Kind of gives me old forester vibes and I’m not mad

Dat blue is something. I just had a customer today pick up his Acura TL after some body work. He was talking to my manager and asked who has the blue Acura in the parking lot. Manager says, the guy that fixed your TL has that. Customer now wants to buy my MDX when I’m ready to sell.

I bought Pirellis with the noise canceling foam in them in 22” size in my Land Rover. I think tires in this size and aspect ratio tend to be kind of noisy so the foam is helpful in quieting down some of the roar. The downside is the weight. 6 lbs a corner is quite a bit when the wheels are already pretty heavy too.

I agree. That’s why I was so hesitant to swap to them.

God they really do.

Eh not that it really matters I weighed my stock wheel and tire vs the 22’s. Stock set up weighs in at 75 pounds a piece and the 22’s weigh in at 71 pounds a piece.

Did a thing. Beta tester for K tuner

There is a second small company that is just now releasing tunes for the TLX and MDX type s. Lambda tuning. Some of the MDX fam is just starting to beta tester stage 2 and I can’t wait to see the results.

Here is a TLX type s taking down a bmw 340i. TLX has a lambda tune. They say the BMW is modded. But I have no idea with what mods.

Went out for a little draggy run today. Not terrible for a 7 passenger, 4800 pound pig

 

[Mook]

Nice!

I should clarify that it ran a 13.9 pretty much stock with PRL charge pipes. I added a JB4 tune with a Function Werk catted down pipe and it ran a 13.4 at 104 mph with a boost cut because it wasn’t a real tune. I then sold the JB4 and just so happened to become a beta tester for K tuner stage 1 and here we are. No boost cuts this is about how it should have came out of the factory
