Interestingly enough I have witnessed alot of modded RLs popping up. I say RL owners on the east coast have a mega RL exclusive meet. Any ideas can be thrown around.

First Idea:

We meet somewhere along the eastern seaboard.

Sorry Western RL owners...I really was not reffering to you guys in this thread

 

anywhere between New Jersey and North Carolina would be a good middle point. Seems like most RL's are from VA and up though. At least from what ive seen.

 

Im down but my brother gonna be mad he got a type-s.

 

RL's are whack!

 

going to be a pretty small meet...

I went to a buffet style place in LI after the meet with Lex and 3 other guys.

The hostess asked me and my wife on two separate consecutive (3 minutes apart) occasions if we wanted a table for 2 and we had to explain we're waiting for table for 6...

 

I'm down to bring the stock love.

 

that's what i said...until i got one

yeah, we're heavy, we big-boned, but we super AWD, and ain't as ugly as our newer brothers (front and back). haha.

 

I disagree

 

haha, thats messed up.

 

What about a trip out to the Dragon to test out this SH-AWD business.

 

for this test we would need the competitors, BMW 528xi, MB E350, Infiniti M37 and probably Acura TL SH-AWD for kicks and giggles.

oh yeah...some sponsors and race insurance. If we get that...I wanna do it!

 

I love AWD and all but for a dragon run I would be on two wheels.

 

anyone got an aerial view of this dragon beast?

 

there is tons of info on this site: http://www.tailofthedragon.com/

Here is a flier with a sketch

 

Let's have the meet at Shoney's so we can all hit the buffet!

 

yes, I saw that website. A huge mess of information and links. I clicked around for 5 min and couldn't find jack.

 

Man I havent been to Shoneys since I was a kid. same with Sizzler. They arent around here anymore LOL

 

this is what happened at the last meet. Beware of Blazing GT.

 

No comment

 

lmaoooo i was just giving you a hug bro! lmaoo

 

You also changed your avatar. Oh lord!!!!!

 

lol @ blazing gt (i <3 037)! looks like if blazing gt goes it will be a blast!

 

hahaha

 

It's nice to see that the RL brings out such....umm...friendliness. Yeah, I'm talking to you, Blazing.

If the S2000 guys can manage to do the Dragon at least once a year ("Wake the Dragon"), I'm sure you guys can put something together. Maybe Honda/Acura can sponsor. I did the Dragon in my S2000 two years ago and it was fun.

 

I think if you guys see 037s RL you guys will fall in love..

that dragon trail looks hot

SH-AWD will be nice

 

Can chitown RL come?

lol

sucks that i am the only RL in chicago that is modded. that i've seen...

i hope they come out the closet and start popping out...

 

I haven't seen any modded RL's in Manhattan. I was actually behind a 2009+ black RL yesterday, stock.

Probably the same one I've seen a few weeks ago. This isn't the best price range for modders.

When they trickle down to used we should see a few more. Like 3-5 more

 

whatever happened to this idea?

 

I think it went to hibernation.....

 

I think we ran out of RLs even though I may have mine for a bit longer.

 

im still down...i wanna see zelya RL so i can feel

 

Hey, Chi-town, I'm out there!

As for the members who've abandoned ship... I got my RL used. For every seller, there's been a buyer, right? Surely we haven't had that many totals yet.

 

Quick question off subject... A-Spec suspension - what does it offer and what is the average price of upgrading (parts plus labor = $$$?)... Thanks bud!

 

How many RL did Acura move last year? 1000? 1,500?

 

2010 finished the year with 2.037 units sold, for approximately 44,200 sold since introduced in 2005...this is US sales based on Honda numbers...44200 is approximate because they did not distinguish between 1G and 2G RL sales in 2004 and 2005

 

I always wanted to take my S2000 for that drive but never got a chance to since I picked track days and ax over driving hundreds of mile but it seems like it would be a lot of fun and I am sure I can get family involved as a "vacation trip" and end up on the dragon

I know it's hard to see a lot of people mod RL because cars are rare, ricers don't buy them because there are no ebay parts for this car and the list goes on. I'd love to do the dragon in my RL. I am also tempted to at least ax it once to see how SH-AWD works

 

To RL015, the most affordable way to add the A-Spec suspension is to go through eBay. There's an Acura dealer that sells it, fully warranteed, for $590. Then get bids locally on installation from either the local dealer or an independent garage you trust.

Labor varies wildly from one Acura dealer to another, BTW. My local garage charged me about $300. A local dealer wanted to hit me almost twice that.
