I bought 2 sets, used ones for $250 and new ones for $325

when I traded in the 03' I gave mine away for free to somebody with an 01'

so if you look around you can get a great deal

Very pleased with this CL-S

Things I'm dying to do,like... now:

springs - comptech
Stock Exhaust back on, or new 03 exhaust
Yeah the RX8 is kinda weak compared to a CLS. Great choice for a car that doesn't cost a lot. Let me know if you need any help with the springs, mufflers or tail lights. I have a big garage and lots of tools. I'd like to check out those mufflers before you take them off too.

ChadT - Thanks dude... I might very well take you up on that... think I've also decided that I simply have to have XM.

I get Sirius receivers for free since I work for Infiniti, but the quality is not nearly as good as XM. What's everyone here using, Sirius or XM?

Sure let me know. I work on my friends Audis a lot. Sounds like the money you saved not getting a G is going to end up on the Acura!! It's fun to have something you've made your own though.

What is motorkote ?

I put the stuff (motorkote) into my Lexus and was shocked to feel the engine smooth out over a couple day's time... I also have a 96 VW Jetta for winter - put the shit in that thing and it was like a new engine.

I saw them demo the stuff at Passen Motorsports here in Columbus... they had a bearing load tester and used about 20 different products on this bearing - then they added weight onto it as it was spinning...

The other oils seized up at like 20-40lbs of pressure.

Then the guy takes a tiny droplet of Motorkote and adds it to the bearing - it went to like 100something pounds before they ran out of weight to add and it was still spinning.

It's a company based here in Ohio - the guy I talked to said they're planning on KILLING the market with this stuff...

The funny part is how low in cost it is compared to other liquids. My IS300 definitely gained HP from the addition... he was telling me they could add it to wheel bearings, trannys, etc...

HIGHLY recommend it. Your car will show more power, torque, and better gas mileage too...

The chemist that designed this liquid is the same guy that created Rain-X... so he's got some good history...
