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.

I pulled a front and side mount from storage, but after inspection the side mount looks recently replaced.

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!

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.

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).

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

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.

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

The cam seal on the front head has a slight leak. Though the Comptech S/C mid-mount will fix that.

Here is the culprit of the leaking. The rear main seal is leaking badly. These pictures don’t show just how much. The white spots in the pictures are reflective glares of oil. When I do the Ukrainian brother clutch swap I’ll spend some time cleaning the entire clutch case area.

@Truongthe mentioned in the ad when selling this car that it was in a rear end collision. It is biased on the right side. It was enough to widen the rear door gap on the left door.

There is a dent that is evident indication structural damage. This right rear quarter panel must be put on a frame rack and pulled back out.
