or you just gonna buy a new car? curious as to how you guys answer

 

Thats the plan! I love ma car, and an h22 was meant to be there.. stupid acura cheap bishes!!

 

^

CL coming stock with h22a... *drool*

 

<~~TL-S Owner

 

i hope i have an h22 before this engine dies...and im keeping this car for a while still..

 

Exactly the reason why I did the swap..I got the car with 145k on it and swapped at 155kish I think. My engine wasn't dead, but I figured this is my first car and I love it, and I can't really afford a new car just yet..

 

ya saving up $2500 is way better that making payments on a new car and more money modding it up..


BUt a part of me wants an EP3 hatch.. *sniiff* I know it only has 160hp but its soo nice... and now with the new Si's coming out i prolly can get one cheap..
Me wants a silver one!!

 

im gonna drive the j30 till it dies.. and afterwards.. try and get 4 door of some sort

 

Saving for an STI

 

after i fullly buil my h22 and pull 700+ whp runs then i'm going to throw in a boosted k-series for shits.

 

wow..

 

saving for an s2000 or an e46 m3 for after college, gonna keep the cl until it dies

 

im drivin the j30 til it dies.. or i have enough money, then doin a j32a2/6speed trans swap, or maybe a hybrid j32/j35.. we'll see, hopefully in a year or so

 

For sure I'm keepin this car till it dies! Then I'm pretty certain that I'm gonna be stayin in the Ack family

TL/TSX

 

I've had my car for 3 1/2 years already and I've put about 50,000 miles on it, I figure I'll keep it for another 1 1/2 years. I'm not one of those irresponsible guys who changes cars every year (not a financially sound idea), but with 5 years under it's belt, I'd feel like I got good use of my car and I'll move on.

For my next car my choices right now are:
New Civic Si
Used Acura TL
Used Acura TSX
Used Mitsubishi Lancer Evo
Used Subaru WRX

Basically for my next car I want something that is either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive (rear-wheel drive in New England winters gives me headaches) and I think I'd prefer a 4 door car but I'd go for a coupe too if I like it enough. I haven't decided if I'm going to go stick-shift or auto, it'll probably depend on my situation at the time of purchase.

 

<--- 130K miles right now. Im not selling the car, I've always wanted to keep my first car, and i plan on doing that. Its my first car, my project car that I will always modify and work on until the day I die.

My this J30 craps out, I will hopefully be swapping to a CL-S motor, 6 speed bulletproof tranny, and hopefully forced induction.

 

how hard is a j32 six speed swap into a 5spd cl ?

 

the question is, how much money are you willing to spend...

 

I didn't plan to lose the F23 @60,000 miles..but when it happend, I could not imagine putting the SOHC back in..Had2Get the H22. I plan to keep this car for a long time. Would like to Turbo it by next year...but run low enough boost, to where it lasts long.

 

I'm already saving up, I've got big pans for the H22. I'm doin a built up h22 w/turbo!!! I've already put about 1500 back for it.

 

i want to keep my car for atleast another year or so, but i don't know. Depending on college and where i go will decide alot if i will keep my car or not. It's an awsome car, but as of now i am offered a brand new BMW M3 next year if i can get into the URI pharmacy progam, mind you it is one of the hardest to get in and one of the best pharmacy schools in the country. But with that being rear wheeled drive i may also get a beater truck, or maybe even keep the CL. :2cent:

 

Well, my swap cost about $5500.00 for everything (few mods, labor). I got the motor and ECU for $1590.00 shipped, which I found to be a killer deal! You going for the turbo setup and all, you will need a few more $$$...but you seem to be doing a good job @ saving for it.

\Can't wait to see it..Iam going to work the kinks out of the motor as is...then look at my finances to see if a turbo is an option.

 

keeping the cl till i get out the navy (june 2007) and depending on where i work will determine if i'm in a Caddy CTS or a 330 sedan. if those two don't pan out, whatever i get must be RWD and have a manual tranny....if the TL was RWD

 

I haven made up my mind, but I'll most likely keep the CL until it dies on me. Then I'll most likely get a new TL.

 

I would really love to make a sleeper vehichle , like an WRX wagon and boost the hell out that biatch...

 

I doubt my family's '97 2.2 CL with 148k will be dying any time soon. Had it since day one, brand new, and the only problems this past couple years are the two window motors going out. Def one of the most reliable cars ever, it's been through my mom, sis, bro, and now my mom's driving it again. And soon it'll be my car as soon as I can drive (I'm 16 in Jan.)

 

well... im planning on burning the shit out of this motor since im dropping a h22 + turbo as soon as insurance check comes

 

im actually gonna make the CL my project car. When i can afford it it is going into my garage and its gonna be torn down. I HOWEVER am going to be keeping the F23 and doing a lot of work to it. There is a lot of stuff that you can do to it. Its gonna be more of a show car anyways rather than a speed demon. Thats what the two vehilces that are gonna be parked next to it are for. Either a STI or EVO 8 and a GSXR 1000
