Ethlar's significantly faster CM6

[Nix]

You could probably drive more gently and slowly to make up that little of a difference.

What's the fun in that?

Hi Accord Brother!

 

[ethlar]

you got that extra displacement, and i think the better intake manifold

several months late but had to say goodby to the accord. signs were suggesting it was going to need a engine out level repair. Found a decent deal on a CPO Acura TLX 3.5 SH-AWD Tech pack to replace it

how would you say you're liking it so far? Anything specific stand out

 

[ethlar]

overall quite happy with it, its purely a commuter car for me right now. The SH-AWD platform is kinda fun, but i havent had a ton of opportunities to test it out. Im not sure id look to do any suspension mods, have a few accessories waiting for when i have a garage to work on it, fogs and rear parking sensors

Texas....

The plan is in 1.5-2 years returning to md/dc to resume working for MedStar's research group, i just had to go somewhere else to prove career wise i really learned things and can function independently from the people who trained me

where you need to live since you despise snow/cold

 

[ethlar]

we did have flurries a month or two ago, there were 3 of them, i counted

I also thought they were pollen or dust or something other than snow when i saw them

I was thinking Arizona. But I'm open to ideas. Won't happen anytime soon since my wife wants to be close to her family (with her dad being in an assisted living facility).

Where is the TLX build thread?

 

[ethlar]

so far all ive done is tint, oem parking sensors and fogs. Not sure how much if anything else im going to do to it. Too many computers control everything

Ive thought about slightly more aggressive brake pads and this, but the setup is 1200 and while it sounds good im not sure it sounds 1200 good

 

[bootyluvr]

I can't believe you drilled into the bumper!

 

[ethlar]

did it 4 times, much as i was questioning the directions, it worked out

 

[webby]

looks really good
