Yea the thought has constantly been on mine of getting something else and I was hoping modding it would help me in wanting to keep it. No real reason to sell it, but I want something newer and a little more plush! The seats in the TL kill my back to!

DrTom

wow really? I loved my TL seats... spend 10 min in the M3 and you'll be dying. What are you thinking about stepping into?

1islandparadise

Sometimes I have to turn the heated seats on because I find them to be that uncomfortable. I'm looking for an 07+ GS350.... I did go by Acura yesterday and checked out the '12 TL's. Very impressed with them but it still isn't as pleasing to the eyes as our 3G TL's....

DrTom

GS is pimpin for sure, although I really think I like the TL more. the new TL is "eh" on the outside but damn nice on the inside. Didn't you pick up an IS300 or something? Or was that your friend?

1islandparadise

Haha...yes I picked up a solar yellow IS300 a few weeks ago. It drives much nicer than my TL. Its quiet with no rattles. Granite its bone stock I'm still impressed for it being an 01.

That's a nice ride. I am starting to look for another ride as well. I am keeping the CL for a while. I think I want a RWD to build next. I would like a car that can be easily modded with some type of 4 or 6 cyl.... Any Ideas?

1islandparadise

Thanks man! I was looking at an integra before I got the IS. Hmm....I dont know if only having 2 seats is a deal killer but have you thought about the older MR2's or 300ZX's? I'm sure you can find some nicer ones for like $4K. Of course the colors below are optional

DrTom

MR2... droool. Something good to mod thats RWD... you could always do an E46 BMW, or anything with a 2JZ-GE motor in it works well (like the IS300). I used to have an 00 328Ci with a vortech blower on it, which was a ton of fun and they're super cheap these days.

mn2trance

My next car will definitely be rear wheel drive with a manual.

What about an S2000? They should be fairly cheap now.

1islandparadise

There was a guy in SC that was selling his built AP1 S2K for $5500 but needed an engine rebuild. S2K would definitely be slick............in yellow!

i am still looking for my s2k.

1islandparadise

I'll let you know if I see any clean ones near the SC border.....

mn2trance

What's up with you and yellow, Donnie? lol

1islandparadise

...what are you talking about?

Well I officially posted the TL for sale on Autotrader and Cars.com this evening. I'll be in Lawrenceville this weekend visiting some family and maybe stopping by "a dealership" to see what's out there....

DrTom

I'm tellin ya, step up to an M3. They make them in yellow

1islandparadise

Haha....I will check that out. Ive considered BMWs but the maintenance is what scares me. I know a few people that sold their Bimmers because of on going issues like dash LEDs burning out, power accs stop working, charging system problems, etc.

DrTom

yeah. I mean, lemme tell you it's expensive. I think on the M3 the biggest thing that surprises people if you have to use a specific oil, 6 quarts, and its like $12 a quart. However just drive one and you'll understand. There's something special about it. Besides, you're big money with the IS300 and TL. You can afford it

1islandparadise

$12 A QUART x 6 QUARTS = $100 million!!! (My math is a little weak.)



Dude now tell me that's isn't baller! I dont even think Dr. Evil could afford this!

DrTom

could only afford this if you work at WebMD

Leftyzrevenge

I want one BAD!!! Got my Ass spanked by one last week. I don't know what he had done to it, but damn it sounded good. It was from Tennessee.... I got a glimpse of the tag as it blew by. lol

there's a red AP1 up at Alan Cox for sale. $10,500 95k on the odo.

rossv1

Just saw an AM 04-06 TL at Lenox. Had black rims, wing spoiler, roof spoiler, tinted headlights and tail lights. Just wondering if they are in here.

KenRed

lefty: if u got beat by an s2k then there is something up with your car. i put abot a bus and a half on s's

DrTom

There is an M3 for sale on E46 fanatics thats a damn steal.

http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=840118

I'm just saying. If you're not sure about the BMW come and drive mine around for a bit, you'll totally understand.

1islandparadise

She does look clean! I just really want a 4 door car to replace the TL. I just got word this week my assignment to Columbus, ga has been deleted. I'll be leaving for el paso, tx this summer so I'll probably end up getting rid of the IS also.

mn2trance

Damn dude! WTH?! Sucks that you'll be in TX but why do you have to get rid of the IS? No need to get a truck while you're out there to fit in.

DrTom

wow that really sucks, I'm sorry to hear that

LoveMyTL-S

Did you look in our Black Market section? How about www.cars.com, www.acuratrader.com or www.craigslist.com?

1islandparadise

Harty....har....har! I have an old army buddy that's in Del Rio, TX and is a car salesman now. There is an 09 SH-AWD TL w/ 32K miles w/out Navi on some aftermarket 20's for $26.9K. He said its been at the dealership for over 2 months because cars "like these" dont sell. He said the same thing, "people buy trucks here." Haha....no truck for me though!

Yea man, I'm majorly BUMMED about it, but I guess I'm use to it now. Just got to make the best of it.

CJITTY

i am so glad i bought a rear wheel drive car...like night and day..sure my Lex Luthor doesn't handle like a car on lowered suspension, but damn that power can be felt pushing the car from the rear wheels. I am getting my 20x10 rear staggers tomorrow..hopefully..wheels are here just waiting on the 275/35 Continental DWS's...

Leftyzrevenge

It was FAR from stock.... It Revved like a chain saw. Had a sound that was KILLER. He beat me by about a car in what I would say was a 1/8th. I have played with another one since and walked off and left it.... I think I just found a highly modded one and got a little surprise. lol
Shit Happens....

mn2trance

It's still on for the 21st of May if someone wants to head it up. I will be unavailable that day due to 3 events going on.

1islandparadise

I was out that way this past weekend but I had my OEM TL-S wheels on. I did see a lowered WDP TL.

1islandparadise

If anyone is interested or knows someone looking for an IS300 I'm selling mine. Ty, before you say anything, yes I am looking for another TL....lol! I miss mine pretty damn bad.....
