I agree with the both of you gents.

I could use a tsx wagon right about now I still miss my '02 Rav4, removing the seats allowed me to bring home 2 full size fridges, a washing machine, and a dryer (on separate occasions, of course lol). The Rav4 was much lighter, better of fuel, narrower, and 1/4 shorter than the RL. It was also 4 seconds slower in the all important 0-60. Totally different animals, I know.

Here she is:




Btw, does the 05+ RL have split folding rear seats?

 

Does anyone know where I can get some Floormats? I need them to be Beige and its for a 2000 RL.

 

You can get them at the dealer or just do a search online, I'm sure there are some sites with Acura accessories for cheaper than dealer.

 

I don't post very often, but one thing I thought I'd mention is to make sure your tires are properly inflated.

Lately I've been feeling disappointed in the RL's handling abilities (or lack of) until today when I noticed one of the tires looked a little low. I inflated the tire (and the rest) to the proper levels (+1 or 2 psi for added firmness) and it made a world of difference. Turning the steering wheel is lighter and easier, the car stops quicker, and the car responds to quick steering inputs much faster and drama free. Truly an impressive difference. Moral of the story, make sure your tires are properly inflated.

 

If anyone is looking to buy an rl, i am planning on selling mine.

 

what year how much and why are you selling

 

For real?!

 

03 with 84k $10,500

If you look in BM you'll see it for sale.

We have the tsx that we normally take, so the rl won't be seeing many miles. I bought a civic to commute and save gas.

 

i just finished paying mine in dec, 12k total not ready for another one that expensive. thank any how

 

I'm selling mine as well. More than likely won't post in the BM, I have a few local buyers interested.

 

Awwww everyone's leaving

 

Ken, how much are you selling yours for?

Mine is going up for sale once I find a gs430 to replace it.

 

i wont be.

ill probably drive it into the ground or retire it to the garage/weekend car like the hatch after a while.

 

Today is the day.

I just picked up a pearl white 2004 lexus GS430. Loaded with Mark Levinson, navi, wood steering wheel, chrome 17's and in great shape. Just brought it home, will hopefully detail it this weekend. I'll throw some pics up when I have some time. This is what I've been looking for for years, finally found it!

The V8 is amazing by the way. Now I just have to talk the wife into keeping the RL. We got rid of her Scion XB.

 

Some quick cell phone shots:

 

^^ Nice. If you don't me asking, how much did you get it for? and how many miles? I'm in the market for a used car also. Thanks.

 

^^ Nevermind. I just saw it in the other thread.

 

What are you getting rid of? What are you looking at buying?

 

My sister totaled my RX330 last month so now I'm really looking for a minivan for the kids...preferably a Odyssey from 2005-08. If I do find a minivan, I'll still keep the RL for myself and sell my wife's Tc.

You got a great deal on that GS430. Looks to be in pristine condition. No door dings? That's unheard of, esp. in Milwaukee. The previous owner must have worked at home or parked a mile away from the closest car. But congrats on the new ride. Hopefully, you'll still keep the RL and attend the Milwaukee meet next month.

 

I'll still come to the MKE meet in July, I'll just be in the GS. I can always bring my TL too

Good luck with the search!

 

Looking good man. What's the first mod gonna be?

 

Don't do this to me...

 

Onee of my favorite cars and colors.

 

Ttranslation..... I already have some things lined up but can't let the misses find out.

 

No, I kept the RL stock! I'd rather save up for a weekend toy. No modding

 

I've had the RL since last January and I just finally programmed homelink.

 

nooooooooooo!

 

If i can't sell it outright, i'm trading it in for a toy.

 

Didn't u upgrade to some piaa bulbs?

 

License plate bulbs! Come on! That's no modding

 

I installed the license plate bulbs to LED and it looks really good a night
I'll post some pictures of my car for you guys later on.

I wish our RL has timing chain so we don't have to worry about it! My brother and I are in the process of changing the timing belt and it's really a painful experience Oh well, it's time to get back to work LOL

 

Not oem = mod.

 

Great, after 4hrs of hard work and put everything back now we have a small leaking of coolant.
I hope is not too serious!

 

yeah yeah yeah.

I want to do some maintenance first. Going to replace my A/C filter and engine air filter. It's already tinted, need clay/buff/wax it (hopefully this weekend) and see the real condition.

When I was claying my 2005 TL, I noticed that I was missing the right A-spec side skirt I hope I don't find too much on this one.

 

After 23k worry free miles (just about to roll over to 150k) I finally need to stick some money into the car. Need a new passenger upper control arm and rear sway bar links. Got a quote for $310 but I have a friend that works at a Honda dealer that will do the labor for about $50 and I'll find my own parts.

Good news - don't need struts

What a great car she has been!

 

Ive replaced both upper control arms and all my sway links. The rear ones were shot, not even in the socket. Have you checked rock auto? Thats where I bought the sway bar links, but i ended up getting the Honda control arms.

 

^I try to use only OEM parts.

The car is in the shop now getting the work done, I hope that all the clunking stops.

It only spent 1 day on the road last week, otherwise been just sitting in the garage Maybe I'll have "average" miles soon.

 

Welp, I'm up next on the for sale list. The pealy whitey is on the market... as is.

 

What happened?

 

I have 3 cars and I really don't need a gas guzzler right now. The fact that I dumped it and gave it bigger rollers doesn't really help its consumption either. Hell.... my odyssey gets waaaaay better gas milage and it's lowered on 18's. Perhaps I will tinker with that bad boy. Granted, I will miss the luxuries.
