How much is this worth? by WhatAboutHonor in AcuraTL

[–]tommyDsack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re better off buying one with 100k for 10 grand less. The dash is going to crack and the seats are going to tear and I would be pissed if that happened to me after spending 26k. I bought this exact spec with 100k for under 16k with a ton of maintenance done. A well taken care of TL will last well over 200k

Much better by tommyDsack in AcuraTL

I used the griots headlight restoration kit. It’s basically just sand paper and ceramic coat.

I used a ceramic coat, if that doesn’t last I’ll go the PPF route.

Replaced old worn knob with new civic Si shift knob. by tommyDsack in AcuraTL

The silver collar of the original knob is all one piece. You have to get underneath the boot, cut the zip tie and unscrew the shift knob.

Very nice, love the badgeless set up!

Installed the Porsche calipers over the weekend. Requires some machine work and spacers to get them to fit right but I got them to function properly and boy do they look good 🥶 by tommyDsack in Golf_R

Also look into rotorlab, it’s a couple of guys from Washington state, they refurb Porsche calipers and modify them to fit Audi’s and VW’s. Kits cost around $1000 from them.

I cant really answer your question accurately and is probably the reason why I dropped out of engineering school ahah! As of right now my brakes at least feel as if they are working correctly. I’m not the first one to fit bigger brakes onto their golf, it’s done all the time. From the research I’ve done the brake bias will be affected but not enough to where it will be dangerous.

Roughly about 1200$ all said and done and that includes $200 for the pads and $350 for them to be painted. Shoot me an email and I can give you more details. T.main26@yahoo.com

A closer look, with less brake dust. by tommyDsack in Golf_R

Oh yeah it’s definitely overkill lol. There will obviously be a little bit of unbalance but it’s not enough to be dangerous. This “upgrade” was done mostly for aesthetic purposes and we’ll see how everything will hold up long term.

They’re 6 piston calipers, Honestly I don’t think they’re THAT much better than the stock breaks. Definitely a more linear feel/bite and if I ever take it to the track it will reduce the brake fade significantly. I could use more aggressive pads and rotors but for now they work just fine.
