Normally ppl say how they missed their maxima, i dont miss mines, still have it but moved on to this thingy here and im loving it... as most knows ive been around forever with ups and mostly downs with my maximas (5)

anyways, got a new car... this time its not a maxima lol







Working on limited pics cause im running on fumes (no sleep) and its raining

 

Nice TL, looks good.

How is it compared to the maxima?

 

 

ITS A HONDA......

 

Not bad...it's no Maxima but not too shabby lol

 

there are small things i like in the maxima more, but i LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE by far this car more than any maxima ive owned or driven in.... the small stuff i dislike with the car is the fact that the hand brake is over by the passenger side... clutch engagement is rediculously high, but other than that n maybe some other really small stupid things, its by far a better built car, way more smooth, luxurious, and i absolutely love the shifter n those 4 piston brembos...

its funny how ppl keep saying its a honda like its a secret lol.. if so acura didnt hide it well lol... its the same as when people buy infiniti's... its a nissan... the speed is still better with a 5.5 (but that was not a factor in decision)...

 

i know lol.. lil bit better than the maxima....

 

I just noticed that. WTF on the passenger side, I wonder what they were thinking.

 

traitor....

 

No space on the driver side that wouldve been comfortable

 

Lol i know lol... Deep down ive always been though lol... I still have my AE..... For now lol

 

Its a nice ride, I really like how they look! they ****ed up on the new gen imo. I would have a tough decision between that and a 5.5,... it's more luxurious but it's only cause its an Acura.

 

yup, i found an auto 09 TL for a lil more but ill never own that car, that **** is fugly to me... i absolutely hate the rear of that car...and the big **** plate grill... looks tacky IMO... this is the only gen acura i like... the feel of the car is sooo much better than my 5.5 though... but the TQ of the 5.5 is def a seller... noticeably different, but the luxury and reliability factor was the biggest sell for me...

 

that is only because you got the manual and not the automatic. If it was auto, that statement would not be true (if it was 04-06 tl).

 

yea i know that about the autos... if only nissan wouldve came out n said it about their autos too lol... ive been through 10 auto nissan transmissions... 11 total lol

 

nice color, gl with it

 

thanks, it will be a slow progress, now im just looking to update the nav and paint the brembo calipers

 

TL's are nice, but I'll always be in a nissan product. lol I also got rid of the maxima a while ago now have my G looking like this

 

Car looks like a buncha bumboclot to me

It's even the color of a bumboclot mon

Soooo when we goin to the track?

 

post lol... oh... n no track lol, we can go to a show after winter lol

 

looks good mang.. long as ur happy then all is good...

 

Good car.

I wanted to buy a Acura TL Type S but too expensive

 

It looks lowered in the last picture

 

I agree - slammed

 

Yup.. on coils.. in winter mode now... @george i said the same for the type S, but . Few tweeks n u can get the base running with a type S...

 

So you beat my 15 sec Maxima then follow me by getting a crappy Honda?


Looking good.

 

I personally love the look of this gen TL.

Looks great slammed too

 

Wait..... U got a honda?

I saw a 4th gen (newer body) for a few more dollars n while it was the better deal i couldnt get with the fugliness lol

 

No, you just can't drive. I couldn't even give away a Maxima 4AT when I worked in parts.

As for any v6 Honda transmission tho..... Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddd I wouldn't trust any of em until 08/09 years. I saw multiple request every day for a V6 honda tranny (Ody/Accord/CL/TL/Etc)

Type-S's are mostly hype, buy a Regular one add a-spec kit, and a J-pipe, boom type-s.


You on acurazine yet? I forget I joined there before the .org cause I was soooooo sold on getting a CL until those videos of Maximas walking CL's/TL's started appearing. I bet you were in em too

 

Im not the only person who went through trans... See thats the thing nissan folks will forever live in denial about those autos... Msg 1sexyleo whos auto ran the 13.6 to see how many trans she went through.. 7 if i remember correct lol... So yea sure, the two autos with some of the faster na times to date is the two sorriest driver?... Oh o.k... U got it buddy lol... Personally i dont care if this care gets "walked" by any maxima cause chances are i wasnt running nor do i care... To me its still a better built car n if i couldve done it again id choose this over a maxima any second of the minute

 

I been on acurazine since maybe 06-07 back when they banned street racing here so most dc orgers just went there to proceed lol.... Ill be the 1st person to say my 6mt 5.5 is faster but i still actually dont even know how much hp the base acura has lol.. (true story)

 

A really slow one, but I love it.

Love it!

 

I see everyone cracking on you. Man some things never change. Anyway, nice ride always liked those TLs. Talking about trans. I know I was on my 2nd when I sold it, car only had 32,000 miles on it. But sorta new the trans wouldnt hold the power, oh well. Good luck with the purchase.

 

Man I need to change my sig.

 

awww, i like your old whip man. whatcha driving these days lenny??

 

These days, well went out and bought a Cadi. cts-v. And of course did alot of work to it, 656 whp and 641 torque. Thats about 780 hp at the crank. About two months ago went down to Cecil County Dragstrip and went 10.8 at 131 mph, and get this, that was on street tires. I believe it would go very low 10s or high 9s on slicks. It is a blast to drive.

I hated to part with the maxima but it was getting old and not alot of fun, front wheel drive and all.

 

Man, I love this gen TL. I really want to replace my wife's SE-R spec-v with one of these.

S

 

you was down in MD and aint even said a whats up lol.... Just listening to the power that caddy makes is trembling ... I believe its waay too much fun lol

 

Car is super smooth, i love it... Wished i wouldve switched a few trans ago
