So, in the next few days, I'm picking up a Acura RL (KA9)

After looking at it again... It needs tint after I get the NEEDED parts fixed or upgraded.

Willing to lend a hang in the project Jeff?

please don't tell me you're putting tiny 15's on that tank. :nervous:

Hell no. I will find a set of wheels that will match the car and it's stance. No worries

Ok, so over the past few weeks I've been collecting more and more pieces to get this car moving... literally.

New battery helped out a lot.
New driver's side brake caliper comes tomorrow
New driver's side rotor comes tomorrow
New driver's side fender
New driver's side upper fork
New driver's side JDM headlight for the driver's side... Great little Christmas gift, a PAIR would have looked better though. lol
Got the tires mounted on the TL wheels
Oil change since my uncle didn't stay on top of that
Automatic transmission flush
Fog lights are working
Swapped out the coil packs for the new ones

Needs to have the EGR valve cleaned or replaced
Needs a new hood
Needs the driver's side fender painted black and a lot of PDR work
Needs a new primary 02 sensor

Obviously it needs a bit of a drop. Working on that currently... considering the only setup built for this model RL is the JIC coil overs which are $2,000 without shipping from Japan.

Looking into using 96-98 Legend forks and then then TL suspension should work for me as well... We'll see what i decide to use here in a few months.

looking good, and as you said a drop would really set this car off!!!!

Damn, only $300? What a steal! Check out acuralegend.org for some info on the RL. We have a sticky with the online service manual and I think there is a DIY on cleaning the EGR. The only thing that's hard about cleaning it is that the location is such a pain in the ass to get to lol.

For suspension you have a lot of choices but your looking at dropping about 2g's any way you go. Ivan posted a list on .org a while back....

God bless you... I've been doing a lot of research on AcuraZine.com and I heard of several combos... but some I saw would only drop it 1/4" and if I'm spending money to go lower and get new parts, I want a better drop than that
