it's black cloud. It's not as popular to bash it anymore and once people get over the idea of the Civic platform (drop their inner snob) it will do better... I THINK. Anyways.. If you invest more MONIES in it, you'll be less likely to give it back

spdandpwr

I don't want to give it back, lol...I'm just teasing my inability to stay with a platform. I switch cars too often.

usdmJON

I'm pretty content with the car. I got a great price and it grows on me more and more every day.
I love how few tuners there are and how I haven't heard one person share my ideas for the car.
I love that we got them in the first generation and though they will only get better with time; there is something about owning the first gen that means something to some people.

Having a serious moral dilemma tonight. The neighbor next door is in his mid 50s. He is a widowed man that has spent tons of time in his garage restoring an old nova. Man has a garage full of tools... expensive tools.

I came home from the gym tonight and his garage door was left open. I can't get ahold of the man for nothing. He disconnected his door bell, only has a cell phone and it's not listed. I talk to the guy out in the yard, but never enough to exchange numbers.

I feel bad, because I know there are some punks down the road that would take advantage of the opportunity and steal his welder and air tools.... grr, setting out lookout with all the flood lights on the neighbors house.

spdandpwr

do the right thing, you'll feel good about it. Is there any way you can at least push his garage door down. Like press the switch for the door and run out before the sensors catch you?

opboarding

His doorbell is disconnected but you could always knock if you know he's home. I know you posted this last night so its probably too late now, but I'm sure he wouldn't mind being woken up for something like this.

Switt23

yea I knocked on the door pretty hard last night but he didn't answer. I know he was home, but probably out cold.

I did like trent said and pushed the button and hopped out.

Trentimus

You're a good man!

Oh LAWD.. now Speed and I are being confused.

opboarding

You and speed are pretty much the same person in my mind too.

spdandpwr

I mean we both embody perfection so it's easy to confuse us

Trentimus

LOL :gheyfight:

So, it's like threads and threads full of a person's conscious talking to itself

spdandpwr

new avatar is up...what ya'll thank?

Trentimus

Puzzled by you saying y'all, I thought there was no possible way anyone on your side of the US would say that.

But, it looks good.

00TL-P3.2

Looks good!

spdandpwr

its the internetz...we can haz our cake and eat it too...

in all seriousness, what's going on guys...any weekend plans? Happy Friday!

00TL-P3.2

Headed out of town to finally get the timing belt & a little other work done on my TL.

spdandpwr

nice! speaking of car work, I'm at 5600 miles after my first oil change and my car still says I have 50% oil life left...I don't believe that.

Trentimus

I'd go by the iMID or 7,000 which ever comes first * personally.

spdandpwr

Nice, I can go to 12k without an oil change. Sounds good to me...a penny saved is a penny earned.

00TL-P3.2

Yeah, my dad & I attempted to do it about a month ago & got stuck at the crank pulley bolt.
He broke one of his tech's 3/4" impact trying to break it loose. Tried 2 3' breaker bars with no luck either.

He's got a friend that has a shop & is going to knock it out for us tomorrow morning.

spdandpwr

that's crazy tight...the torque setting must've been like 400lbft

00TL-P3.2

We worked on it for a while & tried everything we could think of with no luck.

Switt23

:sigh:... haha.

I just take mine to the dealer once the car says it want's the oil changed. Seems like twice a year is all it's going to be.

On a different note, I got paid again today from my new job. I got all excited and had to show my wife how pretty my bank account was looking. Had to control myself and be responsible though. Paid off all my credit cards and the remainder of bills for the month and still have a good portion left over (Good Portion = $600). Makes me sad but excited at the same time.

This weekend I get to go back to work, but i'm going to have my wife drop me off on Sunday. They keep talking heavy storms for the central plains and I don't want to take a chance of my car being left in the parking lot with hail.

spdandpwr

What do you guys think of GE's new campaign:


I'll leave my comments / opinion for when people view it.

spdandpwr

So the 2014 ilx is up on Acura's site and....omg, who is going to pay 2300 more just to get an ilx with a rear camera, hids, fogs, and auto-dimming mirror? Acura's crazy.

Trentimus

They made it more competitive with the base model but why even keep the premium? should of made that a 2.4L trim (as it already is) then made the Tech the next step up for the ILX from base.. or something else more logical.

and with the RLX they're not going to do so well.

the MDX is their bread and butter.
as long as the MDX is selling, acura has time to fix this stupid shit!!

Trentimus

That GE commercial is a little late to the Matrix bandwagon.

spdandpwr

I don't think that commercial is appropriate...lol, the machines represent soulless entities that enslave humans

Trentimus

Just bought a GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition.. going to post up videos tonight and see how it translates the drive.
