Rick Case Acura has a 3.5 TL Type S-X

Im sitting here at Rick Case Acura (Ft Lauderdale), in their INternet Lounge. This is the only Acura dealer with its own Performance Shop. The Shop put together a White Type S-X model. It boasts 315 HP which includes Cam work, headers, CAI, and new suspension. On the outside, it has a body kit, spoiler and wind deflector. It retails for 39,000. This is a non-navi unit. Thought you all would be interested.

Im here to get the sunroof rattle fixed.

I'll have to return with a camera; As far as looking under the hood, there isnt much that can be seen other than the CAI and the header. I asked for a test-drive, but it was promptly declined.

Ask them if they did anything to the transmission. It seems that as performance oriented as they are surely they have thought about that before they did that work. (I'm hoping that is one of their mystery mods!)

It was mchtypes. His car got stolen. I've heard of a black CL-S down here in Miami that has the upgrade. I'm trying to find out more.

The last one I saw, doug had it to put up 335hp. The white Type S-X I heard is only $36k.

wouldn't the camwork they are talking about be switching to an mdx cam? or is it an entirely new cam design that they have developed.

i know there is a lot more work done to the car, that is pretty obvious. i was just saying that because of the person before that said the mmII might be the cams that they have put in the 3.5 upgrade. i thought they just used mdx cams and i doubt that would be the mmII. never know, though.

Actually, I'm not sure if they were MDX cams on the blue TL-S that was done with 335 hp. I remember doug saying something about the MDX cams which I don't remember what he said. He had the MDX cams at first, but he might have used different cams !!! sorry
