Most of us don't camp on this site, and we just would like some questions answered.
I have only been a member of this site for about a month & I'm already tired of the assholes on here. I also would like to know the direct answer to SCCATypeSH's question, as I bought my car to drive, not show. The cosmetics are cool, but the technical info is what I'm into.
Just my two cents...

then stop coming here to read posts... if ur sick of it... comments like that are pretty much asking for more people to come out of the woodworks and say stfu.
Then leave.

I like to work on cars, hell I like to work on everything, hell I got proof, goto www.wam.umd.edu/~pbrown and click on CL winter project. I am not all the time but I get on every so often. You can always email me at pbrown@umd.edu. Take care

this guy just wants to know about common trouble spots to look out for and various repair experiences and maybe how to prevent them as well as working on the car himself. he's not interested in "suping up" his CL. i too am curious about these issues regarding my 2.2 5spd. especially when should i expect to replace my clutch.

btw. clgenious i liked your pictures and everything but why not just buy a prelude. they're just as cool as the CL. i understand the civic swaps because they are smaller and lighter and having a bigger engine is cool in a dumb little civic but the cl and prelude are very similar. do u really hate how the preludes look?

www.accordinglydone.com if you have a 1st gen cl since that site is mostly 5th gen accord owners...but some 6th gen info is there or can be applied
have fun..don't post until you search...you'll probably get all your answers without posting one question

being a 4 speed auto doesn't mean much, it's probably a benefit if you have a turbo

and i'm insulted none of you homo's called me a guru, I think I was the first person on this board to do anything :P

But what I can't remember is whether it is bad or good for our gears (clutch pack, whatever). Because either that slippage you get rid of improves the life of the gears, or makes it worse due to more wear on them. I forget....that you might want to look into. But I am going to believe that it would take the life away from your stock gears.
