So today I was at my friends house. My brother called me and asked me to come outside cause he had to ask me a serious question, I walk outside to his car and my mom is sitting in the drivers seat. Around the corner comes my new SSM 5AT TL. My mom surprised me and went to the dealership to bring my car home while I was taking finals.

Im excited.

Pics will be up tommorow (its dark out now, and its raining )

 

haha that's awesome. you probably thought you got busted for :blaze: , eh?

congrats on the new car. was it a bday gift?

 

 

When I got home after finals today I had to grab my video equiptment and start filming my documentary on hippies(im a right wing, so its funny as hell). One is a self proclamed anti-gvt guy who thinks bush rigged the ellection and was in charge of 9/11. Thats a hole other story, so please, dont respond to thta, just thought id share my day after finals. At 17 you are one lucky kid getting a new acura. Navigation? Its dark now, and its raining too. NE weather sucks. MY first car I will be buying myself a nice integra, the 195 HP one, and adding nitrous and turbo. Or I get a free taurus, ill use that as my beater, if we cant get anything on the trade.

 

i think the 195hp integra you're talking about is the type r, which is a great tight curve track car, but by adding turbo and nitrous, i'm guessing you're gonna drag with it? if so.... but thats only my opinion

 

Great to hear some younger guys on this forum have their head screwed on right!! Good luck on your documentary!! ........."The Anti-Michael Moore Movie"...lol

 

It's really hard adding a turbo or any kind of forced induction on a B18c5 (Type R motor), because the compression ratio is so high stock. (I don't remember the exact number off the top of my head.) A B18c1 (GSR motor) is much more accepting of a turbo. It has less HP stock than the type R, but has way more aftermarket potential.

Anyway, congrats on the new TL.

 

When I saw the subject line I thought this had something to do with Howard Dean.

 

I was thinking Lil Jon

"Yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhh"

 

haha nope, i dont smoke i was just nervous anyway. What question could be so important that couldnt be asked over the phone? I found out haha.

Yeah it was my birthday gift.

 

I wouldnt street race it, unless it was a closed coarse. As for forced induction, I know, Acuras have a really high compression ratio, but it has been done. As far as dragging, again, closed coarse, whether it was legally or illegally closed, I dunno. But I would mainly use the power for acceleration, not top speed. Nitrous would be a later project, first turbo. Maybe they will have a variable turbo charger for the integra by then, turbo lag sucks. Anywho, i get around 200 bucks from my parents on my birthday, you are one lucky kid. As far as teh documentry goes, I hate michael moore. I am gonna try to go out to www.bushstole04.com read the advertisement for their seminar and film that today. These guys thing 9/11 was a president plot. If you have any more Qs on that private message me, I dont want to PW. Navigation?

If I ever raced it, legally, I would build a cage.

 

haha same here.. Thats the first thing that poped in my mind.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.. ooooooooooooookkkk!!

haha.

They even got you the lip?! Out of curiosity, what are your folks rolling?

 

Ummm, cage? Turbo? you know you'll have to do suspension and probably engine internal build up as well. Plus electronics. I think you'll re-think turbo when you see the costs of getting all of this stuff. If you are serious about doing a turbo, do it on the GSR motor. its MUCH easier to deal with, trust me.


BTW, please throw away your fast and furious DVD NOW.

 

hahaha lol. By the way OP, damn I wish I had that. Right now I am rollin salvage titiled riced out 97 Accord LX Automatic with a whopping 130 HP!! WOOOT WOOT!!

 

Not looking for sympathy or anything, but my dad actually died on 9/11. My mom drives a lexus rx330. I work and get about 3-400 a month so I chip in some money for it as well. So yeah. By the way, its tinted too. haha

Question about the tints, my mom got it done at the dealership. Do they use moleskin? Is it dealer specific if they do or not?

 

I'm sorry. Just watching that footage is one of the reasons I am signing up. If thats not enough to deal with I got these people down the street saying GWB planned it. I am in no way sayin you don't deserve the car, I was just under the impression your parents had bought it for you and got you the spoiler and all. I doubt that until I have a real job(doctor, after the corps) I will ever be able to get myself a car like that, and as for my parents gettin it for me, yeah right. Have fun, good choice.

 

I don't know who that is.....

 

Congrats on the car!

 

you're one lucky kid...brand new 05' TL at 17...I wish I had parents like that...

 

what a great birthday gift! when I was 17, I think I got 50 bucks.

I dont mean to sound bitter, but I believe that cars should progress with age. When you're 16-19 or so, you drive the family beater, an old civic or a 92 taurus. 20-23, drive an integra or prelude. Then if you get a great job, go get whatever you like with your money.

Who knows...maybe i'm too old school...at 17, I was begging my dad to drive his 75 Chevy Malibu!

 

congrads and nice color choice what interior

 

When I was 17 my dad told me to get a job, or get out................no acura included, go figure.

 

my 16-19 car is gonna be an integra. May be stuck with the 97 taurus while working up enough to pay for that.

 

yo man!! my parents drive Rx330 too! and I am driving a TL too!!! as a b-day gift but I got it when I am 18 damn one year later

 

I have been driving acura TL's for 5 years now, I dunno if I will buy another though

 

sorry about being right wing, you're only 15 though...got some time
