i feel the pain.. i think my car has seen the body shop more times in a year then any normal car

 

no

i should've


most of honda/acura have really bad color mismatch. especially white ones can be spotted very easily. they should rather paint the whole car at once if this continues


first time for me. been spotting many 3g with aspec kits & wheels though

So I went to Discount Tires @ 185th to see if mine can be replaced too this afternoon. Its been sitting in the storage with little less than 5k miles since I have other set to burn through.

Anyways... This store manager or inventory manager whatever guy that I talked to weren't really helpful. This recall is a goodwill done by Goodyear, and not sure why he was so protective about it. Also he thinks this is a bull becuase he never heard any cases like this from customers or Goodyear.... Well... this is why its a "silent recall" and you have no other way of knowing it if you don't call Goodyear direct.

After some conversation, he finally called Goodyear but they were closed (eastern time). He says he'll call tomorrow and let me know and if he doesn't, I'll be calling Goodyear myself.

 

damn tire shops!

Today was freaking beautiful, but alas wife made me do yard work all day and it's my time off! weak lol

 

haha.. you should of done it at the beginning of the week so you can rest the other part of the week... i know i plan to bust out my crap this weekend so i can slack the rest of the week

 

I've had a lot of problems with that Discount Tires on 185th. They definitely do sub-par work. I've had several bad beads that leaked, and they always get shit all over my wheels and don't clean it off. So annoying.

 

Whoa....new oregon member!


Welcome, any more pics of your TSX? Looks good with that front end.

 

another white one for the books =) Looks good!!

and yes i will refuse to commit to be like you guys and get a white car

dont people like color anymore? or just lazy cause white is the easiest to keep clean? haha

 

Hey, leave my white RL and white Prelude alone..

 

lol, hey guys. No I got white because I just fraking love this car in white. And for the record, its not easy to keep clean. I've had to wash it every week since I've bought it. It looks dirty after 1 day. I think silver is the easiest to keep clean personally.

If they still made the TSX in Milano Red, I would have gotten red. Basque red pearl is too grandpa for me.

 

Ask and you shall recieve....

 

Here she is the day I brought her home. Swapped to the Aero Bumper and removed the intake resonator.

 

very nice.. judging by the pics.. and me just not noticing it but it looks like you would have an easier time makeing the headlights all clear by removing the orange reflector (same way as the 3g TL's) but maybe im wrong.. still kinda hard to tell..

i cant wait for the new v6 tsx to come out i wanna drive it to see the power difference

very clean ride

 

Wow that looks mean. What are the plans for it?

 

v6 swap with 6spd?

 

new TSX with aspec front looks mean. How about the eibach springs for it? And welcome to the chat.

BTW, Brandon in secret really wants a white one but wont admit it... Oops, secrets out.

 

^^ hahah funny

 

Is it just me or does anyone else have problems finding this damn sub forum?

 

Nope

But then, I was kind of involved with this whole thing

 

Its hard to decide what I should do with the TSX because there really aren't many parts for it, and I have an '08 Si that, when it really comes down to it, should be the car that I'm making faster/handle better.

That said, I'd like to do a rear sway bar, bigger wheels/better tires, paint the front grill, and maybe tint. I don't know about tweaking with the suspension much because my wife and I bought the TSX to be our comfortable long trip car.

 

YES! The regional forums need to be linked up on the home page under the "BROWSE FORUMS" list on the left!

 

Oh hush up Ken!!!
THANK YOU!!! Haha. Now we need the mods to get on it.


BBQ coming in just a few weeks, ya'll ready?! I brought the BBQ up there Thursday so everything is setup on my end.

 

But don't you want your long trip car to have a good/comfortable suspension?

 

only issue I find is if I am on a car community (TSX, TL, etc..) at the bottom there is "Acurazine Meets" or whatever and when you go there you get the moved threads, would be cool of there was a regional category under those main car cats...ken.... lol

 

The suspension is comfortable now... lol, but the sway bar would help it corner flatter so that would be more comfortable

 

My wife and I'd be down for a BBQ... I'm a BBQ'n fool.

 

haha sweet, I'm going to make a thread in this section in the next couple of weeks with the details. I'll supply the meet and probably the beer, I'll just have everyone bring sides.

I want to setup a tee time for the golfers here before hand too, but I have to see what the prices are for the country club.

 

rear sway bar is a must for any honda/acura or for any fwd cars

 

and i think this is a must for kyle's tl with free flowing atlp quads




its a #3 in the diagram. factory intake manifold spacer


https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-performance-parts-modifications-112/factory-im-spacer-17108-rdj-a00-727819/

 

You still have your Type-S Bar? Ive been thinking about trying to find one...or the 6mt bar (they may be the same, i forget) and just doing that.

I saw this last night...hood clearance would be my only worry. But apparently there is 2 inches of clearance...and this is only 1.6inch.

So engine movement may cause them to hit....but it is just plastic, and can be milled down easily.

Maybe ill give it a shot. Have to call up Speed OE Parts Concept next week

 

i still have my rsb but thinking to keeping them just in case rear subframe breaks again


i don't have free flowing catback so going to wait and see dyno result of others with stock system. i saw outlaw engineering's dyno graph and even with thin spacers, it gave pretty good gain of hp/tq. so i'm thinking to order the thermoblock spacers for now and swap them with oem spacers if dyno numbers are good

 

That happens on my TL, the stupid engine cover kept hitting the hood so I just ended up taking it off.

 

Ill trade you my RSB + Thermoblok Intake mani spacer for your RSB???

 

Damn you guys and your V6's... I didn't wait out for the V6 TSX because I refuse to drive a stupid slush box. Who knows if swapping a 6MT V6 is even feasible in this chassis. My car is slooooooooow.

I went into Speed Concept and asked if they had anything to make my car faster, and Dan and JJ just shrugged and said that it'll probably never happen. DERK

 

well if you had got the CL7-9 you could have had K-Pro... lol then a wealth of power options opens up for you

 

deal

 

probably it'll take a year or two for aftermarket parts to come out. or it could take less since 2g tsx is using same k24 as previous gen.

 

awesome.

let me get a hold of speed concept about ordering the MDX spacer

 

Who wants to buy my TL?!

I'll throw in a gun of your choice with the sale.
