impeccable video young man! i like what you’re doing for the acura community! keep it up

I had one of these a long time ago in a manual and loved it. It was one of the best car car I've ever had

Gonna follow this channel as I build my own 06 Base great content man I can’t wait to see where you go

This was my first lease car back in 2008, Truly a master piece.

Great Video- i just picked up an 06 Acura TL- not Type S but it does have the Manual 6 speed- I love it and thanks to your video i will keep a close eye on the oil and a Quart in the trunk- Also I missed the heated mirrors- Thanks Brother

I have an 06 Acura TL automatic with 227k. The motor is super strong (but ive put a lot of work into the motor). The transmission shifts like a dream but I also change the fluids every 12k miles. While I bought it second hand most of the issues I had were strictly cosmetic. Since owning it I've replaced my two tweeters, 2x 6.5 door speakers, 8in free air sub, and 2x 6.5 rear deck speakers. I upgraded my stock amp with the 5 channel MB Quarts amp which was plug and play. Also installing a nice double din touch screen radio was awesome. I did have to get custom front and rear seats (mainly got custom front seats because it's a white car with tan interior and I still wanted heated seats on the new front seats.) I had coilovers at first but then went to air suspension. Because of the air suspension, I was only able to put in a single 12in sub. My white 06 acura tl with the Aspec kit with my purple rims turns heads. Also a downside is having to put 93 octane for gas. But I don't have any oil burning issues. Just make sure when you lower it you get a damn good camber kit. I got skunk2 upper camber arms and SPC rear adjustable control arms. Swapping my tan interior for black was a pain but for the most part I just used vinyl wrap around plastic pieces and ordered door panels for the front and back off ebay. If you know where to look there lots of aftermarket parts. Next will be to finish rebuilding the top side of the engine, then working on building up my transmission for the supercharger.

i recently got my type s for 500 its my first car ive already put 1.5k in it to get it running and i cant wait to see the car change and get better over time.

guess we all have that tpm error😂

Instant like for the four doors more *cutoff*

Had the 03 TL-S with bolt ons...Loved it....Traded it in for an 07 TL-S...Loved it even more....Traded it in for a slow Tacoma...Supercharged the Tacoma...Still miss the 3rd gen TL-S....Maybe I will get one again 😁

I love my 07 type s, super fun, super comfortable, it has been the easiest car I’ve worked on (normal maintenance), I would swap it to manual but with my disabilities auto is easy on my body.

I’m looking to buy an automatic it’s an 07 model with 133k miles but the guy said when he starts the car that it smokes sometimes but that many times it doesn’t Is this major issue?

What city of Texas are u from bro? Are there TL Type-S group here in Texas? And any shop u recommend on building my Type-S

as a TL base model owner with around 100k miles on mine here is my pros and cons. Pros first, easy to work on, pretty good aftermarket support, great headlights, fun to drive, reasonable mpg (i get mid 20's), nice quiet interior with all the options. Cons has a timing belt which needs to be replaced every 100k or 6 years which ever comes first, Brake rotors can warp pretty easy, dash is prone to cracking, headlight bulbs are expensive to replace (they are HID's), no updates to navigation software, prone to auto transmission problems (although I have had zero issues with mine), lastly requires premium gas. I'd buy one again been a great car, and has a timeless look to it.

I got a tl in nyc ive had it for 5 years I see u got a handy shop

My type s has 246k miles. Love it but lotta maintenance i gotta do before i drive it again. Stupid pcv valve caused oil leaks everywhere. Also gotta replace motor and trans mounts and change fluids. I guess im one of the few who prefers automatic. A manual in busy city traffic sucks

I wonder if i can get a tune or chip that will make vtec kick in at like 3700 rpms...

CLASS over flash!!🏆

What type of shark grill did u use ?. And I love ur splitters .

I’m picking up 08 type s tomorrow

06 manual sport variant with 223k... Only starts to burn a little oil after 3k miles on an oil change for me... Just check it every fuel fill up. Maybe the previous owner didnt do oil changes every 5k or less and that could be why it burns more frequently. Never getting rid of it. Its basically a honda accord si no one knows about with brembo brakes, LSD, stiffer sway bars, this came out befor the type s existed.

I had an 05 and the dash cracked and I had it replaced by Acura for 400 dollars not including the price of the dash. That was just a bought the only issue I had with it. I didn’t know this at first but if you hold the unlock button the windows and sun roof open.

When you installed that new radio system, does it still allow you to put in the cars codes after getting maintenance done?

Just sold my 2008 base got it with 96k miles and sold it at 151k miles was reliable until the suspension kept constantly breaking like the control arms, ball joints, and axles. Put more money fixing it, then what it was worth. Never again but its fun for a first car. Also no one mentions it, but be prepared to remove the annoying rattling heat shields! And yes i was on top of my maintenance, always remember its an old car and things will break!

Where did you get the seat covers ???

Just passed up a 6spd Manual white TL-S 180k mi for $7.5 What MPG do you get? Does the steering in this car feel a bit heavy to you guys?

I have a 2007 TL with Navi but auto manual is bad?

I heard that there hard to work on because the engine is kinda of tight

link for the grill? it looks very clean

mine break necks idk about you also mine dont burn oil and the only time it did leak was when i broke the oil pan drain plug

Where you get steering wheel cover

How much oil does your 3.5 burn? I've noticed its only an issue on the type-s for some reason. My 3.2 burns almost no oil ater ~3000miles.

What do you mean by “This car doesn’t get much attention.”? I was told by many that the 3rd gen TL is a unique and sought after car. 🎉

Car seat cover ?

Sorry to tell u this car is not lightweight by any means, especially power to weight ratio on a fwd 😐👎🏽 nonetheless still pretty fun to drive.

I've been beating on my Acura TL Type s for 12 years now and it has never burned a drop of oil. The only problems I have had was my air compressor going out, crack dashboard, and fading paint.

I have to correct you my boi its definitely the 2nd gen and the 04 - 05 automatic that have the transmission issue the 06 is solid Asf !! I have a 06 A-spec TL n it’s been thur so much n still running strong

I have a 2007 TL and a 2007 TL-S. I bought the S with 118k. She is now 250+k. Has NO leaks at all. Keep up on the maintenance and these will treat you right! The TL I just picked up a few months ago. Sorting the maintenance neglect from the previous owner... From experience btw, if you've got mileage on a Honda auto trans, DO NOT flush it! Guaranteed wat to make it fail. Never flushed the trans even once on my S!

Does it need premium gas like the g37 or can I put regular 87?

Where did you get your shark mouth grill?

I remember when i had the 05 base when it came. i felt like rambo lol

Hey everyone, I am just getting in this car world and I am about yo buy y first car. Today I had the chance to drive one of these cars. I love the design and the interiors, how ever I saw a TPMS light, and while I was driving I could feel the wheel was hard asf, also I could feel the car was like not going above 3rpm, and couldn’t feel any power on it when I press the gas. I felt the engine was like endured… I think it was a 2010 Tl, do you guys think it would be a good idea to get the car and if anything happens work on it? I really loved the design and the interiors!

CON: Back seats dont fold down. PRO: The hidden feature to drop all windows Regardless...i love this car! Had an 05 now an 08.

Let me correct you real quick it's only the 2004 and the 2005 that have transmission recall 2006 2007 and 2008 got upgraded Transmissions

Got mine for $2400 cad had to do repairs but the kms was low

I had a 01 Acura cl auto back in the day and it was ok until the tyranny said bye bye. Also it gets gapped by a 2005 Toyota Tacoma with 33 inch mud tires. Tacoma was still pulling at 120mph on the freeway

Got same stereo but with out navi working how you did it bro

Y doesnt this thing have a timing chain so that i dont have to do timing belts every 100k. Another common problem for honda v6 in general...starter wire corrodes and breaks... So you go to start the car and it does nothing... Relatively easy fix i did myself...

What a sexy humble guy

I disagree with you on number #3 my 08 acura tl type s is black on black mostly stock but everywhere i go with my car people love it im always getting asked if i want to sell it I disagree the tl expecially a type s with the original wheels is a neck breaker i have had plenty so i know 🤷‍♂️

So 2004 to 2008 are no good then. I’m planning to get a 2011.

Definitely looking into getting this car 😮‍💨

My 05 automatic took a shit. It was expensive to fix. Fuckin expensive to fix.

I have a tl type s. It is a honda, but it is an extremely heavy fully loaded car. I have a 2000 civic si as well. Drive the two and tell me the tl is not heavy

How did you do that in the “fun” clip 😂😂

Acura tl gang let's goooooooo lol

Where’d you get those seat covers?

I have to spent over a 1000 bc the previous owner didn’t take care of it well

bro forgot the rear main seal, waterpump and cracking seats

? I'm lost

Followed earn

i bought my 04 acura with 200k miles for $900 bucks

Beast type s . Let me boost u

Light weight 🤣

Mate your car have an auto not a manual.

Acura owners, do not use Mobile 1 in your Acura. that type of oil brand burns its oil very quickly inside your engine.
