Winter plans have started already!

Being I live back in the Midwest now and we have this little thing called "Winter", I am planning on making some improvements to the car over the off season.  Most notably will be a redesigned front bumper/splitter configuration and some more modifications to the engine for more power and better cooling.  One of the nice things about the engine in the TL is that the series has been in production for about 10 years and Honda/Acura is still using a version of the engine to this day.  So many upgrades and improvements have been made over the years and they are directly swappable to my engine.  One such upgrade is the intake manifold and throttle body of the newer 3.7L Acura engines.  They flow more air than even a ported and polished version of the manifold I currently have, making the choice to pursue buying one almost a no brainer.






Also been throwing around the idea of adding some aftermarket cams to the car.  Something mild enough that I could run it without a tuneable ECU but still more aggressive than stock.  Stay tuned for more details on this in the future.  One company that actually makes cams for the car is BisiMoto.  He has an incredible reputation for quality and performance.  Check out his site for more details - www.bisimoto.com


As standard, I'll keep this up to date with anything I do to the car.
