Hey guys,

I am brand new, in fact, I am picking up my car next week. I just bout a blue abyss 2004 TL 6 speed MT. No navi

Are there any hints, tricks, or mods that I should do. I'm 19 buying this car, so for the first 6 or 7 months money will be tight while I get half paid for, then I'm just financing the rest for credit.

After that time, is there anything you guys would reccomend? I'm coming from a Chevy Cavalier... so this is a big step up LOL.

Thanks all!

Ryan

abp means abyss blue pearl. thanks for the link. mine's the same w/ the camel interior but i have navi. watch the scuff marks on the interior. it gets dirty quick.

 

Oh Thanks for the tip!

sorry about the double post!

Now, is the interrior color carmel or camel? ive heard both lol

I didnt get the navi because it was too expensive, and id have to wait. I coulda gotten a cl with a navi for the same price, but that would have gotten me in trouble... very very fast.

welcome to the CIRCLE.

starting spending more $$ on your ride for the MODS.

 

Congratulations, I'm impressed your already thinking of building up your credit at such a young age, good luck!

 

The window sticker that came on my car says camel so that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Now, I do know that the all weather mats are called caramel.

 

OHHH gotya haha...

Yeah, credit sucks! actually... paying for a TL sucks!! but driving one is fun! lol

 

ABP on Camel.... ! Way to go.
6MT with no Nav...again, Way to go.

Everyone that has seen my 6MT w/o Nav has commented "an MT like this is a Driver's Car. Why bother with nav?"

Honestly it's a personal choice. I see little need for nav given my driving patterns. If I traveled a lot with the car I guess I might feel different about it. I've never regretted not getting nav in my TL but I think I would get it in the next "family car" that would be used for road trips, vacations, etc.

 

yeah i cant wait. im picking it up on monday (tomorrow i have a funeral )

i woulda liked the nav, but for the price, wasn't worth it. i could get nav on my cingular 8525.

or i could just buy a garmin or magellin if i need one.

I CANT WAIT FOR IT!!

thanks for the reply!!

 

for that DVD Thing, is that to play dvd music using a dvd cd for the TL? if so, i only have 4gb dvd burnables... thats a lot of music!

 

There are a few ways to go for the DVD-Audio....
1) Buy commercially made DVD-A discs. They are 6 channel surround sound and some of them are really cool.
2) Use my GUI and your burner to create DVD-A disks that are just stereo but contain lots more songs than fit on a CD.
3) Try Cirlinca DVD Audio Solo. It will let you rip CDs or convert mp3s to DVD-A disks. It will also allow you to make your own 6 channel disks but that is more involved since you need to come up with the 6 channel source material on your own.

If you decide to make your own know that DVD-R media has been most successful for us. DVD+R has been very problematic.

Read up over in the Audio section of the forum. That will keep you busy enough that the time will fly by while you wait for the car.

 

thank you very very much. i really appreciate your info. im glad i found this forum lol. i have a lot of DVD R's for movies and such - those are the discs you are talking about right? I am just browsing because tomorrow I will be busy.

Thanks man!
