Pictures of my wife's New Grocery Getter on 19's

956-SPEED · 10-05-06, 10:38 AM

Hey guys I haven't been on this site in a while. I was wondering if Spartacus ever sold my former 95 Milano red LS coupe 6-speed? I just recently bought this for my wife. I sold her 01 MDX to my brother and bought this one. Daughter loved the Navigation and DVD. I had to do a few things to it.

956-SPEED · 10-05-06, 10:45 AM

Yes I wet sanded and rubbed her out. I was amazed how much orange peel Acura allows on these new cars today. I just bought this 2005 MDX touring model with navigation and dvd earlier this month, it currently has just over 7000 miles on it. The rims are off a 2007 Acura RDX in Silver Sparkle. They are 19 X 8's. I had them install the 05-06 MDX TPMS sensors so that they would be compatible with my vehicles monitoring system. The tires are Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asymettrico's in a 255/50/18. they are the exact same dimensions as the stock 235/65/17 tires on the 17 X 6.5 in rims. No rubbing and they handle incredibly. I added the chrome side steps, fender flare kit, rear tailgate spoiler, moon roof visor, wide body/door moldings, rubber trunk tray, sliding rear privacy pull cover, rubber and carpeted floor mats and locking lug nuts. All I have left to do is tint the front two windows in 35%. I really like this SUV and love the black interior.

Nice lookin ride!!!

I believe Spartacus still has your old coupe.

956-SPEED · 10-05-06, 11:01 AM

I remember SPARTACUS trying to sell it on E-bay and the auction never met the reserve. I was very curious if anyone on this forum ever bought it from him and if it ever made it back here state side. I know he wanted a 4 door black on clack GS 6-speed. Boy do I miss that car.

Cruising back from the oilfields in Alberta...

Supra2NV decided to keep the black GS 6 speeds.

GreekPower · 10-05-06, 12:43 PM

very nice would look better with chrome rims.

bboarder711 · 10-05-06, 02:53 PM

DAMN that looks NICE rims fit that car perfect

JTYanksFan · 10-05-06, 03:16 PM

That MDX is beautiful! I love the rims from the RDx on it too! I am thinking of getting rid of my Jepp and getting an 04 or 05 Touring model myself. Good job on the upgrades!

aww-shiet · 10-05-06, 03:19 PM

i absolutly love the MDX. the first time i sat in one, it took me a while to get out. in the future an MDX is a deffinate buy for me.

Cory23 · 10-05-06, 04:00 PM

how long did it take you to wet sand?

Alperovich · 10-05-06, 05:03 PM

damn dude, the mdx looks really good with those rims. I like them alot.

Ps. we are having another meet coming up, any chance you can make it?

Kenso · 10-05-06, 06:29 PM

It takes balls to wetsand a brand new car, and a black one at that. Props to you, I agree that a lot of new Hondas and Acuras have a pitiful amount of orange peel. Definitely not up to their old standards. I'll bet yours looks great now that you went over it yourself.

s55lear · 10-05-06, 10:53 PM

daaaayuuuum. the rdx accessory rims look tight on the mdx! props.

SPARTACUS · 10-06-06, 12:23 AM

Still got it Mark....It aint going no where unless someone pays the right price. YOU gave it to me in the most superb of conditions and I have kept it so. Just tuned it up, changed the plugs, cleaned the K&N filter and now I'm about to the brakes. Factory Milano Red Paint next year...

supra2nv · 10-06-06, 12:33 AM

nice MDX!!!!! I must have one lol. Digging the wheels...looks like an X5.
