Haha was there to pick something up so didn't really have time to look around. We should have a meet before the first snowfall.

 

If it keeps getting colder we might have to have a meet with my winters on haha.

 

Some douchebag shot at my wife's Pilot with a BB gun (by the look of it). Happened while she was parked at a school. Started as just a dent, but eventually the paint started flaking away. The damage is on the rear driver-side door; he was likely aiming for the window, but has pathetic aim.






While I'm getting that done, since they'll have to remove the bumper, I'll likely have the bumper itself replaced as well. It was deeply gouged when we bought the car. Since the bumper is plastic, and won't rust, it hasn't been a priority.

 

I think I saw you down 127th last week too haha, ride is looking clean.

 

hey guys IM going to UC tonight at like 9-10 ish if anyones down , it is hot out so should be fun

 

Oh shoot, i was at UC but was there at like 7:30 lol. Dang well hopefully have a meet sometime soon, I'd be down.

 

meet this weekend? im back in town for abit.

part of my trunk latch snapped somehow FML
looks like an easy DIY tho.

 

I'm down, Sunday at the Timmies at UC? For your trunk latch, if anything I'm sure you can bring it to Wai at Jasper Autoworks to help you fix it.

 

i fixed it myself, $113 in parts, dealer they wanted $140 for labour, that took me 10mins to do LOL

Wai just did a bunch of things on my car
wheel alignment, oil change, tranny fluid, rear main seal, timing belt/tensioner, ball joint replacement, serpentine belt, cabin filter and brakes.
Cars running pretty good haha

 

Nice haha, any more people down for a meet?

 

i feel like no one goes on the forum anymore haha

battery went yesterday, probably cause i kept letting it die when the trunk was constantly open and the light was always on.
went with a kirkland battery from costco, hopefully it holds up well.
those Acura batteries are a shit show

 

Im down, only problem is that i finish work around 6:30 so i'll be arriving late

 

I'm surprised that Kirkland makes one for you. The battery for the 4G must be different. When mine went a year ago, I had to get one of the Walmart batteries (only place open on a Sunday night). Seems to have worked okay so far.

 

Johnson Controls make both kirkland and everstart batteries!
whats the 4G size? mines 24F group

 

Not certain...I thought it was 24F. But when I went to Costco, they didn't have the size i needed, and the guy who handles batteries said that my size only came in during the summer months as a marine type battery. Said it wouldn't be ideal for Edmonton winters.

 

Meet sunday??

 

Does anyone here in Edmonton know of a good place to get my Nav DVD drive repaired? My screen doesn't work at all (stays backlit, just blank). I installed another screen with the same result, so it's not the screen unit. I can't change any settings or the clock, which is extremely annoying!

 

Any body have a parts hook up at either southview or westside acura im going to be be ordering alot of parts, and i really dont want to get boned

 

broke a wheel stud yesterday trying to switch my rims over, anyone know what it usually cost to replace one?

 

Is anyone going to the season closer at UC? Would love to meet you guys. Also, there's the pre-meet at fort edmonton park if anyones down. Lemme know!

 

dude, just saw your IG
that plastidip is sick!!

 

Thanks man ! I appreciate it

 

meets are probably done this season unless you guys make another one,
TLs probably staying in Calgary until next spring but I would love to see it in person someday you plan on getting the aspec anytime soon?

 

I really want to. Too expensive for me to buy new from the states. Trying to see if someone would sell it to me used and that is not going so well right now 😅

 

ya with how weak our dollar is too, i got real lucky and got it $700 shipped to my door with Curry Acura back when they still delivered to Canada

 

Damn thats a great price ! Wanna sell me yours

 

This thread has been quiet for too long, so I thought I'd add something.

We ended up taking my wife's Pilot to Topline for the body damage (see earlier in the thread), and I have to say, they did really nice work. Rates were reasonable, and the fellow I dealt with there (Alan) really worked with me to make sure everything was completed smoothly. I would definitely recommend them (though hopefully, the current status of the road notwithstanding, none of you needs a body shop any time soon).

 

Hey guys I'm looking for some winter tires possibly rims and wondering if anyone has suggestions for brand/model and also for places with a decent price.
My current stock wheels on my 12 TL awd are the all season 245/45r18. I could either throw some winters on those and get some nice summer rims or buy separate winters and just use those rims for summer (cheaper but boring). Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Also wondering if I use winters on my stock 18s if they would perform significantly worse than 225s on 17 inch rims. I know smaller and more narrow is usually better for winter. Thanks !

 

whats your price range?
I'd would personally buy winter tires for the stock and buy some summer rims when the time comes.

Costco best price, people always say tirerack etc etc but with our low dollar/shipping + I've heard of people receiving slightly USED tires from them, Costco from what i've seen personally is cheapest.

I personally run Michelin - X-Ice Xi2s for the last 3 seasons and I love them! I think the current model is the Michelin - X-Ice Xi3s. Also $70 rebate if you buy a set of 4 right now.

 

Yea I was planning on going with the new x ice tires no matter what, nothing but good reviews about them. Costco is on the top of my list. I could put x ice on my 18 inch stock rims for $1100 from Costco or I could get a separate set of winters 17 inch with x ice from acura dealer for $1500. Then I could sell the stock wheels with almost new all season tires on them. not sure which route to go. Either way I'm thinking I want to buy some nice 5 spoke rims this spring for summer driving

 

Costco also has the best price that I've seen for summer/winter changeovers, but you can only get them to do it if one or both sets are bought through them. Unfortunately, they don't have a tire storage program, and it appears they still don't take appointments for changeovers; only first come, first serve.

 

Unfortunately the rebate isn't applicable at Costco:

promotion

 

thats fair, condiering they are a membership warehouse, why would they service you for cheaper if you didnt buy their tires.
fcfs isnt bad if you do it early before every idiot that waits until a huge snowfall, i've had mine on since thanksgiving weekend.

on the negative side, i'm pretty positive that costco is the one that cross threaded my lugs... also i asked them to patch a flat when i changed over, and all i got was "FLAT" written on the tire, needless to say, tire was flat when I went to put on the winters...

yes it is, even says right on their website....

 

could be hard to sell stock '12 TL rims so you can consider that.
thats pretty expensive from the dealer, considering the price differences when you go from 18 to 17

 

From http://www.michelin.ca/promotions.page:

 

its an instant $70 off at Costco, no need to mail in a rebate to michelin

 

Ah ok, nice even better.

 

Hello people, how's it going? Any 2016 TLX SH-AWD owners here?

 

Hey everyone how's it going? Haven't been on this forum in a long, long time. Put my TL away for the winter as I got myself a SUV to drive.

Curious to see if anyone is interested in buying (4) stock 04-06 TL wheels with TPMS installed. They are in good condition and would be great as a winter set, which I had used for 2 winter seasons. The TPMS sensors were only used for 2 winters.

I also have a blizzak ws80 tire that was used for 1 winter season, size 235/45/17. I have 3 other blizzak ws60 tires but they didn't seem to hold air when it was really cold out. Not sure what's up with that but I would sell them for significantly cheaper. If anyone is interested, please message me.

 

holly where did you guys come from. back on azine
