i haven't been doing that lately.

 

We'll get XP in here to you!! Next smiley post, and that's it!!

 

smiley posts are okay for once n while

 

Does the car have 4 wheel steering now??? j/k

They are nice, but I would opt for the TE's.. After the TE's all the rims are heavier. If the polished lip is a must, then go for the LE's.

 

they look ok Gary

 

4 wheel steering won't be able until '08.

I've been looking high-low for straight on pics of TE's in silver but haven't found any yet. I believe the TE's also have better spoke/caliper clearance for BBKs. Also, I found a few places that sell center caps for them. Maybe mr. zizzles would be interested.

 

anyone think they have tools to solve this problem before the twisties?? im pretty sure you just need a minisaw and some sandpaper....i wanna ROLL!!!!!

 

Looks like the body panel needs to be realigned.

 

looks noice

 

They don't look too bad, but i think for the NSX you should step it up a level.

 

are you on adjustable struts? I'd tighten the suspension a bit, if not there's always SuperGlue!

 

HRE ftw

 

come gary, git R dun (is that how u guys say it)

 

lol thats what I was thinking too.

 

Maybe some BBS ones Gary?

 

naw im just lowered on tein stechs.......i just wanna saw off about an inch from the inside of the bumper panel...that would solve the problem

 

That might solve the problem, but i dont thikn that would look so good

 

thats bad idea

 

How bad does it rub?

 

After looking at your rims again Gary, I think you should wait a bit. Your current rims, although they are stock, are made by BBS right? Have you thought about the idea of getting them PowederCoated? I think that would be unique. Im not sure if you'll have a lip though

Caravan Info

Here's some info for those who want to caravan up...

TEH Z YO, TT Z YO, and NSX-Tuner are going to meet up in Fremont at 8 AM sharp!

The address is..
Starbucks
46655 Mission Boulevard
(Mission Blvd. & Warm Springs Blvd)
Fremont CA, 94539
United States

From there, we can make a stop in Livermore. We will probably be there between 8:20 - 8:30.

For those that want to meet in Livermore, post up a meet spot. I am familiar with Livermore, so I know most of the spots of 580. We can update this meet post from here.

 

Gary - Instead of powder coating them, I think you should sell them to me

 

that works also

 

how's that shoulder jeff?

 

I check in tomorrow at 11:15 and they operate at 2:15. I'm hoping it's uneventful

 

Correct... they are BBS forged and weigh less than 20LBS. I really like them for stock rims but I'm forced to stay with OEM tires (Bridgestone Potenza RE040) which are better than the OEMs that came with the CL but aren't anywhere near sticky enough for the X. So in order to go with better tires and/or a BBK, I need to upgrade to 18s. I'm leaning toward LE37Ts in silver or TE37.

 

That would help fund the new rims... However, I promised myself this time around to save all of the OEM parts off of the X. The only OEM stuff I have left from the CL modding are the blank front vents and brakelines. Everything else was sold.

 

You'll be in our thoughts tomorrow. Hope everything goes according to plan and you have a speedy recovery cause you don't want to miss too much of ...

 

Guess what? Acura of Concord called me today and they said they are going to replace my '05 TL!!!! They stated that this is good will since I am a client and they want me to be 100% satisfied. I asked them how much it's going to cost me, and they said "not a single penny" .

Obviously, I am taking that statement with a grain of salt. I am meeting the dealership manager at 1 pm on Friday (thank god I work from home on Fridays) along with my legal representation (my bro).

If I get the car replaced then, I will have to go easy on the twisties .

 

nothin' wrong w/breakin' the car in on the Legendary SacTown Twisties!

 

 

You can be near the end, with me we'll take care of ya

 

are we gonna run two groups?
1) TT Z Yo, Teh Z Yo, :killer:,
2) the rest of us slow bastards??

 

Hehe, sounds good. I just hope everything works out, because it's been a tough month with much time spent at the dealership.

 

well keep in mind, we might have 3 Zizzles, then we have Teh X along w/ the 3rd Gens. Then us slow bastards oh yeah, then Klepto

 

i dont remember what exactly happened, but it must have been somethin pretty major to get your whole car replaced. Good job for being persistent and not backing down. I have a feeling our 3rd Gen TL has the most miles for being and 05

 

should we start a NOS fund for Klepto?

 

I think so, either that or the "H22 Swap Fund"

 

Hehehe. Well, to sum up the probem:

-Strange humming / drone coming from driver side between 30 - 35 mph ~1500 rpm. Sounds louder when the car has been outside overnight.

-First Trip - Tech heard the sound and said it's the transmission spinning

-Second Trip - Same tech hears it again, but louder this time. Replaces Heat Shield, then replaces transmission, then replaces both front and back catalytic converters (~20 days at the dealership)

-Third Trip - New tech, heard the sound. Switched out P -zeros with Turanzas, sound is still there.

There you have it, '05 TL with 1100 miles.
