Question Help me out?

I just went to a store trying to find an intake kit for my 97 2.2, but this is besides the point, I showed the clerk my engine and he seemed surprised by what he saw. He told me I was supposed to have an acura engine and apparently mine had been swapped out in the past?

Does this engine look familiar to any of you first gen cl owners?





Is the clerk an idiot, or am I?

I was trying to find a whole intake kit (piping filter etc) around home so i wouldn't have to get it offline, but I guess i'm just gonna have to do the online thing. Weapon R is the only one i can easly find online.

What do you think about those generic intakes that are only like $10, can you slap a K&N filter on em if you need to?

LOL isn't that the truth. It's amazing how someone says cute GF and people jump all over getting pics of the GF more than the car. I'd guess thats why a lot of us keep our mouth shut

Honestly, dude, you're both idiots. Here are my reasons:

1. The dude is an idiot because he thinks he knows what he's talking about.

2. You're an idiot because YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT THE HELL KIND OF MOTOR YOU HAVE IN YOUR OWN CAR.

..dude, I think you just violated your own car by NOT knowing what kinda heart it has. rough man..rough.

...unless I missed something.....

There is no need to make personal attacks on him. Not everyone is car savy, that's probably why he is here, to learn.
