New used TL owner
Hello fellow TL community,
So after a year of searching I found my 07 TL Type S with a 6 speed manual transnission. I paid 16k at a local dealership car had 98,000 miles on it (i know its kind of high). Due to the high milage i recently chaneged the timing belt, water pump, tensioner, idler pullies, serpentine belt, spark plugs and transmission fluid. The car is running great with out any issues. I got rid of my k-swapped 00 civic sedan for this car, I finally grew out of the swapped hondas lol. I've been going through the site for sometime now and there is alot of useful information on here.
Well I just wanted to stop by and say hello and post a few pics of my car.
When I brought her home
At my brothers shop doing the timing belt change
done with the timing belt
Thats all the pics I have for now. Future mods are function form coilovers, front and rear spacers, ATLP exhaust system and tint the windows

Nice! I paid almost the same as you did for the same exact car with the same miles; AND I just had my tb/wp and such replaced as well!
Looking really good! From the looks of it you can handle yourself around some tools so I'm interested to see your progress!
Btw; I went with h&r sport springs for a modest drop. It was great and felt like stock, but I quickly got bored of it and went with coilovers. Luckily for you, you can probably do the labor yourself and it's no big deal. But I had to pay labor for replacing suspension twice
If you want a lower drop there are also Tein s-techs. But honestly I've heard a few members install them with stock shocks only to have them blown within a few months because of how much it drops your car. Other members swear by them tho so it's a bit of a toss up. I haven't heard many stories like that with the h&r sport springs tho...they're actually pretty good.
Good luck!!
