Heza Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Hey all, the time has come where I found the car that I wanted to replace my GP with. So my GP will be going bye bye next week sometime. I just picked up a 2008 Alabaster Silver Metallic Acura TL Type-S 6MT with 28k on the clock. Can't really compare it to the GP because there's no comparison, but it's fun none-the-less. I'll be selling off the modifications and unused parts I never got to installing probably within the next month. Anyone have a crankshaft pulley for a '94-97 3.4 DOHC? Don't think I'll let the FFP underdrive pulley get away that easy! Ok, here are pics.... had to beat the snow storm! i always wanted a Getrag 284 GTP, but this will make up for it Edited February 21, 2011 by Heza Quote
Twenty Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 Awesome choice! Pictures please! Quote
WhatTheFehl Posted February 19, 2011 Report Posted February 19, 2011 I love Acura TLs. And WHOO! Glad you got one from before they started that ugly chrome buck-toothed look. And yes: Quote
Heza Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Posted February 19, 2011 I'll get pics up next week sometime. I went for a test drive on an '08 auto and fate must have stepped in because during that test drive, a guy brought in a 6MT for lease return. I inspected it myself, test drove it and purchased it on the spot. EDIT: Pics later because car is currently going through the pre-owned certification process at Acura. For those who don't know, the 6MT Type S is not a car found frequently! Closest one listed from Minneapolis was more than 500 miles away! Quote

94 olds vert Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 The LT looks awesome! I like that color. X2 on the special edition pictures. Quote
3pt1lumina Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Holy crap, ok that's really nice Quote
virtuetovice Posted February 21, 2011 Report Posted February 21, 2011 Um...you're giving up a GP for a rebaged Honda? GTFO. J/K Quote
dodgethis Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 My next door neighbors has a Acura TL, just a different color. I swear when i graduate I am gonna get one. Quote
supertrick_05 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 That wasn't a good choice...that was a RIDICULOUSLY GREAT choice! I love those TL's...they are one of my favorite cars. Everytime I see one, I have to stare at it. And yeah, you don't want a 284 GTP...they suck. Sure, they are fun...until the motor problems start. Then it's a struggle to keep the damn thing running. Biggest POS cars I've ever owned, which is unfortunate...they are such a powerhouse! If GM could have made the motor bulletproof like the 3800, they would be a much more desirable car. Trust me, you're not missing anything by going the TL route. Quote
pwmin Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 wish I could see the pix at work...pretty nice cars couldn't get through a thread without bashing the 3.4X Quote
