welcome- have a look thru the thread titles and various sections for info about your car and what probs to look for
First thing is register with acura as the new owner and ask if all recalls have been taken care of and if you are part of the 7yr/109kmiles trans warranty group
call 1-800-382-2238x5
Some 03 got a recall on timing belt pulley!!

next, know your radio and nav security codes, write them down in a few secret places--
you will need them when the battery dies

read the owner book cover to cover- ABS and traction control needs to be understood and practiced with in a safe place

use only NGK Iridium plugs

OP, welcome to the boards!

Check out the DIY section for quick and easy mods.

You can also find a ton of things in the Black Market in the Off Topic section because there are a few guys that have part outs going on right now.

GL with everything!

congrats on the car buddy, be respectful to other members around here and you will get a TON of help and gain a TON of knowledge pretty quickly...

just be sure to use the SEARCH button before you go starting threads on every question you have, 75% of the time you'll be able to find the answer to your question by searching rather than creating a new thread that we've already seen around here.

good luck and get some pics up!

if the search doesnt help you here- use internet search for the subject + acurazine.com
It will dig thru the records here regardless of 3 letter strings etc

welcome. hope you learn lots here.

you did pay a lot more than you should have, but maybe the last owner put in a lot of maintenance before he sold it...timing belt, tires..etc


and it doesnt sound like your headed in the vip direction at all unless you are going to paint your CF hood body color. also if you wanna go vip, leave the grill alone.
