Best car I've owned yet!! WDP TL TYPE SEX
hey what's up acurazine! my names david and i just bought myself a 2007 acura tl type s in white diamond pearl, 6 speed.
i've been looking for a tl-s for about 2 months with no luck. finally found " the one " browsing through the fourms but it was a 6 hour drive. i finally gave in and on my day off of work made the trip out to san fransisco from los angeles, ca. let me tell you, it was a LOOOONNNG drive but definitely worth the trip and money! the car currently has 41k miles and the interior is minty fresh. i've always had a soft spot for hondas/acuras and this is far the best cars ive driven or owned!
here's some pics of my previous rides.
integra db8 " gsr "
honda civic hatchback " ek " with k20a2 swap
lexus is300
and my current ride

I am completely jealous. A WDP TL-S in 6 speed was the one I was looking for. I needed a car at the time so I didn't have a lot to work with so I settled for a base AM 6mt.
Take good care of it! Maybe I'll take it off your hands in the future ^_^ Haha

heres another shot of my car after claying and waxing god did it have a lot of tree sap 
i finally had time to do the intake/throttle body coolant bypass and got a new air filter since the old one was clogged and dirty. i also got all season floor mats and full led interior
my next plans are j-pipe/intake and visors

Nice purchase.
I'm looking forward to your future modifications. According to your previous rides, you know what's good.

A little update - I got the mid muffler removed and added a straight pipe. A tad bit louder then oem just around the 2.5k-3k rpm range. I also did the slave cylinder check valve which was a pain in the ass. Shifting feels so amazing now. Thanks acurazine for the info

Dstah, in the lower right hand corner of each post is a button that is a Multi-Quote (the middle icon). This allows you to respond to more that one person in a single posting. Not sure if you knew that button even existed, but it's really helpful!
