Yeah sure, I'm down for a meet be nice to see what everyone is up to.

@dctls08 - if you have facebook, which I assume you do join the Acura Generation 3 group, theres a guy in the group called Bruce Oswiak, he owns a shop called EndlessRPM, he literally focuses on Acura TL's. He can get parts for cheap and quick from what I hear, so give him a message.

I'm dowm for a meet.
Bruce doesn't ship packages to canada any more. I got lucky with my roof spoiler from him.

side note: installed my switch backs today. Looks good.

EdmTSX

May 18th is during the May long weekend, I may be out of town. Will keep you guys updated haha.

How I look now, still more to come lol

you8myrice

isnt ack Bruce tho?

ArenHam

Haha I have no idea they were related lol never got his name.
Funny story reason why I love the 4G more now, still miss my 3G but I was on the henday and this 07 TL-S pulled up next to me, we're both going 110. Race ensues, I double down shift into 3rd from 5th and instantly destroy him. Gotta love the SH-AWD and the extra HP.

so lets say 5 at tims on sunday the 18th?....
also anyone want to buy an amazing mono amp
ALPINE PDX M6 660 rms retail for 670 for sale for 350 BRAND NEW never used
just need it gone

sockpuppet

But...and I love my 4G too...there's a thread in the 4G section about a guy who tried the same thing against an ILX. The ILX has less hp than the 4G, but apparently the governer is set a touch higher. Didn't turn out so well.

EdmTSX

I'll most likely be in Calgary during the long weekend, take some pics of the meet!

you8myrice

wouldnt the 4G be way gone before either cars even hit the governers ?

Sejanus

I'm down for a meet this Sunday, not going anywhere for this long weekend.

sockpuppet

Ahead, probably. Way gone...likely not. The ILX is quick, and a lot lighter.

also AWD doesn't mean anything at higher speed, if anything is takes away from it

ArenHam

Anyways, meet this sunday? Say 5pm at Tims?

Sejanus

Spotted: White TL with blue rims heading North on 178th by Canadian Tire. Super clean, black badges and trunk spoiler. Anyone know the driver?

dctls08

ArenHam

Plasti-dipped it? If you did looks good!

myron

iTrader: (4)

^ yea plastic dip then plastic dip clear and dried it with heat gun so there is less roughness. Turned out really well. I could redo the FX35 badge but I just might remove it

need help on headlights bud. What you doing this weekend?

sockpuppet

Speaking of headlights, I just picked up two replacement HID bulbs, as my passenger side went out. But when I brought the car in to Auto Details to get the fender damage worked on (they did nice work, byt the way...I'll post some picks once i can wash it), I noticed the passenger side housing was full of condensation. Looks like I need a new one. Who in town would you guys recommend for getting that done?

07NBP-S

For those who ordered a jpipe, where did you get it installed? Not mechanically inclined so looking for a reputable shop that will install it for me. Preferably in the west or south.

myron

iTrader: (4)

you wanna replace the headlight because there is condensation in there? you could dry it out with a vacuum I am pretty sure

ArenHam

I bring my stuff to a place called Brookview Auto Service, clean place and good staff. They're located just off whitemud on 50 street, near the Leons. My car is there now as we speak...

EdmTSX

Try contacting, westmount auto or TT Auto. Both are located in the west end. They are usually pretty busy tho.

sockpuppet

I'd need to do that after every wash. There's a small crack in the lens. Doesn't look like it would be a problem, but clearly it is. I suspect that's why the bulb died early (and those bulbs aren't cheap, either).

you8myrice

what was the total cost for your fender work if you dont mind me asking ?

sockpuppet

They fixed a chip in the rear driver door, and then repainted the damaged fender (rear driver) to like new. They did really nice work. Also took care of the minor pitting along the bottom of the body, right in from of the rear wheel. That was $1,000. For an extra $150, they did a couple of paintless ding repairs on the other side. Oh, and after they went all the way around and touched up any spots they saw, and left me with the leftover latex paint for future touch-ups.

I'll get some pics (before and after) up when I have a moment.

you8myrice

thats pretty good, i'll have to get a quote from them.


so i finally got around to putting rdx caliper covers on, but problems....
one lug wont come off no matter what i do, so now i only have a cover on one side....
also, lost my wheel lock key, bought another one for $25 from dealer, i somehow managed to strip it today... fml

Jriddle8

How hard is it to install those rdx calipers? Im tired of looking at my ugly rears.


Side note: Anyone know any good spots to take pictures at? be it day or dark out? Im trying to get some nice pics tomorrow.

thanks

ArenHam

@Jriddle8 - a good back drop/place to take pics is the parkade at NAIT. Usually no one parks on the top floor and you get can get a good view of downtown and the city airport.

So meet this sunday at 5pm at the Timmies just south of United Cycle?

i also really like Gallagher Park/Connors Hill, edmontons whole downtown skyline is beyond that hill !

Jriddle8

So I found a sick spot for pictures. I managed to snipe a couple from my phone.

ArenHam

Anyways hope to see you all tomorrow at 5 for the meet.

Jriddle8
