He'll want to do the water pump too. I'm going to guess $700-900.

I used my canon on that, that is a descent as it will get. I chose to invest my money in an exhaust next, no money for a camera. You can buy me one

I think that's the same one I purchased but it doesn't fit on my B7 because the license plate screws that came with my car aren't long enough to fit with the caps that came with the new frame. Been wanting to order longer license plate screws but the shipping cost on them is more than the cost of the item.

The license plate screws are metric and can be found at Lowes, two screws for less then a dollar. They are a bit short, but I was able to make mine work, I bought two exta screws so I could use all four cap covers.

Thank you!

Used the Harry's LapTimer Pro app from the iPhone, downloaded the data, then overlaid onto the video using RaceRender. I used a Drift Innovation camera.

Welcome. I think 90% of Car Talk regulars don't own Acura anymore.

True, I drove Acura's for over 11 years, then they did what they did and I moved on, ending up in my little Audi.

When I bought my 3G TL brand new back in 2004, Acura was on a roll. And it reached the BEAK era, that's when I sold my car.

That's why I had to move on. I know there are a lot of people who like the new look, who enjoy the style and that is ok. I don't want to bash them, I just had to go into a different direction. I was hoping to come back in a few years, we will see how my Audi experiment goes. Right now I am absolutely loving it, oh the power!

Btw. all mods on my car must be put on hold. Found out tonight I will be moving in the next few months, so all cash flow will be going towards a new home. Guess I shouldn't complain, there are worse things that could happen.

You'll be fine with stock. I didn't think I would be in stock form for long. But it's been over 2 years, and my car is still stock (except for tires and brake pads).

No you are right, I will be fine. I had just made an offer on some Audi Titanium rims, but that will have to wait until we move. Also I was sooooo looking forward to ordering my exhaust, but I will live.
