Stance Acquired v3.0
hey guys I just picked up a 2021 TLX A-Spec. I had been on the fence for a new daily for a while and I finally on a whim jumped on auto trader and pulled the trigger. I absolutly love this car so far. I told myself I wasn't going to mod it crazy but I've already got a list of mods im planning lol. I'm probably not going to mod it performance wise except for maybe a JB4. I have a NSX that's loud etc so Id really like for my daily to be nice and quiet. I just put a deposit on wheels today to start getting them made and im slowly piecing the type-s brembos. literally one part is backordered so I can't finish it until Honda decides to make it. I look forward to sharing my progress on this build. I'm almost finish with my NSX so it's fun to have a new build journey.

Ah dude that's awesome! I am happy to hear you are enthralled with the new design language from acura. I have been enjoying mine and I'm sure you will with yours.
How is the nsx running?!

my first official mod, the bbk off the type-s. these calipers are huge. I didn't expect them to be so big. I have the kit ready to install but unfortunately I can't install yet. there's one part that's backordered so I hope it'll come in soon.

Oh heck yes! The calipers really are big. How long will it be before your wheels arrive?

They said 4-6 months. I’m hoping for 4 months. I get my new NSX wheels next week. They said 4-6 months and it ended up being 4 months so hopefully I’ll get lucky again.

You can just use non-OEM brake fluid, man. No sense in waiting until they have it back in stock to install those bad boys.
Congrats, I have used my buddy Brian's TLX aspec pretty extensively and although overall I still feel like most new cars lack a
certain characteristic I crave...I can't lie, it's a great car and drives quite well. Especially for daily duties when you already have a
more race oriented car.

I was beginning to lose hope because so many months started to go by then I randomly get a email from the dealership saying it came in. Your pics kept popping up when I would look up the swap so I didn’t want to give up cause it looks so good on the car. I’m currently at an exhaust shop getting a type s exhaust put on so I can’t wait to post those pics. I hate the hdmi port tips on the a spec.

I picked up the type s exhaust and got rid of those hdmi looking tips. I have a loud NSX as my weekend car so I wanted to keep my daily TLX quiet, so I decided to keep my a spec piping since it has resonators but the type s doesn't. I kept only the mufflers.

Ya down the road you might need to upgrade the rotor as well. There’s issue where rotor will warp as the car is a tad heavy when you brake. They had issue on the MDX as well for the base and Type S. I know there’s issue on base TLX but haven’t heard news on the Type S. I did a GiroDisc 2 piece rotor on my. But you can try Paragon brake as I had them do a lot for the base and Type S 2 piece rotor as well.

I decided to look into k&n air filters for the hell of it and I was surprised at how many people swore by them because ive never looked into them. after looking at reviews of them on YouTube I decided to go buy one. it made a big difference in responsiveness. it pulls a lot harder with the accerlation, im shocked at how restrictive the stock filter is. its a simple mod I definitely recommend.

one of the few performance mods I plan to do. I got a ktuner module with a phearable stage 3 tune. it adds 54whp and 98tq. it'll put me at 300whp. I highly recommend this mod if you'd like more power for a relatively low price for the power you're getting.
