Project: TL Type S

[WRXtranceformed]

With 93,000 miles the time has been approaching rapidly where I need to decide if I'm keeping this car and paying it off or trading it in for something newer / different. After 100k miles the value of these cars plummets pretty quickly, I just had to fight the county over the appraised value of the car and how much tax I'm supposed to pay on it. They valued it at $24k, I sent a witty letter explaining that if I could sell it for $24k I would be at the dealership right now trading it in. In reality in this condition, it's closer to $17.5k.

I think I have resigned to keeping it and running it into the ground. This is a big step for me because, as most of you know, I go through cars like I have girlfriends in high school / college.

My mod bug has still been itching at me and I was throwing around the idea of getting another project car...an older EVO, etc. Or a bike. I decided against the bike for a number of reasons, and I also decided that it would be silly to carry the expense of another car again when I'll rarely drive it. So, that means that once this car gets out of the 100k warranty I will be modding it to tide me over until it's paid off and the prices on used C6/Z06s has dropped considerably

RV-6 Jpipe is the latest and greatest exhaust to come out of the Acura community. Because of the severely restricted stock jpipe, average gains for the TL-S are around 15whp and 12wtq. It eliminates the third cat as well. Not bad for $450.
