I finally reach enough money to buy a dark emerald pearl acura touring luxury 2000 model I'm aware of all the problems it comes with so I'm here to begin fixing with the help of Leo Honda, Miami FL.

The car is at the shop now for inspection and this is the list he gave me for everything to be in 99%!

Now speaking about the engine as you see it haves a lot of problems..

so I have been thinking should I just swap out my J32A1 engine with a J32A2 from type s model?

I look a lot into cars but I have little mechanic experience so this site have been a great guide for me to get my car the shape I want it to be (;

 

Your rear main and head covers are leaking? Why do you need a new clock?

 

yes and my clock stopped working completely is wasn't a blown fuse :/

 

$1765 alone on engine work? You can get a new(used) engine for less than that with all the trimmings.

 

heres what i think....

as for motor work.. at this point.. i'd look for a type-s motor and 6spd trans and do the swap.....

 

you must be getting a new clock. id just as well get one from a junked vehicle.

 

how much do type s engine and 6 speed transmission go for? it cost me $1765 to fix the engine I rather just do that..

 

yeah is a new oem clock it wont be me putting the clock in is the mechanic where my car is at who's replacing it

 

bet he has never worked on a TL-that trans service,,, timing belt list has everything but the tensioners--which are very important

Do you already own this car or can you run from it still?

 

I purchase the car last valentines day

 

Engine swap for sure cls 6speed swap I'd look for one with the 90k service done timing belt water pump etc.

 

it will cost me $2,400 firm to change the engine to a type s how much will the 6 speed lsd transmission cost included O.O?
