Good Bye CL

So today was a sad and joyful day. I traded my 2.2 CL. It was sad to see her go but i got an amazing deal in return.
95 Prelude SR-V w/ 122000Kms
AEM CAI
DC 421 Header
2 inch drop
17 inch wheels
Performance Clutch
VACF II
Never Winter Driven, One Owner Car

it needs just new brake pads in the front, a headlight bulb and some minor TLC
It's one hell of a car, and im really happy

first couple of things i would do is, take off the chrome lining, and paint the front white vents to black or even color match.

the headlights i like a lot, the inlets dont bother me much either. the chrome is :ghey: plus theres rust underneath and paint chips for the previous owner rolling the fenders, thats my project number 1, rust repairs/prevention. also hunting for winter wheels, which a bitch cuz its so low i dunno if it even fit winter tires

i signed up at hondatech but that forum looks really unfriendly, not like 1gen acurazine
they dont even like "im new" threads

well like i wrote above, the previous owner rolled the fenders, crack the paint.
the rear fenders have rust spots, fronts have bare metal. theres also some rust spot on the hood. so i need to fix that.
then theres a small oil leak, i think from the valve cover gasket. that needs to be changed.
power locks are acting up, need to check the fuses/mechanism
the hood strut mount is broken and so is the clip that holds it when you close the hood. also the pass side mirror is cracked.

i think thats it.
