so im new here, currently have a 2008 honda civic mugen si

looking to trade that for a tl type s, the seats in the civic are killing my back injury.

signed on to see if there are any common problems with the TL s

here are pics of my current ride

bought brand new, and currently on my journey to goin back to stock

 

Welcome! nice car man

 

nice car, sucks you have to part because of injury, but the TL-S is overall nicer IMHO. Anyways, stupid question but why do people tape off the car? Like I'll see it on doors and stuff randomly. lol

 

Agree.. nice car

Whats with the tape? lol

 

road trip, acts like the leather bras, without the paint fade and damage caused by the bras, and yes, im beating myself up over letting her go, only 400 of 1000, left intact from my research i love her so much

 

People tape up the car for a long road trip or to keep the nose clean.

prolly goin to stay away from broward county, or miami area, but i am friends with alot of the civic guys in that area

 

the way that your car is taped up lets me know that you are anal (or excessive compulsive) A terrible compliment, but I do mean it in a complimentary way. Like everyone else said, you Civic is very nice! Sorry that you have to get rid of it. I think you'll enjoy the TL-S. It is a solid car. I don't know of any real issue that it has. You may want to go over to the TL section to see what the owners are saying.

 

im not "anal" or ocd, except at work, i just thought it would look cool and it did, and im sad to see her go though, but i will own another rare mugen some time in the future

 

you have a really nice honda here

 

Love the Mugen Si's! I really wanted one, but couldn't quite afford it at the time, so I settled for an Si. If I was more into the car, I'd def. consider a deal with you for the Mugen w/ my current TL.

 

If it is excessive lumbar in the Civic seats that's bugging you, make sure the TL seats don't have the same effect. Lots of Honda products have excessive lumbar, something that kills a back-injury guy like me.

 

the tl-s should have comfy seats

 

Import a Honda Civic Type R :P

 

Welcome to the forum!!

BTW, nice Mugen Civic. Very clean

 

well im mainly looking for a 3g tl type s, and a local dealer let me take one for a couple days, and within the first five minutes on being back in the mugen, my back was kicking like a pissed off bull, i really hate to see her go, but has to be done, and rick, would like to discuss ur post, use usmarinesfreak@aol.com to email me to talk

 

As much as I would love to, I'm really not in a position right now to actually go through with a deal.

As said, I have a Si right now, but my TL is my main car. If I was more into really playing with the Si, I'd consider bumping up to the Mugen, but as that sadly isn't the case, I can't really see the car holding my interest much more besides the novelty of owning the car itself. It would also force me to cancel my deal on the Si (having it & the Mugen would be...weird?) and that's not a possible option yet.

I wish you luck in finding the right TL-S.

 

i understand, fully, should sell the si and get the mugen, haha, and still looking for a tl, might pick up a civic hatch for a daily driver for a bit
