Looking For Specific Shift Knob

$

2004 TL 6MT

I love my Mishimoto shift knob. Great weight, great height, great feel. I'll be doing the CT short shifter upgrade soon and it will feel even nicer then. Anyway, I'm wondering if there is a shift knob out there this same style, tall, cylindrical, not too thick, but that is deeply countersunk? Basically, I would like something that goes down to where the shift rod starts to bend. This would still give me this style shift knob, but allow the overall knob to sit lower, of course depending on the height of the knob itself. I have the Mishimoto screwed down as far as it will go. I can't seem to find a good weighted, countersunk shift knob like this.

Any suggestions?

Lately when I turn on my car, the center dash display screen shows an “EXT” and the radio stops. I have to disconnect the battery to get it working again.
But once I turn it off is back to EXT. Can someone help me?

Trying to fix my car

So about a month ago I had my car throw a p0174 and p0171 bank 1 & 2 system too lean code. My mil light went on for about an hour and in that time I had it checked to reveal the codes and then it went off and then about a week later the light came back on and then again after about an hour of driving it went back off. And my car is getting very shitty mpg and also when I'm cruising and I floor it to pass or just floor it in general I get this horrible rotten egg smell. It is very mind boggling because there is no check engine lights on and it's still getting horrible fuel mileage. Like 12-15 mpg Highway. Iv cleaned the egr port so far but that's it. Anyone have any ideas or the same experience?

Hey all, first time here. First time Acura owner, 2019 TLX. Anyone else HATE the radio? Volume is just so damn low, I haven’t taken it off max volume in the two weeks I’ve had the car. Anyone know if there’s an override the dealer can do to increase audio volume!?
any info is appreciated.

Goodbye 2006 Acura TL

$

10 years... 10 long years I was truly enjoying my 2006 Acura TL. It was the best car I have ever had... Every single day I was enjoying driving it.

Unfortunately, following issues appeared:
1) rust started appearing (size of quarter)
2) time for timing belt change
3) need new tires
4) Bluetooth not working
5) And many other minor issues

I have Excel file with all my car expenses for 10 years - $10,568.82. This amount includes 2 set of tires, new transmission, etc

I went to test-drive to Acura and tried 2016 Acura TLX V6 and 2019 Acura TLX V6, but these cars do not give me same emotions as my 2006 Acura TL. They felt pretty boring...

For the last 12 months, I tried so many cars, but nothing coming close to comfort/sportiness of my acura:
2017 Audi A4 2.0T
2016 Honda Accord V6
2019 Honda Accord 2.0T
2016 Lexus IS 350 F Sport
2017 Jeep Grand Cherookee

I almost bought 2016 Lexus 350 F Sport, but this car is sooooo small inside, that I had to give it back.

So, I finally found car that is very close to my Acura, but still different in some aspects:
2015 Infiniti Q50 Sport, 3.7, RWD

I hope I can enjoy this car as I did enjoy Acura TL...

“Heads”-Up Display?

Why do people say, or reviewers write, Heads-Up Display (HUD) instead of Head-Up Display? I don’t know too many drivers with more than one head (get your mind out of the gutter) and you only ever hear “heads up” at the golf course or baseball game. :chuckle:

I’ll save you a trip to the owner’s manual—it says Head-Up Display. :keke:

2019 RDX A-Spec Brakes Question

$
0
0
Hello! I just purchased the 2019 RDX A-Spec and I absolutely love it!

One thing I am a bit paranoid about is the feel of the brakes. I'm sorry if this has been asked already as I am a new member however when I brake, there is an initial air feel before it really gets into braking my car. I don't know how to explain it but it's not a smooth brake from press of the pedal to complete stop.

The initial press of the brake pedal has an airy, hitch feel and then it smoothly brakes the car. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is it just how the brakes operate on the RDX A-Spec or is it something that will go away with normal use?

Thanks so much and looking forward to participating in this community!

Stop Engine at D position without pushing P button

$

I wonder if any complication could happen if I don't go to P position before stoping the engine. I asked because with auto idle stop mode on, fully stop at D position will stop the engine, but once I switch to P position, the engine starts again, which kind of annoying. I am going to stop the engine any so why do I have to start the engine just because I need to switch to P.
I tried to push the start/stop button at D position and my car switch to P automatically, However, by doing so, the computer would seem to completely stop the car first, and then switch to P. Maybe I was not correct but my observation seems to indicate that the gear would engage the gear for parking after the engine off. Can anyone confirm?
Does anyone know if pressing start/stop button at D position creates any mechanical issue (or any issue at all)? If no problem doing so, once the auto idle stop engaged, I would simply press one button to save the engine from starting again.

mounting light bar / license plate holder to TL

'04 TL. I expect to get a ton of negative responses about how it will look ugly etc., but I'm asking anyway. I'd like to mount a license plate / light bar (see link below) and add to round LED lights above or below the bar. What would it take to mount something like this to the existing to "capped" holes to the right and left side of the front license plate? Longer screws? would it bolt into something solid in the bumper? The headlights on my TL are horrible and don't give off enough light. Also I've always loved the "rally car" look...and I've never seen it done before on a TL. I'm not interested in investing a lot in mounting them flush with a OEM driving light kit etc. Want to give this a shot.

Here's the bar:

Thanks in advance!

Review on the new Hand Made A-SPEC!

2004 TSX M/T 185k Thudding sound when accelerating in gear.

$

Hello everyone, for the life of me I cannot find anything on the web about this. A lot of similar problems but not exact. Maybe one of you could shed some light..

Thudding sound coming from front end.. Driver side it sounds like.

Sound increases with speed not revs.

Sound is only noticable when clutch is engaged and in gear (1-6)

When coasting in neutral sound will stop.

Replaced axels and it didn't solve issue. Mechanic friend suggested replacing wheel hubs.

Really not trying to take it to dealership for a $200 diagnostic. Hoping it's not transmission related!

Please advise.

Attached it a link to a video.. Excuse the braking sound in the beginning.. Big rig stopped next to me.


2019 RDX Turbo Question.

$

Is it necessary or suggested to let the engine run for a few minutes before turning engine off to protect the turbo?. I can remember having a mercury Merkur 20 plus years ago and I had to let that idle for 2 to 3 minutes before shutting it down. My friend also has one of those ford RS focus (45K) and he says that all turbo engines require a cool down or I think he called it a spool down. Should I be doing this in the RDX
