    SO rad!!! Im really digging the RL!

    The cup holders are incredible!!!
  • ChaifeChaife Instagram grand master
    Thanks dude, It's been fun so far. My family and friends have really come to enjoy the car.
    Lately it's the topic of conversation. I ordered some more pieces that should look pretty cool.
    Swapped the reverse light bulbs for LED. When backing up, I found there was limited visibility because of light.

    Glad to see you guys, sorry I didn't get to say bye though. Now you need to make the RL sit like that rear shot. ;)
  • ChaifeChaife Instagram grand master
    Yeah dude! We had a blast. Glad to see everyone out there.
    Scooter games.
    Helping a friend redo this 1985 HONDA Gyro-S
    This thing is amazing.. 2 stroke-50cc, 2-speed automatic transmission, 3 wheels
    Did the motor and carb first.
    New Honda Spree piston swap.
    New everything, seals, plug, machine work. Needs a new jet. Many New plastics.
    Most comfortable scooter of all time. Rides like a cloud.

    Did a Timing belt and water pump on the girlfriend's 04 Civic. I love this thing.. Real nice Civic. It now has 170,000 on it.

    I also did this for a friend. Jeep Wrangler wheels on a CRV.

    And helped my mother find this '97 Acura RL to purchase. Quite the step up for her.. Her previous vehicle was a janky '05 Hemi Dodge Magnum RT. Boy was that thing a piece of junk...

    Picked up a couple nails on the interstate last week.

    For both RL's;
    Differential lube changed
    ATF changed
    Motor oil changed
    New steering rack bushings

    Also been collecting a bunch of audio equipment lately and installed this into my RL. Kicker PT250 powered sub.
    Allows me to keep my factory head unit. I love it. Perfect tones as an addition to the Bose factory system.
    311.jpg

    I chopped all the old rusty wiped out sway bar links to install new ones. Rides far more solid now.. Less like a sailboat swaying in the breeze..
    312.jpg

    Honda's new DW-1 ATF found it's way into both of the RL's... Huge difference with shifting points and overall smoothness. Amazing change really..

    Been playing with the RL some more lately.
    New seat back clips because many of mine were broken.
    New rear mudflaps. I had a spare set of Del Sol flaps that I retrofitted.
    New black Gator inserts for the Jaguar cup holders/ trays.
    New bass controller for the subwoofer installed. Now I can turn the bass off whenever I don't feel like listening to it. Cool feature I think.

    New Upper Control Arm installed on the RL.
    New UCA Bushings
    New UCA Balljoints
    This thing feels flat out amazing now. It's soooo quiet. I'd venture to say that this is very near how it felt the day it was new.
    I've nearly replaced everything up front at this point.
    I'm cheezin' like a little kid right now...

    I haven't been around to share in a while.
    I bought a Turbo GSR 3rd Gen. hatch. Tons of trick parts. Hoping to roll across the dyno soon.

    Hey all, wish I had more time to update anymore.
    I bought some more cars, this 2wd 3G wagovan.

    I also lucked up on a clean little virgin 1G CRX Si with only about 100,000 miles on it

    These projects have occupied most my time lately though.
    I've been spending the winter building a pair of vintage Blue Ridge Dirt Race Cars
    A 1930's Ford Sedan & a '56 Chevy Bel Air, almost finished with each.
