Ive got an extra one of these (its the plaque by the shifter), Im thinking about puting it on the back of the car (like where the Type-S or TL badge would be as the only hint that its something different.
What do you think???

While I dunno about the badge, I say track it when you can and see how fast it is! It's weird to see that stick in a TL.

Kris, I am dumbfounded by this project. Congratulations, and know you have made the entire acura community jealous of you

very well done it looks like it was like that form the factory.

the badge - i dont know, tape it in various places then take a picture or something. i think it will look weird because the shape is awkward.

I love how the tach goes to 9k! GREAT WORK!

fsttyms1

??? I remember there being a thread and the guy had to do some work to get it to work. Mine is wired with the 03 harness so i didnt have to do any thing to get it to work

fsttyms1

Thanks. That display is for the Passport 8500. As for your car is there any body damage to the 1/4 panels? Or is it just limited to the bumper and trunk lid?

fsttyms1

Thanks. Yea as soon as i can get it cleaned up ill do that and get some responses

Just got back from a 500 mile road trip to Elgin Il this weekend, and the car ran Awsome. I averaged 80mph and got 29.5 mpg. I got on it a few times both ways that probably droped it below 30, plus the 30 or so miles thru the city. Its a little different seeing it curise along at 2750 rpm at 80 though

Oh and the Type-S motor with headers, exhaust pipe with no resonators and comptech mufflers on with quiet tip inserts in is

your car is SEX

it is actually a TLS6... wow that is great work kris... you should present that to Acura and get a dmn award for the work you have done...

I'd make sure all my oil changes were at the dealer (and different ones if at all possible) to watch them gawk.

fsttyms1

Yea ive thought about that, BUT the 2 dealers we have in this state are both a hr 30min + drive. I am thinking about stoping in and saying my car isnt shifting right and having them look at it thought to see what kinda reaction i get

03CoupeV6

Haha if you travel with the TL, stop at dealers along the way with that excuse. They'll be like:

"What kind of car do you have?'
"A TL 6 speed"
"Oh, is it 04, 05, or 06?"
"It's a 2000."

fsttyms1

No id probably just say my 2000 tl doesnt seem to shift right. wait for the tech to come out and be like

kuni808

OHH MY GOD. that is so beautiful!!! Im about to cry and go to heaven. haha. man you hav one of the sickest TLs out there. good to see that everything is going well. So your ABS and AirBags done work?? hmm. i think i might have to think about doing this one day when my other warrenty goes out good job bro!!!

fsttyms1

airbags didnt work before project. wouldnt b hard to get them to work. ABS needs a different motor, cause the CL-6 doesnt have tcs/vsa built in

And be sure to video tape it so we laugh w/ u lol..if they ask how u got a 6 speed, be like "oh...its a limited edition- probally why u havent seen the badging on the trunk before" lol

blk2001tlon19s

Type S limited Edition model ...lol

desired_speeds

wow, you completed it! good job! btw, how did you relocate the parking brake?

joe80055

fsttyms1

bought the cl-s6 parking brake and hooked it up. it hooked up and bolted right in

blk2001tlon19s

Kris, don't you want to drive to my house and install my new motor/trans for me?

fsttyms1

Sure, but your doing the wiring

Flyboy4yang

Damn, now that is how the TL-S should of came. Good job. Like said before go run at the tracks and get some times.

joe80055

The red tool I see you used to raise your tranny and engine, is that what is called a transmission jack? I've been looking around online for one, but I wanted to be certain if that was what it was called. Got my tranny today, it's so heavy that a lift had to be used just to get it into my friend's trunk before bringing it home. When you installed yours, did you bring it down from the top or did you raise it from below the car?

FL3.2TL

Kris, CONGRATS, about how much you spent on this project if you dont mind me asking?

Also, you should have a sticky and locked thread with final pictures IMO

fsttyms1

Its called a engine hoist. The tranny goes out thru the bottom.
The auto tranny is a PIG. The manual you can pick up with 1 hand.

I havent added it up yet but its somewhere between 5500-6000 i believe. Thats including the new motor too.

I do have a sticky with the final pics.
