Yes they are! I would like to clear the diffuser too. I have been thinking about it. I need rotors.

They were take apart a few to many times so the clips that hold the lenses together are broke so he headlights don't hold a tight seal. Otherwise nothing is wrong with them. I love my new headlights and won't have a use for the old ones. I can always open my headlights and swap my parts into your headlights. Quick and simple.

I have an issue with my TL. When I'm cruising down the interstate it feels like I'm driving into a gusting head wind? It feels like the car is fighting. The RPM's stay a constant 2000 rpm at 70 mph.

It's hard to describe and I know dick about cars...just curious if anyone may know what is causing this?

Just replaced my driver's side door lock actuator Friday and I must say that the TL is one of the most easiest door panel removal and reinstall DIY I had ever done .

I haven't been to many car show or event this summer. Too busy being out and about. Other than that, I haven't been up to much just repairing and replacing parts as they slowly go out due to high mileage. What about you?

So when are you putting something together for the MN crew?

Should we shoot for either the 7/27-28 weekend or the 8/3-4 weekend? Anyone want to volunteer there home for a BBQ spot, or should we just meet up somewhere else?

July 27-28 would work best for me.. I've got a bachelor party the weekend of the 3-4th so I'll be outta town

I would volunteer my house, but people complained last time it was brought it because I live "too far away"

Where do you live Jake? I could care less where I'm driving to since I'd be coming up from Rochester anyways.

C'mon people...chime in! What do we want to do?

I live a simple life so you guys figure out a time and place and I'll be there. I turn 33 on the 28th but currently have no plans for the day so it would be fun to have it that day but like I said I'm flexible any day any time. For those in the Coon Rapids area the American Legion on the corner of Northdale Blvd and Crooked Lake Blvd has a very small car show, fewer people than RK Monday's, every other Tuesday 5pm-8pm and it is tonight if anyone was interested.

Thanks for the information so every Tuesday I will be there next week.on another note I do not care were we have it. It seems we are the few that are interested in doing something. Tim at Powder Keg said he would volunteer hi place like last time, but we would have to have enough people. Sow far this summer it's us 4 that wAnt to get together. If no one else is interested we should just meet and cruise and do BW'S like we have done before. I have to on the 27th to drop off my son early in the morning at the Airport and pick up my wife at 11:00 PM. So this leaves the whole day to my self so that works for me. I have the 21st open too. I will talk to Tim again see if we could get other group to have an all out meet at his place.

I'm out in Rogers. As for weekend, it sounds like 7/27-7/28 is the preferred weekend... now to figure out where and what... also, some more "who's" would be nice so it's not just 3-4 people.

No every OTHER Tuesday so the next one isn't till 7/23 and even then I wouldn't recommend you drive all the way from WB for it. It is mostly classics and was a classic car only show but last time I went there was one or two newer cars so I am not 100% sure if there is an age limit. Like I said it is very small maybe 15-30 cars at most and it is mostly old people who just sit and visit with their friends for the show. I was recommending it mostly to Joe, Glow and Lusid if they are still around the CR area anyone else it really wouldn't be worth the cost of the gas to get there and see it.

You suck! Although I might be willing to take a day off on a Monday or Tuesday sometime.

Good news! My whole street is paved... My house is open! If you want to grill at my place on the 27th

Since WBA is awful at answering text messages ....I have to ask the group a question.

I need a new serpentine belt and my lower pulley is an aftermarket part. Standard OEM belt length is 40"...last time WBA replaced it, he used a shorter belt. Any of you fine gentlemen happen to know what the next size down would be for length? Is it only go by 1" increments?

Good morning guys, finally i have found this thread of fellow T.C acura owners. I'm not new to Acura but some what new to the forums. I currently have a 2009 Acura TL, its sitting on Custom painted Vossen CV3's and what really sets it apart is the Mattle Blue Vinyl that I got done few months back! Would love to meet everyone and hopefully show up to a few meets!

I am down for 27 or 28. I might work on the 27th tho, if so, I will probably just show up later. If no one want to BBQ at a house, maybe we can go to a park?
