BTW Matt are we going to have a Acurazine national meet wedding.

 

^^^ wish you the same brother....hope you are having an awesome holiday season...

 

Thanks Fellas


Yes, at Hooters

 

He finally did the right thing

 

Congrats again, Matt....Hmmm-Mrs. McCollins....how does that sound?

 

You got the right idea. I'll bring Josh so we can make bets

 

Yes I am as a matter of fact. I have been on Vacation since the 18th. Will be back to work on the 1/2/2014.

 

^^^ lucky bastid....

i am back to work already

 

First post of 2014, woooooo

How is snow mode for everybody? Thankfully we haven't really got hit hard, however I've still seen enough cars sliding around to be reminded that people suck at driving -_-.

 

Surprisingly the TL-S handled a lot better in the snow and ice than my 06 Base. Although this was a different snow than last year's, I didn't have to use the snow shovel to get unstuck.

 

So what do you guys think about the new TLX? I am a little bummed about it but might change my mind once I see it in person.

 

i think I like it....

its wayyyy better looking than the 4G TL (no offense to anyone who owns it)....

the things which are ticking me off are:

1> 3.5 V6 - why not 3.7 (might be a Type S model in the future?)
2> no MT option (this might be added in the future?)...either way the Dual Clutch option does sound good....
3> 9 speed auto transmission on the V6 models and 8 speed auto on the i4 model....seriously !!! 9 fucking gears....so when downshifting, you will never be in the right gear !!!

 

Looks vise yeah it is better than 4G but the things you mentioned are mostly the samething that I am not impressed by. Looking at Lexus and Infiniti's new line up, I feel like Acura is taking a step back but that is just my opinion.

If I am looking to buy a new car in future, I will probably prefer IS350 over the V6TLX.

 

well I think the new Lexus looks ugly as well with the stupid grille...

I agree on the Infiniti's...I think they look awesome....cant forget the Mercedes CLA....i think MB nailed it with that model....the BMW 3/4 series is awesome and the Audi's look SICK as well....

Honda needs to add to their line up....

Look at BMW, they have like 4 sedan series and 4 coupe series and 3 SUV lines and 1 sports car....and then in each series have various engine options and within that have M package/etc....same with Mercedes....same with Audi....

Acura has like 3 sedans with barely any options...then 2 SUV's...no sports car (no NSX does not count LOL) and no coupes....

if they want the market share, they need to expand their line up

 

I'm not that impressed....


I like the headlights! But the grill looks like BMW and the front intakes are Lambo-like.....


It's a little underwhelming at first glance.

 

I don't think I can reply from my phone since half the screen is taken by the keyboard and the other half by Stevens signature

....and that's coming from a guy who owns a HUGE note 3

 

I think the TLX looks wise is wayyyyyyyyyy better than the 4G TL. However, even with the DCT, I am disappointed that the 2.4 is rated for less HP than the K24 in my 06 TSX...I know HP isn't everything but...come on man. Engine choices (or lack thereof) are one of Acura's weaknesses IMO. We all knew there'd be a NA 4 banger and the V6 as powerplants. Nothing new or exciting. Should have dropped the turbo four from the first gen RDX and brought in a DOHC DI V6...but I know I'm talking out my ass at this point as far as Acura is concerned lol. It does look nice and appealing, but after the 4G they had nowhere to go but up IMO...no disrespect to any 4G owners, just not my flavor.

 

so since the "chapter leader" aint leading....imma post this up...(am gonna cut Matt some slack on this one since its his birthday today )....

some guy passed me the wrong info

ok damage is done....he will go crazy trying to find the ding

 

 

I hear your wife has the same problem


Thanks for the birthday wishes guys!!!

 

You sir have heard right...


How ever she doesn't need any help at all to find the donggg

 

Anybody have some stock wheels they are trying to get rid off?

I need some!

 

Happy Birthday, Sean (Buda)

 

 

Happy b-day, Buda........

 

Anybody knows a local place that can strip chrome off wheels and paint them? I have chrome Type S wheels and the beads inside the wheels are pealing and its allowing air to leak.

 

I would call around to any wheel repair shop and see if they can help you.

Or you could just buy my wheels and tires ready to mount


You know you want to...

 

 

Fucking snow! Gdmf!

 

Matt, you need more low.....

























.....so I can prove my fitment point !!!

 

Want me to move your post to the XXR thread so we can argue there and have many people prove my point for me?

Or you can PM Ebelp, muffinman, geteedan, and countless others and ask them if it will fit. Or just look at their threads and see that it fits, with all the things I am planning to do.

 

Go to Jeremy's thread....

he is running 225 on +29 front and +24 rear and he has no room at all running -1 camber...

again, it depends if you gonna tuck tires or not...if not tucking, get +10 and you should be fine running 245 tires
