Sorry if this is in the wrong place, cant seem to find an "Introduction" area, I may be blind who knows..

Anyway, just purchased a 2004 6MT, black (forgot the color code), TL.

Has 126,000 miles, and I would be the third owner, first owner bought and had till about a year ago and basically trashed the car.

I live in the NW FL area if anyone is around there. I'll edit the post and add some pictures from my phone now that I created this on my laptop.

Plans are to replace whats been lost or broken (alot of interior), change the interior to a darker color cause I can't stand the current color, its a tan interior.

Exhaust, intake, suspension, mild things here and there. I autoX my other vehicle sometimes and I'd like to take the TL eventually.

So yea, hello

Thanks guys, I'm enjoying the car so far although it needs suspension upgrades. Handles like an aircraft carrier haha. I'm used to being able to whip the rear end of my Accord out around turns.

Forgot to add, I drove 7 hours each way to grab this car from South FL. Had to find a 6mt, and black. Somehow found it there. 4800$ and voila. Should be pretty nice when I get into it more.

Look into the Progress rear sway bar when you start upgrading the suspension. You can get it from our vendors: Heeltoe, EndlessRPM or Excelerate.

Will do, my idea was rear sway bar, struts, springs. Or coilovers. Not sure which way I want to go with that. Mild drop since its already pretty decent stock. Maybe an inch, maybe 1.5. As soon as I can get into the marketplace I'll be trying to buy some stuff like interior trim pieces. Acura had some crazy prices on plastic lol..

For starters I would lower the car for a better center of gravity, and of course - better look! I would stick with tein, BC or isc is also popular
