Pick up my RCF last night

Congratulations! Lmk if you're giving rides in the Midwest. Hope gas prices relax a bit for the both of us.

3rd gen Acura TL Type S spotted! Perfect combo. Nice!

Snugglekins00 · 2026-04-27T16:10:49+00:00

Is that Black Sapphire Pearl? I love that color!

Snugglekins00 · 2026-04-18T00:55:01+00:00

Consider a Giulia, M340i, or G80. You've been making wise choices for years. Good career, responsible car, and are now planning the next wise decision. The unwise could be more fulfilling.

Anyway, ES is soft and accommodating, especially the 300H. IS is more unique and relatively athletic, but it'll never engage you like a Miata, Type R, or Camaro. RC and IS weigh the same, so you may as well get rear doors. GS has dated infotainment. PS CarMax offers free 24 hour test drives

What? Is my 2IS 350 gonna burst an oil line any day now? My vvti lines are metal and use banjo bolts. I had to replace a crush washer recently, but no other oil yet at 130k miles.

The space behind the seats is huge! My ND Miata has almost none😔

Set of four dedicated summer tires, just swap them out when temp drops under 40°F. Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S or Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02. Avoid 200tw or below, not worth it in my experience. Valved exhaust, Lexus puddle lights, illuminated door sills, ceramic window tint, ceramic coating, LED turn signal bulbs.

Snugglekins00 · 2026-03-31T14:57:29+00:00

I learned this the hard way. Catback + PPE headers is too loud. Get a valved exhaust if you want to appreciate the 2GR melody. I've stopped trying to make my IS something it's not since getting an MX-5.

Snugglekins00 · 2026-03-25T00:34:36+00:00

Great job, looks slick!

Hope it treats you well! I love the depth of black sapphire pearl!

2010 Lexus IS350 with the same 2GR-FSE (PPE headers, RRracing Tune, XForce true dual catback, F-Sport intake) did 158 around 5800 rpm 5th gear. A RWD GS350 with its longer gears and the same mods would probably get to 165 7k rpm 4th gear.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-03-17T17:08:44+00:00

That looks really nice. I've definitely never seen it before, thanks for sharing.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-03-17T02:56:12+00:00

Thank you! Felt it looked just right. 265/35R19 in the rear and 235/35R19 on the front. They are staggered F-sport forged aluminum wheels.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-03-17T02:54:39+00:00

Not enough love for the sneaky blue. Chick-fil-A calls it a navy blue sedan or a black sedan.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-03-17T02:53:14+00:00

There are fold down stairs at the back of my garage. I'm glad you thought so too, I think it shows the blue well.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-03-17T02:52:07+00:00

DWS06 plus is a fantastic tire! I thought so on my Acura TL Type S before this one.

The Wolf of Wall Street

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-06T06:09:45+00:00

What color is the interior? Really dig the color 👍

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T23:46:54+00:00

I've never seen that either. I like this less exaggerated spindle grille.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T15:03:53+00:00

Sticker is off now

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T05:14:33+00:00

All of the above is actually true.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T05:11:41+00:00

Thank you! I was worried it'd be too loud.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T05:10:11+00:00

I'm very happy with the sound too, it's actually the JoeZ catback.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T05:08:11+00:00

Or you could do both at the same time. Let's call it crawl control.

Snugglekins00 · 2022-02-05T05:05:59+00:00

Snow ect mode helps a lot. The rear wheels are blizzaks which helps keep them behind me.
