I plan to go different route than I normally would. I needed a new DD since my last DD got overwhelmed. The hatch got too low and with all the construction out by my house now, I'm taking additional 15min detours to get everywhere...

So I got a call from my uncle about the RL that he has. It was hit on the driver's side and needs a new upper ball joint, fender, and headlight. Got 2 small issues besides that, but a full detail and a little PDR and she will turn out great.
I picked it up yesterday I won't make any performance changes except for maybe small stuff, intake and such, but otherwise I will get a set of wheels, lip kit, and a DECENT drop, not slammed.

This is what I would like for it to eventually be. And yes, the car is Black with Black leather interior. :bouncy:

It should be fun to try something different for once.

Ok, so over the past few weeks I've been collecting more and more pieces to get this car moving... literally.
  • New battery helped out a lot.
  • New driver's side brake caliper comes tomorrow
  • New driver's side rotor comes tomorrow
  • New driver's side fender
  • New driver's side upper fork
  • New driver's side JDM headlight for the driver's side... Great little Christmas gift, a PAIR would have looked better though. lol
  • Got the tires mounted on the TL wheels
  • Oil change since my uncle didn't stay on top of that
  • Automatic transmission flush
  • Fog lights are working
  • Swapped out the coil packs for the new ones
  • Needs to have the EGR valve cleaned or replaced
  • Needs a new hood
  • Needs the driver's side fender painted black and a lot of PDR work
  • Needs a new primary 02 sensor

Obviously it needs a bit of a drop. Working on that currently... considering the only setup built for this model RL is the JIC coil overs which are $2,000 without shipping from Japan.

Looking into using 96-98 Legend forks and then then TL suspension should work for me as well... We'll see what i decide to use here in a few months.
