Page One - welcome to my site!

I own a 1996 Acura 2.5TL (Honda Inspire/Saber in Japan), and have had it for about 5 years. It has 123k (update: 127k!) miles and is still going strong. It has an inline-five cylinder engine in it, which surprises most people. The engine is layed out in a longitudinal configuration, but drives the front wheels. Doesn't sound too efficient, but it works great. Thanks Cornflake :)

I like to try things that no one has really tried before on their Acuras. This website will be my platform to load pictures, videos, and all that good stuff that is hard to find. I have taken apart and reassembled nearly every part of the car (interior trim, body panels, bumpers, engine bay components, you name it) and am a good source for questions concerning such. I am a big do-it-yourself'er and have barely spent any money at all on the car (minus the stereo).

I just got a digital camera, so posting pictures (and maybe videos) will be a lot easier for me than it used to be. Check back often to see what's new!

Haven't had much time to take recent, good pictures, but here are a couple quick ones -

The first picture was right after a wash, the rest are a little dirty...

Haha, had simliar "incident" in my TL...except I had a (sober) passenger cut the wheel at 80mph. Where did you get the idea of the black, I've never seen it before.

Does look like a cop car dude! Clean though. Just one thing, the TL is actually a LONGITUDINAL engine configuration, where the cylinders run front to back. A TRANSVERSE engine runs across the car, left to right. Just for clarification. ;) Check out my 3.2. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/400768
