Cool AcuraZine 3G TL Member Highlight #3 (RYAN97812)

I PM'd Ryan for some pictures and let me tell you, the ones he sent I cant post.

So I grabbed these from the Picture Gallery.


Ryan has been an ASE certified technician for 12 years, he does all his own work (and alot of peoples on the forum), he trys to find the time to work on the TL but spend alot of that working on his race car. Love to take pics with his g/f, drive around all of NJ with her and teachin her how to drive it. Owns his own house and has a three year old son Matthew.

So give it up for Ryan and his SSM TL:

04 Acura TL 6 Speed w/Navi
Comptech S/C
Cat back exhaust
Short throw shifter
Rear sway bar
Lowering springs
Koni yellow struts
19 x 8 Volk Rays G Games
245/35/19 Nitto 555's


Future mods, Comptech high boost pulley, Hondata reflash, Clutch & flywheel (if someone ever comes out with one!) NOS fogger kit under manifold.







As Ive said before, do not ruin this thread. This thread is to highlight members and their TL's.

Remember this is about his TL, not yours, not your color, not your mods. Feel free to ask him anything.

Do not ask any questions about why or how we are doing this. PM me if you have questions.

I will PM you when I pick you and I will inform you what info I will need....

and Ryan, do not post any of those pics you sent me...


Congrats on being the first SSM TL

That's a nice looking ride right there. Hopefully you do a lot of BMW dusting with it!

...not that I condone illegal racing or speeding of any kind though...

Congratulations Ryan!

...I remember when you almost sold your TL in order to fund the 9 second beast. And i'm glad you're keeping the Acura. Good decision my friend. Keep on doing big things in dirty jerz.
