Uh8nbro??

 

Those headlights really need to be wetsanded.

 

Yea the license plate is from my last car lol I just transfered it over didn't feel like paying for new ones lol. Already fixed the headlights lol will post better pics later lol

 

Nice price on that car...

 

^^ thanks man. going to be ordering some parts soon. want to get wheels and tires, coils, and exhaust ordered. and out of the way just waiting for some money haha.

 

You need to clear your PM box... no point in PMing people if we can't PM you back. Lol

 

I have no messeges in my inbox guess cause im still on my trial period I cant get any pms still lol. Sorry man didnt kmow i couldnt get any lol. As for my question about rears no modification or?

 

The fronts just need the Legend front suspension forks and the 2 holes drilled into the top hats otherwise, the rears bolt in quick and easy and its all done. Easiest suspension install ever honestly.

:-)

 

^^ awesome thanks man. im actually going to just go that route. but i have actually been talking to ksport about the coils. and they said they might possibly be willing to make a coil for this car as well but they will just tweek the legend coilover so it will work direct bolt in to the RL. curious to see if they work out lol.

 

That'd be nice too! These Legend coils I'm on are the best I've used to be honest. I've used several sets over time, but on this car, they work great

 

yea exactly im hoping they can mess with it cause it only a few modifications on the front lol. and they would be golden

 

so after doing some searching. i have a company right here like hour away from me that make coils for a 91-95 acura legend called fortune auto they make some of the best coilover setups i have ever seen. and i think im actually going to be picking these up as my coils instead of ksports. and they are only a hour away from me so no shipping just pick it up have same day lol. but little more pricey but are worth it in my opinion. so will be running different setup then some now lol here is coils and wriet up on them lol

Hmm, haven't seen them before but they look interesting . If you do get them, let us know how they feel and how easy the install was

And take pics!

 

^^ def will for sure. these coils all of locals around here tend to use them they are a local company for us like hour away from me and they make really good coils. and use them on there time attack cars. so see how it works out gotta save up some money to get these lol

 

Out of my budget, I'll stick with TSX coilover lol.

 

I'm still trying to figure out why people want to go with the TSX coilover... swapping out the top hats doesn't seem that fun to me. and the K-Sports only need the Legend forks.

As for the Fortune Auto... seems like a good company, I've heard of them before. Instead of buying their Legend coils and since they are that close to you, why not mention to them a little R+D on your car and build a coil for the KA9 instead of having us use TSX / Legend parts so we have a coil that has the correct rebound / spring rates for our car instead of cars a little lighter than ours... TSX weighs in around 3,3xx, Legend weighs in around 3,5xx, and the RL weighs in around 3,8xx lbs...


Just a suggestion for you to bring to their attention.

 

^^ yea i already asked them actually. they said the rl isnt a big enough crowd for them to build a coil for ksport is the only company looking into buidling a coil for sure lol

 

Another reason why K-Sport will still have my support.

 

^^ yea same. i have used them on past cars good company.. im going to try these fortune auto coils out if ksport doesnt come up with a direct bolt in coil. cause they are hour from me and can have them worked on if anything happens same day and pick up same day as purchase

 

more updates coming next weekend going to get my exhaust setup done. will be doing a vip style dual exhaust. so hopefully turns out good lol. pics to come next weekend.

 

Does the Ksport has the adjustable camber plate just like from the pic?

 

i belive they do

 

I hope they do because it will save us from buying a separate camber kit.

 

so had a crew meet today so took a few pics of the RL its completely stock but will be slammed and modded by tax time next year going to slam and wheels. tint will be done in the next month and getting custom vip style exhaust done next weekend.

here are few pics of her so far:

 

also have to work on my fog lights driver side one doesnt work. and there is a puddle of water in it so i need to take it out dry it and hopefully it will work after that if not gotta figure out why it isnt working. want to throw some yellow tint on them.

 

even though i already added it to exhaust thread keeping my thread up to date lol

so here is the exhaust setup im going with. i ordered a summit racing single inlet dual outlet chambered muffler. and to oval tips. that are 3 inches x 4.5 inches littler bigger then i wanted but i can deal with it. but here is pic of what i wanna do. going to have it all welded up saturday

 

so instead of doing the dual tip i went ahead and had dual exhaust welded up. i think it looks better lol. tips a little furter out then i wanted but are even with bumper it self and i think it looks good sounds amazing happy with results now time to slam this things and do some wheels. and im going to get some high temp engine paint to to paint the seen pipes so they do show as much lol

 

Ghetto.

 

^^^ seriously? There isnt anything ghetto.about it at all. So what are you talking about why cause I have one pipe showing? Please explain how its ghetto?

 

He's a known troll that normally says outrageous and insulting things in the 4th generation TL forum.

I would just ignore him and enjoy your car.

 

Yea im not.worried about it. I like it and how it looks but I was just curious how its ghetto lol

 

Hows it sound? And what muffler did you use?

 

Sounds really really good really throaty. Im going yo make a couple videos tonight so you guys can hear it. I used a summit racing dual tio muffler just like a flowmaster pretty much got it for $40 and the tips for $61 lol after welding I spent $281 on whole setup.

 

here is pics closer up of the exhuast and video of it stand still and start up and rev couldnt get a clear driving pic without background noise. but will try agian when im off work wed. but the stand still video has alot of background noise alot of traffic righ tnow in my area lol. but will wed get a better pic in a quieter pic.

here is a video of it to kinda show what it sounds like and a few more up close pics. but noise in the back ground hurt me im going to do another video come wed in a quieter place so i can get good video.

 

Alrihhy so.next up I wanna do yellow fog light tint but inhabe to fix my driver side fog light. It is full of eater and im pretty sure the bulb is blown. Passenger side works fine. How do the fog light come off? Can anyonr explain lol

 

Look through the lower grill towards each fog-light (with a flashlight). You will see a screw, just unscrew it and the housing comes right out.

 

^^ thanks man appreciaet it will do that tomorrow and see why its holding water lol.

 

No problem. If it holds water for too long, it gets a rusty yellow color inside (I found out the hard way, makes sense I guess)

 

yea i gotcha not sure how long water has been in it but im going to fix it tomorrow and probally put some yellow tint on it lol.
