new car ain't new anymore :(
|
|
no idea what the african guy was thinking, glad nobody was hurt, i had my daughter in the car. police came and found him at fault. basically while waiting to turn right off a highway offramp, he squeezed between me and the curb for some unknown reason and hit my front right bumper. the OEM kit took the brunt of the damage, scratched bumper, scratched headlight, and the fender is bent in just a little bit.
on the bright side of things, i'm not going to let insurance just respray the bumper either. i'm going to get a brand new factory painted bumper, which is nice because now i don't have to install the front licence plate bracket, and now i can also get the entire bumper wrapped in the clear 3m or whatever brand stone chip film. new oem factory painted optional kit, and for the fender i'm going to see if the body shop can get it back into shape without a repaint, basically i don't want 5 shades of white on the car. oh also a brand new headlight, i'm lucky that the car is new enough that the new headlight won't look different than the other undamaged one.

Let us know how the repairs go. As far as I know there are no Factory Painted bumpers available from Acura. The Bumper Kits do come factory color. There is always a difference in color from fenders to factory bumpers anyways. That Fender doesn't look 100% repairable without painting, I'd like to see how it all turns out.

|
Re: new car ain't new anymore :(
|
|
what a fucking cock sucker. guy told his insurance that i rear-ended him. as soon as i heard that, i sent in pics i took of the scene. they saw that it was the SIDE of the bumpers, so how could i possibly rear-end him?
anyways, fucking !XOBILE got pinned with the accident, i'm found not at fault by insurance and my deductible waived. adjuster coming out on monday to check the car, and i get a sweet ass corolla to roll around in. i hope it's beige

They're just boosters, not strapped in child seats. And my son doesn't actually need his anymore, he's tall enough now but I've been to lazy to take it out lol.

Increased airflow to the FMIC, should be good for 1 more HP!
If I had the money this would have been a perfect opportunity to upgrade the FMIC.

To each their own, but to me this car feels cheaper inside than mine does. There is absolutely NOTHING about this car that makes me want to own it. It honestly feels like the turn signal stalk is going to snap off every time I use it. And one of my biggest pet peeves about it is the lack of a sunglass holder. WTF, why would they not have one?! My personal opinion is just that, my opinion. I would never spend my money on this thing ever.

oh yea i was wrong about that, it's weird because i ordered in a Aspec TSX bumper and it came already painted, also a stock one came already painted..i guess the TLX ones don't come pre-painted yet. the oem kit came painted but everything was re-painted anyway so that it's one damn color.

Lol thanks fellas, I don't think I'm going to black out the grille because it kinda matches the wheels.
And vas ya I need to get a clear plate cover but I've been to 3 crappy tires and none of them have just a flat clear cover?
And yep, was a field when I moved in, now it's condos (3 units from bottom to top) all the way down and around the corner of the street. I'm super happy they were built

Finally. I'm ready to go off roading
Looking good! When I was at Acura yesterday, I sat in a TLX while I was waiting for the sales guy to get the demo RDX, I couldn't help but admire just how great the TLX is. Those seats are so comfortable.

I was going to say, where did all those townhouses come from? When I dropped off the mattress for you, it was a field... Waits for your stories about driving with no front plate
at least there's some talent in them

The seats are a bit different. The RDX seems to have less bolster.

this thread reminds me of the 10k+ worth of mods on a leased G35 with a custom paintjob and stereo.

Has anyone had any direct interaction with transmission problems in the TLX? My father was about to pull the trigger on one to replace is '04 TL but he is somewhat hesitant now and looking at other options after all the crap I have read. I cannot believe honda could even think about risking another transmission disaster after all the issues from the past with V6 equipped models.

^lol
it's all software updates. quite a few of the V6 people are saying that a recent update works out the jerky-ness of the trans. it's not like it's blowing up into a million pieces or anything. some people are having trouble with the 8spd too, so far mine has been fine.

That's good to hear. I was curious to get some real opinions because the internet folk have a way of blowing up small issues. Some of the accurazine threads were 12 pages of people losing their shit...

yes, as we know with the internet things get a lil bit out of hand (shocker). but as titty said that's the case, software update and 95% of the cars are fine. it's the 9spd (ZF from germany - hator...you and your bmw supplier shit LOL) is the kicker...8spds are pretty much good.

Downgear I have a 9sp in my TLX and it shifts great. I just had an update performed and it feels even more responsive and smoother now. Theres nothing mechanically wrong with the tranny. Lots of people complain about the shift feel though, but Acura has been very quick to update the software.
Acurazine is full of retards. Half the people posting in the TLX section dont even have one. Disgruntled TL owners who dont like how the TLX drives lmao. I shy away from that forum as much as possible.
There is a specific TLX forum too http://www.tlxforums.com/forum/
Im very happy with my TLX.

That 9spd ZF tried to kill me and my buddy, or if not kill me, destroy my driving record. He's got a 2014 Cherokee with adaptive cruise control with stop and go. I was driving it and he tells me to not worry, and to trust it, it'll stop. It starts accelerating towards the car in front which is stopped. 70, 75, 80 - in a 60. I finally bail and SLAM the brakes missing the car in front by inches. I pulled over and got out. He drove us home, without cruise. A week later, maybe 10000kms on the vehicle and it does it to him - Jeep is driven directly to the dealer. Turns out the dog clutch was sticking and it was trying to do a rev matched downshift but couldn't get out of gear. It sat there 3 weeks waiting for a transmission.
Note about adaptive cruise, my Infiniti bails at 35kph.

Apparently the 9 in the Jeeps is a licensed version built by Chrysler, while the Honda/Acura unit comes directly from ZF.
Ive driven my sis-in-laws Cherokee and it shifts way differently then mine. Shes had a few issues with hers too.

Re: new car ain't new anymore :(

I read a article explaining how thethe 9spd ZF worked with the dog gears and aparantly jeep has their own software and flashes for it.
