You got some nice mods, what will you be getting next? Lighter flywheel?
You seem to focus on the GO more than show. That's cool. Have you tested your car to see how fast she is now?

Peace

nah i do both go and show. those pics are outdated. i got new ones commin thsi weekend hopefully. i got the front lip. my shit is all silver around the bottom and the lip is painted to match. also i custom painted a new hood grill. plus i bought new chrome pieces from acura. $80 fuckin dollars for that shit!
next go mod = igntion
next show mod = rims springs shocks(next summer)
next actual mod= clifford alarm
future plans= possible lude manual tranny until warrenty is up on my car(2004). then either h22 or j30 with 6spd manual if it ever comes out. i love torque

oh no i havent tested my car yet. i would like to think 0-60 in the 7s but idk. hopefuly some1 will have a gtech at the jersey shore meet.

nice.
I'd like to see how that silver looks.

I'm married and saving for a house so I guess that answers why I don't put more $ into my car.

Torque is definitly good. Are you both (SOHCer VXCL) still holding out for the "Luxury" aspect of the car? Or are you going to go for full speed and sport? It would be sweet to see a hybrid CL on the track in Touring series racing or something... I can dream though...

Good job both of you on your mods. You make it hard for me to save money.
I don't go to meets probably cause I figure I'll be too depressed afterward and want to blow all my savings on mods (then I'd be single again ).

Peace

You guys would be the first to know if I went with H22 swap.

Does anyone know of a hybrid CL?

nah, but im sure there has to be one. i still want to keep my luxury look, but sport performance. i just made my car a little sportier. thats why im going oz superleggeras instead of a 5 spkoe ore somethin like that. i really like when i pick my car up from the dealer and they say to me. damn for a 2.2 ur car moves!
