DAMN I thought you were about to hit the wall at 48 seconds!

 

Car looks sexy as hell in that video man

 

 

Photography by 037 - in case someone forgot to mention it








--I need to get some watermarks...

 

oh yeah, the stock tire size for a TL is 235, I have no idea why you're running 225's.

 

no more aqua..

 

So what next next on rims for this year?

 

Rims are a secret

 

Get the Continental DWS tires. At least traction won't be a secret and you can actually use the car in the winter

 

what happened to your car? why are u repainting it?

 

looks like the fender, at least

 

I had a big chip in the fender. So i finally got it painted along with my front bumper that was eaten up because of NYC drivers.

So...like the saying goes...its always one thing after the next.

I left the city at 12:30PM and did not get home till now.

Why?

I was driving and the car started to loose power. Took it to a 24hr gas station and guess what? The alternator is low. I need to buy a new one.

 

That sucks Blazing. Hope you take care of that altanator.

 

already taken care of!


thankx!!

 

pics look good

 

What happened to those wheels? I liked this setup the best

 

he already destroyed old wheels, new wheels

 

yes new wheels are a secret

thanks eyi (flyrl) haha...

I loved those rims I used to have...but now I dont know if the rims I am getting will look hotter on the car lol since you pulled out that pic haha

 

Yo bro that car looks sick wit it!!!

 

So now we're keeping secrets, huh!

 

I recently purchased an 07 RL and Blazing GT and 037's rides make me want to mod mine. My vehicle is Black with Ivory interior. I think the first mod will be tint. Any other inexpensive mods you can recommend?

 

Debadge, LEDs and HID fogs

Shawn secrets are meant to be told!

 

The list goes on and on JRock. Welcome to Acurazine. Seeing that tint can run you 200+, what do you consider inexpensive? After that, what mods suit you, performance or appearance? However, we shouldn't hijack Blazing's thread here; start your own and you will get plenty of ideas from people.

 

man Blazing... I swear... your car looks really good on those 17" wheels...

what did you pay for those wheels and what did it cost to get them redrilled? when you say they redrill them.. are the holes all opened up, do they plug them with something and drill all over? do they look weird if you get down and look at the hub area up close? or do they look like an OEM fit?

what exact tire size are you running ? and is it a lower profile than the stock 17" wheels on the RL??? they look great honestly.. i mean.. 18s or 19swould look better...but those wheels look so much better than the plain old 17" wheels Acura put on the RL....

your car, with the drop, and the 17s looks nice...very nice... of course the aspec kit helps..

if I bought rims...i almost wouldn't mind to run a set of those... if I could use my tires on my cu rrent wheels?? let me nkow sizes on thowse wheels... looks nice.

is the offset on the TL wheels the same as the RL wheels?? fitment was ok? no rubbing on calipers in front???

 

those are stock 17's on stock wheels. If you scroll up above, you can see that there's only 5 holes in those wheels. RJ did a good job re-drilling them to fit the RL.

 

wheel shopping had begun. I bought a set of these rims and unfortunately they did not clear the caliper. I ran 9.5 up in the front and it was just knocking the caliper.

Have to get another set of rims now.

My friend decided to buy them from me and put it on his car because he liked the way it looked. Nice rims tho

 

think this will fit

What size were the wheels you bought but had t sell? You going back to big wheels or staying with 17 or 18s? I thing your car looked fine with those tl 17s! What size sidewalks were on those tl wheels? 50 series?

Good luck with wheel hunting!

 

I think the side wall is 35....The wheels I had end up getting was 19in rims

 

thats what you get for keeping the rims a secret punk...

buy new wheels now...

 

You get my PM?

 

Little Update:

Hello to all of my Acura buddies. I have not post in this journal since I have gotten rid of Lia. As most of you know I had the BMW 535xi after the Acura and about 8-9 months later I could not see my self driving the car anymore. It felt like a change that was not felt.

Currently I am in a Range Rover Sport.



This is the order in which i would have choosen these vehicles to my likeness

1. Range Rover Sport
2. Acura RL
3. BMW 535XI
4. Acura TL

Hopefully next time i post in here I will be in an Acura

 

Nice to see you Shawn. Congrats on the Range!

 

So flossy... Congrats.

 

nice ride!!!

 

Sweet ride, man. I remember you writing a comparo with the RL vs the Bimmer when you sold Lia, but what exactly felt wrong with the Bimmer?

Besides the fear of a HPFP detonation at speed on the highway?

 

hey blazing,

on those 17in 04-06 OEM TL wheels, did you need a spacer to clear the front bbk after you redrilled them to 5x120. i might do the same.

thanks in advance

 

Also, what size tires did you run?

 

I cannot remember the tire size that was ran but I did not need a spacer for the wheels after they were redrilled.

Nothing was wrong with the BMW.

Infact the RL was so underrated and the BMW was so overrated that when i spent more money to get the BMW it felt like a waste because in my eye the RL was just as good.

 

Nice RR. You have good taste in cars, young man.

Still love your RL.
