Well here's something for you guy's to check over the winter time...
This would be an Tl 07 base model, with only 80K miles on it and now in need of major engine repair. It had the loose spark plug that i have mention before. This guy choose to ignore the check engine light until the spark plug had backed out of the head enough to burn the coil and then melt all the threads right out of the head. Once the threads where gone the plug had extra space to slam back and forth till it broke in half, dropping pieces of the plug into the cylinder as well. So take some time now and make sure your plugs are all tight ( especially number 5 cylinder)

Hey guys! 
I thought I'd stop by and say hi since it's been awhile. Hope everyone is doing good!
Tonight, I was cruisin' in BIG RED to the Woodbury LifeTime Fitness and spotted a stanced NBP Acura RL on Radio Dr. Does this whip belong to someone on here?

Hey Jorge I finally got my Austin F1 tickets and parking passes in the mail yesterday and I double checked my hotel reservation which was still in the their system. So I am all set for the race I am still debating driving the M5 or renting a car I weighed the price and both come out almost equal so it will probably come down to the weather. Clear and sunny I'll take my car any chance of severe weather between here and there I'll rent one.
I'm not sure Josh still lurks on this board but if you still talk to him let him know he is more than welcome to carpool with me to the race. Plus maybe he could show me the sights in Austin.

Hey guys did you miss me??? I may be returning to the acura family sometime soon. Theres an electrical issue with the ss and the dealer hasnt a clue whats wrong with it. So i have to wait for general motors to inspect the situation. They dont want me to sell it and lose a customer. But its gonna happen inevitable. I was looking at a 2010 tsx, but have my heart set on a kbp tl-s. If any one sees one for sale somewhat close by let me know. Thanks guys

These are Morimoto Mini H1's. I've tapped into the oem ballasts with the aftermarket wire harness and connecte the high beam solenoid into the oem high beams. So dry thing works together.

What's the setup that you went with for these? And are the running lights functional or still just a running light?

I'm looking to customize differently then I have now and to use different projectors for the quads. Right now I have authentic ZKW clear lenses installed, 07 bowls with 04 step shields, morimoto mini H1's installed in the DRL bezel and custom clear diffusers. The quads don't line up quite well with the TL projectors and they do condense a little bit every now and then nothing a little more butyl couldn't fix.

Well, JnC pm'ed me. He has an extra set of Project/DRL bezels laying around he would give me. I also bought an almost new headlight off ebay for $125! figured that was a huge steal. If someone did want my headlights I still wouldn't mind trading + cash for mine. That's something we'd have to talk about.
I'll be down in the area on the 7th for the T-wolves game, and on the 10th to get my 105K service done.

I guess i do not understand.

Basically I'm just looking to start over with the lights. I wanted to color match them with different projectors. I also didn't like the way he retrofitted the mini h1's. it may not bother some people, but I can't stand them lol. I'm very picky when it comes to my lighting.

Pineapple of DOOM!!!!
So, I think joe is ignoring me.... I'll try this.... I got a check engine light this afternoon. I took it to autozone to read the code and it says that there is a vaccum leak, or the gas cap is loose. I checked the gas cap and I still have the check engine light.... Anybody got any other ideas?
