New guy saying hello

What's up guys/gals? Just introducing myself as I joined the TL fam last Thursday when I picked up my WDP TL-S 6MT.

I'm loving it so far and am looking forward to getting through the break-in period...yawn.

That is all - carry on.

-Matt

Welcome to the site and i envy your combination with the wdp and 6mt.

Your avator is the best as well. I was close to seeing that car in person but due to work obligations was unable to make it to the track.

Thanks for the welcome everyone

ACCURATEin - I'm a big fan of Honda R&D's efforts over the past few years with the NASA Thunderhill event.

I had been running NASA's HPDE 4 group in my Evo last season but with it up for sale now that's done and I doubt I'll take the TL out unless the itch gets bad.

Damn...did you get that from Ed Martin? Oddly enough....I was looking at that very car a week or so ago in the middle of the night/early morning as I drove by and stopped just for shits and giggles. If that was the car...nice!

Where are you from? We should get together sometime ... I autocross all the time at the Indy region SCCA events....will be hitting the drags this year fairly hard (Tuesday and Friday nites mainly- @ ORP and Muncie possibly too) plus hitting the cruize-in's occasionally....all in the TL....lol. I bet I could put the mod bug into you in about two days....lol.

Michael - I did indeed pick it up from Ed Martin. It was the only 6MT they had and since I wanted NBP or WDP it worked out just fine.

I live around 86th and Towne so yeah we can link up sometime. I think I saw your car in an ad for the Winged Warrior show. I was up at Family Mitsu yesterday and I picked one up.

The good thing about the mod bug in relation to this car is that there doesn't seem to be tooooo much to do it. I'm sure I'll start with the basics at least CAI etc.

I have about $55,000 in mine at present including cost of purchase....so dont think you cant sink a small fortune in it. You can!

Good pick on that bad boy though....I must say....I immediately said to myself....if I didnt have all this money in this thing...I would trade this car tomorrow for that TL-S. I really liked that WDP MT TL-S.....glad somebody worthy picked it up!!

Yes....I was VP of the Winged Warrior Corp, so yes...I am in a LOT of their promotional materials you will see around town...lol.

Yes...we should get together sometime. I will shoot you a PM (you have to get some more posts built up before your PM privs are activated here....) and let you know next time we are going to a cruize in and where its at.

Sounds good, just let me know. I'm a big fan of the hood, they look great on WDP. How many posts do I need to get PM's active?

Hello and welcome. I just joined myself.

Best of luck with the car. I was considering the 6MT but I get stuck in too much bumper to bumper traffic in my daily commute. I used to have a 5MT on my Mustang GT. I loved it except when I was in traffic (Which is every other day)

Also I could never get my wife to drive a stick... Oh well
