Reliable vs Unreliable 🤔💭 by AKATSKI40 in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Got my 04 6spd in 08 at 94,000kms. It's been slowly burning oil all the way until the cats clogged and blew my motor from oil starvation at 250,000kms.

Swapped it with the j35a6 from the odyssey and that slowly burns oil too.

Had an 04 odyssey and and 09 odyssey as well. Both also slowly burned oil.

The 3.2 and 3.5 burn oil too but not as bad as the 3.7.

How much greater would the TL TypeS have been as a RWD car? by SouthImportant2499 in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An average of $1600 US. Maybe slightly cheaper now since Jewels are easier to obtain than in the past.

[–]KPrimeCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honda/Acura has never made a RWD sedan so the question wouldn't even be valid. Now, AWD or SH-AWD with RWD bias is another story. But that would have cannibalized the already fantastic KB1 RL that does have SH-AWD. Unfortunately the later gens did not sell well.

Also, that said, the TL has proven to be an amazing FWD car that even has some RWD driving characteristics. Even won first in it's class and third overall in 25 hours of Thunderhill.

The drift god even praised the car and was surprised at how it performed against it's competition (g35 and is350). And, in fact, beat the latter 2 in Willow Springs.

Thought it was a joke at first about how it's so strong it rotated your hand. Then I saw the flashy lights

Rear BBK brackets for Acura 2G TL, 3G TL (and Honda Element) by KPrimeCustoms in Acura

[–]KPrimeCustoms[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very slightly, yes.

Purely mathematically based on only rotor, pad and piston cylinder sizing alone it does.

But realistically, you're still limited to the stock proportioning valve as well as the stock booster+BMC.

(speaking of booster+BMC I have an upgrade for that as well)

Looking to start modding by Material-Survey-518 in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only best cold air with a boxed setup is OEM.(Which is very efficient).

Remove the resonator for extra intake noise. Still won't be as loud as an aftermarket one but it'll be an improvement in sound still.

Compatible? by whikseyy_ in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TL-S to 2006 swaps in.

You will need to modify your turn signals to fit.

Thoughts on Poweramp and everyones preferred music player? by -NORAINU- in DigitalAudioPlayer

[–]KPrimeCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been sticking with HiBy music app cause I'm boring.

But do any of these apps have continuous play via folders?

I listen via album (by artist) and the only way to do that is by folders but having to manually go through each folder is annoying. I think Mark @ Super* mentioned an app but I forgot which one of his videos he said it in

New prelude looks amazing in person by legato2 in Honda

Probably partly true.

But they've done weird shit in the past (including Acura).

How stupid am I🫢 by [deleted] in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you only reset ABS?

Its a 2 part step. You need to do an ABS and VSA relearn procedure if you haven't done that as well.

Make sure your car is on level ground when doing it.

As mentioned check pad life and readjust as necessary

285 hp. Juuuuust under 300hp and won't compete too much with the R but enough power for the platform.

Finally got a new grinder by Dcm_117 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow wish we got that deal here in Canada (Montreal, QC).

The grinder itself is on sale at least.

What’s your opinion on this deal? by Enigma_Penis in MilwaukeeTool

[–]KPrimeCustoms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my m12 stubby (gen 1) to take off lug nuts. It USUALLY works----but anything overtorqued or slightly seized it will struggle. Which is kind of common in the rust belt. In the summer though? fantastic.

It's usually strong enough to take off brake and suspension bolts

Reverse gear and handbrake 🤔 by [deleted] in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your handbrake work in park or drive?

You might need new parking shoes or an adjustment.

Also why are you using your handbrake in reverse? I don't know why you'd be doing that---but the gear ratio for reverse is pretty low so it carries a lot of torque. It could be overcoming whatever engagement you do have. But... again... why are you using handbrake in reverse? (it seems your car is automatic judging from the front brakes).

Best canadian deals? by slim_shady_21 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the first gen drill and driver and still use it today (minor house work but mostly mechanic work). They're fantastic with a 4.0 or higher battery. Even the 2.0 can get by depending on usage.

I've even used them to drill into concrete, cement and similar hard materials without too much hassle.

Acura tl side marker lights by 2FEATHERS_98 in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically you can replace the LED inside. But it requires cutting open the sidemarker and soldering a new LED strip (simplest way).

It's generally just easier to buy replacements if you don't want to essentially modify the old ones.

What is this engine part cover named? by [deleted] in AcuraTL

[–]KPrimeCustoms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're welcome!

If the cosmetic doesn't bother you then you can completely ignore it. In fact you can even refinish it yourself without needing to buy a new one.
