My engine is at 165k. Bout to change the rear main seal…that’s like $2k. Changed rear valve cover gasket, timing belt, bank two cat(still pushing code), plugs, o rings, couple other maintenance items. I’m in $8k deep. Stalling on the seal bc I wanna change my clutch at the same time lol
Congrats on the kiddo, dude! Hopefully things will pick up financially, just don't give up and you'll be fine 😉👌 Oh, and try to sleep as much as you can, like power naps and all that lol
@@RevsALot If I may give my opinion, don't go too crazy, favor interesting stuff. Be yourself, do what you already do and maybe more frequently. I've seen many youtubers go too crazy, don't pop up and then are stuck in debt and you can't do that now with the little one on the way. BTW, my twins are 2 yo now and we have a bunch of clothing and baby stuff. We're in Quebec, which province are you?
@bringonthedead2 yah definitely won't be doing that. I did that mistake already by getting a truck back in 2020, and had to trade in for Q50 to lower payments. Now still too much. Hopefully Canada can survive till 2025 lol. I'm in the maritimes, but have 4 young nephews and a niece so we definitely won't be hurting for any clothes. I just have to get rid of the Q50 to save $800 a month and then be way better off financially
@@RevsALotGlad to hear it! Maritimes is an awesome area, but also cold AF in the winter, now I get why the TL was stuck haha Man, I love those Q50s, but they're too expensive fr. I landed on a clean 2013 Taurus AWD for 15k (100k km) which wasn't my favorite, but I've been loving it more and more and costs less than 400$/month. Because of the twins, we had to opt for a big ol' thicc boi to haul everything and everyone with ease 😆 Still looking for my future 4th gen TL! Cheers brother
@@RevsALot in between your build videos and vlogs, I'd love to hear about what are good deals, what are crackhead ones on Facebook, Auto trader, Kijiji, etc, what to watch out for when you buy a car, how to inspect a car you'd like to buy, must-have tools, how to properly take care of your car, maintenance, stuff like that. Also, consider creating a Discord channel so people can join you, discuss, submit ideas or cars to buy/sell. Since car prices are pretty nuts in Canada also, this could help people and also add visibility to your channel. This would add value to what you do, gather a car enthusiast community, while not costing you a thing except time. Just a few ideas off the top of my head. Good luck bro, looking forward to your next video 👊
Air idle control valve or air in the coolant my old civics and accords did it all the time I would just throw an new throttle body on for 20 bucks back than
Great video! It’s there a reason to keep the plastic engine cover? like i wanted to put them away i dont know if it’s gonna hurt the engine or not (sorry for my english)
Your tl looks very similar to mine, I still have stalk exhaust and rtx black widow rims with blacked out 2010 beak and rear. Is yours the 3.7 with 19 wheels too?
i just had to get a new battery the other week my car made that same super bad stutter when starting but with a new battery she fires right up and rips through this snowy washington garbage
@RevsALot your sporadic revving issue shouldn’t be tune related, you changed your throttle body out for the Smp performance TB, all you should need to do is have your throttle body re-learned to the ecu, I’ve got a 16’ tlx and just got the ported and polished intake mani, lower runners and TB from Smp performance myself and had to do the same thing with the throttle body. Hope this helps
@@RevsALot i do have ktuner but u cant raise the rev limit on tlx nd it will auto shift no matter what😑, am gonna get dyno tune hopefully by end of feb nd lets see what tuner can do. My vtec kicks in at lower rpm tho if thats what u mean it droping off power band, all shifts goes into vtec
@xlzlxlx4074 you can raise rev limiter, they recently unlocked it last year I believe. You have the 3.5 right? I follow a guy who raised his on his 3.5.
@xlzlxlx4074 I forgot now off the top of my head, it should be there though. If you go on Ktuner website it should rev limiter settings as an option now
Did you know the transmission for this car can still be ordered new from Japan? And it's $11k usd. Ask me how I know. If you ever sell the TL, let me know lol. Oh and if you know of any used transmissions up there in Canada land please let me know
Damn, I didn't know that. I paid around 3k CAD just to repair 2nd gear syncros. Still crazy, you can buy a whole GT4 ST205 for that price. Very hard to find the whole car manual, the parts for the manual are even more rare sadly
