Hello from Florida

Looking to move into a TL this year. I've owned numerous Acura Legends (currently I have 3 G2's) and am now looking to move up a couple of years to a 3 G TL.

I've been reading all of the post I can to see the advantages/pitfalls of the various years of TL's. Looking forward to joining the owners groups soon!

Thanks. No, the 105k service needs to be done. Are there quality TB/WP kits out there available or best to go with OEM parts? If OEM, is there a
parts supplier preferred by forum members?

There are several kits that include Gates and Aisin that members on here have had success with, on my mom's odyssey we went with the Gates kit. Rock Auto and amazon both sell the kits but I do not have part numbers. While you're at it Id change the spark plugs too

OK, thanks. I'll do some research/price comparisons.

Thanks. Had to go to Atlanta to get it, but it was worth it.

Congrats on the beautiful car! I saw that one listed on Autotrader for a while and I was wondering if someone had purchased it when it disappeard from the website. Fantastic color choice! The MRP and WDP are personally my favorite colors in the TL-S. Did it have an Ebony interior in it? I can't recall.

Enjoy the 6MT and welcome to the forum
​Nevertheless, enjoy the ride!

What is WDP? The one I bought has the black/grey interior. I'm not too hot on the ones with the tan seats.
Thanks for the welcome.....
