Thanks for the welcomes.
Phambam ill let you know when I get it titnted should be in the next few weeks, just want to make sure I get the title with no problems.
Ill upload some pics in the next few days, I had to replace the side mirrors and do little things to make it look presentable.

 

Lets meet up people!

 

Set it up! possibly closer this time LOl

 

LOL ya closer! Im down here in American fork

 

Great! Middle ground is Sandy then! lol. I'm just thinking of a nice big parking space. Do you guys want an acura only meet or a mix? That would affect the time and dates

 

Closer my way haha jk.

If thats the case then lets hit up cars and coffee on Saturday.

I would of but I work this saturday

 

Well for this weekend at least, let try for cars and coffee. We'll try to setup another meet for just the acura guys when its convenient.

Im going to feel like a freshman's first day of college

 

Did any of you guys show to cars and coffee?

 

Yea I was there. Dat was there with the lex. Saw 2 Manual Tsx's but didn't get to meet the owners.

 

I know the owner of the blue TSX, he's actually a good friend.


On other news, I'm selling the Lexus, that's why you saw it looking pathetic at C&C.

 

Aw thats sad. Guess I'm never gonna see it with the wheels on. What you planning on picking up instead?

 

I actually shipped out the wheels to the new owner last Friday, so that's why you saw it with the stockies. As of right now, i'm getting away from the car scene, I've been in it for a very long time and have blown countless amount of money into it, so the next car might be a mini van lol, that way I can resist from modding it (I know you can mod and make vans cool, but it's not something I want to do).

 

^clean lexus. I saw it up close at the Rallysport meet and momentarily within the past few weeks when I had a Lexus and joined those forums.

 

Aww dude thats sad. You know you can still be a part of the community with any car. How bout an MDX! That would look sick! I know, I'm not helping lol :P

 

Teaser.



Got my headlights sanded down yesterday. Look 50 times better now.
Anyone know a good place to do the 100k mile service? Or whichever service it is where you change the timing belt, water pump and I dont even know what else aside from spark plugs and oil.

 

Jody Wilkinson Acura any day. They stand by their work and warranty claims.

 

Any idea on price for the service? I forgot to ask when I was there. Been buying all the parts I need from then. They have great service

 

Think its under 1500 I believe. Don't quote me on that. Also buy parts from http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/jsp/home.jsp

There's a big difference buying it retail vs online. Some parts are fine but the big ones are better online

 

God damn lol.
Yeah the parts I have needed were only about 2 dollars cheaper online. So I figured why not just see how friendly the dealer is.

 

Makes sense. Yea bounce back and forth. I'm putting in SS brake and clutch lines and trying to do a couple things here and there to drop that cost. :P Its a big service and is really important so its worth it. My 200K service is gonna creep up on me soon. Gotta be ready for that.

 

Wooh. Just got off the phone with jody Wilkinson acura. $1650 for everything.
Honda dealers do this as well right? I might have to give them a call.

 

I wouldn't advise going to Honda. If you want trustworthy work I'd say JWA. They've done 1500 dollars worth of work on my car for free so far just because I took the car in for a check up. They're really efficient. Thats just my

 

Makes sense. Its definitely a big bill though.

Met up with phambam today and he helped me install 5000k morimoto lo beams. Thanks again pham!
Quick pic, I want to do more to this car quick thanks to phambams sexy car.

 

Hey phambam did you crack open your headlights? Ive been on the fence about doing mine but i think they look great on your WDP. Mine needs it

 

Anyone doing cars and coffee this weekend? Show up and let hang out!

 

have you tried mike hale acura? i go there for all my service and love them.

on a side note, i've been sort of lurching and a bit more focused on my 2-wheeled vehicles but get more interested in seeing everyone's vehicles everytime i logon to acurazine - vipur: i think i could be down this weekend! when and where are you thinking?

 

I bought my car from them. They weren't good at being descriptive with what they were doing to my car. Just shady overall. I went to Jody and they took good care. Got loaner's even for relatively small work. Better feedback on warranty claims, and the service guys were 100% transparent on what they did to my car. Given the aftermarket mods they haven't ever denied me my warranty claim. So overall just really great. I've taken my wife's Celica in too and they've been really accommodating despite the fact that they don't usually work on that brand.

Thats the facebook page. Its every saturady at beans and brews. Pretty chill meetup with a bunch of cars across the board.
Saturday, 9:00am - 11:00am. Beans & Brews 675 West South Jordan Parkway

I agree Jody Wilkinson all the way!! I had my timing service done there. Also you could talk to a service manager and see what special they have going on? or see if they can give you a discount. I got 200 bucks off mine.

 

Mike Hale is terrible! I sent my wife to get a battery and oil changed and they said (because it was a girl) there was a leak in my pipes...and it would be 500$ to fix. I had her hand them the phone and I asked all these questions and they would beat around the bush about it! Never going back there!

 

Phambams headlights are black housed. Mine sre as well. Looks great on WDP.
Ill have to get a quote from mike hale, I originally started going to Jody Wilkinson because the prices just on parts were way better. Anyway I ordered the timing belt kit already.
No cars and coffee for me this weekend. Hoping to grt my tl-s suspension thrown on since I have bad shocks. Also, my brakes sound disgusting., new rotors in the back, front ones were resurfaced last week, any idea what to try next? Pads are fresh as well.

Lol if anyone has a full a spec kit for sale locally lmk. I'll buy it in any color since DGP is not available.

 

Has anyone had problems with inspections for their blacked out headlights? I'm tempted to do it but it would a pain in every part to take it back out or order new lights if the car wouldn't pass.

 

It wont be an issue. Its not like tinting that actually blocks light output. The only thing a shop could really get you for is if you didnt have orange turn signals, so just get switchbacks and problem solved. Although in previous vehicles I've had white lights and got passed with no problem.

 

What up azine!! I'm checking in from Lehi!! Picked up a 2006 base tl with 63XXX miles. I love it! I'm glad there are some members around! I'll have to come out to cars and coffe sometime, seems like that's where you guys meet up.

 

Welcome! what color is your tL? wish my car was 63k lol
