update on the TL. Rebuilding the original motor. Maybe P&P, cams, s/c, 3.7 mani.
(and put it in a CRX?)

2nd low mileage motor might see a turbo? Was thinking of rear mount twin-charge, but no tuner wants to mess with it.

I've been wanting to attend a car meat to let some of the local guys try out the sauce and check up on their TL progress build, but any free time I have goes to the family. If any of the active members ever in the i-45N and airline area, feel free to stop by the CVT shop and pick up some reserved for acurziners. pics below

I'm pretty sure those are the original mounts. It's not like he's burning through them every year.

So it's been forever since I've posted anything in the Texas since I've moved. Hope everyone is doing well. Last time I saw everyone was the BBQ meet way back. I still have my G35 that is now slowly going back to stock and for sale. And I have moved onto something a little better. Well, here's an updated pic. I'll let u guys know the next time I'm back in town visiting relatives. Maybe we can get together

Hey guys I have been MIA for a loooong time and have gone through a lot of phases where I was going to sell the TL but have decided to keep her and start modding again! I have been lurking around and reading a bunch of posts and just installed the xlrd quads and type s lip to try to make the car fun to drive again. Anyway, just wanted to say whats up and hopefully I can make it to a meet sometime soon! Justn I saw you had a couple of mechanical problems, hope you got it sorted out.

Checking into this Houston thread. Started off on this site with an Acura CL Type S 6 speed. I've had a few different cars after that. I currently drive a 2010 BMW 550 M-Sport.

I should be going to C&C tomorrow. Hope to see some of you around.

So, it's been awhile since I've been on here but I finally traded in my TL and bought a TL-S and seeing all these nice Houston Acura's is motivating me for some new projects. I know it's winter time but you will you be holding any car meets?

Question for all the Houston crew, I was going to put on an ASPEC kit this weekend and was wondering do I really have to put on my front license plate?

If you are asking if its required by law then yes. You are taking your chances by not having it and its up to you if the risk is worth the looks. Most cops won't ticket you for it but state troopers will. Its an easy reason for any cop to stop you and check everything out.

I have a Japanese plate on my front, I've done about 600 miles on it with no problems yet. But when I leave the area near where I live I usually switch back to the Texas plate. Why not just put the plate behind your front windshield?
