1 year Feedback
It is one year after owning my car this is my feedback:
Eye Candy?
I still love the car and is not even close to boredom with the vehicle yet. After all the mods, the car looks 10x better, faster and more of a neck breaker.
Problems?
No serious problems with the car that drove me crazy. I had one issue, where the differential kept leaking. The car had to have the tranny replaced
Warranty FTW. Besides that, nothing else. Car runs like a champ.
Specs:
290HP 260lbs TQ V6
After Mods:
Approximetly:
315 HP 270lbs TQ V6 N/A
After 75shot.
Should be at 400HP unsure of TQ
I will definelty give you guys a good dyno video... Crossing fingers for 300 AWHP.
Performance in the street
Car still needs some get up and go. The car does pull very hard at higher speeds. I am able to pull away slowly from
M35X
530xi
Acura TL
These are the cars that usually run up against me in all weather conditions.
Track?
After N20 do you think the RL could run under 13.8 in the quarter mile?
SH-AWD necessary?
very intelligent way of distributing powers to all the wheels. Love the handling. For this car it would have been necessary, because on slight turns, the car begins to haul ass.

seriously, why are you trying to get all this speed out of an RL? it's not what the car was built for, and no matter what you do to it, it's not cut out to be a drag racer, or track monster. it's a luxury cruiser with decent handling.

it is just the mod bug bitting me every month
and I want some boost....
I am just trying to be very creative with the car.
There are alot of luxo cruisers with alot of speed, but not built for speed.
track monster=13.9 I highly doubt that lol
now if i was trying to get the vehicle into the 11s then that would be OD, but 1 second faster is not going to make it into a track beast
and maybeeeeeeee because we are 17 years part

Acura RL = Nice car 
Acura RL + A-Spec = Even nicer car
A-Spec Acura RL + Tinted tails, $12 Quad Tips, and cheap looking wheels = Very low class, "cheap looking" car.
The RL, IMO, is an upscale, classy car. However, you've managed to strip every ounce of class from the car. But hey, if that's the look you're going for

Listen, we had this conversation last week about your asshole posts. Do you ever have anything nice to say? I swear to you I cannot believe that everything you post is negative. Why do you even bother coming on azine?

i really dont care what you think of Blazin's RL and im sure with the reputation you have he doesnt care either.
I just want to tell you that I really feel bad for you. I cannot imagine what in your life would make you such an unhappy person. I swear to you every post I have ever read by you is negative. Even Ron A said you were on thin ice last week in the BM for calling a new person a moron.
Ive told you this before and Ill say it again. This is a car forum, we are all here because we share similar interests. Im assuming you like cars correct? If you do why are you always being so negative? If you like Acuras then azine should be a happy place for you.
Do you not care that you have this awful reputation here? Like I told you last week, id love to meet you sometime to see what you are like in person. I really cannot imagine anyone being so unhappy and negative all the time.

well said. carrie but nut heads like this guy. are always unhappy...
like this guy i know, sexually in capable. zues loves swindling...
but more seriously dude asans... man we all come to this thread to share our love for acura's even those who don't have acura's come here to enjoy the scene. but you just love talking about others and it gets to a point that its annoying and just playing dumb. i wish i was in New York and met you. i think you are just chemically embalanced for dumb comments. if Ron A already warned you but you still want to post negative comments. then you are slow.

You do realize that I am just giving an honest opinion of what I think of a car right? If he doesn't like my opinion, that's fine. If he came in to my thread and made some comments about what he doesnt like about my car, then that is also fine. I have absolutely no problem with that. Everyone is entitled to their honest opinion, I think you need to realize that, Carrie. Yes, I may come off a bit harsh to some, but that is just my personality. If you don't like it, so what? I think you need to stop taking things so damn personally on a damn car forum.
Speaking of which, why are you making these personal attacks on me?? Ive never said one word to you, about you, or about your car. And yet you feel the need to say you "feel bad for me"??? Talking about how you think my life is so horrible that it makes me this unhappy...??? LMAO Are you serious Carrie? C'mon now, I think you need to take it down a notch. You have absolutely no idea who I am, what I do, or what my life is like; because if you did, Carrie, you most certainly would not being saying such things. So, I think you need to stop, before you push it too far.
Like you said, this is a car forum. PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO THEIR OPINIONS, no matter what they may be. If you cannot take it, don't post. Simple as that. And please do not bring up Ron A again, what happened with him and I is strictly between him and I. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with the posts I make.
Oh yeah, I may come to that CT meet this Sunday or whenever it is. And trust me Carrie, the SECOND you see me I guarantee your opinion of me will change
Seriously? Did you really just go off like that?

and personal attack? NO not at all. I really just cant believe that everything you post is so negative, I told you that last week. And I did not go off on you at all, trust me. I didnt swear at you or call you names or anything like that, not my style.
I understand you have an opinion and I respect that but i just dont understand why you are always so negative.
Anyway, idc, its over, maybe ill see you sunday and I can ask you in person why you are always being so mean.

i've always thought the RL was such a beautiful platform.
i look forward to see where you take it.
one point of criticism would be the tails.. I love how you left the clear at the bottom ,very smart, but for some reason it still reminds me of a scion TC. its all preference tho, as i dont like tinted tails on any car.

next on the list is getting these coilovers. The Teins are so much money.
The H&Rs are a good price, but i cannot find them anywhere.
and i will also add some spacers. going for a more aggressive stance.
