beauty!

Darkness.

Nah, maybe after winter. Im really starting to enjoy the yellow/green hid's haha. Although one ballast died, so I dont rock them at all currently

Thanks!

Heres one more with the working fog haha...and my ugly mug.



Also, the loaner vehicle while my car is in for service. TL SH-AWD, really enjoy the ride.

PO_TSX19

@Sanjay - Whoa that looks awsome. Your fogs looked kinda like really gold yellow, still bad ass though. What's your car in for?

Darkness.

The fog light is a yellow housing with a 8000K HID in there, so when it first turns on, it is pretty much green...because you know yellow/blue make = Green! haha.

New timing belt, tensioner, crank seal, and accessory belt.

Goes back next thursday for a new powersteering pump as the seals are blown. Oh the joys of a high mileage car.

Also need to replace the front engine mount. Completely shot. Even worse after they had to take it off to get to the timing belt. 160 bucks from acura or 360 for all new innovative mounts with bushings that dont blow up.

Hrrrm... http://www.heeltoeauto.com/innovativ...nd-type-s.html

@Sanjay - I have to get those done on my car soon too one day.. If you don't mind a lot of vibrating in the cabin then go for the innovative mounts, heard lots of good reviews for them. I think someone was selling a set on the marketplace for the TL too.

riicky

power steering pump is an easy job.

v|nsan|ty

@Sanjay - Haha if you ever want the full yellow look I have a pair of brand new 3K bulbs for the fogs that I never used.

Darkness.

Yeah I figure there is going to be too much vibrating from innovative mounts. Just going to get an oem one and be done with it. The solid mounts that are going into the 240sx should equal out haha.

I know the pump is easy to do. Why bother when the dealership is doing it for free.

Yeah I'll probably snag those from you. Got a spare ballast? One of the fogs ballast is doneskis

you8myrice

so bad ass ! ! !

v|nsan|ty

@Sanjay - Sorry no extra ballasts.

@Tai - Lol all I could think about when I watched that was "Canyon Arrow" from The Simpsons.

ArenHam

He should try shoveling the snow...I did that in my TL and to no avail...

EdmTSX

I might have one old ddm tuning working ballast, ddm tuning 3k bulbs and a full set of butyl headlight sealant from retrofit source too if anyone needs lol

v|nsan|ty

Jeff you didn't end up opening your headlights? I think Myron still has my sealant. Not sure where he is though lol.

EdmTSX

@Vince - nope haha..I'm just gonna buy a new set of JDM headlights instead since I messed up the insides of the housings lol.

v|nsan|ty

Ouch that's an expensive mistake. The JDM headlights do look nice though.

PO_TSX19

@Tai - Holy thats epic driving, . Who was driving it?

@Jeff - Can you still adjust the headlight for a LHD with a JDM headlight? Im thinking of getting a new one but im not sure if you can still adjust it for LHD.

EdmTSX

You can, its a little different tho. For mine, its a skinny plastic stick in the housing that I turn and I have to be careful not to break the stick since I don't have wiring to hook it up to a switch for inside the car, sorta like the mazdas do. If you are looking for some JDM headlights, theres a few people on the tsx forums that can source used parts if you dont want brand new. And you have to swap the projectors since the lenses are swapped around for in Europe if you get JDM/EDM headlights.

PO_TSX19

I just have to find the headlight first, haha.

EdmTSX

^I can ask around for you if you like. Also, anyone get those newer style acurazine stickers? I liked the old version better..I have a clear one if anyone wants lol

ArenHam

Dibs, I'll exchange it for a free Big Mac coupon

EdmTSX

haha I'll save it for you, next time we have a meet maybe? no idea where to put it on a black car since its a clear sticker with black letters..

EdmTSX

@Danzio - If you are or anyone is thinking of picking up lights from Retro Fit Source, they have a black friday sale on.

you8myrice

what do the new/old ones look like? i've only seen one version

v|nsan|ty

I believe I have the newer version on my car. Newer version is just "ACURAZINE" in big block letters. The older version said "ACURAZINE.COM" in thinner letters. I liked the older style too but I was only sent 1 two years ago. Last year I got 2 of the newer ones so I removed the old one and rock the newer ones.

PO_TSX19

Jeff - Yeah, that would help thanks. Im pretty much making up words to find it. Ebay's scary, haha .

Also, i'd like to get stickers as well.

you8myrice

@Vince you rock them on both sides?
im gonna donate after my next payday, for a good cause anyways!

danzio2020

Already bought and installed Morimoto 5000K's!
Thanks though.

v|nsan|ty

@Tai - Yeah both sides. Gotta have symmetry lol.

@Quyen - Stickers can be had via $25 or more donation right here. https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/2012-acurazine-holiday-drive-winners-now-listed-1-28-a-874308/

Alrighty next payday, haha. So whats up with everyone?

you8myrice

finally decided to clean the tips, not bad for literally a 5min job. not the greatest but again, 5min job and it was way better than before!!

you8myrice

PO_TSX19

@Tai - They look awsome, im thinkin about getting one but in 18's instead. Looks to be a steal, i'd say go for it.

you8myrice

yeah, i need something for summer anyways, gonna switch my Xi2's onto my stocks.
i like how the seller got them on a TL too lol

ArenHam

Cool, well we won't have a meet anytime soon though =P. Shall we meet up and exchange the goods?

v|nsan|ty

@Tai - Exhaust tips came out nice! It doesn't seem like you had too much build up. The first time I cleaned mine some paint came off around the edges since the grime didn't want to come off. I'm thinking of sanding inside the tips during the spring and removing all the black paint. Make them stand out more

Those wheels are a good price. Looks like you'll have to replace at least 2 sets of the stickers though. Authentic stickers are stupidly expensive. Something like $100 per wheel last time I heard. I wonder if that's a TL-S with an ATLP exhaust. I remember seeing in the summer a NBP TL-S with those wheels and an ATLP in Edmonton. It was on a day I was heading to Banff and had my whole front end taped up lol.
