  • With these Acura TL's being over 10 years old, it's hard to keep them looking CLEAN! Especially when you're on a budget. In this video, Chris stops by so we can work on the car, making it look SO MUCH CLEANER! Still have a long way to go, but we are making progess..

    Thanks for your vids bro I recently purchased a 06 TL. It’s my first car. We live in the same state 💯✌🏾. You’ve inspired me to do future modifications to my TL. Keep up the good work with the channel. Happy Holidays.

    @ 2:16 Random question. Would you happen to know the specs on the Enkei’s? Wanted to exact same wheels for my ‘05. Was thinking 18x8, +35, on 245/40/18. Great content btw!!

      he had the 17x9 +35 RPF1's. forgot the tire size, i want to say 255/35/17. If you check out some of my recent videos, I have those exact spec you commented (18x8, +35, but 235/40).

    • @thecarfiend11
      @thecarfiend11  2 роки тому

      You didn't specify what you're comparing. I assume "performance" or "horsepower". I don't know percentage wise, but typeS has a 3.5L motor and the base is a 3.2L. Obviously the 3.5L is faster, but not by too much, from what I've heard

      @james_schneiderwind Місяць тому

      They’re very reliable cars and can last 250k miles on average as long as you maintain them properly. My first TL has 320k miles on the original motor and trans, and I just got an 04 6mt with 178k. What other car were you also looking at?

    • @thecarfiend11

      Any car can last, as long as you keep up with maintenance and repairs. But the 3rd gen TL is fairly reliable
