This was great, I laughed out loud at this, it really captures the struggle caused by the ridiculous captive rotor design in a funny and informative way. I'm so glad I have a 2.3CL...
I put up with warped rotors for a few years, because I knew this was going to be a problem. Finally went to a local shop and had them do it. I don't think he fully realized what he was in for when he quoted me.
Dude you guys are f’n hilarious. I just TODAY bought an 800$ 97 CL. It needs brakes, I’m already hating life. Saving grace is it wasn’t driven in the “field” Pacific NW car so no salt too.
@@ErikSeastead ok so I just ran the vin. Seller said 97, vin says it’s 98. The first (thank god) year they dropped the captive rotor situation. I was thinking about lighting a match on it

We have several other videos on this Acura, feel free to check them out! They're very cool cars and for the price they're honestly great.

Haha yeah you can do a 98 hub swap on the 97s, but they're hard to find nowadays.
holy fuck thanks acura for this design
