im suprised the name 3.0CL wasn't taken?

Hobo

probably because everyone thinks that it would be and doesnt even try

3.0CL

I tryed nicks with my name but they were taken lol ...

I got the car before winter .. I was stuck with my '91 Z28, and luckely enough,
my dad was shopping for a new car.. he got the new TL, and I got the CL.

I checked the site skgarach posted, but dont see much except trans upgrade and full exhaust = $$$

With the Z28, you find mods like siamesed runners, base, plenum,afpr, camshaft, roller rockers etc ... tho im not putting it back on the road this year ..

Ill try a CAI, and research exhaust options for now

start with CAI, and exhaust first. Good place to start. Keep in mind, that this car does not have a big aftermarket selection. You will need to use accord parts. If you SEARCH on here, you will find all this info on this site.

Ya, same engine, trans feel diffrent tho, the '98 accord seems to have more pickup then my CL ('98).

ill check that out

thx

both the cl and accord trans suck thier basically the same.. when my car was stock i beat a 98 accord. and i had someone in my car with me, along with 2 12's..

yea you're missing something. sell the 3.0, buy a 2.x, (you can change f22 or add an h22) drop a turbo in it and then start modding it.

5MT fun factor = 10/10
4AT fun factor = 1/100,000,000

DivineCL

Ignore this
He's just upset that 3.0's rape him all the time.

agranado

heh. If the 3.0 had a MT, id kill to get one. but it doesnt. Thus, fun factor = nilch

DivineCL

I have FUN beating 2.x's with an auto transmission.

agranado

uh huh, but its not like you're really doing anything, unless you downshift a whole lot (which you have to worry about cause of your poopy AT). just going WOT all the time. woo hoo, fun fun fun!

to each his own though, I guess.

-Alex

DivineCL

Yeah.
Holla at me when your engine grows up.

CL Platano

Yeah if you beat Alex, you will leave half of your trans on the road then will have to borrow your girl's powerful Jetta GL to get around.

DivineCL

^ Same lame ass comments...as always.

agranado

cause its the same lameass tranny issue! as always!

-Alex

DivineCL

I never complain about mine?

You and CLplatano are the only fools that don't have respect for
the 3.0's. That's why you're always getting smoked by them.

CL Platano

lol..Alex is gonna smoke you at the Miami meet in May...I respect 3.0..All Acuras I love..I just get amused with the trans issues.. Chill bro the gel you use has you having roid rages..

DivineCL

If he tries, he'll be embarrassed in front of everyone.







You're next, platano podrido.

agranado

you know I got teh love for the big bro 3.0. Ive said over and over that if it had a MT, I'd be all over it.

Either way, That AT is always a goldmine for humor

DivineCL

Roids?

I'm far from it.


I'm cool. I know you and alex are just messing with me.
I don't know why I always reply to his and your comments.

agranado

cause it gives you 3,900 posts
