Thumbs up What is up!

How are the fellow Acurazine members doing? I'm a noob to this website, although I've been researching on this site for quite sometime, but never bothered joining, until now. I own a 3G NBP '05 TL 6spd which I'm very happy to have, and got a great deal on it. I find this site very informative from fellow members and I plan to start working on my car when I get back from deployment. I'll be continuing to post so that I can get those privileges of viewing all your guys' awesome rides.
Take care everyone!

Thanks, EvoToTL. Yeah, like i said before, I've been doing good research here, so I hope I find it very helpful. Lately I've been researching for possible turbo kits for the 3G, but I guess none has been in production for it. I've heard a few about the comptech superchargers on the TLs, most on the neg. side being over priced for its power outcome. But I'll continue researching.

Hey, it's always great to see a military Acuraziner coming in. I know it's not Air Force, but I just posted picks on my Facebook page of my flight with the Blue Angels, if you're interested in sneaking a peek!

Thanks for all the praises! Feels good to be welcomed here! Like I mentioned before, I'm heading out to the desert soon, so with my deployment $$$, I'll make big changes with the TL next year. For now I'll just work with rotors, suspension, wheels, and the A-Spec Lip Kit. That's just to start with...Hope you all are having great times with all your mothers out there on this special day..take it easy!
