I do, but what is actually wrong that could reject you?

Lol today. I Ended up not going so I could help a friend move and get my car inspected.

Hall Acura in va beach gave me a free state inspection, carwash and topped off all fluids when I went in there today. Service there is a complete 180 from what I experienced at Priority Acura a few months ago. I highly recommend Hall service and parts department.

I've been going to Hall on the blvd since I bought my car. I too have nothing but good things to say, except it took three trips for them to diagnose the rattle coming from the rear deck. Turned out to be the sound insulation "deteriorating" and they said it wasn't covered under warranty bc it is a "trim" item. (anyone else has this problem and know of a decent fix other than taking out the back seat and replacing with new dynamat?)
Oh, and I got hooked up with a free inspection, wash, etc and I didn't buy the car there... Nice.

hey guys ive checked in here before but its been a while since ive been on this thread.
Anyways, I am currently working on completing my 6spd swap on my 06 acura TL. anyone here with a 6 spd TL that can come over by the shop so we can take a look at where exactly the manual 6spd TL's clutch pedal mounts at?

this would be really helpful if someone can come by soon because were looking to complete this swap before the end of next week and all theres left to do is to install the clutch pedal and master cylinder onto the car. Oh and ECU wiring after it.

on the plus side, theres plenty of eye candy at the garage and if anyone wants work done to their car, its the best opportunity since we already have a nice garage setup over at Commerce way which is right on london bridge blvd.

heres the thread for the swap.

They only had those for the older models. KN_TL replied back to the thread with pics of his manual TL and it looks like I'm going to have to reroute the wiring harness running from the fuse relay box under the good to the fuse relay box thats under the driver side dash. I just wish someone local with a 6spd TL would be able to get in touch with me so we can get this car on the road

What sort of ride are you looking for? How low? And have you looked into the Neuspeed Supercup Kit (lifetime warranty)?
