I used to have a 1996 Acura TL awhile back and I have some aftermarket gauges for it that change colors with a dial. I didnt see a marketplace on this forum like there is on other forums, so is there some where I can post pictures of these gauges to see if anyone wants them?

im sure someone will want them, if you up pics in photobucket or some sort of photo hosting site then you post the IMG code.....

Mr_Outside

I have the pics ready to upload, I just want to make sure that this is the right place to post them.

The return of an OG...

Mr_Outside

Haha, thanks. I'm going to be poking around this community a little more now. I actually see my TL (which was my first car) rolling around town sometimes. I really miss it. I want to ask the kid driving it if he would sell it.

EDIT: I found the area for selling parts! Here is a link the the actual for sale thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...1#post14425901

I remembered you were the one that seafoam your car back then, haha. What made you get rid of it again?

Mr_Outside

My dad had a really sketchy mechanic change my timing belt in his driveway and after my engine was completely out of time. I had no idea so I drove it like that until the engine locked. The REAL mechanic said that the all the valve lifters were bent it and it would be around $1500 to fix. I ended up just using $1500 as a down payment on a new car. The dealership I bought the new car from took my TL for $500. Now I see some kid driving it around and it really makes me want it back. I can only imagine how many miles it has now.

Wow, that sucks! How do you know it's not just another look alike 1st gen?

Mr_Outside

I replaced the turn signals in the front with clear ones and there is a decal on the back windshield of a band I used to listen to. I cant believe no one took it off. I guess they like the band too. Ha

That's cool to still see it around like that! What are you driving now if you don't mind me asking...

Well nice seeing you around; and hopefully one day you'll be back in another 1st gen TL.

Mr_Outside

I really appreciate the warm welcome back. Nice talking to you. I'd love to be back in a 1st generation TL, maybe as a DD..

Good luck in finding a decent 1st Gen TL in good state...that will be hard...

Mr_Outside

Oh yeah I'm sure it'll be tough. Hopefully sometime in the near future I'll have enough money and time to fix one up if I buy one.
