Hey guys! I end up venturing to this site enough now I figured I should make an account and maybe start posting lol. I have a 2005 Acura TL Nav with the 5spd Automatic Transmission that's bone stock with Continental Extreme Contact D/W/S 245/45/R17 Tires. Nothing really much to say other than when I bought this car a year ago it surprised me with how much power it has compared to my previous vehicles. Instantly fell in love with it.

If you've got questions feel free to ask me, and I'll be the first to admit I'm pretty new to the car scene but I've learned some from various youtubers and such (I know that could sound bad but be gentle? lol)

 

welcome!!! Acura TL, I CHOOSE YOU!
or was it the other way around!? did the car choose you?

and I learn stuff from youtube ALL the time!

 

Well if I'm to be 100% honest... I was looking at buying a 2010 Scion TC turbo'd from a car dealership.. Bank wouldn't finance me for it because it was just a bit too much and it was either the Acura TL or a Kia Sorento. XD

 

nice!

great thing you passed up the TC...non turbo cars that are turbo'd aftermarket will have problems!!

 

Welcome!
Post a picture...we like pictures.
Even if it's stock.

Do you have plans for the car, or will you be wise and save all your pennies and not spend on modding?

 

hi n00b1337

 

elite h4x0r!

 

Only if they're not properly taken care of!

I'll dig the ones up from my facebook page from when I first bought it. Its.. sustained some body damage since then due to an idiot driver trying to merge and not looking in their mirrors... >.>; And if I do anything to it, I'd most likely find me a wrecked Type-S off dashub and swap things over and go from there. That's of course thats if I don't get my hands on a new TL or Acura car... or if I some how end up with an Integra R lol.

 

Can't really tell from the pics that the headlights are a bit fogged up, but I have cleaned up the headlights since these pics (These are now about 1yr old)

 

Hai imj0257!

 

yikes!

have you built a non-turbo...turbo car ?
it takes tons of patience as reliability goes down!!!!!!!!!

 

Personally no, but I do have friends that have them and I realize that. But most likely anything I'd do now that would be turbo'd would be for track and not daily-ing (Unless it was a small turbo). Its not like I'm going to put a 80mm Garret Turbo on anything haha!

 

and probably not FWD either...
nice car, man...always loved anthracite.
