spend some time in the 3rd Gen section and you'll learn a ton. Here's the 3G photo section, might be a good source of mod-inspiration:

So...I didn't necessarily get screwed. I got a good deal on the car and it is in great shape. However...after I was driving it back to Austin I flipped on the lights and one of the HID bulbs was out. Additionally, the wife tells me the next day that there's no wiper fluid in the car. I go to fill it up and it dumps right onto my foot.

Some of you might be ahead of me at this point, but for those that are not, the access point for the headlight is at the wheel well, which is right next to the windshield wiper pump. So whoever tried to replace the bulb burned up the ignitor, quickly tried to put everything back together and knocked the wiper pump off.

Dealer is simply saying that both defects are some kind of crazy occurrence that happened as soon as I drove off the lot. My mechanic says there is absolutely no way the bulb ignitor damage happened during me owning the vehicle unless I tried to change it myself (which I did not).

ballast/ignitor and res are fairly cheap. The real issue.. it was probably in an accident.

probably just a half-assed attempt to change a burnt bulb.

i swear some of the "ASE Certified" techs that they have working at dealerships are complete goons, especially the independent places.

So does anyone here in the Austin area have a navi hack disk? I'd love to get a 3.7 hack disk, but anything newer than that I could upgrade to as well and would be willing to compensate you for it.

Thanks!

After all my years on this board and just now ran across this thread. Sold my TSX for an MDX recently and couldnt be happier with the space. Look forward to making out to some of the meets. Might be able to find someone locally to sell my left over TSX parts to, ie. flash pro, etc

I stopped by yesterday from around 12:00 - 12:30, but there was only a few guys there. I had brought my little 4 yr old and she was getting restless so we didn't stay long. I didn't see any A-zine folks, just a couple of auto cross guys and a couple of other random cars.

Damn we must've just missed each other. Our cruise didn't arrive until 12:45pm. Damn traffic coming from SA stalled us. Meet really didn't build up until late. Turn out kinda sucked this month because everyone was too hungover to show lol. Oh well. Next time! lol

There's an up to date attendees list in the pinned thread up top. Distorted is going, I'll be there too. 20-30 cars expected.

Are you going to Cars & Coffee the next morning? We will be a featured group, hope to see you there!
