aw man no way. now you're thinking of leaving us too? but yea, times are changing and like it or not, our TLs are getting old. Maybe some sort of forced induction will get your juices running again? in anycase, i love your TL.

I can honestly say that I still get a smile on my face when I am behind the wheel. Course I am a lil worried about the transmission issue, and there are better sport luxury sedans. However my TL-S still gets looks and satisfies me enough in performance. Maybe in a couple years I might consider something else, but for now I still love my acura.

Put a blower in it...Excelerate was looking for someone in the group buy. That'll change your tune. The TL was ahead of its time when it came out...

REV your TL was pushed to the limit as far as mods and things. I hear ya in regards to not really anything left to do. Like Overboost said throw a supercharger in there to see if boost changes your mind or go ViP like everyone else on the island.

REV-01 -- dude, you have a wicked car. It would be sad if you sold your car but you do what you have to do. I still love driving my car but I'm already looking ahead. The car is staying in the family (probably to my GF) so I still will be driving it from time to time.

When you do decide -- be sure to post pics. Mihalo.

Your car definantly pwns alot of cars on here but you have to do what you have to do to make yourself happy. No point in driving your car if it doesnt make you happy anymore! In short you should sell me your mugen grill and spoiler (if you still have them) (=

if you don't like it no reason to keep it.

look around at the new car scene. most the cars are less qualified than the tl.

you will most likley keep your car after you drive a few

I feel ya Rev, I have the same ride and I'm thinking of letting go too.

But it's strange because I've owned quite a few cars and aesthetically, I think the TL just simply looks sexy.

And no I'm not talking about the 3rd gen. I think the 3rd gen looks good in its own way (esp interior), but the 2nd Gen TL-S' with OEM kit just screams "sexy."

I just wish our tranny's were better built.

But yeah, I have a craving for a sporty RWD or maybe a small four banger (Si or RSX-S?) or maybe even a 6spd CL-S.

But do what I do. Sleep on it for a couple weeks. Then sleep on it for a couple more. And then for another week.

If the crave is still there, then do something about it (assuming it's financially feasible, etc).

No reason to rush into something on a whim. And yeah, the guys above are right; get a charger. I would love to, but still on my original tranny and would like to keep it if possible...

Whatever you decide, it'll be sad to see a WDP TL-S go.

This has been on my mind lately too. After driving around on my brother's IS300 lately (slightly modified: coilovers, sways and intake) the IS300 is just a much funner car to drive. T_T Might look into the IS250 or IS350, really digging the INGS kit, but for now lets enjoy the most out of the TL.

LS430 -> Celsior VIP conversion with JP Kit and 5.5" dish is my next project after I finish my 180SX/S15 build.
