3g tl-s

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forums but owned several Hondas before this. I just recently picked up a 2008 Acura TL Type-S in WDP with a 6MT. It is currently stock and has 63K miles on it and definitely took alot of work to find. I've been reading the forums and hopefully will be able to contribute some to it.

If you can't find a thread on this topic, after a search, if you still don't see anything, post a new thread under 3gen forum... Best wishes!!!

Thanks. Definitely hard to find in low mileage. I had to go out of state for it and it took almost a year for it to come up. I found a 44k and 35k mileage one prior to this but it didn't work out for me. I'll post more pictures as I mod it. Currently have an A-spec kit waiting to be installed.

Finally got my A-spec kit on! Also painted the emblems and wrapped the chrome trim on the rear and front black.

Did you check the gap of the spark plugs? I've noticed that sometimes even when buying pre-gapped spark plugs, some don't have the correct gap due to dropping, handling, etc...
