Probably 4-6 hours if we had multiple people.

Taking off bumper, taking headlights, and putting them back take about 45 minutes.

Suspension takes 2 hours each assuming 2 people per wheel. Taking rear seat is the longest thing and it takes 15 minutes.

So 3 hours x 2 = 6.

 

That's for one car only...what about multiple cars.. ?

 

I'm in Eagle pass coming home Friday...I can typically only do weekends & that's kinda limited to me seeing my little brother...lmk some kind of heads up & ill try & make some time...

 

Weekends usually work best for me too...

I just picked up my coilovers..decided to go with ISC coilovers..

 

<----1 man coilover install took me about 6 hours on my car.

4 people will take less than 4 hours assuming no problems.

 

Well let me know what yall wanna do. Im waiting on my loaner lights to come in

 

I wanna sit back & watch lol...I replaced every spring before had to compress & remove/replace ever spring that wasn't fun. ..It's not too bad just replacing the complete assembly...If everyone worked on one car at a time I don't think ya'll would finish...& where do ya'll plan to do it. ..I don't think my place would be good & we would have to be in the grass... like I said im down to lend a hand but I've already done it twice so I wouldn't want to do a whole install. ..

 

those with tein coils, whats a good recommended set up to just drop it to finger gap on stock wheels. i plan on doing this tomorrow with my cousin.

 

I would think just go as low as you can without rubbing tire no?...im sure you can get your tires to tuck under fenders without rubbing I dont know of ayone who would want a wheel gap on coilovers?...lol...

 

if it's just stock Wheels you shouldn't have any rub. Suggest dial them all the way down and work your way up. To the height you like

 

Probably the only thing you have to worry about is scraping your front bumper...

 

word!

 

Did you end up getting it installed? I plan on doing all of mind this upcoming week.

 

I got mine installed Saturday. It took about 6 hours, bc we used the stock hats and those were a pain in the ass to take off. Also for whatever reason the last one we did my rear passenger side wouldn't come out easy, so that added extra time. Overall I'm pretty happy with the look and feel of the ride, feels just as good as stock if not better. But now with a drop I definitely need to get wheels.

 

Pics? Let's see that drop!

 

Getting closer to getting a claim against the Yantis Construction Company for the damage on my wheels. Keeping my fingers that it gets resolved soon. Lucky I still kept my OEMs so that's what I'm having to roll with right now. Not a great look. I did find out that Vossen stopped making any more CV3's right now but plans are to start manufacturing them again in January. Guess they are making some changes to the design or just got backordered. Which gives me some time to get this settled. Either that or go with the CV7? or maybe the new VSF1's?

 

not a HUGE drop but enough for now, esp with these SA roads and it being my DD

shot from the other night

 

Very nice, now when I pull up next to you I don't have to look up! LOL!

 

Just got my alignment done at brake check... Needa get ball joints in the front and camber kit in the rear. They said parts and labor 1400. Wtffff

 

I lol'd when you said its not a huge drop.

that's lower than my car.

 

Looking good; just need some wheels now. ..I think that's too much; i'd look up part prices & look into installing yourself...

 

Planning on installing suspension, headlights, bulbs, PS O-ring, transmission sensors, and oil tomorrow. Hopefully I can finish in 6-7 hours. Got my steroid lumbar injection so it doesn't 'hurt' THAT much.

Then planning on setting up an appointment at Fernandez/Benson (forgot which one) for Timing Belt package for $895.

 

^^^where you gonna do the install^^^

 

Didn't seem that low I mean I don't really have issues with speed bumps and dips. Maybe it's bc I'm on stock 17's?

Def need wheels but I gotta wait till next year. Gotta get some use outta these tires bc I really doubt I'll get value for stock 17's. I wish they were the 18's and I'd be good for a while... But ya there's no way I'm paying 1.4k for parts and labor

What brands do you guys recommend for adjustable ball joints and camber kit? I need to be adjustable up to 3 degrees

 

Driving to Houston and doing it back at home.

 

Just get the rears. I only installed rhe rear (Ingalls camber kir) and my alignment is fine. I also use Brake Check (lifetime)!

 

What's up fellas. This is probably a longshot
But Ima ssk anyways. Is anybody by any chance doing a accord foglight mod on there car this weekend or is anybody willing to help me out forsome $$?

 

I've done it before really helps to have a dremel for that one... I can maybe help you out not sure what I got going this weekend. ..

 

I don't have a dremel but I can get a hold of one
I'm pretty sure I can take care of the cutting and sanding but I would really need help with the electrical part because I'm kinda scared to mess it up.lol
If you are able to help me out just let me know if and when it would be best time for you

 

Hi Guys, I am new to San Antonio and new to the Acura world. Just purchased a 2007 TL S a couple days ago from Houston. I was wondering if anyone of you guys have done the navigation hacks and if so would someone be willing to help me with it? I have also ordered the 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches so that I can replace them along with a trans fluid flush. If someone could help me with that also it would be great. I can give you some $$, or buy lunch, drinks, whatever. Thanks!

 

I've done the wiring before I can help out on tomorrow on Saturday just lmk... around noon would be good...I don't mind helping with drain & switches either bit if you have an auto you're supposedto do it like 3 ttimes. ..

 

Just picked up a 2011 RDX with Tech. Love the car so far.

I may need help next week to install rear suspension and to change height in front if anyone is down. :P

 

Thanks TL Luver. It is indeed an auto. I can handle the fluid and drain and fill on my own but thought it might be best to have someone who has done the switches before incase I run into issues.

 

I havent done the switches I sold them to a friend after selling my a/t 3g; but I believe they're easy to access & its literally unscrew and re screw. ..

 

The Pressure switches are real easy. If you need help lmk but it's easier than a oil change.

 

Is everyone down to go to C&C next Saturday?

Lets plan on going there and getting some lunch.

 

Thanks guys. I will try it out.
Do any of you guys know of locksmiths around the area? My TL only came with one key. I called Gunn Acura and they quoted me $300+ for a new remote/key. I was thinking of buying one from OEMAcuraparts and then just having it programmed and cut by a local locksmith.

 

^^^you can buy a blank one online and have acura cut it but I they think acura has to program it either way^^^

 

Yeah I called them to find out a price break down. They quoted around $140 just for programming and cutting. Talk about greedy.

 

i bought mine online blank, so gunn cut it free but would charge to program it, try taking it to honda and see if they can give you a better price. they should be able to do it...
