hey new to the community me and my girl jst got a 2008 tl would love to come meet some new people and learn a thing or two about this car im in vancouver,wa. btw

 

welcome! new people are always welcome to our meets we are a small happy bunch but would love to grow bigger =) Hope to see ya there!!

 

thanks for the warm welcomewell im a 18 wheeel truck driver and i most say seen a whole bunch of tl's tsx and mdx's up in the seattle /tacoma area today i guess their the bigger community for this region ?

 

Yeah SeaTac has a bigger following than we do. We're slackers here in the Willamette valley ha.

Ok, so I'm in...or am I...oooo mysterious...

 

I might even have a person from seattle come down so that will be a nice touch if he does..

Chris you are so coming! even if i have to stop by your place and drag you

 

well i'm waiting for a good day to run the tl up north to see what it can do till then it'll be running around vancouver and ocassionally in portland as well .

 

im in north portland and always around the jantzen beach and delta park area so who knows maybe one day youll roll pass me

 

I'm in!

 

^ sweet!!

 

hell yeah im so in....lots has change seens our last meet with clee109

 

what time is the meet?

 

its at noon.. so 12pm on the dial =)

 

hey i called acura of beaverton i wasnt aware i had to put 91 octane in my tank i used up like half a tank running up to the outlet in centralia last weekend after i filled up i was like f**k where's the gas going but i filled up w/87 octane my 95 acura legend has better gas mileage than my tl whats w/that ????

 

Sorry I must have missed that.....cant freaking wait hope it will turn out better then our last meet

 

its all about where you get your gas and how much additive is included in it.. ive noticed i get better gas mileage with 76 gas then shell and i get a hair better with chevron.. also there is a article somewhere about how cars burn better with lower octane then others.. i have to run higher octane due to my reflash which leans the car out and gives me a higher redline..

should be.. fingers crossed

 

I can't wait either!!! It's coming up fast. I'm coming from Seattle so all you Portland heads have no excuse not to show up!! I'm trying to get the other tsx's from here to roll out with me.

 

wow if people are caming down from Seattle. We locals have no excuse not show up.

 

bump!

 

so what is your suggestion as too getting the most out of my gas usage ? i'm thinking of adding a k&n air filter it streched my fill ups on my acura legend from 1 week to 2-2.5 weeks so i'm hoping it'll also strech the fill ups in my tl another week ,so is 76 better than chevron as well

 

maybe im not understanding it right.. you filled up your TL with 85 gas? thats gonna hinder your gas mileage noticeably, thought it was your 95 legend you did it too.. which shouldnt be as bad.. but ya TL deserves the best gas it runs happier with it..

just a filter change wont do much need the cold air to go with it.. and if you do that figure on being rev happy for a bit cause you want to hear the intake all the time.

 

yeah i filled up w/87 octane when we first filled up and yeah it didnt last long in the tank i'm just concerned as to whats going to keep the tank filled as long as possible for daily commutes to and from work i'm not rev happy lol i may do that once in a blue moon while on the highway

 

stay out of vtec, a cold air will help just dont be gunning it all the time, depending on the year of your tl (2008 or newer shouldnt need it) replacing the spark plugs.. not sure if you even mentioned a year of TL that you have but here could be a few things to do if its an 06 or older.. 07 is the borderline mark

 

so are we gonna go on a cruise or anything?

 

ill be cruising from NoPo to our meet next month.. suppose i could meet up at delta park and could cruise together from there..

 

I will be there for sure!!

 

Like a mystery cruise...that would be kool

 

an intake wont do shiz to your gas mileage. You'll be gunning it for the sound and even if you don't the difference is negligible. The trick to gas mileage is to follow a few simple rules that few of us follow:

1. Do not jump on the gas from a stop, ease it on.

2. Do not drive your car in manu-matic mode, leave in D for overdrive.

3. Do not slam the brakes, predict your need to stop and ease the brakes on slowly.

4. Try to keep RPMs below 3K at all time.

5. Run the recommended fuel grade always. If you have been running standard and then put in a tank of premium, don't expect a difference on that first tank, instead look for the difference on the second tank.

6. Avoid hills, utilize highways for everything. Driving at the same average low RPM will lead to better mileage

7. Try to keep your car running at optimal engine temp, a cold engine burns more fuel

8. Clean air filter and regular oil changes

9. Clean your fuel system, Brandon can give you pointers with Sea Foam

10. Replace your sparks if your car is getting over 50K in miles

11. Reserve A/C use for HOT days, not for unfogging your windshield.

12. Make sure you air pressure is what the sticker on the driver door jam states for your tires (if you're running OEM spec wheels and tires). Running low pressure leads to more drag.

13. Get hard tires or reduced friction tires (you know what they put on Prius's).

Follow all of that you'll notice a considerable gain in mileage. That's all referred to as grandma driving lol

meet is coming up! I need to start working on an excuse to bail lol

 

Itd be nice to go on a cruise instead of hard parking at the mall the whole time. Haha

 

^ There's a great idea

 

^ well look who it is.. mr smiley!! saw ya the other day in your brown bus hahaha =)

 

ya would be nice maybe this summer when we have more consistant dry weather we should do that so we can enjoy the landscape.. maybe do a hillsboro to gresham cruise or something..

 

Put this on my calendar.

 

hoping there is no slackers!! =)

 

im coming by with another 08 tl-s

 

Got a few friends rolling. Guess all my S2k homies are gonna roll down and back with me. Might bring them to the meet. A friend and I are meeting at Llyod Center before and heading to the meet.

I'll be the one with the ugly Mugen visors and home depot lip hahahaha

 

^ haha i got the spoof mugen visors so no worries there =)

 

Lol. I have the real Mugen visors. Just cracking a joke from the other thread about my car lol.

 

40 posts on a meet thread...that's got to be a record for us. Now if only 40 people would show up.
