Need more pictures, Baller.

I still have mine! Haven't modded it in a year or two aside from replacing the alternator twice.

Think Duronn & I are still left. I still enjoy mine as a daily, so I don't have any intentions of selling anytime soon.

Recently passed 250k on my Accord, still runs great. Mostly do the DNE/DIE meets with my G35 but occasionally hit up the Sunday afternoon meet at 30 and Collins at the new restaurant area there. More of a mix, occasionally bring the Accord.

Mine is right on the cusp of 160,000 just now.

Anyone ever been to or can vouch for Autoscope in Dallas? I'm thinking of getting my scheduled service done there as it is about $200 cheaper than the dealership.

I know this is pretty dead because most people have moved on into different things, but I just got my TL last month and since doing so, I literally see them everywhere now. Saw 4 of them on my way to work Monday, all Gen 3's. I guess there's less enthusiasts owning them now and more just people with a reliable daily.

What kind of truck did you get? Bought an F150 earlier this year and loving it. Still have a couple Acuras though.

OK y'all, who's "they guy"? You know, that mechanic that eats, sleeps, and breathes Acura? I took my 2004 TL to my mechanic yesterday and asked him to check the valves, and he didn't think it could be done (of that it would be easier to replace the engine). This morning I looked it up in the shop manual and looks pretty straightforward... just not something I have time to do.

He's actually a good mechanic, and has fair prices, (I've had him work on my cars for a few years now) but I think he prefers to work on Fords over Acura.

So how 'bout it? Who's "the guy"?

If you're talking about valve adjustment that's pretty easy to do and makes a hell of a difference... there's a diy on here

Just shy of 270k and on my second trannie. Funny thing about that, it died as soon as I got lazy and stopped using sport mode. I don't use fully automatic at all on this current one.
