In search of excitement
Can't wait to see you step to the next level. I struggle with selling and not selling as well, but at this point I am in it for the long haul, going to take steps to make the car much better and bring it up to date, and then if its not looking good I am going to find another one and swap everything over and eventually go 3.5, I want to see the car with 400 hp and then daily it while I work on other builds. I don't want to put too much money into it but I think I can stretch 10 grand for it in the next year or so.

we managed to fit 3 car seats in our Rav so i think i bought the CL some time! lol
I did buy the CL something recently. A solar trickle charger! The things i'd like to tackle next are the brakes and cat/midpipe. I'm inquiring into some NSX calipers which would leave money for exhaust. I also have to modify the icebox tubing to 4" (thanks Brian) and i have a 70mm TB i'm going to try and get working. I'm going on paternity leave in April so i can fiddle with the car at nap time!

We have 2 boys now, 2.75 and 0.75. We'll have a 3rd at some point.
I love the darker tones in that red! I also need some paint work on my kit, but I need to find a hookup around here.

Rawr.
That's awesome; congrats on the soon to be new addition!
Yeah, the color really pops in broad daylight. What makes it cool is that you can see the metallic in the paint; look like metal particles.
Still have work to do

Thanks! We've been driving the CL with the kids a lot lately, it's been fun. We were watching a friends kid and had two bucket car seats in the back, lol.
I've been looking into replacing the stereo with a tablet lately. The threads here show guys using the stock navi spot, but I thought about using the stereo spot. Anyone done this? Seems you'd need an amplifier to control sound.

thanks again Brian. I could be full of it, but it does feel a bit smoother and the revs seem quicker. It must flow a lot better than before.
I replaced my Outlaw gasket with a P2R one since it's thinner and the s/c parts line up better. I saw how nasty my runners looked and i think i'm going to pick up a spare set and gasket match (port) them along with the manifold. Looks like i could use an oil catch can too.
My exhaust has seen better days so i need to upgrade this year. I almost picked up an accord exhaust for cheap but i really want a 3" midpipe. i wish Morgan would sell some parts...

thanks! it's still a little loud for me and i think in the future i'll throw in another resonator. I'll get a picture soon. The piping is huge and it hangs pretty low at one point, but no scraping yet.

i'm acutally not sure what's on there now. The one i had brought wouldn't fit so they had this one in stock. It's a 4" round and about 18" long. It looks like a vibrant bottle style resonator.

I would recommend a Vibrant Ultra Quiet Resonator. That is what I am going with plus a Magnaflow muffler.
How big was the one you brought in? There is plenty of room down there, especially after I removed heat shields.

i had a 6 inch round 18" long magnaflow. They said it would hang way too low, but i'm not sure it would hang lower than the current low point which is a few feet before the Y split.
In the spring i'm going to see if there's room between the cat and the current resonator for a vibrant ultraquiet. I've heard good things about them.

My current setup is running a round 6" wide, 30" long magnaflow resonator. It does sit kind of low. I will post a pic in my build thread to give you an idea of ground clearance.

haha, seriously eh! I figured I'd get some in before our third child is due in July. Then you'll never hear from me again! lol
I have an eibach rear sway, moog links and ingalls rear kit to get on next.
