Sorry for the lack of updates on this lately guys. Lately it's just been window tint, new lug nuts, and a big surprise coming in the next few weeks that put the cars on hold.

Stay tuned though for pics from Potts in a few days. I think Jen might bring out her Legend too.

Well... She has official hit 261,xxx miles and i think it's time to let her go. She is a little old and a little leaky at the oil pan and could use some new ball joints and I just don't have the time or the effort to go after it anymore. So, it's time to put her back to stock and sell her to pick up something a little newer.

I'm thinking about buying... Another RL. Surprised. I know!

I'm looking for only 3 colors... Black of course.

White...

Indigo Blue...

This way if needed I can swap over my JDM headlights, coilovers, my multiple sets of wheels, and start out fresh with no hail damage or dents and dings. :)

But at the same time... I'm shopping for 1 other car as well...

What year... I'm looking for an '02-'04 RL since they gave it a slightly more peppy engine and upgraded all the suspension and bushings on the car. And I like the AMBER-LESS tail lights. Like they did on the 99-00 Civic tail lights.

Well, good news...

I took it to Acura the other day for an oil change and to figure out the front end wabble... Well, looks like with the amount of miles on her, the wheel bearings up front are shot, the lower front ball joints are shot and the passenger's side upper control arm is also in trouble. So i've parked it and been thinking about selling it.

I get a message from Edison mentioning that a local junkyard has a 2000 Acura RL... JustRob, who is a Tech at Acura, went there on Monday and took off the front knuckles and the lower control arms and the upper control arms to swap it all on and get it back on the road. Fantastic. While I have these parts off, it will be getting new axles as well and in 2 weeks, it'll get a front camber kit as well. Just in time for winter. I would have missed my heated seats, mirrors, and everything else about her.

Also, a new mile stone for the old girl... she just about to hit 262,xxx miles on the original engine and transmission not long ago. Gotta love this beast! Best $300 car ever!

I'm selling the Racing Hart EVOs as well since i want to drop down to a 18" wheel from here on out, we'll see what happens and possibly, all the body dents and scratches might be gone by Spring...
