Just got my TL....and new to the Forum

Hey Guys!

My name is marc and I just got my new TL. I got the 6-speed with Navi. So far I like the car a lot. I owned an Audi before the TL - so the FWD is a little different. I had the windows tinted today. Getting it debagged on Tuesday. Still looking for suspension, wheels, and a rear deck lip spoiler.

Are there any houston guys here?

Are there any good sites for aftermarket parts?

On my audi, it was chipped, with a bigger turbo, injectors....blah, blah blah - so what are the first few mods made to the TL?

Thanks guys!

Marc

hey marc. congrats on the new ride.

how are ya liking the 6 speed?

mods like kinda limited for the 3G TL at the moment; CAI (aem, injen, k&n), suspension (eibach, tein, comptech, a-spec), rear away bar (comptech), short throw shifter (comptech), exhaust (magnaflow, comptech)...

i got mine about 2 weeks ago, and i only feel the need to mod the suspension at the moment.

Welcome and Congrats. Not a Houston guy but just a few hours north of you in Dallas. Your Rockets are beating up on the Mavericks. Have fun with the car.

HAHA - it will not last if Houston keeps playing like they are.

I was just in Dallas Thursday and Friday for work!

Thanks for the info. The car is great. The acceleration is completely different from the audi, so i can not tell if it has the same pick-up or not. I will say that it has a ton of body roll, which will be corrected by the suspension and new tires.

I will probably pick up the CAI and suspension first while i search for my wheels
