Got a deal and bought a 08 nbp with 102k mileage and i must say... I loved it! It's my first car and i hope it will last me thru college and beyond. I will put some pictures once i figure it out how to upload them.

Will work on minor mods in couple of months(spring).

Hashtag stoke!

Nice welcome to Azine and congrats on the buy. Make sure to look on the garage as there is a lot of info on everything that Aziners have done to their TL's.

Congrats! Welcome to AZ! To upload your pics, upload them to a hosting site such as Photobucket, etc. and then cut/paste the link in your post.

haha thats what i was thinking too. IMO though, car itself is more important than parts for now. Therefore, i gotta pay it off early bit by bit, but at the same time do minor mods on it.

Congrats on the new ride.

Don't forget to do the 105k Timing Belt Service if it has not been done so already.

It has been done and the water pump as well. Few seals and new motor mount. I just don't know when it was done. I hope the 105k service isn't expensive

Again...the 105K service is essentially the timing belt and water pump. That is by far the bulk of the expense.

^this. The bulk of the 105k Major service is the water pump, timing belt, and tensioner is what you should have been done.

Water pump, timing belt, Type 2 Honda coolant, hope the hydraulic timing belt tensioner was done. And any other pulley's related to timing belt or accessory belt.

I would find out if valve adjustment has been done (only if they are noisy I would get it done).

i actually asked for a service/repair paper copy. i hope this help. Let me know what else has to be done.
So far, i don't hear any noise or maybe I'm just not aware of it.
