Picked up 2.3CL!

This afternoon I finally picked up a CL. I've been looking for one for a few months. It's a 1998 2.3CL auto in Iced Teal Pearl with 117K miles. Got it for $5,600. This is my 3rd acura (96 Integra LS and 99 Integra GSR). I do really like it. It's clean as hell. Anyway, I was just dropping by to show some CL love.

Here's a couple pics.

Well, I bought the gsr from some dude. He fucked up the engine and the thing blew a few months later.

I also went from an integra to a CL does it feel like your driving a boat compared to the integra? It doesn't feel that way to me anymore but when I made the switch I felt like I was driving a big cadillac hoopde. The stock suspension is much sportier in the Integra but I still like the CL more, of course.

Haha. Yeah man. It is very much like a little boat compared to the teg. Got to get used to it, but I dig it so far. It's like more chill to drive, alot more laid back. Nice to have in this atlanta traffic.

Speaking of power, what would be the best way to increase power that doesn't involve a swap?
