Goodbye 2G... Hello 3G!

So my 2G TL was totalled a few weeks ago and I have finally found a suitable replacement

2005, 6mt, navi, Anthracite Metallic

I have already put a deposit down for the V3 precat deletes... jpipe, 3rd cat delete, pulley, etc to come. One problem so far that I have noticed is a slight pull to the right on a level road. I am still trying to figure out exactly what it is. So far I have checked tire pressures, but nothing else. Any ideas?

Of course this is worthless w/o pics:

Almost forgot... the subwoofer rattle fix DIY worked perfectly. Acurazine FTW

Get an alignment at a dealer to see if it fixes the pull.

Register your TL at www.myacura.com. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need. Check to make sure one of the balancing weights didn't fall off. Tire may be out of balance.

Sorry to hear about the 2G but at least you got 3G out of it

I love AM and it's even better that it has navi and a 6-speed!

3G FTW. Drop and A-Spec lip kit should be high on the list. And +1 on an alignment.

Hmmm...

I was on the interstate today with cruise control on and noticed that the pulling to the right instantly stopped when I disengaged the clutch. I know that torque steer is something we have to deal with, but is this normal?
