Hey, I have always read this forum when looking for info but this is my first post... I have a 01 Acura 1.7El here in E-town, and I am looking for a new hood. I was in an accident a while ago, I never got around to fixing it because I was driving my 98EL instead, then last week that got stolen

So now I got to get the 01 on the road.
Do you guys have any idea if there are aftermarket ones? or a online Parts store I can get one?

I have been looking for a while can't seem to find anything. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

i see Justins old TL all the time on northside now lol

 

and the old brake pads....

 

Talk to Curtis at Black Gold Auto Imports in Nisku, he might be able to source you something out.

 

Finally I'm not the only one with slotted rotors!

 

Had mine since last year. haha

 

Had mine for almost 2 years! haha

 

Decided to remove both mid mufflers. Thinking I might add a resonator. Its alot louder in the video than it is in person!

 

@Sanjay - is that the stock exhaust?

 

Stock minus the two mufflers in the middle of the system removed.

 

Whats up all?
So im having some issues with my clutch.
It seems to be slipping but only in 4th and 5th when trying to pass someone and i put the pedal down.
Does this mean that i need to replace the clutch? or could there be some gremlin causing this? any ideas.

Also at Darkness, that sounds bad ass!

 

How many km;s on your car? Original clutch? Good chance that you need a new one. Higher gears have the most load so which would cause the slipping.

 

I've officially been plasti dipped =), results are awesome. Not fully done yet though still have some parts to black out and nite shade out my tailights.

 

Looks awesome Arenham! I actually saw the post on facebook and knew it was you ;p
I'm really curious about the matte finish though. Does it allow dirt to cling to the car more easily? Let me know. I'll eventually get my car dipped, probably next year.

Also, anyone take their TL down to Castrol for Drag night? Was there last night and got super stoked! Saw some cars posting really high 14's. Under optimal conditions apparently the TL-S 6MT can hit 14.1, but that's just paper. I'm hoping to head down there soon and see what numbers I can hit. It'll give me some kind of a baseline to compare to when I get a cat-back.

 

For now its been dryed for about 24 hours but dirt and grime doesn't cling easily, nor does water. Its like its waxed. But I'll keep you posted more on how dirty things get when the plasti dip has had more time to cure.

 

@aaron - looks good man! did you do it yoursef?

 

@edmTSX - He got it done by Custom Creations

 

anyone down for meet soon?
everyone seem to have a few new things done and maybe meet a few new members.

 

@aaron - Looks good!

Here's how my car sits right now. Thinking of getting rid of the wheels for a set of concave style wheels and a set of 17's.

 

Yeah I agree we should have a meet for the summer. Maybe shoot for a saturday coming up before heritage days if thats not too soon?

 

How about the 27 cause im pretty sure the sat after that is heritage days no?

 

Original clutch, 145 000 kms on it.
So i figure its time to replace it anyway.

 

I am at 178km, original clutch and is still holding. I sometimes shift without the clutch to get more Km out of it!! I know am cheap! why replace something when I can ride it out all the way! haha. where you planning on getting it done? shop around for sure and i might be able to hook you with a mechanic who knows what he is doing!

Regarding the meet, I think sat or sun evenings work for everyone. Set the time and start a list.

If anyone is able to shed some light on the issue in the link above, it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I got nothing better to do, I'd be down for a Saturday meet.

Probably gonna throw my wheels up for trade/ sale soon, looking for a set of 17x8's with a +30 offset.... time to run a meaty and aggressive setup haha.

 

working bro!

 

Aaron that looks awesome, Came out better than I thought it would

 

MAN THIS IS DIFFICULT

lol

looks like im meeting myself lol

well im available st and sun 12-8
so when is anyone else good to good

 

Oh I'm down for a meet. Can we do any earlier like 4:30PM?

 

Im busy this weekend. Lol. Summer is always hard to have a meet. Wed nights would probably work for most people.

Time for some TL maint. Doing my inner/outer tie rods, both upper ball joints and control arms, lower ball joints, replacing a damaged wheel stud, and have to replace my brembo caliper because the threads are completely stripped from being over tightened. That was a 460 dollar kick in the nuts. Along side a new ABS sensor that broke.

 

ohboy


and yea 4, 4:30 is perfect with me

 

sunday anytime from 12-8 works best for me or even Wednesday evening

 

I'll be able to make it tomorrow at 4:30! Maybe we can even go for a cruise or something?
Lets hope more people come, it'll be hard to schedule a meet in the coming weeks due to people being busy and vacations!

 

so is the meet happening? looks like only 2 people are so far..

 

I should be able to meet tonight or tomorrow! Finally got a solid weekend off. Gone camping next weekend and to BC the weekend after that >_>

 

Yeah we'll be meeting at 4:15 today at the United Cycle Tim Horton's.

 

there will not be many of us but it will still be fun i havnt seen yall in a while

 

see whoever around 4ish

 

Yeah its a bit gloomy out today but I'll still be there. I really wanna get a good glimpse of what a 4G TL is really like.
