Ya I saw that to, but the thread was so old I didn't bring it up.

[t0talacuratl]

Might be a rebuilt, but I would jump on it for a second ride!

Oh yeah....I'm lovin it.

[OneWickedTypeS]

I spent all day sunday cleaning my truck, debadged it. Then it rains it's ass off.

[civicdrivr]

Lol, the rain is horrible here. But what makes it worse are the horrible roads.

So a viper engine truck can take a TL...I bet it's a close race with the right driver in a type S with a couple mods...and we're getting triple the mileage and he'll have 3 tune-up's with a valve adjustment before the TL factory warranty is up. the dodge v-10 was cool about 15 years ago but it just didn't keep up with technology.

somewhat related, I nosed 1/2 a car length on a Type S from about 5 mph and he didn't gain it back. I might have caught him just a little off guard from the light but he was solo and I had my 220 lb dad in the pass seat. It was a WDP and the look on his face when another WDP TL edged in front of him was priceless (take it he was used to leading from lights). He passed with a smile...it was cool.

1/2 a car?! That's it? You must have been taking it easy. But I know what you mean by an extra passenger. It really does make a difference.

Since I have only had my truck alittle while and its QC you might get me, but off the line im sure the TL will have that advantage but after that I dunno these trucks are wickedly fast.
I totally agree about the Dodge not keeping up with technology with there engines. From my reading these trucks are temper mental with modding.
I really dont see were mileage comes into play, I can only speak for myself, but if I was worried about that, I would not have bought this truck. I drive the fastest brick on earth...LOL

Current MPG average 9.8...

[NedShneebly]

yeah, mpg isn't really a valid arguing point when talking speed but, it's a nice by-product of polished japanese motors.

I agree, I can for see always owning an Acura. I am so impressed by the TL's I have owned. Then there service has been top notch, non of this stupid ass run around you would get at a GM dealer.
Were I work there is a HONDA training facility and they have had a WDP RL sitting out front all week. Damn thats a sexy car.

FYI. All 4 cats are being deleted as well as the resonater, 3 inch piping all the way into a Magnaflow Muffler.

[snowman81]

Nice truck man...I haven't been around!
Yeah, those suckers are extremely fast for a truck. They can take most cars on the road and probably every truck other than a modded turbo diesel. I'm not a truck guy really, but that thing is nice.
Another testament to Acura motors though...in light of the recent weather, I have managed to, yet again, suck water into my engine (hence the name sippy cup). I was driving behind a pick and went to turn down my road...before I knew it, she stalled. This also happened about 5 yrs ago (although last time it was completely my fault...I thought I could make it). So anyway, I had a guy in the neighborhood pull me down the street with his big ass diesel Ford F-250. Got it in the driveway, pulled the plugs and cranked it till I got fuel. Put the plugs back in and cranked her over...stuttered a minute and then she was running. Very rough though. Let her run a little then drove around. Got a CEL...surprise, surprise. Changed the oil this morning and went over to Advanced Auto to pick up some Seafoam and more oil for another oil change tomorrow morning. Read the CEL codes... #2,3,4,6 cylinder misfire, cleared the CEL. Added some octane booster and some Seafoam to the gas and 1/2 can of Seafoam to the oil. So far, I've driven it about 50 miles since clearing the CEL and adding the Seafoam and she seems fine. A little hesitant on start up, but runs smooth after that. I'll run some Seafoam through the IM tomorrow and hopefully that'll clear it up a little too.
The moral is....Acura = bulletproof motor, only 7 more lives left though.

Damn Jeff! How the hell are ya! Have heard from you in a dog's age!

Sorry to hear about your car man. Sounds like you are on the road to recovery. Don't know if you heard about the trip to Charlotte, NC on Dec 5; hope you can make that.

[OneWickedTypeS]

Ya good to hear from you, Sorry to hear about the car.
All I can say is if you ever have an opportunity to own a yellow vehicle DON'T, What a pain in the ass to keep it clean.

[RonJonTL757]

Good luck on the swap today Adrian

wow! I've never heard of someone surving possible hydro-lock twice. that's a very valuable skill you have. did you get the recovery procedures from all the hydro lock stories on this site?

wish I knew more about it when my wife turned her Jetta into a boat about 10 years ago. she cranked it and cranked it...new motor. my buddy deep sixed the motor in his civic same way but, the first was before I ever owned a cell phone and the second I wasn't around.

i know what to do now!

I'm not sure I could own a yellow car...I think they're nice and all but I don't know if I could ever bring myself to buy one. Thanks for the heads up though.

Actually a friend of mine helped me last time I did it so this time it was a no brainer.

[OneWickedTypeS]

Yep I never wanted to own a yellow car to. But when you see the interior thats what sold me, black leather and suede seats with yellow stiching.
Also the Yellow Fever SRT 10's there are only 500 of them there all numbered.
Funny thing is there are 3 of them in richmond all Quad Cabs.

[Bham03TLs]

Great! Maybe you can go with us to the Charlotte, NC meet!

Derrick, any luck with getting your car fixed?

[Bham03TLs]

[quote=t0talacuratl;11498962]Great! Maybe you can go with us to the Charlotte, NC meet!

man i would definitely love to go, but its a bit far plus there's too many things goin against me right now... i just broke the bank with the new tranny and my car is nowhere near my standards for me to go to a car meet. i still need a new front bumper (got a little damage from a fender bender), left side skirt (got two holes), and i gotta clear-coat my hood.

Understandable.....hope you can get everything done soon.

[goldenchild626]

Ok so here is a quick pic from my cell of my new rims courtesy of Pep boys. They are 20" Gianna blitz with white inserts (painted by me) and with a 4" lip.

Damn! Got to wait til I get home to see it! Congrats Shawn!

[t0talacuratl]

Damn Shawn! Those wheels are nicer than your last!

I know you're glad to get some nice wheels back on there. I've been driving on crappy stocks while my wheels are getting painted.

[t0talacuratl]

Anyone know who this is? The car is in Hampton.

Thanks I am glad I got these wheels. I do like them better than my foose wheels. We all have to get up again and go to buffalo wild wings again and watch a football game.

Hey nothing wrong with stock. did you ever get your new j pipe installed? if so any difference with new one. I know you are glad to get your rims painted.

Hell yeah! We should have done something today. Thursday special!

The stock wheels are ok, but the tires are sucking right now.

Yeah, I got it. I made a thread about it. It is a power maker, but it made my exhaust louder along with the deletes. I thought I was going to keep the SRI on, but need to quiet down the intake side. If you still want it, let me know. I just need to find another stock or use CAI.
