Dumped My 99 TL For 02 Type S

I sold my 99 tl last week with 45,000 miles for 19,700 . I picked up yesterday 02 TL type S 16K miles Navi and Kit from (Crazy Acura) I just got one thing to say DAMN!!!!. The type S hauls A$$. It feels 10 X more stronger than the 99. I do admit the suspension is real stiff but I will get use to it. Just wanted to share my new ride with everyone .

You will get used to the suspension... that car has a pretty good ride. Can I ask why you chose to get one with Navi?

Congratulations man!

Congratulations man!

For the price I paid the navi was what did it for me

. I also got aem powe pullies and ss brakelines. I alos got a V1 radar. (Crazy Acura) hooked me up swell. The car feels like a rocket compared to my previous 99. It seems I just want to mash the pedal much more than previously. I will be getting H&r springs here shortly to drop it and make it look even prettier.

Ya it did have some nice mods!!! The car rides 10x better than my 99. The tranny in the type s feels very strong no problems my dealer found . The dealer couldnt believe I got such a good deal on it . Crazy hooked me up and he didnt have to. In my book hes a stand up guy.

hey typesdragon

Hey, I got a 03 tl type s and i went to your web. I saw them optiblue 9005 highbeams. They are tight, i was wondering where could i get it cuz advance autoparts don't have it. I checked online and htye don't. Can i replace it myself or is it hard and need a professional?
