I did my best to clean up all the oil and gunk, hopefully it won’t smell like burnt oil any longer.

Y’all remember the PnP’d Comptech S/C I had on the 2008 Base Auto? It made 331whp. This same one should make about 360whp on the new TL Sport as it’s a 6 speed. I am going to also reengineer the AEM meth/water system to make the charge much more consistently and cooler by tapping the underbelly of the supercharger and placing the MAP sensor and meth jet there to have more than two feet of distance for the meth to mix with the charge are and have a greater cooling effect.

So much oil it’s dripping off parts half way down the car. The driveway has oil drips the size of the whole car.

I am installing my 165k miles 08 Base coils. They are still in good shape. This is the lowest powered TL so it gets the softest coils that Acura made for the 3G(07-08 Base).

Looks like someone forgot to remove the caliper holding bunjee cord. These Kong Orange shocks are sold as “budget friendly - Street oriented”. They hurt my back driving on them across the country. They bounce around wildly on corners which felt dangerous, but the straw was the front passenger shock is already blown and creaking. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy these.

The overall condition of the car is great. No dash crack, ripped seats, Rust, smells(besides the MTF flowing out of the car). The engine bay seems great from up top!

Taking time this weekend to dig into my new Acura TL 2005 6MT Sport to clean the weapon R intake filter. I planned to replace it with the K&N filter, but the price of the Weapon R is $265 on Endless RPM. So it stays.

Making access to the 6MT transmission to push it out of the way to put in the clutch. This J35 has piston oil sprayers! Only on the J35A8!

Ilya came over from Seattle to have a SPEC stage 3+ clutch and lightweight flywheel installed(Gerzand recommended). We are utilizing the Ukrainian brother technique, since we are both Ukrainian brothers, it should work. Also going in is a new rear main seal. Thot it was a good time to practice on Ilyas car before I do the same to the TL Sport I just purchased from Truongthe. It’s a very nice weekend!
