Yea kijiji, why? Your friend?

That guy in the MDX is in Civil isn't it? If so, he used to drive a lowered 3G TL. He bought his MDX the same time I bought my RDX in West Side Acura.

Jriddle8

Yup thats him.

@jdm4dr - Hey, how much would it cost for me to buy that front grille off of you?

EdmTSX

Anybody know anything about, repair for a cylinder misfire, and changing spark plugs, my car makes kind of a juke motion, west side acura told me it's going to be about 1500$, anyone got any ideas on another fix

myron

iTrader: (4)

Changing spark plugs isn't hard, it's time consuming but not hard at all, i did it on my TL and it look a few hours tops. if that's the only thing that's causing misfire. What did the dealership tell you what's wrong with the car? just spark plugs or is there more? Maybe coil pack is bad too, not hard to replace at all while doing spark plugs but parts are couple hundred $ I believe

Siidhu

The 2nd cylinder is misfiring they think it's because something got to do with the valve timing or something, I'm selling the car, but just incase I might need to get it fixed

edmua6

yes sir!

myron

iTrader: (4)

if the timing is off, then that's a different story. I wouldn't mess with it since I know nothing about it. But if it's spark plugs or coil packs, that's pretty simple. you can find a DIY here on this site and just follow that

Siidhu

Thanks Myron

riicky

what you taking at Nait bro?

I work at Volvo on Calgary Trail.

Jriddle8

Civil Engineering Technology, same as the owner of that MDX.

EdmTSX

@Jordan - Oh nice, are you sales? lol

Silence*

Nah, I work detail. Most of the time just drive all the cars around though.

riicky

I am there to until dec 20.

you8myrice

the TL's handling awesome so far in this snow!!

Jriddle8

What are you taking riicky? Im there till december 13

Siidhu

How are the tl's in the snow, my dads telling me to sell my TL because it's to low for the winter, anyone think this is true ?

myron

iTrader: (4)

I drove a lowered TL in the winter haha Stock height, no it's not too low, it's a regular car. But I do like driving my FX in this weather better than I did my TL

Siidhu

That's all good then, he's telling me the bottom of the car is going to get scraped in the snow, it would've been better if the type s were awd

edmua6

You won't have a problem if you have dedicated winter tires. I drove my lowered TL for 2 winter seasons with Nokian Hakk R. I drove from Terwillegar to NAIT almost every day and never had a single problem.

Siidhu

Good to know thanks, and I have paint chips on my hood anyone know the best way to get rid of em, repainted or 3m? I can post some pics but have no idea how

you8myrice

thanks myron for telling jaddy about the shell gas prices!
$45 to fill my tank up full! unheard of haha

myron

iTrader: (4)

no problem man, my fill up was 78$, but I had 13km left of that tank haha

also did you see me yesterday, or maybe that was today? On Ozerna I honked at you, almost right in front of your house

you8myrice

nope, didnt see or hear the honk! lol
if im already in the car, i probably wont hear it, i always have the music blasting, dont even hear sirens most of the time

myron

iTrader: (4)

haha all good man. What was that vendor on ebay you got the roof vinyl from? I am looking to order some Black Brushed Aluminum vinyl for my interior pieces. I have brushed aluminum the real stuff, but it scratches and dents very easily so I wanna cover it up.

you8myrice

http://stores.ebay.com/AutoVinylSolutions

http://autovinylsolutions.com/

i ordered thru their ebay

myron

iTrader: (4)

their shipping is ridiculous tho, it's OK for larger pieces, but I need 5sqft and shipping is as much as vinyl

you8myrice

i got a 5x6 and it was only around $80/85 total w/shipping and that covered duties/customs.

they must of changed their shipping or something, i also dont remember them having "import charges" before


theyres a new vendor on here that does 3M vinyl, maybe his prices will be better?

v|nsan|ty

Wow haven't been on in a while. Nice to see a lot of new members are chiming in.

How's everyone drive been these past few days? In residential areas I felt like a snowplow but main roads are cleared so it was all good.

@Siidhu - Get the dr.color chip kit. It gives good results for the effort required. If you're looking for even better results, you'd be looking at wetsanding the areas after you've applied multiple layers of paint and compounding then finishing it with a finer polish. Really depends on how much time, money, and effort you're willing to put forth.

Siidhu

Just paid 1200$ at west side acura to get a cylinder misfire repair, valve adjustment, coil pack and new spark plugs, probably not going to worry about the hood until summer , thanks though I will keep that in mind

riicky

I am in my last year or heavy equipment tech (aka heavy duty mech)

Driving in this snow is easy! My 4 banger is awesome in the snow! plows thru anything!!

ArenHam

Driving is fun, drift every single corner I can find lol.

Bad thing is though, my girlfriend knocked off my rear driver passenger door cover (the door trim that doesn't move when you pull the handle). It looks like the little plastic clip is broken, it still fits back on just not snug. And my car is plasti dipped, so ordering a new cover would be OCD for me cause it wouldn't match (and I don't have time to re-dip). Anyone know a quick fix, I was thinking some adhesive tape and super glue.

EDMGenerTL

Whats up fellow Acurans.
so since the cold hit, my check engine light came on.
all fluids are good. so i dunno what the issue could be.
any thoughts?

Kumho studded winters go on tuesday, and bumper gets replaced on December 2nd.
Cant wait to have my baby repaired. Stupid Genesis owner.
lol
how is everyone liking the winter so far?
i love driving in winter conditions.
so much fun!!!

Jriddle8

Winter driving is so much fun. But can barely wash the car with this cold.

I am having a blast in my SUV haha it's a huge difference from driving lowered TL, to driving a regular SUV. Also my AWD system is not always on, it shuts off after take off so it's RWD most of the time and I get to drift in it too :-P
