GldCrzy, yea you really have to lookout for deals out there. There was a guy selling his roof spoiler for 50$. I called dibs but apparently, he didn't see my reply. lol.

Raj, that sucks, go get BBS! lol I've done some research and I don't think it damages your engine if you installed it properly. lol.

Vince, I got mine from bm.

here you go buddy, for shipping is not gonna be cheap, and refinishing the wheels won't be cheap but these are authentic BBS wheels and perfect size and offset for your car

Haha, I'd only rock AME Shallen's on the 240.

The TL looks soo offf to me now with the stock wheels, I was used to the wide ass that the 17x10 +25's gave me

Arthur, I would if I could. I can barely work on my own cars with my bad knee, let alone other peoples car.

Anyone got a spare passenger side axle? Mines starting to make noise. This week would be one year since I got my car. Bought it with 75k on it...It has 119 on it now! I drive wayy too much...44K in one year...when the average is 25k

It's all good man! You should throw some spacers for your stockies! And lower it as well if you are going to change the axle :P

oh i finally got the interior 5p led set, installed them, looks good, also got the reverse hid 1W bulbs, but the assholes sent me the wrong bulb.. im pretty choked! waited 2 months for these, they claimed they shipped them out right away b4 and they must have gotten lost in the mail, yet they didn't send me any emails saying there shipped, sooo thats shady, emailed and complained after a month n a half, they shipped it again with "a few extra bulbs" which was only 1, and 1 doesnt even work, stupid ebay assholes! ugh! just emailed them again abt the hid bulbs, hopefully they ship them out asap.... if i can keep them the bulb number is 194, there too big to fit in the hole (yes im expecting someone to say something about that lol) sooo i'll see if they fit my buddy's rsx if not, it'll be up for grabs... for a tiny fee.. :p

oh nice. I'd like to see those HID reverse lights. Did you have to do anything special to the housing? All I've got are LED interior, license plate and reverse lights off ijdmtoy. Should also mention I have alpine door speakers and JL 6x9s in the back..

Welcome EdmTSX!

I've seen a few 'modded' acuras lately, one silver tsx with an exhaust and rims, one white tsx with cf hood, yellow fogs, and rims, and one white 3G TL with RJ kit slammed with rims going south on highway 2.

My good friend Ryan Richards of 12volt wizard can do it for you. I would offer, as I've done it on my old tsx before, but I cant :P

Other members on here can vouch for Ryan doing great work, for example "Riicky".

He has done wiring on my pathfinder, TL and 240sx

Lmao people are redefining lowball, one day at a time. Damn I visited the dealership yesterday to have some work done on my car. After I left, I was well over $300 in the hole and was reminded my timing belt needs to be changed soon as well. FUUUUU!

yea man I suggest you find an independent shop to do it or else you are looking at 1200$ from the dealership. Or if you know somebody that can do it that would be better. I think that the whole timing belt kit is 300$, 330$ shipped to you I think that's what I was quoted from a vendor on this site. That's pretty cheap considering everyone else wants 600$ locally. And make sure you do the water pump too.

Yeah I think I got a quote for around $700-800 for the timing belt. Not bad I guess.




On the other hand, I've finally done the write-up for my personal vehicle. Here is a preview shot
