My kingdom for some cams

I wonder if there are any wrecked TypeSs in your area that had the engine damaged. You may be able to get the to give 'em to you.

I tried looking around, but no luck yet. If anyone gets them, I just need to borrow them to get spec'd.

PLEASE someone help me!

Different heads. Can't bolt Headers to the '04 motor. Has the same design as the '03 Honda with the integrated exhaust manifold to the head. Good motor if you don't plan on any Mods.

The only thing I'd want from that is the electronic throttle actuator!

Wow, well that did not take too long. The killer part is that it's probably not totalled yet because ins co will value it at full price and repairs look to be at about 15k. What a f ing pain.

That looks like major damage!!! 35-45mph Collision? I think the new design was more for looks then for "repairablity".

Damn I have a hard time telling the difference between the TSX and the new TL.

You can get Brembos with an automatic. The salesman said they are calling it the A-spec or spec-A option. The stock rotors are bigger than before. I think Acura did listen and respond to most of the bitching on this forum. :P

The torque is actually down a bit but the torque curve is flatter and 212 ft/lbs come on much earlier than the type-S. The salesman showed me the factory dyno results.

The TL drives just awesome. The drive by wire system feels great. The car also seems quieter inside. It even takes curves better.

My worst nightmare: driving off the lot with a brand new car and getting creamed before the end of the day.
