So, some of you might remember my panda cl, i sold it and it was totaled 3 weeks later.. -_- ..well i went thru a few cars and could not get over my CL, so i went on a hunt; and finally found one . 1999 2.3 CL, 5 Speed,black on black.
Have had it for 2 weeks today, So far have put in a Pioneer In-Dash, Kicker Subs, all new bushings ( sway bar;links;ball joints; changed a motor mount; (all oem btw). Ordered K-Sport GT springs, which should be going in tonight .
2.5F-2.25R. Have big plans for this car; Well I just wanted to tell you guys.
Ill post pics up later;

 

Welcome back

 

glad you got another CL...you cant escape the dark side.

 

Very nice! Glad ur back in a CL

 

i sometimes feel the same way about wanting another CL.

didnt even know that you sold it but good to see that you're back.

 

by the way; springs were going intoday; however as luck would have it, the rear lower strut bolts snapped; so tommorrow im tracking down new bushings since the bolt snapped dead in the middle with no way out... keep you posted

 

Comparison between stock and Ksport gt's . getting her started.

 

If thats a lift in your garage, I'm jealous of you. If I had a hydraulic lift at my house, I'd do stuff to any of my cars everyday, maybe even charge people who want to do something hourly. Lol. Anyways, did you lower the back already?

Yea right; I wish that was my house. I work at the acura dealership; so thats a lift in the shop. and no not lowered yet. I got to work this morning and ordered the bushings from a nearby dealer, should be here in the next couple hours. And will hopefully be dropped by 6ish, when im out of work.

 

That's a big garage, considering there's another acura on the lift about 20 feet away

 

I wish I had a lift in my garage, in-ground only though. I've gotten too used to them to go back to a diff type lol. Car def is coming along well, glad to see it. Makes me miss mine even more

 

oh man, I'm so jelly

black on black...5 speed...you got the best of all worlds.

Congrats man, welcome back to the fam

If I could/can find something like that locally for a good price, I'd gladly ditch mine

 

Lol!!!!!!!!!!

 

annnd this is the dillemma i faced after a long work day..



finally got it out, P I T A...



its goin innnn



annd only pic i have for now:


seems to have a little "saggy butt" , im sure its because the rear struts are blown, so now i debate between cutting a coil off front, or spending money on new struts, if coilovers are in the near future..hmm..

 

Probably nice returning to a familiar car, eh? Exterior looks clean. Not wasting anytime with mods I see. Straight Business.

As far as the strut situation, I would replace the blown ones and get coils when you can. You could even sell off the struts at that time, to get some cash back. I would stray away from cutting... that's me though.

 

looking for some kyb's as i type this..lol

 

There's a guy down the road from me that has a lift in his garage, and is always working on audi's, I am tempted to pull in and ask him if he'll rent me his garage for a night so that I can torque all my suspension bolts down to the right torque. Really would hate to have to pay someone to do that since I don't have a lift

 

hey, no harm in asking. i'd help out; but im in mass. -_-

 

DO NOT waste ur time cutting coils, do it right and replace the shocks which as previously mentioned, you can sell later once you get coilovers. noone wants to buy cut springs to be bouncing around like a lowrider everywhere.

 

could have told you that with the LCA bolt. a very notorious honda problem.

 

yes; i decided to go oem struts, as the fronts are also. and wont run me but about $20 more than KYB's. .will order tommorrow along with new oem 02 sensor (damn check engine)..tints next week,system is in..stay tuned.

 

Looks clean!

 

i am allways tempted to paint my car black. but i love then white. car looks clean dude

 

thanks guys; yea its not in too bad of shape for a 99 , needs bumpers and a good paint job though; the passenger side looks kinda blotchy and wavy up close.. not cool. but ill do body work at the end of the month, right now, suspension and reliability matters most. gonna do full tune up this week. if anyone needs a diy for that let me know, although most of you probably know how to do a simple tune up.

 

Epic Fail; didn't have the same motivation for this car as the last.. car was sold saturday..and the hunt continues..

 

 

yea man....idk..

 

Nice man :-), glad u came back to the roots.

 

sweet!

 

You can say that again...lol

 

;FML...currently looking into a 05-6 accord v6 6 speed..maybe it will fill the void in my heart

 

Hokay! SO: After a couple of weeks without a car; and debating what to get; between a e46 m3,7th gen accord,or 3G TL..i think i decided on the TL. The m3 would be fun but a lot of upkeep,for some reason the H on the honda steering wheel makes me angry sometimes(I miss the "A") and the TL- well they're easy to find. come 6 speed,some navi. easy to mod and have many aftermarket parts..actually might pick one up this weekend..ill keep you guys posted?

 

I'm def a fan of the 3G TL's, hope you find a nice one

 

i FOUND ONE!!!! lol . 2004 NBP, 6MT,with navi and bluetooth.

 

pics bro....

 

08 conversion.

 

VERY nice...looks like ur gona be frequently the TL section more now...

 

i've already started to lurk!
