what kind of rotors and pads u get? do them ur self or got them done? i due for a brake job all round...what else did u pick u? :P
im sure i can do it myself, but i have a habit of destroying shit and making things worse when it comes to cars..

i only replaced the rear rotors and pads. went to parts source and picked up some oem style parts. didnt wanna "aftermarket" cause my car is nothing special yet haha. i was in calgary last weekend, found a gift store, so i ended up buying useless interior accessories for my car hahaha.. air freshener, ricer acura seatbelt pads and domokun headrests!

True I thought it would sound a lot louder. For the second video I wouldn't have been able to tell the intake resonator was removed.

What is the purpose of an injen short ram? Is it a safer alternative in comparison to a CAI?

Higher up so you dont suck in water if you dont know how to drive, inhales warm air instead of true cold air. No real benefit to it other than it makes alot more noise. Which is what the ricer in me wants

weird that yours doesn't make as much noise. Mine is pretty loud. Sanjay you asked me if I had an exhaust on my car when I came to pick up the side markers, that means you heard it too haha

Generally I wouldnt agree with the manual statement, because autotragic hondas are stupid loud and go no where, but my car is moderately loud.

Do base TL's have the same factory cold air pipe as TL-s's?

most likely the same piping and everything. the only thing that might make it sound diff when compared to mine and myrons is that we used some of the resonator piping and made a ram air setup

do you daily drive that 240? If so, then props to you man. I scrape here and there on bumps and some speed bumps as low as I am but being that slammed I know I would leave half my car on a speed bump haha

When you drop the TL I have a camber kit for you for the back. Let me know

This previous weekend resulted in another detail. However, it wasn't completed by me Unfortunately I worked the entire weekend, I'll be going 2 weeks without a day off! Luckily there is a long weekend coming up but that just means we get to fit another car in for detailing. Enjoy:

Anyone here knows a good mechanic that does side jobs? One of my stud is cross threaded and I need to replace it. Good news is I called Acura and they are selling the stud 8$ a piece. Bad news is it will cost 200$ for the labour. lol. There goes my PCDS
