Thank you. I keep trying to justify getting rid of it and starting something else. But there isn't a car I would rather drive. Well the S2000 but that'll be next year.
car looks AWESOME! Stock headlights look wayyyyy BETTER!
I agree man. I wish I would've never changed them in th first place. Although I still have the retrofits I think I'll keep them and try to retrofit a set of RLX jewel eyes in them......eventually.
I have the 18x8.5 A-spec TL wheels and the difference between the two is incredible. These are so much lighter and I can tell in corning and acceleration.
is yours manual? I hope so. It's a blast to drive and the stock pulley (3.5psi) will be fine the stock clutch. I haven't seen many s/c times, but probably mid to low 13s depending on launch.
looking to put a sc in my 03 ... how does it pull ??? what clutch are you running ? and what the 1/4 time?
Never ran a 1/4 mile but I'm on the stock clutch and it pulls and pulls. 3rd gear is really impressive. You'll be more than satisfied. It's really changed the car when you step on it but retains the easy driving when you're not pushing it.

The launch is tricky. I guess once you get to the top of second and into third you're really moving a lot faster than a standard CL.
Got my wheels mounted today. The wheels are bronze TSW Nurburgring 18x8.5. I didn't get a chance the weigh the wheels themselves. After the tires were mounted two weighed 38.4 pounds and two weighed 38.8 pounds.
Started rebuilding my calipers as well. The piston boots were all ripped so why not take a couples hours and rebuild them before I put them on the car.
just wanted to know if those caliper are the same as the 08-tl type s I know they have brambo brakes
Finished painting the brake calipers today. The gold ACURA lettering is really close to the color of the wheels so I'm happy about that. They came out decently. I probably should've taken more time with prep but they are good enough that I won't do them over.
yes you need the bracket for the RL calipers which you can get from a few places. The 3rd gen TL brembos don't fit and they don't make a bracket for those. (unless you swap knuckles and other things) Also the RL calipers require new pads and rotors and looking at your rims - I'm guessing they're 18x7.5 +48 - they won't clear. I don't even think they're clear my rpf1 and they're 18x8 +35.
You don't need to build the motor. Just up the boost, add some cooling and tune it if you want more power.
Ok I'll start looking for the brembo conversation kit
I am already waiting on my high boost pulley and adding my front mount intercooler I'm also thinking about upgrade fuel injectors to 550cc and swapping out my my intake manifold with a 3.7L intake.then off to a tuning
the brembo kit is discontinued I believe. any BBK you'll need spacers for your particular rims by the looks of it. The RL option is the best looking and cheapest option. You could also use the Legend calipers or NSX calipers which are not a BBK but they are 2 piston calipers and they will clear any rims.
Yeah they are the RL calipers. I got the adapter to install the brakes from fastbrakes.com. Gnuts told you already but your rims have to be a certain offset to fir the calipers. I think the offset depends on the rims though so it's tricky.
