Just dropped the Z off of the shop. Man, I don't think that I can live too much longer knowing that someone else is driving my baby.

I saw a really hot girl driving a black Z06 on my way in this morning -- I was quite turned on by the combo.

Mantis, I'n not positive, but I may be joing you on the tranny replace soon . . . seems like it's starting to hit hard in 2nd . . . that's what it did before #1 . . . took about 2 months from that point though.

Not too unhappy as I never liked the way this one shifts . . . . plain hate it . . . . . so I'm hoping it does blow and the new one is better . . . otherwise I will

Yep, just about 1 yr or 12k miles . . . but if the next one shifts better it'll be worth it . . . I seriously looked at trading it in after getting this POS 2nd tranny . . .

Link to TSBs.

Interesting that the one from Honda requires a subscription fee . . . a nice fat one at that.

https://www.serviceexpress.honda.com/rjanisis/logon.asp

http://www.iatn.net/nastf/oematrix.html#honda

This last one has several, but I'm not certain who complete it is.

http://www.alldata.com/recall/make/Acura.html

What is interesting is that there is one for an ECM reprogramming . . . thought that wasn't possible on our cars . . . we'll see what the techies on the board have to say.

I'm still in denial. I am driving an Impala right now. There was a noise that would thunk when I turned the wheel to lock and they can't figure it out.

I just want my car back.

Well, I brought it in to get an oil change and for them to work on a couple of things:

1) The trim around the radio is not flush and is pulling away ever so slightly.
-They do not know how to fix this
2) The driver's side mirror will "bounce" a little upon entering the car, like it is hovering around the memory position, but does not know if it is correct.
-They do not know how to fix this
3) There is a clunk when I turn at parking lot speeds at full lock.
-They do not know how to fix this

So, overall, I think that I am doing pretty well!

I haven't driven it since Sunday -- damn rainy forecast all week.

I'm really loving it. I'm researching LS1 tuners in the Dallas area cuz I've read it can be easily (and relatively inexpensively) tuned to get another ~20WHP/TQ and quicker shifting, etc.

Since it's a lease, that's all I can really do to it without a lot of hassle.

Glad to hear that your still lovin it.

Yeah, tuning will give you about that. You can still do exhaust and intake a little stuff like that though.
