Bored Thought I would start a New thread. I have a budget of about 700 for my next mod right now, should be doubled in a month or so. But I need some suggestions or opinions on what I should do next.

My Acura:
Headers, UR Pulley, TBS, CAI, Apexi VAFC II, Audio System, and simple mods like smoked tails and smoked corners. Just had the brakes redone.

Not really feelin the WW lips or anything like that but would like somethin to spice it up on the outside too like wheels!. But really wanting interior and engine stuff done first. Would should be the next move, BTW its a 99 3.0 let me know I'm up for TONS of suggestions on what to do next thanks guys!

 

Wait a couple months and turbo/supercharge the bitch!

 

I would go with exhaust.
How do you like the Apexi VAFC II?
I'm thinking of getting one.
Can you tell a difference?
What pulleys did you get from UR?
Thanks!

 

I like the VAFC II alot, maybe not as far as Horsepower, advance timing does help alot!..just the underdrive or crank pulley

For the first reply yeah i forgot to mention that I have a STOCK tranny..so thats outta the question unless i get a new transmission

 

also i have the headers with a magnaflow muffler from the axle back! just gonna use the stock piping for now!

 

save up a little bit and drop you car

 

wanna do interior and engine first but i was just gonna get that done with the wheels...

 

I was gonna say exhaust, so drop. If you're trying to spice it up, drop her, then do rims, drop b4 rims no matter waht

 

I say some really nice coilovers and maybe a sway bar, suspension mods are the most valuable IMO...

 

 

Yeah I'll probably just save a little more and get wheels and do some suspension mods. Thanks guys appreciate it!!

 

Suspension then wheels, vehddy impohtant.

 

my suggestions for exterior.

sidemarkers (amber or clear, whichever you prefer)
HID with yellow high beam bulbs
an OEM spolier
im not sure on your color, but do something with your grill, and forget that cheap mesh crap.


its tuff with a CL to be honest because of the limited options for the exterior. thats why its sooo much easy for accord owners. i envy them sometimes.

 

Yeah the OEM spoiler sounds good...Color is Black by the way...There are SO many things you can do to a grill its bananas..Oh yes I feel the Same way w/accord owners!! but CL's are Cleaner!!

 

why dont u get the CL-s camshaft and retune

 

thats debatable. each have their pros and cons. its an easier car to work with and make look nice, but theres alot of rice parts out there for them aswell.

o0o and i forgot. you could make yourself some custom blackhousing headlights aswell.

 

coilovers

 

So it Sounds Like Everyone or the Majority is suggesting suspension mods. Coilovers run about 800 right?...not tryin to go cheap with suspension cause you get what you pay for.

 

definitely save up for the best coilovers you can buy.
i wish i just did that in the first place

 

How are D2?

 

stickers

 

i was thinkin about these

http://www.raceinspired.com/pc-8667-...1994-1997.aspx

 

hes got something there. even though some may disagree.

done tastefully, stickers COULD sometimes liven up your exterior. especially original witty ones, or certrain companies yours rockin.

 

yeah might be somethin also!

 

no fat chics....

 

thats a great one. but only if your 2" or lower.


im gonna get "I <3 my CL" thats original.

 

stroke it to a 3.5L

pull up one of my old threads for all the info you need

 

call an escort

 

Been done

 

bull. prove it

 

pssssssssssssh

Someone on here has one, can't think of it right now, too blasted but it'll come to me. I thought it was one member but after searching them for a half hour it turned out it was a dif sticker, I'll find it though, I think it's green

 

ive seen it on at least 2 diff cars..



dont put stickers on your car, unless they are parking stickers or something
(let's not get into it )

 

I dont know about the CL scene as much, but I have heard great things about Tein and K-Sport coilovers- both of which are very reasonably priced.

 

Teins are great, but not reasonably priced, $1200 for the ones i want

 

compared to the JICs for my solara ($1700) that isnt too bad, haha. Isnt there a base model Tein coilover that goes for about $800?

 

Yeah ...how much labor n stuff was needed for that???...i thought u did the swap not a stroke..couldnt find anything about that man...that would be dope but i thought u could only stroke to a 3.2 >>??

 

Yeah, tein basics are about $650-700 just no adjustment on the dampers and no top mounts

 

oh, thats no good then... I would say go with k-sports then for a bargain coilover, I really liked the quality of mine and they have a lot of adjustability.

 

One of my old threads gets into all the details, or it could have been someone else's thread. 3.5L with a rough estimate of what it should run you depending on what the shop charges. But I don't see it running more than $2,000. A low and fair price would be around $1,300. Simply find a J35A4 short block, and you're set. The short block itself should only run around $400-$600. But it's finding it thats a problem. For the most part, junk yards will only sell you the long block. Took me 3 months to find one.
