whas good people...i just bought my 1st car a 99 2.3 CL 5spd back in april and i was wondering what are some common 1st upgrades people do to their 1stgen's like i/h/e , etc and the best brands for it and maybe a good shop to go to in the NYC area if you know of any...and d98clturbo how much did it cost for the h22 swap and turbo addition? thanks for tha help every1

 

Ok here we go, this all would have been quicker had you used the search button, but since you asked already it woul be pointless not to answer.

1. CAI- AEM or injen, a lot of people here swear by AEM while others say Injen is better. Personally I ahve a topspeed short ram air intake that is loud as shit.

2. Header-DC Sports for the 2.2/2.3 and comptech or obx (with a little modificiations) for the 3.0

3. Exhuast- A lot of people just bu a universal muffler and then have custom piping done from a muffler shop in your area. Others opt for a system from a 94-97 accord ex for the 2.2/2.3 liters. I believe for the 3.0 the 98-02 accord v6 will fit with a little bit of midifying

I hope this helped.

Good luck

 

wiat, you have shaved door handles? Or did you just shave the mouldings at the bottom of the door?

 

You really aren't going to make your CL fast unless you have a few G's to spend. The first thing I would do is some exterior styling. Clear corners, tint, debadge...all cheap things that go a long way. Then I'd lower it with rims and a nice sounding exaust along with I/H. After that, It's all up to you.

 

yeah, tint, lowering, rims, and clear corners are reat starts if you are looking at the show aspect of the car.

 

i have shaved doorhandles and emblems on my car the only emblem left on the exterior is on my grill..i love the shaved doorhandles it catches people by surprise every time lol...i should have some pics up of it soon

 

alot of cash....

 

Wrong exhaust. The 98-02 accord V6 is way off, plus most of them are dual mufflers anyway. Even the single muffler exhaust, i.e. Apexi RS/WS are not even close. The best fit is off a 94-97 accord cat back base, and modding the mid pipe. If i were you, i would go with complete 2.5" piping from the cat back and a good quality muffler OR buy a bolt on axle back muffler. Magnaflow makes them, the 94-97 accord will fit on the 3.0 and 2.3/2.2. Hope this helps, and also, WE NEED PICS. I dont think anyone on here has shaved handles.
