Picked up some used HKS Super Draggers and Cleaned the shit out of them






Of couse i had to be as cool as all the other kids and get comptech headers and them get them ceramic coated alomg with a XLR8 HFC





Got the UR underdrive pulleys installed





Did the 6 speed handbrake conversion along with the RSX Wheel



Installed the Tein SS



Did a RL BBK conversion






Installed a SPC F&R Camber kit



Molded the Rear bumper





Installed the Torque Damper and Neuspeed Strut Bar




Car got painted Glacier Frost Mica

Handbrake conversion is SO COOL !! Did you have to steal that from a manual car or did you buy that and do it yourself ? I would think re routing the handbrake would be quite hard.

thanks for all the kind words, i was going to do the non navi to navi but never did and just been too lazy to take the center console apart to take it out.

The handbreak parts were all purchased new and that empty spot for the seat heaters has been bugging me like crazy..

all the work was done by me (minus the paint job) but a good friend helped me alot with the bumpers

Just got done replacing all the studs on the car as well as the front ball joints and also installed some black Gorilla Lug Nuts.

Car is parked at a angle so the front is lifted up a bit in the pictures, enjoy









Just in case someone is wondering (because i was before i did the bbk upgrade) after using a 5mm Spacer in the front, this is the kinda gap you get for clearance.

The car came out really nice! How long did it take for you to do all of this stuff?

And how much was that paint job if you don't mind me asking?

Pretty cool man - love the mods and even cooler you did the work. I had bought an RSX steering wheel but the wheel never made it on to the car because I never got clarification about some wiring issue with the airbag. Did you have to do something special to get that combo to work on the 2001 because there's something different on 01 than 03...again all from my failing memory.

Nice to see someone actually mod a cl properly again. I like everything you've done. I don't think it needs to go lower, looks great to me.

Great work! I like what you've done. I wish my cl was as shiny lol. You got one of the nicest looking cl's on here. What's left to do? Seems like you covered almost everything. How hard was the hand brake install?

Very nice car. I only have reservations with the gas door and the wheels look like 2 different sets and the lip on the rear wheels makes them look an inch smaller than the front pair. Does anyone else see this? Eh... maybe it's just me. Loved looking at the diary of mod pics.
