Long time guys! Been super busy working, lol. If I'm not working Sunday I should be down for a meet. Since I've done my exhaust and had lots of time to drive, I've definitely noticed way more torque steer and even had wheel spin shifting to second.
On another note, I'm thinking my clutch is starting to wear out. Pedal becomes very stiff after high rev shifting (around 6k), or the gear takes awhile to grab. Is my hunch correct? If so, any suggestions on where to buy an OEM clutch at a decent price? West side acura quoted me $473 just for the parts, had no idea about labor. In addition, would replacing the flywheel be a good idea? If so, should I just stick with OEM or go aftermarket?
Thanks for the input guys, always appreciated!

@Myron - Sorry for the late reply. Nah didn't bother mounting the lip this summer. I kept procrastinating getting it painted. Then by the time July hit I figured it was pointless since winter was in a few months. I was planning on painting it and then putting 3M on since it's prone to damage.
For your seats, have you tried any basic leather cleaners yet? I'm doubtful they'll do much since those jean transfer marks are likely stubborn but it's worth a try. A great cleaner is "Leatherique Prestine Clean". Try that with a leather brush and see if it can remove the stain. You'll most likely need multiple applications and allow the cleaner to soak in since jean transfer stains deep into the leather. If not, try using steam if you have access to that. Mine died on me otherwise I'd offer some help.

No I haven't tried anything yet, I've been busy as well, always something coming up. I'll take a look at that stuff, I can swing by AutoOb. it's like 10 min away from my work and i will grab some. I don't expect it to be perfect but don't want my seats to be black and blue either. And if I don't try cleaning them, they will get worse and worse too
HAHAHAHA

I saw a silver 3G TL eastbound on yellow head by St. Albert trail earlier, lowered with polished wheels, a roof rack, and maybe an A Spec kit. Looked clean, anyone on here?

Hey guys, quick little question. Im picking up a HID kit for my fog lights, just kinda curious as to what color you guys have or would get? im aiming to either 3000k, 6000k or 8000k. MY hi/lo lights are 6000k.
@jdm4dr - I bought my TL bone stock about a month ago, so far ive just tinted the windows @ 35% all around and installed the OEM door visors. adding HID fogs this week as well
