Hello all,
My name is Benn. I just purchased (and traded in my 89 integra turbo on) a 2008 TL base a few weeks ago to serve as my daily for my VR4 (wish i could have gotten a type s but could not find one
). I've been lurking on here since the day after I acquired it, but just getting around to signing up...I'm not new to Honda's/Acura's or forums though. My plans for the car are not too extreme. I'm going to do the most I can to it performance wise, but more than likely stay N/A. So far, I have done the following:
20% side windows, 15% back glass
Custom test pipe
Stage 1 exhaust mod
Stock intake box mod
34.5lbs lighter than stock weight following The TL Diet
Anyway, here are some pictures..

Yea, I plan on fixing the wheel gap issue to come down from monster truck status lol. Also these tires that came on it are loud as fuu.. Damn Fusion HRI's
I was told after the deal that i could have gotten tires added into the price..
Whatever though, I plan on getting some wheels too so if i did get tires they would be worthless soon..

Thank you guys. I love both of my cars, even though the VR4 has pretty much been sitting since I got the TL. Hopefully I can get around to tuning on it some this weekend but probably not..

Haha, I'd recognize that username anywhere! Your stealth is one of my favorites!
I'm on 3si as blue3kgtsl (because I joined when I had a 91 sl.. Then I graduated to my vr4)
Then when the whole auto forums thing went down I moved over to 3sgto as unknownvr4
And I'm here as b.p. (because I couldn't think of anything better when signing up on either of the last two lol)
Thanks

Great cars. I've always been a sucker for a nice VR4, and yours is the opposite of an exception. Looks fantastic! Anyways, welcome, and looking forward to seeing where you take the TL!
