The birthday boy got some great news. A lot coming !

Guess who the birthday boy is now (6.27.95) yeah im 27 now. i know im really young. but yes i drive an 04 Acura TL NA AT. my mom thinks im going ti marry my car, and i would if i could. but since i "spend all my free time cleaning and ,fixing my car" she let me get a bunch of things for my birthday . totally surprised because she hates me trying to make my car fast. but hey," nothing is fun unless your number one". just made that up haha.

but here is the list of things she is getting me w/ pics
1. paying to have my greddy evo 2 catback installed.
2.ATLP J Pipe
3. Blk/Clear Rear tail lights
4.k&n CAI
5. 17 in Black rims
6. Front Headlight tint
7. A Spec Lip kit

i Know i am new, but i hope you guys welcome me and in the future i hope i learn alot from you guys and receive help. its a great feeling to see people more or as interested in their TL as i am into mine. thanks and have a great day Acurazine

-Nobles

I almost feel bad for stopping his post off


edit: if you were born in '95, that does not make you 27, unless they changed the rules of math ?

^what!? why!??

your engine is good. assuming, its never been over heated, and or over revved.
at 120miles, the engine is just starting to break in.
there is no reason to replace it, unless something is wrong with it.

Sweet deal man. I have some advice on some of your components:

1. I wouldn't recommend 17 in. rims unless you're interested purely in performance and as a result, also go with something lightweight such as Motegi Traklites (14lbs) or Enkei RPF1's (15lbs). Certainly nothing over 18lbs per wheel or so otherwise it's not worth it IMO. 17's look small on the TL. The stock rims are 17's but they get away with it because of the larger lip. If you're in it for the looks, which most folks are, I would recommend 18's or 19's. Yes, you'll have to buy new tires. But if you're in it for the looks, 17's are going to look quite small on your car. There's a strong chance you'll regret it (again, if you're not it in STRICTLY for performance and weight loss).

I love my Enkei RPF1 17's because it was like someone kicked my car in the ass after I replaced my heavy 25lb. stockies with them. But there's no arguement that they look dinky on the car. A lower suspension helped, but they still look dinky (just not as dinky with the aspec suspension).

2. The manual swap is a big big project. It requires an extensive list of parts and modifications. It's no where as easy as just picking up a manual from a junkyard and bolting it on. There's a very small list of people who have done this successfully and most of them have said that it would have probably have been more financially wise to just sell their auto TL and buy one with a manual. At 17 with limited knowledge of mechanics and a limited budget, this is likely out of your abilities and finances.

3. There's a little debate on the benefits of a CAI with the TL but the overwhelming feeling is that it's of very little benefit. However, there's still a ton of guys that have one including myself. I wouldn't spend much money on it though. I'd recommend something like this with an AEM dryflow filter rather than K&N. That's just my preference:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-ACURA-T...05b5c9&vxp=mtr

Much less money, same effect. Minus the color.

4. Don't bother replacing the engine. If it's running fine leave it alone. Just do the maintenance on it and take care of it. This is a Honda product. Your fenders will rust away and fall off before the engine dies. Your tranny on the other hand, well, Honda isn't known for quality automatic transmissions. Which is why I have a manual. But there's a plethora of info on this site relating to that so do your homework and you should be fine.

Good luck mang

An Internet forum phenomenon that was founded in the audizine.com section of GCC in 2009 which basically explains the following:

If you are going to start a thread about girls or go on rants about a specific girl, you must provide pics. In the world of Facebook nowadays, pics are easily accessible, so don't puss the f*ck out and share. We need to know what you are referring to if you want our honest opinion or feedback.

If you are not going to deliver with pictures then stop posting about them. We don't want to hear about your shit unless you're going to be a team player. You expect us to give you support, sympathy, empathy, etc., then at least do us the favor of posting pictures of the broads. If you can't handle this then you should just quit at life right now.

How good is "very good"? I would consider back up plans if things don't work out the way you want them to. Don't be too hasty about disregarding the college route. Try to apply to school and try to get a full ride through baseball. That way, if you don't make the draft, you can still play ball and get a free education while you're at it.

Also, every azine member here would like a signed baseball card, jersey, baseball, helmet, anything that can be signed that's related to baseball when you make it big!
