Not horrible. Probably need a new rear bumper/a spec kit because the bumper looks cracked in the middle.

Haven't heard from the adjuster yet, going to wait till tomorrow to call.

why do it at the dealer? you're going to get raped. and THEN you're worried about your mods?

under the magnuson-moss warranty act, a dealership cannot blame your aftermarket parts, unless it somehow caused the part in question to fail.

and and and and A CLUTCH ISNT COVERED under warranty...so, the dealers dont give a fuck about your mods....they do give a fuck about the large sum of money you're about to hand over tho

a clutch can be damaged from improper driving techniques.

the axles get damaged no matter what.

one is covered under warranty...and the other isnt.

p.s. autozone sells lifetime warranty axles. for less than $100.
and you are already a DIY kinda guy....

the clutch is a big job tho.
I had a shop change out my clutch for $400.

Either way they don't know if I was burning rubber all day and broke my axles myself either...& clutch is a given that it's going to wear out just like the axles as well...who knows if the other driver messed up the clutch before I bought it that's why you buy a warranty to cover s*** that breaks...I'm going to find out today for sure...there was a Camaro super sport at gun Chevy with bent valves 2012....now everybody knows he probably miss shifted into 3rd instead of fifthor something but they can't prove it...I made it very specific I wanted a warranty to cover my transmission and clutch weather they specificly on what I said or not I'm not sure but the last I heard it was $200 for anything that needs to be replaced...

sure they can prove the bent valves.
the ECU LOGS everything. the ECU will let them know that it was over-rev'd on what date and what time.

Does your dealership cover brake pads and rotors? because what you're telling me, they should. matter of fact, everything that is broken should be covered.

but its not.

yeah I did call them; that's why I am planning to drop it off today...I know were speculating but you are stating conflicting answers like axles are meant to wear out but those are covered clutch is meant to wear out but it's not covered there certain things are meant to wear out thats why you get coverage in the first place right..aside from the warranty that comes with a new car...I pretty much but the maintenance service warranty on on a used car...I'm not going on anything based on my low mileage...my warranty didn't come with the car I had to add that separate to my total...

I was told that I can take the car anywhere of my choice to have warranty work done even the Acura dealership...I just rather take it to the honda dealership I bought it from because last time acura marked every single detail cai even a tire size that was different...I don't want them to have on record that I have cai and pcds along with another one tire that's a size wider...

What if it rains or drizzles today?

Risk I have no choice but to take ihave all the screws/ bolts in labeled ziplock bags...worst case get everything put away let it rain & start again when its dry...most of the car is exposed to the elements daily anyway I'm not really that worried about it I've considered it...

its okay Justin are you doin speculate lol j/k...yeah I was planning on it but every other question about it seems they just separated and pull the pieces out so I was kind of hoping I could but the DIY I have dropped the whole subframee and transmission maybe I'll try opening it up and getting it up to the top before I actually take the subframe off idk...maybe you can call them and ask them if they were able to get it out from the top for sure or not?..




I don't even have parts yet I plan to order them Monday when I get paid...I'm hoping to receive them Wednesday and plan by then to have it ready to just set them in there and close everything up....I'm just doing little by little now so I don't have to do the complete job in one whole day with parts sitting there and anxious to drive again...

lol its all good im not worried about it il see if i can first maybe it will definitely save a lot of time; but it would probably make it easier to screw everything back down right to drop it...


lol i didnt know if it was maybe a buddy mechanic or just a random shop... i definitely want to get one a little beter than stock but not trying to spend a grip!...
