After 9 years the CL is gone.

Traded her in for an 05 Altima SE-R

I had a really hard time letting the CL go, but the tranny was dying a slow death.

Pics of the SE-R






All forums suck in comparison to AZ, so I'll be around for a while.

From the title I thought it was another accident...
I love my CL and all but I wouldn't feel bad at all to trade it in for that!
Nice Altima SE-R. Sat in one not too long ago. My friend's dad just got one a couple of weeks ago.

the engine and performance on those is nice for sure. too bad they look almost like the other altimas cept for that se-r badge and some wheels. have fun with the VQ35 though, they're good engines.

Im in the Ofallon/St. Charles area.
I had it narrowed down to this and an 05-06 maxima SL, but the aggressive engine and exhaust had me. The whole time i was driving the maxima i was thinking of the se-r.

I think the smoked heads and tails, exhaust, side skirts, mpg-oil-voltage gauges are all on the SE-R only. The engine is the same as the 3.5 SE and SL except theyre tuned for 265 or 260hp instead of 250. Oh and the calipers have the SE-R on them. So far those are the only diff i know of.

Well I've been on this site for like 2 years and have never posted pics. Mostly due to the fact that it was stock. It was a white 97 4x4, but I loved her.

My wife (wow that sounds weird, just got married last week) made fun of me cuz as I was leaving the dealership I stopped and starred at the CL for like 5 minutes kinda weirded out that I wasn't going to see it again. The saddest part is that it will be auctioned off and sit in some ghetto buy here pay here lots. The engine only had 89,000 on it, brand new pads, timing belt, water pump, motor mounts, radiator, tranny mount, altinator (sp) Alpine deck, LED lighting, clear corners, brand new high and lows. Not sure if any of that makes up for the 189,000 original slushbox

lol ofcourse you'd defend yourself you went from acura to honda. That H22 makes up for all the "luxury" brand shit talking in my opinion, one of honda's best engines.

lol w/e. the CL is nothing more than a glorified accord with some plastic woodgrain and auto climate control. Acura just doesnt compare with Lexus, Infitinity. I'm not even gonna bother mentioning german brands.
