R.I.P my TL... hello new Accord
Unfortunately My beloved tl has come to an end (totaled). Although her heart still beats on (motor) in my new love 99 honda accord ex.
And some photos of my new whip
And a pic of when it was stock a couple months ago

Your TL looked good. Makes my think about painting my rims back to silver.

That sucks, but I love this gen Accord coupe! Rear reminds me of the NSX. Keep up updated, love the swap also, you do it yourself?

Acutally as far as performance, it's acutally an upgrade!
Less weight will improve all around balance/handling, and hauling less weight makes it faster!! It actually is SIGNIFICANTLY less weight!
Although you do lose a lot of the plush features characteristic of Acura. Heated mirrors, nav?, steering wheel controls, auto dim rear mirror, etc little things like that.
Pleeeeeeeeease tell me you have some driving vids of this car? I HAVE to see it in action! That thing is SICK!!! I'll bet that's the fastest configuration of the J32 in a Honda "Accord" platform - (I Mean not the civic). Seriously!

that accord was my first car, V6 2000, but all stock, then i upgraded to 2001 CL-S, both were Auto, but if i had a TL and downgrade to accord I rather not. just my point of views. but since this is 5 speeds might be a lot more fun than TL?

Ok, I understand where you're coming from now.
However, that accord was not your first car lol, you had a stock, automatic, J30 accord. OP Has a performance suspension/wheels, 6 speed, J32 accord.
He basically took all that is good (performance-wise) out of a CL-S 6 speed: J32 with 260 hp, 6 speed with limited slip diff, and combined it with all that is good from Honda chassis lineup - the CG: right around 3000lb weight.
So although a stock TL compared to a stock Accord may seem like a down-grade, in this instance it is actually an upgrade!
It is actually a 6 speed manual from a TL with less weight. Ok in terms of hp to weight ratio having the J32 in the accord would be the equivalent of you having ~ 295 hp in a 200x CL type S. Understand?

Pro
the wheels look great on it
i really like those model accords. i had a 98 4 door with an h22 in it but hydrolocked the motor after installing CAI
for the size of the car is remarkably light.

Sick swap! Always loved the 6G Coupes!
And damn, you REALLY left the Z lol. Can't wait to see what happens when you take a lighter car with the same internals to the track!
