I didn't want to start saying about these parts too soon, but I thought I give you guys time to make suggestions.
My brother and the Legends already have a Custom Strut Bar and have a throttle body in the works.Check outlegendarylegendz.com for pics.(If you go to the Acura-Legend forum you'll see that we have sold more than 100 strut bars and have orders for a helluva lot more.)

These are great quality products, and custom made to look and perform at optimum efficiency. We're going to start production of the strut bar after the NOPI NATS. With your supprot we'd like to produce a wide range of aftermarket CL parts that we all complain about needing.

Suggestions are welcome. . .thanks for your support

97Acura3.0CL

what other parts are they making? please be specific

cor

like comptech's icebox-- but more efficient and cheaper!
i want the benefits of a CAI, but i want it to be quiet..
i dont even think they have an icebox for the first generation CL's

KC CL 1785

id you say throttle body? What would the benefits of this be, would it fit the 2.2cl? I am interested, I already have the strut bar though. Any infor is appreciated.

MaCe

hmmm ideas for CL mods....

a turbo that fits
an actual body kit
a tool that can take the wood grain off

How about some engine upgrades for the 3.0, such as intake manifold and internals

Rob_Marciano

I'm SURE we are making custom designed strut bars and enginge enhancements for the 3.0(need to get a 2.2 and/or 2.3 for measurements).

As far as anything major, we aren't going to commit to anything without some kind of insurance that these parts are needed. We wouldn't want to make parts that are already in heavy circulation and don't sell. We're here to put out parts that are in heavy demand and aren't readily available.

Tell us what you need and we'll try our best to meet your needs.

Rob_Marciano

They do have an ice box and short ram combo, but it's about $300!
The noise from the CAI is usually why people want to buy them, but if you want something quiet I think we could take a CAI and modify it. If more than prolly about 10 or so people want that I'm sure they would do it. But doing it just for you would be seen as a special order and prolly would cost you some dollars.
Thanks for the suggestion

Rob_Marciano

The throttle body, much like any other aftermarket part, is much more efficient. It increases power and frees up more horses to your wheels. The throttle body that was designed for a V6, I'm not an engineer, so I really can't tell you what the difference will be. But, we can design one to fit a 2.2/2.3 as long I can find a "mold car" to come and get measured.

Hope that answered your question

Rob_Marciano

Hey MaCe, those sound like great suggestions, I'll talk it over with the engineers and designers and see what they can do.
I should have an answer by the end of the week-maybe sooner.

Rob_Marciano

Moforose3.0, I've been thinking about the same things for the 3.0s.
Hopefully we'll be able to get those designed and done ASAP.
Like I said, as long as we have max support we can do almost anything. You know how the world works. You can't do a damn thing without money.
Thanks for the suggestions.

cor

thanks!! hopefully we can get a lot of support for this--

if i think of anything else , i'll post

haiduc

i'll sticky this for a little and see how it goes.

Rob_Marciano

Thanks 1genCL
This will help a lot

legendary

for ideas of how this helps your car, check out www.honda-performance.com this will show what they can do.....you dream it, they build it

dcsquirm88

I don't think there's too much of a need for a custom strut bar considering that any aftermarket 94-97 Honda Accord strut bar fits the 1st gen CL perfectly. I have a one on my car from procarparts.com and it was a perfect fit and was less than $40.00. Just my 2 cents.

d5c5b

word to dc....i was a bit befudled when rob said they were making little things like the strut bar....not crackin on you tho rob....but why not research into things that the accord's cant offer us....and no one else makes......JMO....

Rob_Marciano

No offense taken. . .I was just using the strut bar as an example of the range of things that we can do. Now that I know, we'll scrap that UNLESS a lot of people are interested in a strut bar that looks as good as it handles.:P
I've been looking around popular web sites for Accord and/or CL parts that aren't available(i.e. intake manifolds, turbo, etc.)

I know that making parts that are readily available isn't good business, so I'll keep looking over these websites for unavailable parts.
Tell me what parts you want and we'll do our best to get it done.

Thanks for the criticism, keep posting your opinions!

TeamBlurryCL

Why would you need to custom parts for an CL? Any engine part for an 2.2, 2.3, or 3.0 accord would fit an 2.2, 2.3, or 3.0 CL. for example a 1997 2.2 Accord EX V-TEC and a 97 2.2 CL have the same engine, F22B6. therefore anything that can fit on a Accord engine can fit on a CL (like a 3.0 CL would get accord V6 stuff and a 2.2,2.3 CL would get accord v4 stuff)

97 2.2 CL
-RED with Gold Pearl
-Clear bumper lights
-PIAA Extreme Bulbs
-Hyperwhite corner bulbs and blinkers
-Wings west "air-dam" front lip
-Custom VIS sides skirts
-Custom VIS rear bumper
-Custom Ground Designs Spoiler
-Custom VIS secondary bumper (for shows)
-Advanti Racing Rim(Cracked one so it's being repaired)
-Nitto 555 drag radial rubber
-Sony Explod Head unit
-15" Viper Audio Subwoofer
-Viper 1200.1 D class Amp
-DC short shifter Adapter
-Brembo cross drilled and sloted rotors


Future Mods
-Ground Control Coilovers w\Tokico Luminas shocks
-Apexi N1 Dual Exhaust
-Black and Grey Interior w\ Sparco Accessories
-H22a engine w\ Turbonetics turbo
-racinghart S7's
-6.5 TFT screen
-Sony playstation 2
-more to come. . .

Check out my car and my team, TEAM BLUR at up comming So. CALIFORNIA shows.

Rob_Marciano

Not EVERY Accord part fits the CL exactly. Why the hell would I want to take another car's parts when I could just have my own?
Some of the parts these guys are asking for aren't made PERIOD.
Don't you want parts that actually fit straight out the box? Why pay $200+ dollars for a part you'll have to modify yourself? I'd rather pay 200 for a custom CL part that fits exactly than pay 250 for an Accord part that kinda fits. But then again that's JMO.

You ask why. . .I say why not.

cor

comon, what are we bashing this guy for?? he's trying to help us here... make things that we want that we arent able to get!

again i'll say.. i want a quiet CAI! :P

Atl-CL

Yes, CL parts are much needed. I hate that when I'm looking for new mods I have to search the accord arena. Making sure engine parts are from 98 V6 accord. Anything else its the 94-97 accord, what bullshit is that all about.

Rob_Marciano

Thanks for the back-up guys.
I need to start up a list of parts. Keep posting suggestions

cor

i think another good part might be a vtec controller.. i know there are a bunch of them.. BUT one for the CL.. maybe pre-tuned ??

my logic seems to think that this may be possible.. but it may not :-/ i dont know!

legendary

Ok,

We are trying to help you guys out.
If it isn't wanted, then that's fine. some folks should try o be more positive...I mean, you will be crying later when you can't use parts from the Accord. Like Rob said, wouldn't it be nice to have something that is OFFICIALLY for the CL, and not a substitution....that's sort of like going on a date with your girlfriend, and letting your twin brother get to take her home.

We aren't going to trying to rip anyone off. If you need any proof or feedback, go to the LEgend forum and ask anyone about the quality of work...or ask any of the folks that have been to any Legendary Legendz Meets

legendary

nowm can we get a poll of what folks want? or a dreamlist, then we can get the ball rolling

so-cl-een

What Duh! At first I read this post and I was like, damn, that shit is cool, someone is offering to make custom parts for our car, shit that very few and far between do. So why the hell are you guys babbling? If you don't want this shit then don't even reply to the damn post, if you think other people are wasting their time then ride it out and watch from the bleechers. Personally, I give props to you who are able and have the skills to fill our market demand, even if it might be going out of your way to do it. Cause now I can stop complaining about having to rig shit from another car.

legendary

thanks man
I k now the feeling...only, we don't even have another car to get parts from. its good to see folks support each other instead of 'hating'.

Now lets get you guys some parts

KingsFanPaul1

maybe cheaper headers
quiet cai or airbox
throttle body would be cool
maybe intake manifold besides the venom one
i bet if you made some stuff for the cl thats already available but for an accord you would still get soem people buying, not everyone knows accord stuff fits.
maybe a performance chip
maybe a dual exhaust kind of setup like the accords have??
nice body kit
anything that will give me horsepower

JLai

Performance chip would be nice. I mean a direct upgrade chip...something like what Garret makes.

Body kits always a plus.

What about a custom glovebox VAFC fitment that can just slide in and you can place the VAFC or whatever in there.

Or a nice reliable turbo kit for the 3.0 would be nice.

LiQUid_RENAMED

I'm not too familiar w/ the 1st gen CLs but since they have the same engine as my AV6 then I'm guessing you could use the UNICHIP which is a piggyback ECU, also I doubt there can be any reliable turbo kits for our cars since the trannys suck, you wouldn't be able to boost much unless you beef up the tranny.

senile32nd

a sheet metal intake tuned for a larger turbo like t4
a sheet metal intack tunred for na
4 bolt to 5 bolt hub cross over
a good set of reverse indiglos
a set of good front and rear strut bars (not aluminum may be carbon fiber)
a good moded rully carbon fiber hood with squirter holes and all in place (mildly moded like a scoop or something other than oem not crazy though)
maybe a nice projector light kit
a solid body kit that can take abuse and wont fall apart (polyurethane type you know the flexible oem material) that is classy
big brake kit
simple interior gadgets
a good short shifter not a adapter but a shorter shifter that also is geared better too (all in one not the a sawed off one) that would be nice

senile32nd

oh for the sheet metal intakes make those for a H22a and you'll be tougher than MOSES

See you @ NOPI

cor

damn i thought KC CL 1785 had an idea for a part.. i was all excited

a comptech icebox rip off would be a great product :P
short ram+ box to seperate from engine+ offbrand = cheaper performance

so-cl-een

I just had to put my two cents in.
Affordable Headers would be good.

Rob_Marciano

Thanks KC CL 1785

Sorry I couldn't get on here b4, but things at school have been getting hectic.

Anyway, I saw John(the guy who owns KMS) at NOPI this weekend. We had a nice talk about all the mods that he thinks he could do.
He said he was sure that he could think of some more enhancements when looked over the car.
I'm going over to his shop on Saturday to get fitted and bring the list of the things you guys requested.

Thanks for all your patience and cooperation.

BLACKOUTCL

i need a 4 piston caliper upgrade kit

a short shift kit that shortens throw >40% and includes new shift boot in the color of my choice and a discount on momo knobs

how about an obd2 to obd1 harness for my h22 project so i don't have to cut every f**ing wire
and an adapter to plug the vafc directly to our stock ecu without splicing

f0de

make me a manifold for an h22/h23, tubular equal length, out of inkonel.. and i'll be happy
