Hello all my babies from the past!

It's been a little over a year since I've owned a CL & I've missed it here and there.

SO I'm back in the market for another one.

I'm looking at two later on today:

98 black 5speed & an 01 black Type S. I've been snooping in the 2nd gen forums & now I'm feeling spoiled and want to buy myself an 03 6speed instead :p

Anyhow, thought I'd see what I missed out in this past year..

WIsh me LUck!!!

 

Good luck.... Get the Type S...

Only problem is. The second gen guys are not as cool as the first gen guys...

 

6MT FTMFW

 

You damn right! lol


As for the cars, with the price of gas today i dont know if i'd get a 2nd gen. Although that 6spd is pretty sweet.

 

Darn, I wasn't even thinking about gas

I was picking up another CL for a daily.

Does it take premium?

I already have to put 93 in my civic.

 

yah, the CL-S takes premium.

 

the mileage on the 2nd gen is pretty damn sweet imho

 

i drive a 6speed the mileage isnt terrible around town stop and go ill get about 23 mpg on the highway cruising ill get low to mid 30's. it does take premium tho which nowadays is about 20-30 cents more per gallon

 

o ps..... go cl-s six speed. its a good call. and us second genners arent that bad guys

 

Uh huh..Sure....

 

He only has 23 posts, he hasnt been around long enough to know haha.

 

Wait, you are looking for a "daily driver" to keep your garage queen civic from seeing the roads in MD/VA? Am I the only one finding this strange?

 

shouldnt the civic be the better of the two on gas. And the civic wins the garage over the ack?!?!

 

I think the civic is heavily modded.

 

^^^ that would make sense.

 

not everyone over in second gen are complete dicks. There are more than in first tho'... I was a fellow first gen so I got nothin but repect for first gen. To the OP if your gonna go second gen 03 6MT is the only way to go, not worth gettin an auto CL-S to still worry about tranny issues.

 

I doubt it, i bet the civic is new, thats all.

 

I think her civic is heavily modded. For some reason i remember it being a civic hatch w/a swap and whatnot.

And considering that you dont need premium fuel, a 2.3 might be a good bet. I've taken the 300 mile trip to my college from NY to Penn State on a third of a tank, doing 80 the whole way. City driving was great too. But honestly if you can splurge for the premium gas 24/7, i'd go cl-s6. Def not auto tho.

 

welcome back. Yea... having a heavily modded civic has more of a chance gettin stolen than a newer car that is lightly modded if even at all. civics/tegs are still hot on the market due to all the parts that could be sold off them. Good luck finding a new car!

 

Nice to see you're still around jen

 

she gets updates when i speak to her once in awhile.

 

She does have a swapped civic hatch, it's a track car iirc

 

Good to know. I was worried bout mileage I filled up my civic today $44 FOR A CIVIC! haha darn these premium prices.

This... is true & when I had my 1st gen ack when I was in cali. I treated that like my red headed step child too That ack never saw the garage but I still showed it a lot of <3 <3 <3 &




My civic isn't new it's an old EG w/ a swap & $$ dumped into it. Too many 'lil kids' wanna come & rape her so I have to keep it stashed away.









This doesn't mean that I won't take care of the ack when I get it. I <3 alll my b!tchezZ

I went to see the 98 black ack. Def. a guy didn't even take care of it. & the lady who was trying to sell me the auto type S is a huge flake. I'll most def. be in the market for a 6speed as soon as I find one. <3

hI!!! Yeah I've been lurking here & there, but not having a CL anymore really doesn't give me motivation to post. You know? haha

<3 very true. I'm glad I got to see all those photo chops that made me lol'

 

& this is another thing, (thx for pointing it out btw). I was doing some major reading in the 2nd gen forum on the tranny issues. HOLY MOLY! I don't wanna go through that BS.

I'm in the process to moving (2 car garage home, yay!) I have to take the dreaded 66 route to work. The traffic in the morning is unbelievable, worse than LA! I really wanna be lazy & drive an automatic.

 

I'm looking to selling my CLS6...

In the near future (within the a month or three probably sooner)

Either way, I'm looking at something that has a bit more of a kick and I want a twin sister to whats sitting in the Garage right now...

 

Nice Civic...yeah, if you are from around here then you definately have to keep it stashed away. One of the main reasons I sold my prelude a few years ago. What part of VA did you move to? Hit me up over PM if you'd rather not post it here....

 

I saw that, freaking sick. how much did you get her for? the supra.

 

Supra ftw

 

$32k.. and I have another $4k in her right now in parts/upgrades...

Like the steering wheel, seat covers, HID's, Gas hood shocks, Avic-Z3, Suspension, and a slew of other things...

 

I just searched auto trader and found one for 42k but with only 3k miles. yes, 3,000 miles.

 

thats just not right...

You buy a car to drive it. Not look at it in the garage.

 

yeah, thats what im saying, but whatever? people are stupid. its a 1995 too. a lot of sitting.

 

I am so hating/jealous of you right now.. I LOVE the supra. I've actually been struggling between buying a supra & a CL. It just doesn't make sense to me to have 2 garage queens & not have a daily especially when I work in the city (horrible drivers, parkers misc). I've been in the position of having 3 cars & it was excessive.

Anyhow, PA isn't too far from Nova. I'd like to see pics of your cls6 & your selling price. 1-3 months is perfect. I'm still looking & in no rush. I have 2 cars here going on a third when the mini cooper comes in this week.

Thanks. I'm actually in the same county you're in.

 

I'm currently looking for a beater to keep up here for in the winter to drive since i can no longer drive my parents cars cause of my insurance. haha. i know its going to be hard trying to find one since i dont want to drive a beat, beater if you know what i mean.

 

Yeah i need a beater too. Dont wanna put excessive mileage on the CL with the new motor.

 

welcome back! nice valve cover on the hatch haha

 

Thanks! <3 I had to make the valve cover "my own" & "girly" thus... the result haha

SO, I guess I am leaving the CL family for now.

I picked up an 03 TLS last night. So, I get to be a spoiled auto driving bratt for a while. We'll see how much I like owning a 4 door, my first 4 door car in all the cars I've owned!

Heres a bad picture from my work parking lot with my crappy camera phone haha <3

 

BoOoOOoO auto tranny ftl! lol.

Congrats, enjoy it!

 

Nice pick up jen

 

Nice ride....see ya around.
