Hi guys,

I figured I would finally introduce myself today. I am new to the TL platform so I have been quietly educating myself on this car for awhile. I picked up an Anthracite 06 sport about three years ago from a local dealer. I was there actually looking at another car until I spotted my TL. The body looked pretty clean with no rust so I gave it a look. Then I saw it had the third pedal and got a little excited. Mechanically the car needed some TLC but I was ok with that for the right price. Needless to say I left with the car and some light work quickly got out of control. I now can list the handful of parts not replaced, restored, or modified easier than the ones that are. I have a total weakness for sporty type sedans.

Thanks,
Chad

welcome to the spot light, do you have any pics of the car? I just did a ton works on my car to bring back the glory days. Needless to say the MT usually get driven harder than the AT counter part.

Unfortunately I do not have any reputable current pics as it has been torn down on jack stands for a bit. Last couple of parts should be in later this week. Then I’ll wash her up and get some for you. Thanks for the interest.

Yea me too. My primary objective is to get everything 100% first before I start making any significant changes to it.

That's the way to do it!

I just picked up another '08 NBP Base and she's getting the 100K-spa treatment before I post pics--if I remember to get a battery for the camera...

Pics!!

For 2004-2006, the 6MT was the Sport model.
