No Mas TL

After 3 years I sold the TL because my Photography/Film business has called for more equipment. More Equipment calls for more space, space the TL just didnt have... But alas I have stayed with Acura ( WTF else would I buy)... So today I bought a 2011 RDX in silver. After driving the car for a day now i dont miss the lowered cold aired TL at all... This RDX is a monster, the turbo sounds amazing, its huge inside, it handles great and best of all it smelllssss brand new... Pics will be posted tomorrow

they look weird from the outside.

But, I guess they are good value for the cost. Why buy new instead of used OP?

congrats on the purchase

not really a samll guy lol im 6" 1 and 185 lbs but its definetily bigger than the TL oh and the 135i I was looking at

but yeah im really happy with it. I love the performance its really surprisingly quick. The look of the front end has grown on me almost instantly. All im gonna do is CAI and a forged performance Splitter (hybrid bypass valve that vents to intake and atmosphere under high boost off petal dumps) which will give me more turbo sound from the intake and more Wooooosshhhh from the BPV

RDX is actually my second favorite Acura that I have driven. Small, yet sporty.

Custom RDX BPV

After selling my TL i got the RDX as you all know... well its got about 300 miles on it so its time to start modding

lol I ordered the Forged Mototrsports splitter valve that is a hybrid valve vents to intake most of the time but vents to atmosphere on high boost dumps... will keep ther car from stalling but give that sexy ass BOV "woossshh" we all love... this part isnt mede for the RDX so tomorrow I will be in the machine shop all day tomorrow making a custom base and bypass valve outlet tube to match the RDX specs... will give photos tomorrow...

Dear mods, I know this isnt about the TL... but I feel like I wanted to let all my friends over here in TL land about my current Acura workings... Im not yet adjusted to my home over in RDX ville

They did make an exhaust but I Love the stock 2011 exhaust its sexy as hell... so I will probably make a electric cutout after the cat... since I dont have to worry about backpressure issues on a turbo engine... BTW here is the stock Forge Valve... it is designed for VW and Audi BPV replacements

and here is what mine is looking like after a few ours work at the machine shop... little bit more to go tomorrow morning then installment... and videos...
