HeatbagTL

car looks good ricky, did u buy those wheels locally? lol looks like u running a 40 offset just like me. im looking to go aggressive for my next set in the future. 19x8.5 f 19x9.5 rear 30 ish offset.

riicky

no i dont work at TC. your mistaken, i havnt been to the safeway side for a while and thanks

riicky

@heatbagTL...thanks buddy. no i drove to calgary on sunday and picked them up. there 19, 8.5 and 35 offset to clear the brembos on the front.
were all thinking of meeting at southgate or one of the parking lots at UofA...

Darkness.

I cant drive untill my staples come out, so 2 weeks at least.
We will see about the wheels, Im actually a huge fan of the 5zigens on the TL lol. If I end up ordering coilovers right away, the TL will be singing "happy birthday TO THE GROUND"

you are gonna have to roll fenders for that setup.

myron

iTrader: (4)

what coilovers did you end up getting? And from where? I probably shouldn't even be asking this because of my financial situation but I am entertaining the idea haha

HeatbagTL

yup im aware of that. seems like 8 inch widths on this car looks too small haha.

myron

iTrader: (4)

yup haha 8" is very small. 8.5 is what I went with because i found m wheels used but if I went new I would look into the same set up as you, 8.5 front and 9.5 back for 19s. And for 18s, 8x9 front and rear 8x9.5or10, both low 30s offset.

Darkness.

I havent ordered any yet. Im looking into those HT spec, function and form coilovers. Wicked price from Heeltoeauto

What ever wheels I end up buying for the TL will be 19x9.5 and probably in the +30 range

all around ???

Yea people say those are both good coils. No complaints from anyone. What's gay is the shipping on those, 250$ + duties and tax.

tsxsingh

thats so weird, the car looked exactly like yours, same tinted tails and rims looked the same! lol

tsxsingh

i saw 2 tsx's with rims parked close to my work, one was tinted all around with tinted tails, other one just had rims, so i wrote up a note to join the group here n put it on their windshields... lol thats soo creeperish but we need more ppl esp tsx's lol

HeatbagTL

Theres a ton of tl and tls in the city. Many of them have aftermarket wheels etc but not many are enthusiasts or into the meet/club/forum thing. I have 5 friends with 3rd gens but none of them are on here haha

edmua6

@raj, haha. i hope they make an account here.

@heatbag, tell them to come with you this saturday, it's only once a year

So jbond replied to my pm and he is down for the pre meet. iChinese is not yet sure because he needs to replace his break pads.

So if anyone knows someone with an 06+ Civic Si Sedan (FA5) or Acura CSX Type-S (FD5), my exhaust is officially up for sale. Details can be found here: http://forums.780tuners.com/showthread.php?t=133156

here are the pics from the mini meet on sunday...

Darkness.

You know it! haha, someones gotta break the ice around here.
The TL below is running 19 x 8.5 +25 225/35 Front and 19 x 9.5 +29 235/35 Rear, with a 9.5 up front and same offset/tire it will be hella tight as it will push the wheel out further, and perfect fitment for me.




Arthur, what is your wheel specs? The car looks great. Keep up the good work.

Rajvir, werent you saying that you needed a new bumper cuz you smashed yours? Looks like all you need is a simple respray. If anything, get a can of milano red spray paint and paint over the damaged area to make it less noticable.

edmua6

^ 18x8 + 13 225/40/18, 18x9 + 23 255/35/18. Next summer, I'll probably get skinnier tires for the rear so I could run wider spacers.

tsxsingh

yeah i called acura today, my sales guy gonna get me the touch up paint, the bumper is actually broken in, its not tooo baddd from a far, touch up paint will defo help alot, hopefully i can do it b4 sat if i get time..

tsxsingh

@ ricky, that 2nd pic from the meet looks sick! haha im glad we all had washed cars
all i need is a detail job now, clay bar and power polish! anyone up for it?? :p

edmua6

^ I'm actually thinking of detailing my car. lol. Raj, you should debadge your car and take off the dealer plates

v|nsan|ty

Damn I want to go to this meet lol. Too bad I'm a few hundred km's away. I will be there in spirit haha.

^ If you guys are interested in getting details, I recently got into car detailing. I've posted 2 links to threads of me and my buddy's recent work if you haven't noticed.

tsxsingh

that M3 you did? thats your bro right? i know him lol, he worked at bell with me in south common, he msgd me yesterday showing me pix lol,
when ur back from vacation get my number from Jason and lemi know a price, i'd just want the outside done.

v|nsan|ty

Lol what a small world. The price will be dependent on the condition of the paint and what level of correction you want done. I'll further contact you when I return.

edmua6

^ I just want the outside done too, let me know if you are back in town

hey vincent, did you leave yet? I am slowly doing the paint chip fill up using the toothpick method. It's a pain in the ass cuz there is so many paint chips but it's starting to look good. Well it's gonna look better than having rust spots everywhere.

iChinese

FML GUYS! look what happen when i did brakes today...



the bolt broke off from the caliper, i went to the local autostore and ordered the bolt, they said they wont have that bolt till monday! now i won't be able to go to the meet

Haha yeah I've been in Seattle since Tuesday. The weather here blows. Rain everyday and colder than Edmonton. Hopefully when I make my way up to Vancouver next week it will be a bit better.

Hey some of you that have seen my car, what do you think I should ask for it if I were to sell it? I am looking at prices on kijiji and for a 04-06 TL they go between $14k-$20k, depending on km and all. I got 150km

edmua6

^ i checked some of the TLs that are for sale. I'm guessing low 15s high 14s? I could be wrong. Lol

Sanjay, there is a set of Tein SS for sale at our bm. He is in Canada too, just letting you know

So final plans for tomorrow?
