Update! I have taken some pictures of Jassmine up in Erie, the first set at a freshly cleared sight on 12th street the other at the wonderous Presque Isle in the early morning! Enjoy!
Update! I recently purchased a 1988 Toyota Supra turbo 5-speed. As you may know if you have seen my site before, I used to own a 87 NA/auto Supra. I love the Acura, but miss powersliding in a rear wheel drive coupe. Look forward to pictures in november of the new car and McB autosport [where the car is being rebuilt for track purposes!] The TL will still receive some new upgraded brakes in the near future, and I am also thinking about buying a set of third gen. wheels for this car.
Welcome to my site. This site is dedicated to my Acura 3.2 TL sedan. I have owner this vehicle for the past two years, but I have only began to modify the car in the past few months. Here are some facts about the stock 1999 Acura 3.2 TL off hand...
Here are some new images of my car with my 18's. Enjoy!
Future Plans! I am looking to replace my old rotors and pads with new upgrade ones. Look for Rotora or Brembo rotors to replace my old OEM ones, as well as a set of either Project Mu or Hawk pads to compliment the new rotors.

Future mods/plans-
-The reason for my choice of mods stems from my new interest in autocross racing. Hence my purchase of so many suspension/footwork mods. I plan on buying sway bars [Neuspeed] as well as front and rear engine struts [Neuspeed]. Before that though, I must adress my brakes. This car is heavy, and needs an upgrade [Rotors, Pads, and Brake Lines] before I can really feel confortable autocrossing. After that, I plan on thrashing this Acura whenever possible [who am I kidding, I already do!] If anyone has experience in autocrossing, and would like to give any suggestions, or even general suggestions at all, please leave me messages. Thanks for visiting!
Here are some very recent images. As you can tell, I have on the car a set of winter tires. I go to school in Erie Pa [Mercyhurst], so Kumho dry rubber doesn't exactly cut it.
These images showcase the exhaust. To any and all TL owners, this exhaust system is excellent. A deep growl comes out of the behind of this car now, and although I don't feel much change in power, but I can feel much better responce from the throttle. This is my favorite mods to date!
Here are some more random images showing the interior, and motor. I really find this car to be very confortable even though I am a very tall guy [6ft. 4inch.]. It has power everything including seats which are heated. The Bose stereo [225 watts] is amazing for a stock unit, it even uses an 8 inch sub in the back which is strong enough to quench my music needs.
Now, for the ugliest rims ever! my 16's have had the shit kicked out of them, so enjoy thier god awfulness!
Here are some older images. Sorry for the poor quality, they were taken with a fun saver camera, unlike the newer digi-images. They show the new wheels, which I have had to take off due to climate change. Notice as well, the ugly ass mud flaps hanging behind the car! EEEWWW!!!
Here are some sunset pictures after a breaf thunderstorm.

update!- I just ordered a new filter, and also a new Buddy Club Race Condensor unit. It's a new grounding kit made by buddy club with a few additional advantages. I also bought a headlight film treatment, making my highbeams yellow. It looks great, and doesnt hurt the strength of my high beams.
