Obvious advice, but take your time. It took me 5-6 months to find my used 3G TL back in 2007. Widen your search area if your picky. I transfered my 3G from a Plano Carmax, just to look at it. It didn't have any signs of hard body damage (OEM front/rear bumpers, OEM paint throughout, etc.) and had the exact int/ext color combo, Navi, 6MT, low miles I was looking for.

I dont think they make performance radiators for our car.

and i told you about the heat problems associated with the s/c
it goes up 3/4 quarter of the way after a few days of getting on it freeway run.
I noticed a small leak around the plastic part of the radiator. It could be too much pressure? I'll try the performance radiator cap. But I'm also replacing the radiator cuz it's under warranty.

I don't think you can put an intercooler on this s/c. but I can go meth kit, add misimoto thermostat to cool the engine at 160 instead of 180F. I'm still looking for an ecu that is like jnr but not $1500+. aem and emanage are no good.

I would offer him 5k and build a turbo setup. These cars can run up to 400k miles easily. Just need minor maintenance.

I'm trying to get a deal on a Rdx.

I TOLD YOU SO.

it also sucks that you didnt gain that much with the S/C...



you can fit an intercooler on the S/C, but it will have to be custom.
the J&R ECU is based off the the MegaSquirt 3.
you can buy the megasquirt3 mainboard for CHEAP, like 300 dollars cheap.
the reason why J&R inflated the price is because, he took the time to figure out how to incorporate it with the TL's ECU.

I have purchased the J&R ECU, but i havent received yet.

Random question!
Would it be a blown fuse if the power locks work with the remote but don't with the buttons inside the vehicle? I doubt that it's the actual switch unit itself because both driver and passenger stopped working at the same time.
