New Type-S owner!

Hey guys just picked up an 07 Type-s. Got the car two days ago and im loving it. While this is only my third car it feels so much nicer than my previous 6MT G35. This forum looks like its full of helpful info. O and everyone here seems so much nicer than people at and G35driver.

Only have one pic of the car so far

My old 2004 G35:

Congrats Phantom, welcome to Acurazine. Please join our Type S Social Group from my signature below.

By the way, nice upgrade from your G! Plus, it looks like you've already got an Aspec Kit on it too.

Ya that was my second biggest complaint about the car. The TL interior is a big improvement IMO. The biggest problem i had with the G was the clutch. It made day to day driving unlivable. Still i miss RWD.

Welcome aboard!

Very nice TL to start with - very clean.

Nice RSX you had - front end conversion looks good.

What's in store for the TL?

Congrats on the TL-S!!!! I promise you that you'll love the driving experience! Before I used to hate driving in traffic but now, I don't even care. The car makes the drive enjoyable no matter what the traffic conditions are like!

Congrats Welcome to AZ! Check out the 3G garage for tons of info. Also register your TL at www.myacura.com in the USA or https://www.myacura.acura.ca/ in Canada. Save your Navi and Radio codes there. Check for any recalls your TL may need.

This. My only complaint about Acura. The LSD does make it better, but still just doesn't turn right. Hasn't stopped me from buying three over the years thought.

Congrats & welcome aboard!

I have both an '06 TL and an '09 G37 and I agree, I much prefer the TL's interior it's roomier for one. Truthfully, I just like the TL better overall period. It's so much fun to spend money on...

Thanks everyone! I have a few questions about the car and instead of making a new thread ill just ask them here.

1. At idle and in drive at a red light, i can feel a vibration in the car. I dont know if thats how the car is or if theirs something wrong. I know these cars have problems with motor mounts could that be it?

2. In the notifications , i noticed their was a warning from spetember 2010 that read "Battery voltage low, this might not allow air bags to deploy. See acura dealership asap" should i check it out or has this been taken care of and the owner just forgot to delete it?

3. Theirs a vibration thats coming out of the back near the subwoofer. If the subwoofers on you can hear it with the music. What would be the solution to this?
