FS: Acura RL Calipers

$

0
The previous set I was selling sold and since this is a new set, I created a new thread.

Available for purchase is a set of front 2005-2012 Acura RL calipers. The calipers pictured below are the same pair I am selling. Please keep in mind that they are in used condition and as a result will be a bit dirty whether it be brake fluid or dirt as a result of being removed from a vehicle that was daily driving. This however has no effect on the performance of the calipers themselves and it is strongly suggested that the brake pads be changed as the ones that come with these do not suffice.They are in working condition and I would have no problem putting them on my car as is. These will come with brake pads but but it would be recommended to change them. You will need at least 17" wheels to clear them, but please do your own research beforehand.

If you are looking for brackets, they can be purchased for $150 by visiting FatfourCustoms.com These brackets fit several Honda applications. I can confirm fitment for the 90-97 Accord, 95-98 Odyssey, 03-07 Accord, 04-14 Acura TSX. I am confident they fit other Honda chassis in between those years, but can not confirm it. For the aforementioned click below to read what is needed to make this possible.

Non-Negotiable Price: $250
Non-Negotiable Shipped: $275
Location: Look up zip code 91803

* Note: There is the possibility that you may receive the package tattered or other as a result of USPS, but I will do my very best to secure the calipers by placing each caliper in its own single zip lock bag and shredded paper which can reach tight crevices and protect the items.

Take a very good look at the pictures and should you have any questions, feel free to contact me. It is the responsibility of the potential buyer to examine the pictures closely, read the fine print, and ask questions prior to purchasing. Upon money being sent, the buyer has also agreed that they have read the description thoroughly and understand the aforementioned in the description. Under no circumstances will there be exchanges or refunds issued.

After discount, the Q50S with Nav almost same price as TLX 3.5 AWD Adv.

Which one should I get? I am kind in favor of Q50S since its RWD based....But TLX has all options at same price....

My Center Console Gets Really Cold

$

I live in an area that stays warm all year so I practically always run my AC. I've noticed my center console gets REALLY cold when I do. Sometimes there's even condensation on the outside. Touching the aluminum strip on the side is almost like touching a metal freezer. Also, things inside the cup holder get cold. I keep coins in a little cup in one of the cup holders and they are icy cold whenever I have to fish some out. I haven't taken it apart yet but I'm wondering if some AC hose or duct is loose in there. I notice there are two AC vents on the back of the console but I checked and the air seems to come out fine. Has anyone experienced this or are currently experiencing it? If it's not normal I'm guessing it's an easy fix. And except for the occasional condensation, it's really not a critical problem with me. It just seems kind of odd.

FS: comptech s/c 60% kit

ok guys here it is about the best price you can get for a supercharger kit.

kit was bought off ziggyh22 and modified by him. fully fuctional but custom.

what's in the kit?

rebuilt m62 blower
intake elbow
throttle body inlet adapter
supercharger outlet adapter
04-07 tl comptech acm
brand new autometer boost & a/f gauges.

now you ask What's missing?
radiator hose
alternator mounting bracket
map sensor block off plate
battery tray
coolant resivor
coolant hoses
air intake
a/c line hold down bracket
fill hole bolt for m62 unit
drive belt
throttle body bolt (long type)
(Most nuts and bolts are reused from stock setup)

now you ask what's custom?
all the inlets and outlets of the s/c was built for a CL-S
all inlet and oulets was custom drilled to fit 04-08 TL
pulley drive is a CL-S type.

you must get the alternator double pulley and have it install to work. everything fits and was tried and true by ziggyh22

im happy to answer any of your questions and guide you with any encounters.

you ask why sell it? i bought this for the supercharger unit itself. just the eaton part of it. now im having a newborn 12weeks in i think i need the money for birth. im accepting resonable offers. shipping world wide. no paypal fees, and shipping included.

you can get an idea of this s/c on this tread. http://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=863190

i have a supercharged Tl type S and i vouch for this kit that it will work and fit.

2014 vs 2012 tail lights

So I recently had a 2014 tl as a loaner and looking at its tailights, they seemed to be a bit brighter with maybe darker edges than my 2012. I got distracted when I brought it back and forgot to check.


Ps, can we make the blind spot indicator make noise? Or does it just flash..

Passenger side headlight flickers but not often...

$

I've read many threads about headlight flickering. Unfortunately some say it's the bulb and some say the igniter. I've noticed only a few times that the passenger bulb will flicker for a second. The few times I've noticed was when braking while going downhill. This is is probably a coincidence but I figured I should mention it. My assumption is the bulb is going. Is there a way to test it is the bulb before I order one? Should I get an oem bulb or is an aftermarket bulb just as good?

2005 Acura TL 6MT (3rd Gen) Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) Replacement- Notes

$
0

I wanted to start a consolidated thread with some of the helpful posts I found with pictures, not just from this site but another. I also wanted to share my lessons learned working on my TL 6MT b/c there were some things that I think weren't mentioned elsewhere that might help others:
- The other sites with helpful pics: http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showt...&highlight=app
http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showp...2&postcount=12
http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-ge...placement.html
I personally think the last one from the TSX site is better b/c the poster did a better job illustrating the pictures with color coding. I used it most when doing my APP replacement, only referring to the others for a cross reference.
- I think the other posts from other members shared their experiences based on their automatic transmission cars. I think the experience with the car is different for AT vs MT.
- I have never replaced my APP before. My car only has 92K miles and is a 2005 model.
- I did get the requisite code P2138 + others which persuaded me to change the APP. I considered tightening the cable like others suggested but mine didn't have significant slack, plus I didn't want to experience "limp mode" while making a road trip.
- To do the repair, you need a 10mm AND a 12MM wrench for the cable nut. The 10mm tools will work fine for all the other bolts in this fix. I used a ratchet and wrench.
- Getting the cover off the APP and the mounting bracket WAS NOT EASY. There isn't a lot of room to maneuver and I didn't feel like removing the cross bar (which apparently isn't in the TSX).
- I decided to get out my DeWalt drill and attach a combination of adapter and a 10mm socket so that it could extend the 6" into the area where the 10mm bolts were...HUGE DIFFERENCE. I loosened and tightened the bolts easily at that point. This is what took me the longest time.
- I followed all the instructions in the TSX post (not going to rehash all it here)
- Total time for me was 2 hours because I checked and double checked my steps. Plus I was trying to think of an easy way to loosen the bolts which is when I got the bright idea for the drill. Plus I had some distractions/phone calls to deal with.
- I have an 8 hour drive to deal with soon so I will post an update on if the APP replacement actually helped my original conditions. (see below)
- Shop around for the APP! The local dealer wanted $230 for the part...or $330 to change it out themselves. I did convince them to price match another dealer's price if I brought in a website printout (e.g. acuraoemparts.com)
- I got my part from Amazon from a Honda dealership in CA...best price at $130 shipped.
- The Acura dealer wanted to charge me $100 to diagnose the CEL and pull the codes....SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND GO TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE LIKE ADVANCED AUTO and borrow their's for free. Took 10 mins to plug it in and diagnose my own codes.

BACKGROUND AND ORIGINAL CONDITIONS BELOW:

- My issues only started in April 2014. My experience was what others explained as "stuttering" when cruising at a consistent speed mainly on the freeway at 55pmh-70mph. To me it felt like a strong gust of wind hit the front of the car resulting in some resistance...but it went away after a second. After experiencing it over and over, I realized I wasn't imagining things and that there was something going on. Not seeing a significantly degraded performance or any warning lights, I just drove with it.
- In May 2014, driving at 35mph and accelerating on a city road, the 3 lights turned on (CEL, VSA, and the ! light).
- The lights all cleared by the next morning as I was driving to Advanced Auto to borrow their OBD tool...go figure.
- The car actually felt like it ran fine so I thought it was a 1 time issue...but no...
- The 3 lights turned on again during a 3 hour road trip while I was on the high way. AFter I got to my exit is when I first experienced "limp mode"...and I was shocked at how I couldn't accelerate. I barely made it up a hill to the hotel.
- After I checked into the hotel and got back in the car, the issue cleared again...so shutting off the car helps temporarily.
- I don't feel shutting the car off is a good long term solution...I recommend just replacing the sensor. Even a local dealer service guy told me that they see these sensors fail more in the summer.

Feel free to PM with any questions.

foglight dilema (will 2012+ fit prior model years?-

$

Hey so tried out a little DIY I have seen kicking around the forums about fixing the old glass fog light lense (which was shattered) and replacing it with Lexan polycarbonate. However in doing so I tried 2 different silicones and neither held the concave shape of the 4G lense. Anyone else have this problem? I hate to call the stealership and order a new one but open to options. Also would the 2012+ models fog lights fit if you altered the brackets? I ask cause it's half the cost of the 2009-2011 years.

Thanks

Anyone in the DMV willing to help me with my ebay fog light install. I have installed the lights and wire harness, just having a hard time with getting the lights to come on. I have pre wired the harness into the under the hood fuse box using the 14 pin connector as my ignition/on switch and the 20 pin connector for power. For some reason these fog lights won't turn on nor do I get any power to the switch. Anyone willing to lend a helping hand. This is the eBay fog light set I got.
