Im NEW!

Hey guys, my name is Jeremy. I have an 05 RL in redondo red, and a white 2006 wrx stage3. Basically, im really new to the acura thing, and i dont know much about my RL so im here to learn, but im deffinately not new to cars. The RL is an amazing car, i love it. All i have right now is an intake i made. I am hoping to get some wheels (the AME's look sooooo good), UD pulley, mugen spoiler, 5zigen exhaust, and suspension. I am also a photographer and take TONS of pictures. Saddly, i dont have many of the RL, but that will change soon. Anyway, im new, and look forward to learning more about the 2nd gen RL

Welcome to AZ!

When you get pix of your RL together, please do post them in our Photo Gallery at the top of the page.

There are a few of us who have modded their RLs, so you're in good company here.

Nice color on the outside, whatcha' got inside? If you don't have one yet, look into the wood steering wheel. It's not real wood, but it's so comfortable in your hands.

yeah, i was really happy to see there were other people modding theirs. I was at HIN in san mateo this year and i saw the Spoon racing RL and decided mine needed SOMETHING. haha. And then in Super Street i saw an add for 5zigen exhaust, googled it, and came across your videos which is how i found AZ.

touge IS from Visionary. I bought my CAI and exhaust from him for decent prices for my dyno experiment (see link to "my car" in my signature). I'm surprised he hasn't chimed in already.

Excelerate is also a site vendor and the most relevant product he sells for us is the Unorthodox Racing pulley. It turns out that both the underdrive and the modded stock-size pulleys from the J32 engine (TL) fit ours.

Damn man! Must be nice to have those toys of yours at 19!! Check out the Bay Area meets section when you have the chance so you'll know when the next meet will be. I believe for now it's being set for 12/8, but that's still tentative. Lookin' forward to maybe meeting you there....

Sweet WRX! Can't wait to see what you do to your RL. I've doen 5Zigen Exhaust, CAI, Underdrive Pulley and 5Zigen SC3000 Rims. I'd REALLY like to see someone tune the ECM on this bad boy....That could produce some serious gains! Welcome to AZ and I think it's cool as all get out that at 19 you're rollin' in an RL and WRX!

haha, thanks i deffinately dont see any/many teens in RL's but i love this car. its sooooo luxury, but still has a sporty touch to it. and if its not sporty enough on some days, thats when the old suby come out. haha.
