Hey fellas glad to move over to the TL forums and join a new family. So got myself a new 2008 TL Type-S this past weekend for $18K with 82k miles. Used to drive '97 CL 3.0 Black with red led swap in the interior and K&N filter. Here it is before I get windows tinted and Full A-spec lip kit like to keep it stock in the engine for now I find TL's have sweet bodies and not much tampering in engine till you really need it. Done with the talking here are the pics.







Oh forgot to mention this. . . . . look what my dad has too. It's also an '08 TL Type-S 35% tint all way around, I'm gonna go darker.

 

Like father, like son.

 

very nice!

 

yin yang style yeah? baller.

ANOTHER family with a PAIR OF TLs...CONGRATS!

Congrats OP!!!

I am currently looking to upgrade and go for a Type-S which I plan to keep for a few years to see what the new Gen MDX looks like. As that will be my last car I wish to own.

Question looking for a commuter car for my mom gas reasons, I was looking into the 1G CLs. How did your 97 treat you? Any problems I should be concerned with, electrical, mechanical?

Not sure does it use premium fuel or regular unleaded?

 

I would look out for tranny issues that's all ive had maybe replacing timing belt nothing came up just make sure you check out car's history. and use regular gas premium helps car run better but is expensive in places

 

Ugh, I didnt know the tranny issues plagued the 1G CL's too. My mom saw a light blue one and she loved it, she wants a small coupe thats good on gas etc since her gas guzzler GMC Envoy XL is not helping her with gas prices increasing.

Oh I know gas is expensive its like $4.70s premium in San Diego area in Cali. I'll just tell her to look into an Integra as I dont want to worry about tranny issues. Sorry mom no CL for you.

 

Yeah i'd go integra i only had problems late in mileage. Now onto my Type-S to save the day

 

Only bummer thing is some integras are modded or priced too high for the amount of miles and condition they are in.

At least with a few CLs I found were low 100k miles but I guess I dont want my mom to gamble paying for tranny issues on such an old car that she just need to commute in.

I'll steer her towards and S2000 lol
She loves driving MT !!!

 

howww purdyyy

 

Awesome Type-S's. My son has a 07 SSM Type-S. Welcome to AZ! Register them at www.myacura.com and save your radio and navi codes there for safe keeping.

 

Update:
Currently have Xlr8 quad exhaust with resonator in production as of 5-13-13
Also waiting on ATLP J-pipe also is on back order 4-6 weeks as of 5-8-13
Exhaust is 1.5 weeks from obtaining shipping information.
Really hoping I had these two upgrades done before the National Meet-Up in KC, MO, we'll see how it all works out.

 

pics?

 

It's killing me having to wait, as soon I get them on pics will be flying on here and sound clips. I hate teasing but being teased for 4-6 with the j-pipe and 2-3 weeks with exhaust sucks. But ASAP you will all see.

 

Car looks awesome congrats! I can tell those pictures are old as it looks like its still winter in those pics. Get us some updated pics nowwww!!! :-D

 

They look great!

 

Exhaust system from Xlr8 and atlp j pipe are here!
Installing exhaust and j pipe this Saturday weather just got hot so it's stalled till saturday after I get her tinted.
Getting 35% tint all around with 20% glare strip this Friday.(Johnson brand)
Pics and video up by Monday
Would like to rename thread Lilbatman636 Progression Thread

 

Evan, can't wait to hear the exhaust.

Also might want to have this moved over to the photo section if you want to do a progress thread. That is where most of them are anyway

 

Will do man thanks, the wait will pay off this weekend.

 

Wow, from the angles posted your dads car doesnt look nearly the same as my NBP Type S with 35 percent. Do you know what brand tint he has?

I like mine at 35% but it does look like 25%

 

Very nice, congrats. You have such a cool dad omg lol

 

Loving the white S!! Awesome that you and your dad has the same type of car!

I should've persuaded the wife to get a Type S for her daily.

 

My pops has an 08 base tl! How cool. Cant wait to hear your set up.
Pic's and Vid's!?

 

i wanted a white tl-s lol i had to settle with a silver one, nice pick up!

 

Just got here back from the tint shop looks sexy, pics up in 10min. Dad had legal limit here in ks Wichita is 35%. My car has Johnson brand specifically Marathon tint guy said it has charcoal look and was darker shade even though its still 35% with 20% glare strip.

Can someone move this thread to Photo gallery starting progression thread?
