Competition History
Car was built in 2005. Campaigned heavily in 2006, doing really well in Production class, regularly beating the G2 and G5 cars. Quite a few class and 2WD wins, including overall 2006 2WD Rally America West championship. Competed and won the 2006 Rally America Regional Rally Cup (Production Class). Finished 3rd/4th overall on a couple of occasions as well.

Can be configured for G2 or Production class. Basically we install a cold air intake, remove the door panels, when competing in G2. I’ll throw in the cold air intake and the air filter.

Car sat for quite a while after spinning a rod bearing at 2007 Oregon Trail (an overly aggressive downshift by me). Took us a while to get around to setting it back up, as we were campaigning another car around that time too. Rebuilt the motor in 2012. Car has basically been sitting in my garage since. Took it to a rallycross in March of this year, discovered the alternator had failed (still did pretty well).

Car is sorted, fast, fun, easy to drive, looks good and is ready to compete. Just needs updated belts.

Includes Generous Spares Package
I have to sort through a massive pile of spares. Some of the parts are the same as my other rally car, so I’m not quite sure what we’re keeping and what we’re going to getting rid of.
Several doors and fenders (painted and ready to install)
Entire Rear Clip!
Entire Front Clip!
Extra Chassis if wanted
Brake Rotors
Brake Calipers
Subframes
Steering racks
Several sets of wheels at tires (we can discuss)
Some of the tire spares are unused

If planning on shipping the car, I think we can put together a shrink-wrapped palette of spares for shipping, but buyer will have to arrange pickup, u-ship or whatever from Bellingham.


Serious inquiries only, please. Car is located in Renton, WA. Spares are in Bellingham, WA. kris@atomicinfotech.com

Have tons of more photos if needed.

Selling because I have another rally car and could use the space, and some funds to finish a couple other projects.

Vehicle is for sale locally, reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells outside of eBay.

2013 Acura ZDX

What Is, What Could Have Been, And What May Yet Be
History is largely unkind to losers. That's true in the world of politics and sports, and it follows on with a few caveats in the realm of automobiles.
In terms of cars, historic losers tend to be remembered in one of two broad ways. Every once in a while, unsuccessful or oddball models actually make reputational gains after some time away from the new-car marketplace. I consider the Saab 9-2X one of the recent poster children for this group; a car that moved like molasses on dealer lots in the mid-2000s but has morphed into a sort of hard-to-find, used gem in recent years. More often, though, that which was unloved when new remains unloved with tens or hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer. Pontiac's seriously misunderstood Aztek has king status here (despite the wailings of oddball fan clubs across the nation), so much so that invoking "Aztek" as a pejorative stopped being pithy about a dozen years ago.

Acura preps ILX for endurance racing challenge

Thu, 01 Nov 2012

Acura has used the occasion of this year's SEMA show to unveil a 2013 ILX that is remarkably different from the road-going car that we are familiar with. A far distance from the rather mildly performing street car, this ILX Endurance Racer is actually prepped to race at the grueling 25 Hours of Thunderhill in Willows, California.
The ILX racers (Team Honda Research has prepped two of them for the race) have actually each been constructed using two donor ILX sedans: one body-in-white chassis and one full production-spec car that donates powertrain, interior and electronic components. Overall, increasing the performance of the car was done mostly through extensive weight reduction rather than bumps in power. No figures have been given for the output of the ILX's K24Z7 engine, though we are told that a custom intake and exhaust have been fitted, as well as a racing flywheel.
A prominent LED lighting system dominates the front fascia of the ILX, along with a huge front splitter, while a massive wing speaks to the intentions of the car.

2021 Acura TLX Review | Back to the future

Thu, Dec 3 2020

The best-selling luxury car used to be an Acura. The brand's combination of reliability, quality, design and driving dynamics clearly resonated with buyers. In the past decade-plus, however, those last two elements stopped resonating, while the Acura brand subsequently lost its luxury luster. Simply put, the 2021 Acura TLX is intended to turn things around. Its look is bold and athletic in a way not seen since the best-selling TL of the 2000s, while its long-hood/short-deck proportions are like no Acura that's come before. Although they're usually indicative of a rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan, the TLX remains based on a front-wheel-drive architecture with Acura's brilliant Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system. A return to a double-wishbone front suspension ensures truly charismatic handling. That architecture is also unique to Acura as opposed to being related to the Honda Accord. All of the above adds up to a new TLX that's a far more compelling and competitive luxury sedan. If you're considering a BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 or Mercedes-Benz C-Class, it's definitely worth expanding beyond the German borders and giving Acura a try. It's different to be sure, but different can be good, especially for driving enthusiasts who've seen some zest ooze out of the 3 Series in recent generations. Even its interior is suitably luxurious in quality and distinctive in appearance – it looks like nothing else out there and, importantly, doesn't give off the vibe of an Accord in dress pants. While we're not ready to declare it any sort of class leader, it's worthy of playing with the big boys. What's new for 2021? The TLX was completely redesigned for 2021. What's the TLX interior and in-car technology like? The TLX cabin has a modern, high-tech look that won't be confused with something in a European luxury sedan. Materials quality is excellent, while padded simulated leather on the dash and doors provides an undeniable air of luxury. There are style differences between trim levels as well, most notably the open pore wood trim and ambient lighting in the Advance (above left) and the A-Spec's sport gauges, unique aluminum trim and available red leather (above right). There's still some switchgear shared with Honda – particularly the annoying push-button shifter – but at least Honda makes some nice switchgear.  There are notable, Acura-only exceptions to that. First is the large silver knob prominently placed on the center stack that controls the car's driving modes.
