2005 Acura Tl Custom Type-s All Motor, 1 Of A Kind on 2040-cars
Dayton, New Jersey, United States
Up for sale is an Acura TL 2005. It came with a hydro locked engine so I got the opportunity to build a nice TL with a custom engine. Clean body and over 15k in mods. Reason for sale is I have another TL and having a daily car the same color/year style as my show TL Is kind of boring. This isn't your typical TL you see on the road, nor am I in any rush to sell. This car will be sold to an enthusiast who knows the work/time/appreciation it takes to build a car and knows what kind of work is into it:
Title is cleared and it's on the road with inspection. NJ Title on hand. -3.6 ltr custom built engine (TYPE-S engine with forged Rods/Forged pistons/bored/ported and polished) -a spec front lip (rear is off of the car already which photo shows the TL before it was for sale) (REAR LIP IS OFF). -window visors -custom accord fog lights -rear window spoiler -brand new Pirelli tires -brand new XLR8 engine mounts -custom headlights with Zkw projector lens (blacked out/cleared/switchbacks/6k bulbs/HID/red ring with strip/Carbon fiber sides) -precats -powder coated cold air intake -powder coated valve covers/I'm -real carbon fiber shift knob -carbon fiber wrapped radio trims Car has stock exhaust right now. Picture shows the quad exhaust which is OFF the car - I can add it in for $800 EXTRA). While I was building the engine I decided to replace everything: -new water pump -new talking belt -new clutch / pressure plate / flywheel -new axles -new idle pulley -basically a brand new engine -short throw -corsport shifter bushings -aem fic piggy back ECU with a safe street tune About 5-6k miles have been put in the car since inspected to prove its drivable and nothing is wrong. These cars are known for 105k major service and why spend 9-10k on a similar stock TL and have to put 2-3k into maintenance and still have a stock TL. To replicate this TL it would cost over 20k (cost of car value 8k). Many extras and reason for the "quick" sale is that I wanted to prove that it was on the road for a while and running with no problems as it would be better than buying a rebuilt title tl and then selling "as is"..this car has been used for around 5-6k miles and is still being driven. Mileage on the body is 118k and let me tell you this car is clean. Front bumper could use some tlc from road use but other than that its perfect. No problems at all and it has around 370-380 horsepower ALL MOTOR. Don't take the risk of buying a TL and TURBOing or Supercharging it and blowing the motor. Anyone knows all motor is ALOT safer than boosting and a lot more expensive..This TL is one of a kind and anymore questions please ask. You can contact me anytime. Yes yes I know you never get what you put in the car but I can always just part it out and sell car for 7k and parts easily within a week for 8k but why ruin a fully built car that someone many appreciate. |

Honda delays JDM Legend over quality concerns
Tue, Dec 30 2014Honda has been having some quality issues lately, to say the least. Most of those have revolved around the airbags supplied by Takata, but not exclusively. The new Fit Hybrid, for example, has been subject to five consecutive recalls in the year since it launched. And now the Japanese automaker is reportedly delaying the launch of its new Legend sedan. The Legend, for those unfamiliar, is what Honda calls the Acura RLX in the Japanese Domestic Market – a model that has been subject to a handful of recalls in the United States, affecting components ranging from headlights to seatbelts to suspension bolts. Such quality control issues have prompted Honda to delay the introduction of its flagship sedan in its home market, pushing its arrival in Japanese showrooms back from the fall (when the model was revealed) initially to January 22 and now to February 20, according to the report from Bloomberg. The extra time is earmarked the give Honda engineers the opportunity to look into potential problems with the vehicle's radar safety system and its advanced hybrid powertrain, before introducing it to the local market. Hopefully further recalls can be avoided once deliveries have commenced.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
2015 Acura TLX confirmed for New York debut
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Acura has announced that the 2014 New York Auto Show will see the arrival of the production TLX - the sedan that will replace both the TL and TSX in the company's lineup. The TLX was already previewed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show as a near-production concept model, meaning we already have a very solid idea of what the 2015 model will look like.
What we didn't know, was that Acura has finally gotten on board with some advanced powertrains, rather than just plucking stuff from the Honda parts bin. Okay, that's kind of a lie. We've seen both of the TLX's engines in previous Honda products - a 2.4-liter, VTEC four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 from the Civic Si and Accord, respectively - but the transmissions will be totally new.
First, an eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic will be paired with the base four-pot. The V6, meanwhile, will get a nine-speed automatic. Unfortunately, there's no mention of a manual gearbox. Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steer will be standard on the front-drive variants for both engines, while the 3.5-liter V6 will also be available with the brand's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.
