    08 type s 6spd with 164k. It's very clean, but needs some work. Do i change the axles to get rid of the wobble, change the control arms to get rid of the clunks and tighten it up, valve cover gaskets, and worry about everything else you just did, or get a 2018 civic r? I love my TLs, but at what point am i just going to keep chasing problems? I don't have the time to work on it myself. I'm just worried the civic will be less reliable than my S. I think 3g was peak Acura. New cars = over complicated and planned obsolescence.

    I drive an automatic, 2006 Acura TL 3.2 and it has over 175k. Ive replaced the timing belt with water pump and pullies. Ive upgraded the alternator 240amp, power steering pump, all of my motor mounts and trans mounts. Ive also swappes my 3rd and 4th gear pressure switch and changed my fluids. I even went as far as to upgrade to the 07 acura tl type s spendle knuckle, new rotors and brembo brake calipers and upgraded to stainless steel brake lines. Since doing all these upgrades my vehicle feels like a brand new car. I have upgraded the sound system (i got an aftermarket factory amp that replaced the actual factory amp) upgraded the two tweeters, 4x 6.5's and the 8in free air sub. Then installed an amp in the trunk with a second battery for two 12's. I only wish I had gotten a manual but I love my TL and if i ever decide to do an engine swap then im sure ill swap the auto for a manual. But right now my car rides super smooth and i get plenty of compliments. The dash will be the next project though... Filling the cracks, smoothing it down and then wrapping it.

Do you plan on supercharging your TL? I wish comptech still made that supercharger for the J32A3 I swear I should open a shop for fixing Acura TL's dashboards. Ive wrapped mine in a two tone alcantara. The only pain was grinding down the cracked areas after filling them. But having taking out my 06 dashboard multiple times I feel like a pro lol. I wish Acura had put more money in a better material dashboard.
