I also saw a TL-S part out a couple weeks ago. I was going to buy his side mirrors but he stopped replying to me. We already agreed on a price but never replied after. Oh well.

My white delivery truck dropped my TL-S front sway bar(new bushings, new links) today. I'll try to get it installed tomorrow. Time to put the rsb to stiff settings.

Damn you're just going through these mods like nothing. Are you going to upgrade your brakes? Did you buy a set of aluminium pedals? They add a nice touch to the interior.

edmua6

^lol. I'll probably stop buying mods for now, I'm expecting a photo radar ticket. 80 in a 50 zone. I'm going to need a break job for sure. I'm going to buy from brakemotive.

^ holly shit you and JBond must be competing who has the most mods on their car ahaha

he doesn't post here much but his car is loaded with mods it seems

edmua6

^ haha. My extra money revolves around my car. It's almost dead end tho. Other than forced induction and interior mods.

FORCED INDUCTION FORCED INDUCTION FORCED INDUCTION FORCED INDUCTION!!!

haha you should supercharge it.

do your headlights, and get some cold cathode for license plate lights if you don't have that. I don't know what else you can do. Maybe type s mirrors?

BBK time!!! If not you can get hawk hps pads or EBC red stuff.personally I don't think my ebc yellow stuff ever warms up enough other than the track days.If you do intend to track then upgrade to a bbk for sure.ive had my rotors glowing bright red before and they didn't fade.on the stock base brakes I think I would have died already.

I've tried the hawk before my ebc's,found they actually hold up ok after repeated stops from 140km/h to about 50km/h for about 8 laps.EBC however will not fade at all even when the rotors are ready to melt!!

edmua6

^ I'm not going to bring my car to the track but I want something beefier than the 5AT brakes for sure. We shall see, I just hope I don't get the speeding ticket I'm expecting. Haha


I'm interested about that cathode mod. How hard was it?

Canadian Mike

Lol Arthur with all the performance mods you've done, I'm surprised getting a radar detector wasn't one of the first items on your list.

Here is a DIY for the cold cathode. I'll most likely be doing it in the spring since my LEDs aren't cutting it compared to the potential light output of the cathodes.

myron

iTrader: (4)

Everyone always does their headlights and side markers and all other lighting, but cold cathode really lights up the rear of the car. If you have switchbacks in the front, front is lit up well, but back isn't, I think that looks weird.

ANY ONE INTERESTED IN A WDP aspec front (used small crack) and BRAND NEW REAR FOR 350

Awe Mitch did you put your TL up for sale on kijji? Looks familiar.

riicky

so what does everyone use for oil and oil filters in their acuras?

edmua6

^I always go to Southview Acura and ask them to put sythentic oil.

riicky

^they charge to much for an oil change! i always do it myself..

riicky

saw myrons 3rd gen TL on whyte ave tonight...still in the same shape and same mods, nothing new.

myron

iTrader: (4)

hahaha nice that means that it still lives. The new owner seemed like a terrible driver so I thought it might have been crashed by now.

and oil, Amsoil full synthetic and amsoil 25 000mile filter. Change it every 15000km

edmua6

^I've always wondered what's the status of your 3G now.

I know how to change an oil too (I work at kaltire every saturday), but I bring it to Southview just so they won't void my warranty until 2013.

v|nsan|ty

I use Amsoil 0W-20 Synthetic and an Amsoil filter rated for 15k miles. I change it way earlier than recommended though, whenever the MID reminds me my oil life is <10%. I change oil probably 3 times a year. I've switched my other fluids with Amsoil as well, drain and filled my power steering fluid a few times, did a 3x3 for my ATF, and plan to do another 1x3 once I switch my 3rd and 4th gear pressure switches.

Link to filter http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/eao.aspx

I usually try to avoid going to the dealership, I prefer going to private shops. I wouldn't be surprised if their "synthetic" is one of the lowest grades. They probably don't use full synthetic oil either since there wouldn't be as much profit. For timing belt, I'll just go to Wilson's Auto Tech instead.

6 more weeks and my car is stock :-( I had some wheels that I was thinking of putting on the car but I sold them to a friend because he really wanted them. If I find some cheap coils I might just slam it on stock wheels and ride dirty haha unless my transmission explodes

edmua6

^I hope you can find a used coils in the blackmarket. Or or, you can always cut the springs. lolol. How many km's on the 2G now? Still running strong?

v|nsan|ty
