Very intelligent. Thank you for that contribution. If our 2nd gen TLs blow, stay in the 3g side, sound fair?

Ignore people like this, you made a great choice. Happy modding

Walmart. Get the "yellow top" Everstart Maxx battery for $70. It comes with a three-year free replacement warranty.

CR did a test between the Optima and the Diehard Platinum recently. The Diehard Platinum came out on top.

Still, a $70 Walmart Everstart battery replaced every 4-5 years is a much better value.

There's always the "ignore list" option in your account. Maybe he's not happy with his car? Maybe sarcasm (ie lack of using red font)? Doesn't matter.

Glad you're on board, Hellomoto921. There's plenty of info here regarding the 2nd gen TL. Feel free to browse around and ask some of us 'older' members on this board.

He's right about optima battery.
My buddy had optima and he didn't like it.
He race his car every weekend.
The only thing good about it is a seal battery, so you can flip it up side down.

Hey all, I am also a new owner of a TL-S 03 and loving it. It fell into my lap and I am pumped. I used ot have a Civic SI 00 that I did a ton of work too, but was stolen right in front of me and I was almost run over by my own car...that was two years ago. I am glad to have found this place!
