New Member - New to Acura/Honda

Hi everyone i'm new to the forum and a first time Acura/Honda owner. I just picked up my first Acura.... a 98 3.5RL with around 200,000 miles on it. I bought this as a hobby project to tinker on. Took her for a ride and for the 300$ price tag i just had to take it home!

The car overall is in great shape.... looks great in and out (besides the hack job black paint on the rims). Suspension, steering, bushings, brakes etc all feel sooooo smooth and tight thats what sold me on it. The engine fires right up and the transmission shifts nice and smooth although its ready and is going to receive the full tune up special. I paid 300$ for it but i expect to sink another 300-400$ into it. Check engine light is on for a 02 sensor, Radiator is starting to go at the seams, squealing belt and the trans fluid/filter along with oil is all going to get changed before i start using this as a driver. As i believe this is a interference motor and high mileage i might just change the timing belt and water pump too!
