Whats up guys?

Thought i might as well formally introduce myself. I Traded in my 2008 Mazdaspeed 3 which i will very much miss! Was a badass fast car. But i wanted to get into something alittle more grown up YET sporty still.

Have been looking around for 07-08 TL-S's for a month and have been from acura of fife all the way to acura of bellevue, (autotrader,craigslist..etc) Had my heart set on a nighthawk black pearl at acura of seattle that had 28k miles for $29k BUT it was automatic. Finally found a carbon bronze at acura of bellevue and fell in love with it. has 18k miles 6 speed and picked it up for 30k

I came from a very active mazda forum to here and hopefully can pick things up

I will most likely start getting the mod bug here soon. Would love to have a local meet and check out everyones rides!

Welcome, Portland here.

 

Thanks man

 

very nice car. havent got to drive the 6spd 3rd gen yet. how do you like it? one thing about the northwest forum is that its not very active till summer or spring time. then we'll be havin you put some miles on the car haha.

 

Its Great i love it. Its deffinatly nowhere near the powe range of my mazdaspeed 3. But i like the fact of how Grown up it feels yet sporty
Wanting to buy a aem cai but KINDA worried about the amount of rain we get here. of corse coilovers,tint, and exhaust work will be in the plans also

 

meh i dont worry about hydrolock ever unless there are big puddles. I dont drive hard anymore so i tend to think that I dont have to worry about hydrolock haha. you gonna do most of it yourself?

 

Welcome. Congrats!

 

Seriously since when?

 

Welcome. Look forward to meeting you at some of the meets.

 

haha ever since my tread got to 0/32s haha. i still need an alignment bad. but then again its not as bad as erics haha. his alignment is way off and even worse, when I went to uninstall his coilovers his front tires was down to the wire. pretty bad haha. I havent gone over 3k rpms since the last meet

 

welcome bro

 

Looking forward to meetin gyou all also. Have been going back and forth last few days if i want to keep it or sell it and just save up for a GT500. i know these Tl 's can be super boss with suspension and lip kit. and probably last alot longer.

 

Welcome and nice find.

 

i would love to see how my s stacks up against yours. closest ive seen was drew with the auto type s. but we never ran yet. closest ive run was the non type s 6 speed tl.
