Newbie.

Hey, whats up fellas. New to the forum, thought I'd introduce myself a bit. My names Carlos, I'm 17. Damn young to you older guys right? Anyway I purchased my own CL about 2 months ago and I'm already in love with it. Looking to do some stuff to it, since its currently all stock from what the owner told me and from what I could see. Was hoping I can find some insight on here with what to do. Well I'll post some stuff below about my car, and a picture.

CAR: 1998 Acura 3.0 CL

PICTURE:


I know most of you will critisize the automaticness lol. One of the first matters is window tint for me, Ima go like 15-20% even though legal here is like 30 i think, but im a rebel. But yeah, thats the ride, hope to talk to some of you guys soon.

welcome to AZine
the automatics are turrible for reliability, but other than that the cl's are pretty good cars *cough* (and window regulators)
be sure to read the n00b guide on the first page, if you haven't already
and search, there are plently of mods and DIY fixes on this site, all you gotta do is find them

Another n00b here. Doing a 'horizontal' upgrade on my ride.

old - '98 Accord EX, 145k - silver - auto - tan cloth
new - '98 CL 2.3, 85k - silver - manual - black leather

Love the old Accord, so basically replacing the old car with a little more style and rolling back the clock by 60k. Will add a new head unit and tint now, possibly paint it. Maybe suspension and wheels when it needs tires - we'll see on that.
