No big deal if you cant find it. If it comes down to it, ill paint it Takata Green for mad tight JDM points.

haha.. yea.. he did a full typeS conversion on his base 6spd. i like how the typeS quad version sounds versus the base.

and yea.. wait till the 3.5 tsx comes out. it'll be faster and much more nimbler than typeS

I remember when our Jack Russell was a pup and we had carpet. It took him a couple of weeks to get house-trained, but it was messy in the meantime. He's crated when my wife and I are at work (~7 hours) and he hasn't had an accident in years. When we're home, he walks over to the back slider and pushes around the vertical blind slats when he has to go.

DO TRACERS!!! make my once dream a reality. I order some but some how the order got botched at AME.



So i was browsing the black market, and found ATLP quad tips for 40$...

Snatched those up with a quickness. They are the ones with the small ATLP logo on top of the tip from the first batch, so i either get new mufflers and have basically the first batch, or keep them around incase i ever get rear ended again.

score.

i'm leaning on the rpfs now and get custom finish.

and very very bad news about my tl-s...
rear lower subframe where rear sway bar attaches to is cracked or torned off.
hopefully acura covers it under warranty unless it'll cost me a fortune to replace the lower frame... wtf...

Yea, JJ got pissed with them when they fucked my order 2 months in.

As for the broken RSB mount, just have it re-welded. Alot of people have been having this issue, and welding it fixes the problem. No reason to replace the whole subframe, thats just Tonkin trying to take your money.

thankfully they'll covered it under warranty. i think parts they ordered is almost $1000

if it happens again next time, probably will have to weld it.

will be driving '09 wdp tl for a week now.. my tl will feel shitty after a week
