First, welcome! Can't wait to see your TL; hopefully you'll be able to come to our meets this Spring/Summer.

You can always check the Acurazine Black Market for people selling their stuff. Or you could check out Marcus at his site www.heeltoeauto.com. He's a vendor on Acurazine and has some pretty good prices on new lowering springs!

I hope to be able to make the MNHonda event, but I won't be able to make the b4b for sure because I have a bachelors party that day/night.

Sounds like the MNHonda meet will be at Carver lake in Woodbury. They'll be more info as we get closer. Sometimes we'll even meet up somewhere and then all roll in together.

The mnhonda meet starts at noon until whenever. They usually last most of the afternoon but I'd get there early to get a parking spot.

Alright. I'll have to see what time the Duluth crew is driving down. Hopefully it's early enough for me to ride with them then detour to our meet up and ride in with you guys.

You still have to fulfill the post requirement for selling things in the BM. Unfortunately posts do not count in the regional sections. I think the post requirement is 15 or so

anyone here is running spacers with coilovers? My car is lowered on Tein Basic and I just purchased a pair of 20mm for the rear to test fit if it would rub, then decide whether to go for 15mm F or 25 mm R.

Hopefully, i will get my spacers installed before B4B and MNHonda meet.

Have have 20 front 25 rear, but with stock base suspension. I bought my wheels and spacers from gregerst last month. He was running this set up being lowered. I'd imagine you would have to atleast roll your rear fenders.

I don't think my headlights will be finished by B4B unfortunately. I have finals coming up and it hasn't been nice out at all. Hopefully get some time to work on them this weekend along with clay bar and wax the ride.

Cracked Nav screen

Hi Guys/Girls,

I recently purchased a replacement TL-S nav screen off ebay to replace my cracked nav screen. I thought I could find a video on youtube that would remotely address the installation/removal of the nav screen unit, but I was wrong. I've also searched on the interwebs for similar info but I'm not able to really find anything related to an 07 nav screen removal. Aside from purchasing something like a Chilton's manual can anyone point me in the right direction for reference material on removal/installation of the nav screen for an 07 TL?

I did some researches, many say 20 rear should be cleared without rolling the fender. Worst case, I will have to raise the car ups bit. Lol

You guessed it, it is finally time to get White Heat back on the roads again! I can't wait to once again meet up and cruise with my fam!

During White Heat's looong hibernation, I have been working on BIG RED. There is still a lot to be done, but here's a progress update on her. To refresh your memory, this is how she started:


And this is how she looks today:


Here is BIG RED postin' up next to Little Red, AKA my parent's stock KJ (total height difference: 7" front & 6" rear, front bumper clearance difference: 24.5"):


Got nitrous?


If you're interested, I have more photos on my FB. Feel free to add me: https://www.facebook.com/carmodifier

If you all are planning to "roll in" as a group you may want to think about having a place to park when you get there.

You can try this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/how-remove-carpet-interior-877907/
but I know I saw in the 3G TL section of this site a thread that showed step by step how to remove the console search and you might find it.

I will like to say welcome to our thread. We hope that we keep getting more new Acura freaks like us. I attend the RK meet every Monday at six until dusk. There are some of us that attend this too. Jake and I spoke this weekend and Jake mention he would be willing to host a meet at his place. We can all do the usual bring stuff to Grill sodas chips etc. we just have to set a date. Jake, Travis, and myself are signed up for the national meet in KC. Maybe you should sign up and come with us I will be a lot of fun. We also attend the Honda meets. Hope to meet you and cycle out your ride.

Just an FYI, guys... I'm going to have a lot of performance parts for sale soon here. Twin-disc clutch, turbo kit, MS3 ECU, water/meth kit, complete fuel return setup, progress RSB, P&P'd heads, stroker crank & rods... too many to list all of them. If anyone is in need of something, just let me know.

There'll be a BM thread on it eventually (when I have time). Just wanted to give local guys a shot first.

Replaced Nav Screen

Hi everyone,

I had my replacement nav screen installed and it looks great. However, there's one problem... the touch screen isn't working. I think there's a screen overlay missing or something. There's a larger space between the screen and plastic bezel on the replacement unit, versus my unit. Plus when I touch the screen on the replacement unit, it looks like when you touch a LCD screen. Is anyone aware of an overlay or cover on the nav screen unit? I contacted the seller and I'm waiting to hear back, but in case they claim ignorance I'd like to have a backup plan.
