Im back !! Just bought an '06 TL 6MT w/ 70k.

Since May of this year I been through a '99 Civic Si, '02 S2000, '04 Pathfinder, '04 Accord Sedan, and now have the TL. I owned a '02 TL before the Si, but didn't really like that year model.

I have always wanted one and plan on keeping this one.

Plans:
-Tint Windows
-OEM Window Visors
-H&R Sport Springs
-OEM F/R Lip (maybe)

 

nice pick up! looks familiar...hmmm wonder why?

 

^explain TLtrigirl!!!

 

Her sig ..

"2005 TL 6MT w/ tech--AM/ebony"

 

Wow you change cars often...congrats on the latest pickup!!! Why didnt you like the '02...my 2G was great, but luckily I had no tranny issues

 

I was not crazy about the body style. I bought it and then did research and found out about all the tranny problems. I didn't want the headache. I traded it for a Civic Si.

 

oh, I knew it was her car.
I was just mad that she didnt tell me!!!!!!!!!

 

c'mon justn... you've seen a pic of my baby.

AM FTW! though i haven't seen my stockies in a long time.

nah that pic isn't mine...but the car looks familiar...way back when...so that's what it looks like stock. AND without a roof rack. not too shabby.

 

Grrrrrr. now i'm being pullled in all sorts of directions!

 

??? huh?

 

^nvm.

Welcome new member...kinda!

 

welcome aboard dude

 

Got a pic of your AM (how it sits now)?

Thank You !

 

Congrats, are you planning on keeping this one for awhile? haha jk

 

Friesen, nice to have you "back in the groove". Sorry the others are hijacking your thread.

 

Yes, I plan to keep this one.

NP and Thank You, Steven.


Anyone have a pic of H&R Sport Springs with 17" OEM Wheels & 235/45 Tires. I want to see the gap with OEM spec wheels/tires.

 

^^^ Here you go...

 

Looks good. How is the ride?

 

Welcome to AZ, congrats on your TL

 

Went to the Acura dealership today and had the idler pulleys replaced. They were making some noise. It is nice and quiet now.

PS: The parts guy was trying to tell me that my car was a Type S (and someone took my wheels and taillights) because it was a 6MT and had Brembo brakes. He said they didnt make a base 6MT according to his computer.

 

lol @ parts guy.

should have asked him to read the vin number.

 

haha. yeah.

 

Nice AM! I have one one to

Make sure u post updates and pics when you got some mod's going

 

The ride is excellent!

 

Congrats on the new ride.

 

My plans have changed slightly. It will be a slow build, but will eventually get there.

-Tint Windows
-OEM Window Visors
-H&R Sport Springs or H&R Race Springs
-OEM Front Lip
-Custom CAI
-5mm Wheel Spacers

 

meh...window visors (i guess if you really like them). by OEM lip i'm assuming you are referring to the aspec lip? most will say the CAI is an overpriced noise maker with no real power gains....so....up to you. i have one...its a nice noise maker when i actually WOT. i'd say get a RSB instead of the visors, but its your car.

 

Yes, A-Spec. Front only. I don't really like how the rear lip looks on the side. Visors and the CAI will be last. My buddy (go-autoworks.com) will make me a custom one.

RSB? Rear Sway Bar?

 

yes^^

 

Upgrade to the 20mm TL-S? I ran the CTR 22mm on my Civic Si along with the 26mm front. I was going for a track car though. Full Tein coilovers, LCAs, JDM ITR engine swap. I do miss that car.

My goal with the TL is a DD that has comfort, style, and is fun !


:Tear:

 

Looks sikk as eff ^

 

6MT already has a 20mm RSB...the upgrade would be 22 mm H&R (comptech has been discontinued) OR progress RSB 24mm adjustable (group buy is currently going on).

the progress bar...WOW! added to my aspec suspension set up... still comfy enough for DD. it will ride firmer than stock, but it just depends on what you're used to to. the fun factor goes up quite a bit. i know it did for me.

clean civic you had there...sleeper look...nice.

 

Cool. I dont think the 20mm to 22mm would be that noticeable, but the 24mm should be. I will keep that in mind.

First priority would be tint, springs, and spacers.

 

i must be crazy but i didnt notice much difference after going from a 17mm to 24mm rsb. Then again im on coilovers, which was the most change i felt, suspension-wise

 

That is weird. You should have. It is about 50% larger than OEM.

 

Been doing some research on here.

Updated List:

So far:
-Installed OEM Bumper Plugs (Paint Doesn't Match)
-Replaced Idler Pulleys
-Replaced Cabin Filter (Looked Original)
-Replaced PS Inlet O Ring
-Got New Shift Knob (ARC Style)

ASAP List:
-Tint (Solar Gard Supreme 28)
-DIY Moleskin Kit
-Mid Muffler Delete
-Install OEM Exhaust Tips (Came With Aftermarket)
-K&N Drop-In Filter

Long Term Plans:
-OEM Window Visors
-OEM Front Lip
-OEM Deck Lip Spoiler
-H&R Sport Springs or H&R Race Springs
-Custom CAI
-5mm Wheel Spacers

 

On the H&R Race Springs, if I'm not mistaken, they are lower than the Sports Springs, so just know that going in.

 

I know. Race Springs lower it 2"F/1.75"R.

I just need to make of my mind on how low to go.
