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. |

2021 Acura TLX A-Spec Long-Term Update | Infotainment system hits a pothole
Tue, Apr 13 2021The first few thousand miles of motoring in our 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec long-term test car were problem-free, but that changed after we took it on a spirited drive through the winding hills of southern Indiana. You can read about how it handled a full day of thrashing here, but this story will focus on the dead infotainment system previewed in the headline. About halfway through the twisty route, every sizable pothole or big bump in the road would cause the infotainment system to black out. A message would appear declaring “MOST NET LOSS,” and it would quickly dip to black after that. The next big pothole would cause it to flicker back on, but it never remained on for any long periods of time after this. In addition to the screen loss, the speakers would make some rather disturbing crackling noises. This continued throughout the day and for several days beyond that. If the roads I was driving on were flat or devoid of major problems, the infotainment system would generally be fine. It took a major jostling of the carÂ’s bones to cause it to act up, but Michigan provided enough of those to make the problem exceedingly annoying in a hurry. So, to the dealership it went. 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec View 51 Photos After the local dealer looked it over, they said there was a TSB out for this issue, and that theyÂ’ve seen it pop up on other RDXs and TLXs already. Turns out, there are a number of wire connectors between the infotainment system and wiring harness that are causing the problems and coming loose. The fix? Newly designed connectors from Acura, plus the wiring harness is ever so slightly freed up to allow for a bit of movement from violent impacts. Doing this (plus using the stronger new connectors) should ensure that the stress on these connectors is never so great as to cause issues again. The job was completed under warranty and took a full day from diagnosis to the return of the car. WeÂ’ve put several hundred miles on the car since the fix, and theyÂ’ve been completely trouble-free — it sure was nice to listen to AcuraÂ’s excellent ELS audio system again. That said, this issue is one weÂ’ll follow closely to see if AcuraÂ’s fix truly is a long-term solution. WeÂ’ll have a deeper dive on how AcuraÂ’s TouchPad infotainment system works (now that itÂ’s actually working again) soon, so watch out for that update in the near future. You will be able to find all other posts on our Long-Term 2021 Acura TLX page. Related:
Acura doesn't have plans for a new MDX hybrid
Tue, Dec 8 2020Besides an entirely new platform, suspension, and a turbocharged Type S model coming soon, the 2022 Acura MDX is new in another way: it seems to be losing its hybrid trim level. During a media roundtable, Acura's global development lead confirmed that there are no plans for a hybrid version of the new MDX. Part of the reason for the lack of a hybrid for the new MDX is the aforementioned Type S model. The Acura development lead noted that the outgoing MDX Sport Hybrid is the current sporty, high-output version of the crossover. That mantle is now being taken over by the Type S with its turbocharged 3.0-liter V6. The new Type S makes 355 horsepower and 355 pound-feet of torque, which also represents a large power increase over the Sport Hybrid's 321 horsepower and 289 pound-feet. The Type S won't be able to do everything the Sport Hybrid could do, though. While official fuel economy numbers haven't been revealed, we're confident the Type S won't be able to hit the 27 mpg combined of the hybrid. The Sport Hybrid's powertrain was also quite interesting, as it combined its 3.0-liter naturally aspirated V6 with a trio of electric motors. A single motor worked in conjunction with the engine to power the front wheels, and one motor each powered the rear wheels and provided torque vectoring. It was sort of like a backwards NSX. While Acura doesn't have plans for a hybrid right now, it is possible the brand could change its mind. And in an ever electrifying world, it would be surprising if we never saw a hybrid MDX return.

2020 Acura RDX Driveway Test | How does a stroller fit?
Wed, Jun 10 2020From the people who brought you the Luggage Test, it's the Stroller Test! I know, sequels, right? However, as someone who was recently in the market for a stroller and didn't want to buy a new/gigantic family vehicle to accommodate it (not to mention needing to potentially store it in every vehicle currently sold), knowing how big strollers were and how they might fit in cars was important. Now, I can't do much in terms of testing a variety of strollers. For that, I would direct you to Baby Gear Lab, which has quite the comprehensive stroller testing program (Wire Cutter is another good source). One of the things I appreciated about Baby Gear Lab was their independent measurements of each stroller, which through the magic of maths, they translate into more easily comparable cubic-inch measurements. I ultimately chose the new Thule Spring, which is one of the most compact regular strollers on the market, with a folded volume of 5,402 cubic inches (my own independent measurement based on 30 inches long, 16.75 inches wide and 10.75 inches tall). By comparison, the comparable Baby Jogger City Mini 2 when folded is 8,300 cubic-inches according to Baby Gear Lab, while Thule's top-rated jogging stroller, the Urban Glide 2, is 15,388 cubic inches. In other words, if the Thule Spring takes up a lot of space in a trunk, virtually everything else apart from ultra-compact travel strollers will take up even more. This is essentially a best-case scenario. First up, the 2020 Acura RDX, which is one of the most family friendly compact luxury crossovers. Actually, "compact" is almost a misnomer given how much passenger and cargo space is present. And don't you worry dear friends, that cargo space will be fully put to the test soon with good old-fashioned luggage. Since the RDX is first to be tested, we'll just have to consider it in a vacuum. Not many words to spill here. Now here's the Spring on its side. I already know that it can't fit like this in my Audi Allroad when the cargo cover and cargo net cartridges are in place. It would in the RDX with its cargo cover. And that's all she wrote. Hopefully this series will prove helpful. Please let me know if there's anything else to be considered — I'm new to this.Â
