What performance parts do RL owners REALLY want?

GrumpySteelMan · 05-11-08, 01:48 AM

I really want to know, what do RL owners REALLY want? I mean that as in zero BS, I'd buy EVERYTHING on my list in less than three months time, didn't have to wait for a group buy, had a clear idea as to what I'd be getting, etc.

Make sure to include what you already have.

I encourage everybody to list their own ideas. Obviously the person who says 'turbo kit' or 'supercharger kit' has to be a well-heeled individual with at least one spare car...so spare us.

Obviously we have suspension choices from reasonable to outta sight...so lets try to stay performance oriented.

I would like to see:

ECU Chip (or a dev pack and a romulator)
Quiet, Stylish Catback

aside from what you said....probably just a shift kit. Most everything else is available, though it cost a grip.

EDIT:

no no, i know something. More powerful Ignition Coils. i don't know if that HKS ignition amplifier really works or not, but it would be nice to have something to bolster the standard coils.

a decent CAI.

and for exhaust I remember someone here showed me a remus sport one that was 480$

Ask about the SMG Intake for TCS Legends. they're available from Thai

definitely ecu chip, & a better designed set of headers with included y pipe than the current one from obx, although for the price i'd still roll with obx for now. and lastly, vtec fluid.

you know what we need? some C-pro from Hondata.

make our redline 8K and have Vtec from 3.

I don't typically jump all over people, but are you only pretending to be stupid??? I mean seriously are you ignoring the information i give you simply because you don't want to read 3 sentences?

dude, just to let you know, None of the RL's before the 2005 G4 have VTEC.

from here:
Turbo Kit for V6 please help

Not only that, I told you RLs before 2005 don't have VTEC

From Here:
Supercharging a 97 rl (legnd here in oz)

and Now you do it again?!

I guess it's time for you to get that RSX Type S you want so bad because you're officially off the radar as far as a knowledgeable source of information concerning power enhancements. This isn't an off the shelf car, we're home brewed here, and to be able to stay afloat with DIY performance, you have to know the basics.

Ummm..... we don't have vtec..

Hmm, I would like a throttle body upgrade...

A very good throttle body upgrade can be found at Maxbore.com throttle body boring service for around $110.

The Remus exhaust goes for just over $700 at Legend

*hnic* · 05-20-08, 11:51 AM

I'd like a chip.

Faticus · 06-11-08, 05:16 PM

Uh, how bout anything with a decent horsepower:$ ratio w/o compromising the integrity of electrical components and longevity of the car!

Don't need retarded crap like a 100 shot of NOS or the remus exhaust ($700= 1-2 hp gain and a lil sound, WOW I'll take 4).

Peace MattyB!
