    Timing chains are annoying to re-time :(

    Starting to think that it is more than the timing wrong because we have it on the right mark but it still does not turn over, even when roll starting it.

    Acura released the new facelift for the ILX. Looks pretty sharp IMHO.

    Why is the badge so freaking big? Why is it so angular? Why does it look so angry? It looks like a toddler's failed origami project.

    This is an Acura:

    That's a fucking Honda though (when Acuras were just the rebadging company of Honda that mostly sold in the US).

    Acuras now actually have more differences than what they used to be.

    Visibility looks like an issue, and it looks like a civic. Does look nice.

    Of course it is. Atleast it's less obvious than the older Acuras.

    Not a huge fan on the "diamond pentagrille" but it looks decent.

    "Performance" spark plugs along with performance plug caps are a scam.

    Optimised plug temp matters more for performance than the word performance does lol.

    @Googlefluff and other Canadians. Do B.C. and Alberta drivers have any bad rep in Canada, or is it only the ones that cross the border that are genuine retards? Most of the Canadian drivers I encounter either drive like aggressive assholes or grandmas headed to bingo, no inbetween.

    After all the times I've bashed Japan, brought politics into the thread, and tried to start a gearhead rebellion, freaking Acura is what starts a flame war?

    At work I vacuumed and wiped down the interior of a Sonata, and then hand washed the exterior all in under 6 minutes. New world record.
    I also went well past burying the speedo in a Jeep Wrangler. Interesting experience.

    Alberta drivers have a bad rep here in BC, I don't know about elsewhere. I'd say people around where I live are about average, generally. There are more aggressive drivers once you get into Vancouver but that's typical for a big city.

    And of course the flame war gets deleted.

    Everytime I get my ass handed to me in a flame war, the mods don't touch it, then everytime I win it gets sent the the depths of internet hell. Can't make ol' Robin look smart for once.

    I see how it is, forum.

    Everyone who has driven some sort of vehicle on a public road is guilty of speeding, whether it be 10 or 100kph above the speed limit. I have, and I'm 250% sure that most people on this forum have too.

    Well, apart from the 12 year olds saying “MAAAEEEEEK LAAHHHMMMBORGHAHNI PLZZZZZZZZ” or “MY GAAAME LAGGS OM NEW COMPUTER” when they are on a celeron powered laptop.
