New TL; Car Enthusiast :)
Hello Acurazine!
I'm the proud owner of a 2012 Acura TL SH-AWD Tech with 44k miles. Loving it so far. I'm the second owner and have put in quite a lot of work trying to recoup what the previous owner neglected.
So far I've:
Buff/Wax (pretty sure it never was waxed after purchase)
Leather clean/conditioner/protectant
New Rim (one was bent)
New ian WRG3's for winter
Update all maintenance (fluids/differential/tranny flush/brake fluid; etc etc)
I'm also the proud owner of an 89 Toyota Supra Turbo which I used to drag race with, but now it's tuned as a drive daily for the summers. I also am blessed to have the last car my father restored; a vintage Porsche 911 that I bring to car shows and take evening cruises in when it's nice outside.
I spent a lot of time autocrossing and road racing with a rare 1994 Toyota MR2 TRD spec. Unfortunately, I sold the MR2 as I need to downsize my storage requirements.
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of information floating around on the web specific to this car, so I'm hoping to ask questions here and use the forum's resources.
--> My first challenge is a humming sound coming from what I think is the intake/airbox. I took the filter out and found some debris in there. I vacuumed out the intake tube and reassembled. I had a particular challenging experience trying to get the airbox screws to line up and sit flush. Could this be the cause of the humming sound?
Thanks everyone,
Jonathon

Some work I did on the exterior/Interior shots for the 911. When I bought it back from the person who purchased it from my dad (20 years ago), it sat in a barn for about 8 years and needed a lot of TLC.
