here's some more pictures:




that day i have put on some mods on my car too, and i happen to have a camera with me, so, i took some pix of your car too.

this thing should move, i hope all of your motor/tranny mounts are polyurethane. what size exaust are you going with? i wouldnt go less than 2.5" all the way back considering the shorter length of your car and assuming you will run a single exhaust. ever think about a custom y-pipe like the 2nd gen CL/TL. I guess these are all after thoughts, you probably just want to hear the motor turn over. THe worst part is when they start the motor, but you still can't drive it yet... or have you started it already? ;]

This pic is not the updated pic of my car. That pic doesnt show the radiator and fans in place. More has been done after those pics. I am still using the UR pullies. I took out the AC pully and lines. I took out the cruise control lines. I have polyurethane mounts in the rear and for the tranny mount. And yes, this will still be running on 125 shot of nitrous. I have NGK spark plugs with a heat range of 7 to do the work (same plugs as an Evo).

Yo Chris...is this 3.5CL ever gonna make its way to Dallas? We'll set up a Dallas meet for Cocoa coming home meet. BBQ at the lake or something since its summer.
I'll be back in Dallas 3 weeks after the car is done. I'm having it tuned out here, and want to run it for awhile out here to make sure everything is fine.

So only the tranny & rear mount are poly? Where/what are the mounts from? Custom made?

Shift linkage & shift box from a 5spd AC or CL F-motor?

Good fuck'n work

Shift linkage is from the CLS, the clutch pedal was modded from both the CL and the accord's, and the shifter we're switching over to the accord's for better clearance for the hand brake.

And yes, the rear and tranny mount were custom made. The side mount is stock, and as for the front, they found a mount laying around the shop that happen to fit perfectly.

1. CLS engine stroked to a 3.5 liter. All CLS engines are the same. Just that 03 had an option for a 6 speed LSD tranny, which I have. About 3500 of them were made.

2. There are some differences between the CLS 6 speed, and the accord's. The LSD being one of them, the accord doesnt have it. Not sure about anything else like gear ratios, bolt patterns, or sensors.

I'm leaving to Button Willow tonight for the race tracks. My friend is running his Evo up at the "Big Willow". The races are from 7am-5pm with 30min intervals. (This is circuit btw, not drag). I will not have any updates until we get back on Monday.

And to answer your question asianspec, I don't plan on selling it.
