@ vince - Yea there is some splash back, is the Sonax wheel cleaner the best option to clean wheels?

 

Finally got myself one of these!

 

It was an oem replacement bumper, mine had a chunk missing out of it. Now time for new fogs, and aspec kit

 

looking good! nice paint job on the bumper. how is the paint match...btw those tires still holding up...lol

 

The paint match was decent, the car needs a good polish to look as good as the bumper. Vinnnnnce, I'm looking at you for this!

Tires are plenty good, going to start re finish the other wheels this weekend and paint next week hopefully

 

It depends what your purpose is for the wheel cleaner. I wouldn't use it as a maintenance wheel cleaner since your wheels won't have that much build up and it wouldn't be cost effective. They are great for removing a lot of built up grime and iron but if you maintain regularly, it's not necessary. One of my favorite wheel cleaners is Autoglym Custom Wheel Cleaner. It's $50 for 5L and I dilute it 1:1 with water so 10L for $50. It foams up very nicely, clings to the wheels, and acts as an awesome tire cleaner as well. Having a bottle of sonax/iron x is handy though for the initial cleaning. I'd look into getting Wolf's decon gel if you're going that route though. Same cleaning power without the rotten eggs smell. After the initial major cleaning, as long as you maintain it should be fine. It helps to apply some sealant to the wheels to discourage as much brake dust build up as well.

Try the Lexan DIY mod for fixing the fogs! A fraction of the cost in comparison to buying new OEM ones. That's what I'll be trying one of these weekends. Haha sure PM or text me if you want a detail


So who is down for a meet this Sunday at 4:00PM? Let's say the location will be Tim Horton's near United Cycle.

Does AO sell the Wolf's decon gel and the 5L Autoglym? Which sealant do you recommend?

I will be helping my bros GF move on Sunday, and not sure til when. If I'm free I'll come by.

From being broken for so long, the reflective paint on the inside of the housing has peeled away, so I just want to get new ones and will have them 3m'd. I'll text ya for the detail

 

did you install it yet? i was thinking about buying one but not sure if it'll make a huge difference since i'm rocking automatic transmission....

 

on a side note...finally got the lip put on my tsx. =D she's finally 100% complete.

 

@nguyen - Nope, I haven't installed it yet. Waiting for my buddy at West side Acura to give me a time and price to get it installed, hopefully this weekend tho. Automatics do make less HP out of it but its still a good mod if you're looking for a tune/HP increase. It would be better if you have other bolt on mods first like an intake/header. It's a nice mod but wouldn't be my first choice because of the price. I bought mine used from a tsx club member so I wouldn't have to send my stock ECU.

 

Install it yourself! Its literally plug and play.

Fuck seeing that pic of your TSX sure makes me miss mine

 

I bought the Hondata used so I have to bring it to the dealership to get it sync'd to my keys/immobilizer otherwise it would've been on already haha.

 

Yeah they carry both. I haven't personally used any of the dedicated wheel sealants and instead use sealant that is meant for paint. I put two layers of Klasse Sealant Glaze on my winter wheels and it held up quite well. Collinite 845 is supposed to offer great protection as well. I applied two coats of it to my car for the winter and it surprisingly held up for the majority of the time, considering our winters last what feels like forever.

I'm in there quite randomly so it may be hard to catch me there. They also aren't open on Sunday's.

Myron, I saw your buddy's TL at Hawrelak today while I was playing frisbee with some friends. Damn it's low.

 

@ Vince - haha I was talking about the Sunday meet, but ya I'll have to go in and pick up some Autoglym one day. I bought some Sonus wheel cleaner last week from them and it was ok, wheels still seemed dirty tho.

@Darkness - Ohh so that was your TSX? Dam that sucks, atleast you got a nice TL and S13 now to make up for the TSX haha

 

Indeed it was, ha, I think i'd miss it less if the TL was manual like TSX, but its not, and that damn s13 is a lost cause.

 

hey guysssss... long time no talkkk.... as most of you guys know i sold the tsx last fall and got the g35 and moved to calgary... i miss the tsx and i see sooo many here alot of them done up nicely! anyways i listed the parts i have for the tsx on kijiji if you guys know of anyone who needs anything.. hope all is well with everyone.. who knows maybe i'll be back with another acura soon! i do have the reverse cree hid led plug and play lights, gotta find them, there mint n used for maybe 4 months, first one with ummm $50?? takes them.. so heres the link for it, i'll also post in the market place as well... cheers guys!

Haha I saw iChinese the other day at dream tea just off whyte.

 

hahah where you in dream tea??

 

I happened to be passing by Tim's and thought I'd stop in to meet a couple of you; unfortunately, it was @ 3 (I somehow remembered that as being the time of your meet). Fortunately, I had my tablet with me and doublechecked the time right away. Unfortunately, I can't swing back for 4. Another time.

 

Is the meet still happening? haha

 

Nah I don't think the meet ended up happening since there was only 3 confirmed. Lol we'll try again another weekend and hopefully get more confirmations.

 

Anyone know where to get tuner lug nuts like Muteki ?

 

^InvisionAuto. They are located in south side. They do price match against online shops.

 

Oh nice, thanks Arthur!

 

I parked at dream tea but no haha I was at tutti fruitti and saw your car lol.

 

^ I always park by Dream Tea House every time I go to Whyte. lol

lowering springs here i come next weekend

 

^looking good sir!!

 

man just keep those on the car, they look awesome on there. I wouldn't even try to sell those

 

Alright, so I'm putting up my winters tires for sale. They are Nokian Hakkapelita Rs (235/45/R17). They are premium winter tires and I've never been stuck with these. I've only put a maximum of 5000km on them. No patches or uneven wear. These are 1200$ new and I'm letting them go for 700$.

 

@Justin - Those axis shines are looking very sharp. Weren't you lowered before? Did you sell your other springs off?

@Arthur - Decent deal on the tires man. Why are you getting rid of them? Lol switching to RPF-1's for the winter?

 

^Not RPF1s but some 18"s.

 

^Hm I wonder what they could be

 

let me guess... your old wheels? lol
