Acura ended up covering 90% of the tranny, so that wasn't too bad...

And I had been driving super conservatively for like a week, like I didn't break 2.5k RPM's a single time... About a week later and my transmission is gone. Coincidence? I think not. I now have an excuse to speed forever, haha

Does anyone have ATLP's V2 Jpipe that is willing to swap me for my RV-6 V3 Jpipe. I have a lot of rasp with this ATLP base Exhaust and people who are running the V2 jpipe aren't having any.

This is what it currently sounds like.

With a little help from teh Tech at WBL Acura. Hey spend money on tires from what I heard yours are showing steel cords and are not in conditions to be traveling at 140 MPH. You could hurt youself or someone else not cool

^You are just looking at the part of the tires you can see from the out side. The guy that had the car on the lift told me that the tires are wearing out on the inside severelly. I know him he has done all the work on my car at the dealer he does not BS like some people do. Besides when was the last time you got under Slapys car to know wether his tires are in a safe condition. I mention this to Slapy because I would not like to see him hurt while going 140 MPH.

I guess i didn't see under his car so i couldn't say lol just the outside (which was low but alright i guess)

Probably not a good idea to be doing 140 on those tires even with the outsides tred.

Matt, you should get camber kits.

I know this is kind of out of nowhere but I've been lurking for a while and had to jump on the opportunity for a v3 j pipe.

Nate, I'd be interested in the pipe if you part out. pm me or email me at mjthurmes@hotmail.com
