Ill keep an eye out for any DFW meets or peeps. I could always use help with my up coming mods. I am a mechanic and have done plenty of custom work. Might need a little help.every now and again in the ACURA world!

Hey guys, long time member, new to DFW. I'm coming up on my 90K mile mart which means I gotta do the timing belt and water pump.

Any trusted dealers, "Honda/Acura mechanics" in the area? I have an '07 TL Type-S. Anything else I should have changed other than TB and WP?

I'm in the Mid-Cities area.

I don't know how to adjust valves, or the timing. That kinda scares me. Nothing has been easy on this car with the exception of changing the starter. That was one of the easiest jobs I've ever done. Prob will let a pro tackle the timing belt service.

Welcome MBP_BALLER. I'm in Carrollton as well. You may see me rolling around the neighborhood. I have a 04 WDP 6spd with Aspec kit and wheels. I also have the quad tips. Prob see you around. Do you have a Type S bumper or Aspec?
