new TL-S owner in Toronto

Hey,

Just purchased an '02 3.2 TL Type-S in white diamond pearl last night. Traded-in my prelude .

we're haing a TL meet this weekend. It's being held at Woodbine Acura (Hwy. 27 just North of 401). It's happening saturday morning at 10am. There will be an '04TL you can test drive.

good luck with your new purchase, congrats.

Actually, I won't pick up the car until next tuesday. But I'll see if I can drop by Woodbine Acura.

I already test-drove the '04 TL, and the '02 TL-S seems quicker for some reason. Is the new TL heavier? Can't really feel the 10hp difference with my butt-dyno :o
I like the sport suspension of the TL-S more than the regular suspension of the new TL...personal preference...


By the way, can anyone please tell me what are the exact engine differences between a regular TL and a TL-S? What changes did they make to result in a 35hp difference?

BTW, anyone live around Pharmacy & Steeles?
There's an Aegean Blue Pearl TL-S A-Spec in my area, just wondering that person is on this forum?

I would say the new TL doesn't feel as powerful due to the diff in torque curve. Thats my guess, the TL-S has peak torque from 3500-5500rpm where the '04 TL peaks at over 5000rpm.

Welcome aboard! Not that many ppl mod TL around GTA. If you see a modded TL, chances are they float around here.

Too bad I just put my stock wheels back on for winter today. Wanted to install the AEM CAI, but my racket set is missing

I'll be at the sat meet. See you all there.
