3G’s Seem to last

Here is my 2004 Acura TL with 153k on it. I have tried to keep it as clean as I can and hope you guys are doing the same. Post some pictures if you can

well for me the love and hate relationship with the 3G TL started back in 2011-2012 when I first got my TL.

Thank you Tim

Always appreciate the kind words. I've been itching to take the TL out for a drive, but the pollen is insane..

That Kinetic Blue is gorgeous. My Carbon Grey has almost 130k. I've put on 7k since ownership last December. Yesterday I put it in a little bit of an accident so I had to order a passenger taillight and I have to see about having my rear quarter panel straightened. But mechanically she's beautiful and from what I can tell... yes 3Gs last.

Here's my 2006 TL 6 speed, with 173k miles. I bought it and sold my 2008 TL Base, best decision I've made. This is my first manual car and I love it so far. I've also included a picture of the two TLs before the 08 sold. I thought two TLs was cool, but its nothing compared to Truonghthe's amazing collection!

My 06 had ~145k miles on it when I sold it and it was running great. I miss that car sometimes, it never felt as old as it was.

WOW SO BEAUTIFUL! 🤤 I like the orange rims with white. How does the supercharger feel? Is stock internals or built? My car has high miles but I’ve always wanted to do that

@04WDPSeDaN Its been awhile I seen a CT S/C on a TL, I remembered seeing the kit being mount on a J35A8 lol. Sadly the S/C can't keep up with the 3.5 demand other wise I would.

Thanks! Supercharger feels great! The additional power is well appreciated for 2021 standards. Internals are stock. To date, I have the most hp/tq from an out of the box comptech kit using the comptech engine management, stock injectors, stock ecu, stock fuel pump ect. I put down 334 whp while on those work wheels, nearly dead battery and 6 month old fuel. If I was to dyno it today with the A-spec wheels, fresh gas, new battery and new J-pipe, I'd probably break 340 WHP

About 11 years ago, I drove my co-workers brothers supercharged 6MT TL. He was all stock with the supercharger and I fell in love with the whine and power. My TL for sure makes a lot more power than his TL. A few months back I brought my TL to the dealer and had the same co-worker do a rack adjustment, I got several calls from the dealership (same one I worked for) if I wanted to sell or trade for the new TLX, I just laughed and said no thanks.. A few of the technicians threw offers and one of them really wanted the car but I wasn't willing to sell.
