'03 TL Base

I previously owned a '99 Accord with 163k, so I'm not new to Honda by any means. This car was purchased with 114k with a brand new transmission. I've put just about 20k on it in the last 17 months, and I have enjoyed every mile in this car. In the future, I hope to exceed 200k.
Screen Name: athomas915
Area of country: Carbondale, IL
Brief description of TL (Color, TL-P or TL-S, current miles): Silver, base model TL, 135,000
Original transmission?: 2nd transmission. Current transmission installed at ~110k.
Purchased new or used? When?: August 2012. Purchases off of a neighbor briefly after the new transmission was installed.
Current Mods: Bose stereo gutted, replaced with Kenwood DDX419, 4x Kenwood 1694S, Kicker 300.2 (not bridged), Kicker S10L5. No external modifications, no internal modifications with the exception of the stereo.
Future Mods: Enkei GP5's, Either wrapped matte black or Aegean Blue Pearl paint, ~1-2" drop, spoiler, 35% window tint, halo's (preferably red, surrounding the brights), repaint calipers, install OEM mudflaps, possibly straight-pipe, and redo the gauges.

Brief description of TL (Color, TL-P or TL-S, current miles): 4D gray 3.2TL Type-S non-Navi, 140,000 miles
Original transmission?: YUP
Purchased new or used? When?: Used back in 2006..
Current Mods: Nothing YET
Future Mods: Not sure! At LEAST rotors!
Picture of TL: Will add soon

Well - I guess I am the new guy. I have had my Type-S since 2006 and love it. My wife has pretty much been driving it during the week and me on the weekends (I work in DC and the roads SUCK. She also drives less miles than I do). Well, my hooptie is dying so she wants a new car and Ill take the Acura.

Ive always loved the car and it has been dead on deopendable. I bought the car with about 40,000 miles on it and never replaced the trans. Ive kept up the maintenance on it and its been fine..But now I need to give it a little more love.. Couple things need to be looked at..

The drivers side headlight assembly has a lot of condensation on it. I keep on hearing that all the aftermarket headlight assemblies (actually the reflectors) are crap so I need to look around some more...

The transmission I believe is shifting too fast into overdrive. It starts to vibrate at low speeds. But if I kick it into D4, its fine..

I just noticed a leak in the driverside floorboard. Looks like the seal around teh window went bad...

Other than that..Its all good! Ive always been a performance type of person..Maybe thats why I got into motorcycles and started racing CCS..

Just picked up a 02 TL-s with nav. Has 240K. Silver. No pics worth posting. Have been going through it, fixing all the normal stuff you find wrong with these. Heated seats didn't work, rear view mirror was blown, has an ABS problem, found it to be a open pump. Found a replacement for $80. Replacing all the tires, timing belt, valve adjust, etc.

Really appreciate the resources here, the how-to's have been very helpful.

Have been really enjoying this car. It drives like a dream and is so comfortable. I think I'll be keeping it for quite some time.
