wifes 04 TL

I break stuff
I bought this 2004 TL off one of my customers it was just sitting in her driveway on 3 flat tires and hadn't been driven in almost a year. Bought some miro 19x8.5 and now my wife is driving it instead of the saturn. But since the Pathfinder crapped out Im now driving the saturn....some how I got screwed on this whole deal lol.

Added the messy garage pic, but the gp and the TL side by side. You cant really tell but the old 18s are on the TL in that pic
 


Lol she said I could drive the TL instead of the saturn but I put a ton of miles on vehicles and I would rather put them on the saturn plus it gets 40mpg even though the acura still gets around 28mpg
 
I just need the crank gear chamfered on my double roller then reassemble. But the machine shop isnt returning my call.

Very nice. I loovvvveeeddd the sound of the j series engine. Please excuse my honda love for the next sentence. VTEC on that car, with an intake, is one of the best sounding engine noises ever.

j series timing belts suck. Easily one of the hardest jobs I've done. Had a 99 accord with a 3.0.

Thankfully the timing belt was just done along with struts and a few other things.
This is the only car Ive ever seen that sells for double its book value, its crazy that a car that books for 5k average resell is 10k (according to kbb and cars.com). Best $3500 ive ever spent....lol I spent more on my turbo setup for the GP.....wait thats just sad

I have no complaints with this car decent hp, good gas mileage, and a blast to drive and they make turbo kits for them!!!!
 
Yeah, i liked my 99 accord v6 until i borked up the rear suspension and red neck fixed it lol. managed to bend an alum alloy rim...

3500 is a steal. You should put an intake on it for that beautiful engine noise... :-)

whoops. I still have the 18s sitting in the garage the are kinda boogered up, but would make decent winter wheels.
 
Haha nice. I had an AEM one, it was only like 90$ on amazon for a short ram, butt dyno was happy and teh soundz were pure sex. I always got sh1t milage with that car tho.. never took long drives it was mostly in town.. I was probably always in VTAK because I was in high school, it sounded cool, and I thought it was a raceker.
