Check out bagriders.com & you'll find all parts you need if you dont wanna break the bank.
Let me know who these 3 ppl are and did they get it fixed? I've seen one truck with a small leak in the valve and 1 TL with blown front air bag. The TL was riding with frame on the ground and took a full 90 degree turn

I got that family discount. If I don't sell the car next week. The tl is getting a makeover.

If I do sell it, found a used 07 RL that I can put the bags on.
Sorry justin, this is a pretty good deal. If I pass I'll share that deal on the rl

Actually u can find a high mileage for 15-20k depends on condition...

Buy a high mileage one for 15 for instance... Beat up but still runs fine.... It has 120k on the odometer... Spend the 5k get the car repainted and reupholstered... Bam clean NSX... That would be my weekend car... My sc would be my daily

It comes with a ct s/c off of a CL-S. I'm tempted to take on this project and show some video and dyno number.

^this, with aspec and force induction

Ambiguous626's RL Exhaust Test - YouTube
^this, with aspec and force induction

I would never mess with a ct supercharger...
it just sux..
if i do pick up an RL, I'm turbo'ing it.
and with all wheel drive, it'll be a beast with 450-500 hp

then manual swap it with the 3.7 SHAWD TL.

Sounds expensive. Why not just pick up an e60 m5? It has a V10 and a 6spd manual.

that project would end up being more expensive due to maintenance and cost of parts.


$3-5K for RL.
$6K for Turbo.

and Honda reliability, son.

LOL, for once I didn't complain about wanting to drive today. Drove a Porsche Cayenne Turbo, my buddy's Mercedes Benz ML 63 AMG, and rode with him in his buddy's Audi R8.

LOL, this ct s/c setup is probably one of the easiest FI kit for dd that I picked up.
I've seen some complaints but never really read the full thread. can you tell me why it sux so bad so I know not to mess with ct s/c in the future. prolly didnt get the memo.

got mine used at a good price. added 60whp like advertised. 8hr setup and mashing the pedal that same day. had it for one year and dd with over 15k miles city/hwy. car still screaming down the hwy everyday.
