Pretty sure it's all plug and play then. There's going to be some rewiring of the chassis harness I think, especially of you want clutch saftey switch, reverse lockout, etc. But that stuff isnt hard at all
I like these taillights a lot actually. Keeps the OEM aesthetic but modernizes it quite a bit. Especially since there's so many taillight options for this chassis that don't look great. Besides this set and the Intec taillights, I prefer the stock tails.
What motor do you have? F23 or J30? I did my J32 6 speed swap last year and it's pretty much plug and play, minus rewiring one connector for the ecu if you have a Acura CL donor car.
Yeah haha I'm super against putting a headunit in the TLS. I missed my CD player in the Accord a lot turns out. I think Crutchfield does offer a harness to retain steering wheel controls for the headunit, but I opted against buying it at the time because the RSX steering wheel I swapped in...
That can easily fixed if you swap in an headunit lol. I have a backup cam that goes to my headunit but it didn't have android auto compatibility...which would be nice. I just don't drive the car enough to justify shelling out the 400+ to get an Android Auto headunit. The backup camera is super...
Haha I hate that pause when clutching, it'll definitely be gone for sure. The braided line will clean up some of the old line, but it will be a little longer in length since they make it a universal line. I highly recommend using a vacuum bleeder to help bleed that line completely. It may take a...
Happy to help! 17" wheels are the lowest you can go. I cleared them with 04-08 TL wheels (Base or Type S wheels). 17x8+45 are the OEM TL wheel specs that clear the RL calipers.
If you're running aftermarket wheels you'll need to make the there's enough backspacing from the hub to the caliper...
I don't know if you've had the check valve deleted on your CL or not, but HeelToe offers new OEM Slave cylinders with the Clutch delay check valve deleted. I love the way the clutch feels without it. I bought a new slave for the TLS since the clutch feels awful with the valve present.
What...
You'll need an adapter for the RL calipers. I recommend Fastbrakes kit since they include a hubcentric ring that goes on the hub for the rotor whereas other kits don't. You'll need the ring otherwise you'll be chasing steering wheel vibrations like I was since the 350Z rotor won't sit flush on...
Having a beater that's fun to whip around in almost made me not want to do the swap. I don't blame you for taking your time. If I had the money I'd have considered J35A4/6-speed swapping the Accord and keeping the CL but found the TL-S instead.
A stock body FRS looks so good, you don't need for a kit for it like you might for a CG. These are aging very nicely.....shit it's been a decade already. It's kinda sad to see everyone chopping these up to go widebody.
What happened to your fender?:superhack:
Any idea what axles you're going to swap out to? I was considering Insane (mixed reviews) or Raxles, but their quote came out to be too much since they wouldn't accept my cores. I ended up buying brand new OEM axles (that hurt the wallet).
I love the TEs. 16s with the meaty tire and with a nice drop completely transforms these cars. I'd run a 5-10mm spacer to get the wheels flush but damn does it look fresh. I still have to do the rear suspension refresh for my Accord. I got tired of wrenching on the car for almsot 3 months doing...
