March 2011 COTM: Submission Thread
 
Submit your recommendations for March 2011 COTM here :thumbsup:

March 2011 COTM Submission Thread is now open for submissions.


Theme is:
Any ACURA

Considering the lack of involvement from the previous month, Im thinking that themes may not be a good selling point for this showcase. Im going to leave it open to all Acuras for a few months and may include a couple of free for alls to get more exposure on this.

Deadline for submissions will be routine, and it is the 15th of February. Then its 10 days of prelims and 3 days of final voting due to the short month. Get your submissions in now

Real Name: Morgan

Car Model: 2003 Acura CL Type-S 6MT

Wheels/Tires Modifications:
Currently:

Past:
-18x8" +48mm RJ Legend GT with 235/40 S.Drives
-19x8.5" +40mm RJ Devotions powdercoated black with 235/35 Kumho Ecsta SPTs

Interior/Exterior Modifications:
-S2000 titanium shift knob
-PSpec short throw shifter
-JL 13TW5-3 in uncald4s enclosure
-Alpine PDX1.600
-Red LED dashboard lighting
-2 12" CCFL bulbs in the trunk (BRIGHT!!)
-Clear spoiler brake light

Reason: Morgan has continued to test the capabilities of the 2G CL without using FI. It has plenty of power to boot yet looks somewhat understated and unsuspecting of the power it holds. I didn't nominate Morgan just because of the CL-S, but also because he's a huge asset to the Acurazine community, commonly helping diagnose Honda/Acura vehicle problems and offering insight to other members about modifying their vehicle. His car recently dynoed at 294hp and 275tq at the wheels without a tune. Don't expect him to be satisfied with that either, I'm sure he will continue to push the CL to it's limits.

Reason:
A beautiful representation of both the 3rd Gen TL and the RonJon design. Not only did this TL catch my attention searching through the garages on this forum, but I could not stop staring at it at Acurafest. Tastefully modded, not overdone, but done just right.
