I got a new car!

Damn I really haven't posted in a while.. just been lurking around

Sadly it's time for the CL to go, I just want to be able to not worry about car problems anymore, its gonna be such a relief once its sold. A lot of money went into my CL since I bought it 2 years ago and Acurazine has been absolutely the best with all my problems and aftermarket stuff I put into the car.

I've got a really good full time job now so I can handle car payments, and yes I'm only 19 and paying for EVERYTHING myself.. car payment, gas, insurance, and I pay rent too.

I'm really gonna miss it once its gone..


But heres what I picked up last thursday...




I love it so much, its so much fun to drive. I decided to finance so I wouldnt have to worry about mileage and future mods, just gonna be a long 5 years paying it off.

are you parting out the cl? HID's maybe?

yeah i might take the HID's out of my car if someone wants them, pretty much everything else is going with it. idk if you're interested in my HID's because one of my ballasts blew out like 2 months after i got them and i replaced it but its not identical to the original one, so the light color is slightly off.. really hard to notice, you cant tell unless you're behind someone at a light and see the reflection, and you have to know its there, nobody else has really noticed. But I'll sell the HID's for 150+ shipping. I paid 250 shipped then had to replace a ballast for 80. both bulbs and the wiring harness is original. I dont have the original box but you'll get everything you need to install them

I'll start a thread in the black market later cause I still have a WW front lip to sell.. used (for 2 weeks at most) but unpainted cause I sanded it down, and I'm gonna sell my rims w/o tires, anyone PM me if you're interested before I put the stuff up in the BM

Plans for the civic.. hopefully I can make some extra money in the summer and start on this stuff, but im planning on window tint, headers, hi flow cat, intake, HID's or maybe tsx projectors, dynamat the doors floors and trunk, and a really good system. I'm starting new with this system, the only thing I'm keeping from the CL is the Alpine 4 channel amp. I'm gonna keep the stock head unit in the civic too just so it looks stock and I can keep the steering wheel controls. by the time I get that stuff done it'll be sick

reverse is separated from all the other gears so you cant get to it easily...

im pretty sure you can go halfway, theres nothing blocking you from shifting at least halfway into reverse.

wow thats awesome your mom has an AV6 6spd.

You should be happy when gas hits 4 dollars a gallon this summer too, because you will be getting 30 mpg or there abouts.
