You've already bought it so just forget about whether you paid good price or not. Just enjoy the beautiful luxurious sedan.

Congrats!!!

i think it's pretty good for a 2.0L, but yes, you do have to drive it like you stole it to nail the VTEC power band, which kinda sucks because it makes you seem immature on the road:p

True, true. I drove the RSX and revved the hell out of it and punched it...I guess the TQ sux on the car cuz it's a 4 banger. Overall, I thought the car felt pretty weak for a 200HP car. I guess it's so true when people say "there's no replacement for displacement"

The TL is not for me, I bought it for my in laws so no modding it.

I still have the X5 and 540...did LOTS more to the 540 since last year. Love the 540 to death now.

You know, after all these years I still haven't bought a Digicam. I will take pics of my car later this week with NovaWhiteTypeS...since he has a pretty kick a$$ camera.

Yes, my 540 is an automatic. BUT! To my defense it was the wife's car

I have Dinan CAI, AirFlow Meter, Stage4 Engine Download, Stage2 Suspension, Tranny Software Download, Front Strut Brace, Exhaust, and a 3.15 Rear End Differential. Oh forgot, and the "lovely" Dinan5 badge (I'm surprised no one stole it yet and put it up on eBay)

You know, I have no idea now how much HP/TQ I have in my car. I'll say that an almost equally equiped 2002 540i pulled 324HP/364TQ after achieving Dinan5. Do I have that much power? Not sure cuz did 3 different Dyno runs and they are all so lobsided can't say what is what....let's just say it's much faster than stock now.

Daryl Dews is my kick arse salesperson...he works for Radley Acura in VA 703-824-5700

He sold me my first TL when he was at a different dealer and I followed him over to Radley. If you do call him let me know, I'll make sure he hooks you up at invoice too.

Mr_Luv, what's your name and I'll give hime heads up. You can hook up with Daryl, or Ronnie Kim. They are kinda like "partners" and trust me, they hooked me up. How often does someone buy an 03 TL for $27,000. Hell, they were gonna sell me a TypeS for under $29,000.
