2007 Type-S CBP with a stick in the middle progress
Good afternoon my fellow members I have been on azine for many years now and have been through a number of TLs 3rd, 4th,5th and now back to 3rd Gen TL. My love for the 3rd gen has never went away, I purchased my 3rd Gen TL this past July and have been very happy with it. I never really do progress threads because I am always very busy with work and life. But today I am starting this thread with some pictures of my baby, now I have a few mods that are sitting in my basement ( ASPEC KIT, New Michellin tires MXV4 tires, uncald sub) all of this will be on going on and in the car next month. I just detailed and waxed the car and did some paint correction. Here are a few pics enjoy ..

No new update but ran into a problem after changing my oil for the first time since I bought the car back in August 2016.
So I always use mobil 1 synthetic oil and also replaced filter with Honda filter. A few days after that I noticed a oil burning smell and it was pretty strong, so I put the car on my Rhino ramps and looked underneath to see this.
My immediate guess was rear main seal since it's right where the engine and tranny meet. So I called the Acura dealer where I got the car because they had replaced the clutch, flywheel and rear main seal when I purchased it. And sure enough the manager told me to bring it in immediately to have it looked and sure enough it's the rear main seal! They will be covering the repair but I'm wondering why did the seal start to leak when I changed the oil? Any input or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I will be picking up my car tomorrow they were able to relax the rear main seal and replace all fluids. My drivers side axel was starting to click so I had them replace both axels and they price matched delray acura price so it was 350 for the parts and they didn't charge me for the labor!!

I wouldn't use the 105 on your paint since the flake still visible, I only use 105 if the paint is haze or cloudy...
