Hi
Hello, I am new to the site. I just recently purchased an 03 TL Type-S. I joined the community to learn more about whats available for my car. My Accord got destroyed by a truck and my 240 has a blown engine, so this will be my new love.
....and Welcome to the wonderful Azine Family...

welcome- !!!
first thing to do is register with acura- some 03s got a recall on the timing belt pulley that you can add replace water pump to the job for a few hundred- thats the biggest part of labor on the 105 service- if the recall applies to you- its a score!
1-800-382-2238 x5 thats acura customer care- they need the address of current owner in case of future recalls
also register on here- different system -http://owners.acura.com/registration/registerstepone.aspx
Need the cars VIN for both of those
Ask the 800# if there are any open recalls, and extended warranty on seatbelts or other parts
Ask if you part of the `trans extended warranty` - ask for cars `date in service`- thats when all warranty started
It looks good!, now take a read thru the Off Topic link at top of pages- Wash and Wax section- Many great tips that will make any car look better than new

Very helpful to know how the traction and abs systems work,
the TL is a trick car with some special operating tips- things like seat heat limitations, proper use of VTEC,,,,
Its need for 91 or higher octane etc etc
If you have nav and need the newest disc- remove from drive unit and check version number- then check the website for changes since then
Its good to update every few years

Now i see =)
Lots of nice rides in that section. My first mod to do will be the oem lip. I think it really completes the look.
Then I need to see if an intake will void the extended warranty I purchased...

=) will triple check warranty today. The engine sounds soooooo good, but I know that an intake will really allow me to hear her.
