[Retired '04 TL Thread]: Bye-Bye Acura..T_T Hello Lexus :)
Say Bye-Bye to my beloved 04 A-Spec TL and say Hello to my new baby SC! I've had many ups and downs with my TL especially with my transmission going out but all in all, I've had a good run and I will always remember my first.
I'll still be on Azine from time to time so it's not goodbye forever! +I've always wanted a V8, RWD, 2-Door, Convertible...PLUS it's a Lexus.lol
As some of you guys seen before, here are my most recent pics of the TL before I sold it:
And here's a vid I made a while back(has mostly the same pictures.lol):
And my new Queen!
I will keep you guys updated with my new baby. Happy Azining yall.
p.s. Anyone in socal wanna run me for fun? Just want to see how the new ride compares to what I had. Don't think there will be that much of a difference but still curious.. If so, HMU!

I hate that SC body style but after all that SC will last you a long time or at least you don't have to worry about changing ATF and pressure switches. Congrats.

I dont really like how those SC430s look either, but they ride great... I had an SC300 and it was an awesome car. It def needs some different wheels, Im sure youll find some nice ones judging by your taste with the TL.

Three Wheelin'
No a huge fan of the SC or Lexus for that matter but enjoy. Two things...
1. Change those wheels before you do anything else!
2. Clean out your garage... People like me with a tiny or no garage would kill for something like that! :-)

Lol. It was the previous owners. He's a radiologist, SUPER Ballin' house too. He just got the new Tesla S Model that's why he got rid of his SC. I gotta get rid of his sticker because it has his code # on it. :/
Yeah those wheels are Fugly.lol I did part out! I do have very few things left over but they are OEM, nothing aftermarket. 
Thanks! It drives real smooth and it's got some kick to it.
To me personally I love that SC body style, very nice and curvy. LOL about the ATF and pressure switches. I did the Redline ATF and Pressure Switch but tranny STILL went out after about 10~15k miles.. I Love Acura's but they gotta fix that tranny issue.
Awesome! I would run ya Justin cuz I want to see how it'll hold up against a 6-spd TL but you too faar. It'll prob take me with your mods though.
Anyone in socal with 6-spd HMU!
Thankss. Lol the 2014 IS is nasssty, a bad nasty. The rear looks like a civic/forte, they havn't put much emphasis on it. Looks very plain and ugly. Just my opinion. I'm sure it's hella fast though.
Yeah the previous gen SC's weren't too bad either, I actually have a 1995 SC400 I'm gonna put up for sale soon. Great condition with only 143,xxx miles, clean title. Unfortunately, I will have to ride on these stockies for a bit. But new wheels are inevitable.
1. Yes I know, just gotta take care of any maintenance that's needed since I purchased the SC used.
2. LOL that's what I keep telling myself. My grandma just moved to a smaller location and gave us some extra stuff, hence the garage. We just park our cars on our driveway. :/
I really wanted to. But too many problems with it, +the tranny wasn't the same after the rebuild.

those SC are still getting top dollar in the used car market, most asian people I know in Houston are sought after those SC body style in the used car market. Nothing beat Lexus longevity except for that dam suspension and that is the only issue I see with an old Lexus.
