I CANT pay that kind of money ( I dont get a tribal check...
) so I ordered the parts from Kaleb (wholesalepartsguy) at Hansel Acura in No. Cali. for $295.00
Here is the thread:
https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/complete-timing-belt-kit-special-%24295-763445/
I also called around for Labor pricing:
Bloomington Acura - ~623.95
Buerkle Acura - ~650.00
Walser Honda - ~580.00
FullBlown Motorsports - ~500.00
Nate, I called Krenzen honda in Duluth for you:
Labor - ~510.00
If you all have the extra money to pay someone to do it for you then you will save a few hundred bucks if you buy the parts and then take them to a shop.
Corporate shops like Firestone or Precision Tune wont take your parts because of warranty. So you can go to a dealer or find Bob's brokedown backyard autoshop.

I might know somebody who could do that kind of work, for about half the price of that list :wink:

Doubt he's a ninja just like me lol

I don't think you'll have much to worry about. I don't know about the rest of the guys but on the other forum I was on we don't tolerate people breaking the law (speeding or reckless driving) if you do you won't be invited/allowed to attend the meets. This is just a nice casual cruise, we don't want to give acurazine a bad name when were representing that.

2 weeks in Denver, 4 weeks in Lithuania, week at home, another week in Lithuania, and now I'm in frickin' Georgia for this week. When I'm home I try to stick around with the fam as much as possible since I have been spending so much time on the road.

If anyone was wondering I am still alive haha. I don't think I've been on here in about a year. Also today is my birthday and I'm finally 21!!! Travis told me about the Meet and Cruise coming up next month so I'll check it out tomorrow when I have more time, I'm in a hurry right now but I should be able to come to it.

Hey now.. Don't scare the kid.
He's still got another good week left in him before things goto hell.
How was your night last night Kyle? Or should I be asking how your morning is? Shoot me a message over on FB next time you're looking for a reason to get out before 9:30

Sup guys? I'm new here on this site and was wondering how long the meet would last? I could make it around 5:20ish? Well long story short, right now I'm driving a 07 tsx 6mt. Would love to get to know some other acura owners or people in general that do mods.
Thanks in advance, James.

I think we are all meeting around noon or 1pm in St Paul then we chill for a while and head to BWW. Last year I left around 5pm and there were still a bunch of people hanging out. Plus I think some chicago guys are coming up so everyone will probably also meet up later that night to cruise University. Send one of us a PM with your phone number and you can contact that person and see whats up when your ready to head down.

Saw a stock WDP 3G TL stock with window tints on HWY 252 around 5:20ish or so today. Anyone on here? I was the 3G TL SSM with full a-spec kit on the left turning lane.

Hey guys. I'm debating going to the meet. Just picked up my car a few months ago and everything is stock, but was still debating just stopping by to check out a few of your rides.
Also, anyone know of a good place to get tint done? I've gotten all of my vehicles tinted at Street Scenes, but they won't do anything less than 50%.. let me know if you guys can recommend anywhere in the Twin Cities area.

Their mobile & they come to you. I was going to get my windows tinted 40% all around just to be safe. But I decided to buy HT spec dampers type 2's coilovers instead

The mod bug is hitting already. Plus, I need to get a second set of rims so I can sport some winter tires too. What do you guys think of these Axis Options?

they look ok, Im personally not a big fan of rims with more than 5 spokes. If there was a way to see them on your ride I might be able to give a better opinion.

Generally I am in the same boat as you with the rims - but something is different with this car. Could be that the car is shorter, or has more curves? A lot of wheels just look like they have too much space in them.
Here they are on an Infiniti. Take into consideration I've got a sedan, and it's black.

I actually think you could pull that Axis wheels off, they would look great IMO. I'm considering the Axis Pentas whenever I get around to finishing other things, wheels are the last thing on my list.
I came down and had my windows tinted at Sun Control, they do awesome work and great customer service. I went with there Formula Pinnacle Series at 50% I think it looks pretty good with the ebony interior. They also have a lifetime warranty with the tint. My moleskins fell off and smeared glue all over my window, called them up, made an appointment and drove down to have the window re tinted and new moleskins installed for FREE.
