No.. Everytime I go to Firestone to get them to check on it they say that they are too busy and I have to leave my car there.. The last time they were just downright rude. I am sick of dealing with them but since the tires are all under warranty I really don't have a choice. I am probably going to try a different location further from the house and hope for better luck.
Thank god I have my little 12v air compressor.. it has been a life saver!

 

No; did not know about it. You? I've been on that site before, but not often.

I hate having to deal with businesses like that. You would do better finding a another firestone that will honor the warranty. They are all over the place.

I had to drop one of my wheels off today at a shop in Va. The clearcoat was peeling, so they have to sand and repaint.....rolling on a donut!

 

Anyone coming up for skyline drive in May? Just wanted to give you guys a heads up if you guys haven't checked it out.

 

I asked everyone about the East Coast Honda Meet (Richmond) back on 1/24 and got minimal to no response.

 

damn i forgot all about it.

 

They got pics on this thread:

There is a Black 3G TL on here with black wheels.....anyone know this person? I wish I would have known about it before, looks like it went VERY well.

 

Just a heads up to the local guys i might be parting the acura out so if any body wants somthing off my car u will get first dibs.

 

^how come? goin a different route?

 

I might be interested in the ATLP catback if this search for the CT falls thru. How much you looking to let the exhaust go for??

 

DUNNO YET I WILL POST WHEN WE FIGURE OUT WHAT WE ARE DOING

NEW BABY REQUIRES ALOT OF SHIT TO BE CARRIED AROUND WITH IT AND THE ACURA IS NOT AS ACCOMODATING AS SHE WOULD LIKE IT TO BE. SHE IS LEANING TOWARDS A TOYOTA 4 RUNNER, YA KNOW THE MESSED UP THING SHE JUST GOT THE TITLE FOR THE CAR LAST WEEK... ...WOMAN

 

Sorry to hear that. No matter what, you can still hang with us.

 

I did not know anything about it either.

 

Has anyone done the grounding kit upgrade.

 

I did a grounding kit upgrade, but I made my own...I didn't buy a kit. I just bought some 4 gauge wire and some terminals and made my own kit.

 

The TL is a family car...you can fit quite a bit of stuff in the TL trunk if there's nothing in there.

 

Yes well with todays car seats Sara has to to sit with her seat almost all the way forward and she has a thing about air bags from a previous accident.
The stroller that she had to have wont fit in the trunk (FYI Chico Brand).
I am going to try and see if it will fit when its not raining later this week.
Yep the whole situation sucks, but at the end of the day its her car and what ever makes her happy makes my life easier...

 

How many wires does it take? Did you use 1/0 or 2 AWG? regular or gold terminals? Was there any felt difference?

 

I enjoyed myself the last time I went, but I have to see if I am off of work that day.

 

I plan on going to this but I have to wait and see to make sure my work schedule does not change.
