Also, on the Thermo mod front, no word from Astroboy . . . if I don't hear from him by the end of next week I say we move on and go with it.

I hang out at Z06vette.com and corvetteform.com-they seem pretty level-headed over there.

So is anyone planning on buying another Honda or Acura for their next car? I know I'm not.

Hey Grayson, watcha doin' the weekend of April 9th? I might be hitting up Austin.

RUF87

Not for me, personally. I'm still miffed over the handling of the tranny problem. :angryfire

Matter of fact I've lookend in to trading it in, but the resale/trade in value is not good enough.

I wouldn't be surprised if the tranny problem along with other build/design quality issues have resulted in this problem.

It showed up at 1:30 today. I just finished washing it off. I'm happy.

DeezNutz

Mantis, I sent you 3 pics. Much appreciated if you can post them.

DeezNutz

I'm a little pissed off about the whole tranny issue. It has me not wanting an Acura for a while. They don't have a car (in my $$$ range) that I want right now anyway.

RUF u whore

RUF is trying to catch up with Manty.

G

Hmmm, not sure. Probably not much. What brings ya down here??

G

Schaweet!! So how does it drive?? You enjoying it??

G

Cool. Let us know how the decision goes.

G

Hmmmm. If Acura comes out with a TL Coupe with 300 horsies and AWD, then I will be one of the first to get one in a manual. Other than that, I don't think that I will be spending all that much time in an Acura stearlship.

G

Should have come down to Houston. We all had a blast. Pics will be up later on this evening.

G

Allright, so what are y'all thinkin about doing about the thermoblock mod?? Any hesitant time frame for a mod-meet??

RUF87

Not really . . . Mantis is the Master . . . I just want number 2 . . .

Inferno HAD that and being a newer member, compared to me, this was not right besides, and even tho he has a TLS, he got an STi and spends his $$ on it . . . it's not right that he was number 2

And lastly, since we've lost Danny, Casper, Hanzi and Bluesman our posting rate has slowed . . . . someone has to pick up the slack to keep Sactown from closing the gap . . .

Ruf

Sounds like a pan to me. I will do what I can to aide you in your quest.

RUF87

No date yet . . . it's not going to be real soon, so maybe a track meet this coming month.

It'll take us a couple of weeks to get the order in . . . assuming the GB works out and then schedule an install.

There is one possible issue with the thermoblock . . . some folks are claiming that the cars are losing coolant and oil . . . no one has an answer as to why that is. And while some think "just check it and add when needed", I'm an old mechanic and that's not the right approach. If this is really happening we need to know why. Where is being lost . . . how? Depending on that it may be ok, but fluid loss of any kind is a serious issue as it could lead to other problems that can effect both long term wear and performance . . . 10hp is not enough to risk this.

I would not want to do that to my car. Good luck on finding out what is going on.

So, did y'all have a good easter?

RUF87

Well, you have 36% of the last 25 posts . second most . . so you get a :silvercup

Other than the rain, we had a good one . . . at least the boys did.

We should just call this the ATXCLS and Ruf thread.

DeezNutz

I was surprised that more peeps haven't been alarmed by this. I sure am.

DeezNutz

I don't have a plate for it yet, so I just toyed around the neighborhood. I had the top off and was enjoying the torque quite a bit, regardless.

Awesome. So was it as clean as you had hoped and had been told?

Danny's lurking . . . .

We'll have to bust his chops for dissing our thread . . .

It would appear it has become that . . . it used to be the Mantis and Danny thread . . . notice how many posts Danny has . . he was closing on Mantis . .

Actually, it sat out on a truck going thru rain and storms for most of it's journey, so it was absolutely filthy. The dirt and grime on the front of the car was unbelievable -- it was really caked on. I could hardly see thru the windshield. So, I gave it a nice long bath, and all was good again.

The underside of the car, the wheel wells, etc. were spotless. The soap sponge hardly picked up any dirt at all wiping under there. I don't think it ever saw bad weather. So, yeah, I think the guy was straight-up about how well he maintained it. It's truly in like-new condition.
