What makes it a Saber as opposed to a TL or Inspire? (curious)

Acura TL 99-03 = 98-02 Honda Inspire/Saber... Inspire was distributed one area of Japan, and the Saber was distributed in another area..

Maybe its Canadian...:pat:

lol, i try and ride my bike as much as possible, to keep the mile off ...Lou only has like 20k on his TL

damn! i dont want miles on either vehicle... lol... but i hardly ride my bike too, i moved closer to work recently and bmx it to.fro (makes afterwork drinks a lot safer)

bought my bike in apr w. 4k mi, it's only at 6600 now chee! 

20k on a 2g is ridiculous.  even rev has more than that i think.  haha

Smart man, bmxing for after work drinks!!:biggthumpup:

looking great Joe... I've found my way here to learn the basics... lol

Grant doesn't hate the parts really (as long as they are properly placed and correct), he more hates when people call their LS a Celsior...as do I.  You don't see my calling my Vanden Plas a Sovereign?  That's what it's called in Europe and Japan.  To me it's gay too.  I mean calling an LS a UCF20 is fine if that's your chassis code because that's the same here or there.  I called my Z a Z (or Z32 if talking to other Z people so they knew which chassis I had), not a Fairlady.  Screen names don't matter...but telling everyone you have a Saber is just weird.  I mean most people will look at you and go "looks like a TL to me?".  I think that's what he's getting at and that's basically how I feel too.  I like to see the parts conversion done properly, so I have zero beef with that, but it doesn't mean you'll see me doing it 100% of the time.  My Vandan Plas will stay saying Vanden Plas unless I go all J-Complete...which costs too damned much..haha.

who cares?

^
lol

i agree.  and understand. 

but even i find that my car is controversial in a way.  H inspire grille and trunk badge is fine from the outside...b ut pop the hood and i still have the acura 3.2 TL-S engine plastics....
steering wheel airbag is still A, ACURA bose stock deck, acura navigation system, acura navi system in the trunk.... too much $ for me to convert all to honda... but that all was never my intention.'

i mean i coulda called my thread the inspire thread but i dont think of my car as an inspire........... nor does photz think of his car as a saber im sure... just a thread-title, is what im thinkin'.

ps regarding the UA5's tho... what i REALLY cant stand is when someone puts the INSPIRE badge under the acura logo on the trunk.. and keeps both the A trunk emblem and the grille too... wtf acura inspire?????

hahahaha.. yup, either do it, or dont. not half ass.:pat:

Hehe, Acura Inspire sounds nice though.
If there was a major JDM conversion somewhere, I think it would be neat to call it an Acura Inspire, as it is in fact, a little bit of both.

havent been her in a few days.. No i dont call my car a Honda Saber.. just a thread title.. Like Inspire said, just cuz i have the grill which is the inspire grille and badging doesnt make it a Honda Saber... til im driving on the right side of the car, its an Acura TL, eventhough I do get a laugh when ppl ask what it is, or theyve never seen a honda saber..

Thanks Rodney, lots to learn from this site bro

Nice Car!!! Gotta Love the Acura!!!!

[QUOTE=Yokotas13;95103]i really hate when people are posers and call their car something its not[/QUOTE]

so if they change their emblems and prefer to reference their car as a different name...they're a poser? 

i thought the Japaneses were a little more dignified and respectful than this...hmm
