Myxomatosis

Got the damn dent out from hitting a raccoon in the fall. All it took was warm weather and 10 minutes, lol, I'm getting pretty good at pulling my bumper off quick...

Still got to get some pics up here soon, need to wax her first.

Brought her out of hibernation on Sunday, took her for a couple rides around, hoping Catfisha can help me wash it before she leaves town

Ripped the ww rear lip off so that I can start fiberglassing the 2 pieces together to make it 1 piece for a proper install.

SupraManAG

spencer_homer

so tough haha.

i think ive finally given in and decided that I need skirts. badly. and some damn paint haha

timeizmoney22

Installed Wicked tuning rear upper control arms and my ingall's front camber kit should be here today.Trying to salvage what's left of my proxes lol! Also replaced both toe arms in the rear. Left rear knuckle still seems to toe in no matter what I do with the adjusting bolt. Hoping the subframe isn't crooked somehow!

I've been debating skirts as well, your bumper definitely needs some paint, looks like this

Spencer I love your car even w/o new paint, if only it were swapped lol.

97CL_NC1102

It's been dead in this thread for awhile but I got the cl replacement...it's no Acura but it is still a Honda product .




Ill be stopping by the cl thread every now and then cause you guys have been great resources for problems I've run in to

awww dude 91 civic?...that was my first car. i put so much into that car (time spent either fixing it up or memories spent with it) that i damn near cried when i got into an accident with it. id love to see what you do with it

97CL_NC1102

Yup 91 ED3....I've heard they're pretty stout little cars and I've got great plans for it

spencer_homer

dont worry, its about to go at any moment. ive been waiting for it to H22.

still the plan. But the idea of a bad ass F23 going back in is teasing me. I just love the f23's tourque. and the fact that ive literally pushed that motor so hard for so long, and it always keeps going.

Starting a number of projects today, ripping the console, radio and bottom trims out now

97BlackAckCL

Got a lot done yesterday, got the old pioneer radio removed, got all the wiring out, ripped out the flexible LED strips under the steering column and glove box, removed the old Bell LED junction switch box, and removed all zipties and old wiring from the old head unit. Here's the Pioneer that I'm selling if anyone's interested


Here's the old Bell's junction box for all my LED bars, I'm going for something smaller and more stealthy that I can mount under the armrest out of sight, so only a switch is exposed.


I also ripped out my old homelink that I retrofitted a few years back because I have a replacement, but I'm also planning to mount my GPS antenna and an autodimming compass mirror up there


Here's the remnants of the LED wires which are all being replaced


All the wires removed and ready for new


Cheers

gave her a good wash and changed my cracked wood trim for some "new" (from the junkyard) ones.

I renewed the registration for another two years, and am now researching exhaust options. I have the CT Engineering Icebox installed, the CT Engineering headers in my room, and I am now trying to figure out the best way to go about the exhaust.

So far, I have found that there is little need for me to buy the CT Engineering exhaust because the gains are minimal. I think that I want a high flow cat, and am looking further into the option of a resonator delete.

As for the resonator delete, I saw one post that said that the exhaust without a resonator sounded "ricey."

Then again, I grew up in the world of Integras... Isn't "ricey" the modus operandi?

Do you have a 2nd gen?

I have an '03 6-speed.

Very nice, I was assuming since CT didn't make shit for our 1st gens

I have a CT battery tie down

I drove my car to work, hauled 2.5 sets of race tires for the Formula car around, and looked for a replacement for the CL as a daily ride. So many possible options...

Myxomatosis

had to repair my exhaust, seal went between the mid pipe and muffler. Used permatex exhaust sealant. Day 2(about 110mi.), so far sounds tight, pretty impressed, always thought these things were bs, not that I expect it to last forever..

Also trying to get my camera settings figured out, third time trying to get some pics on the car for you guys at night(I work 3rd shift). I cannot figure it out.. Either way I should have some pics up tomorrow and a hoping for a photoshoot at a classic car show I'm going to tomorrow.

Our cars certainly are classic

timeizmoney22

Can't wait to get my classic plates in 3 years!

Officially booked the flights, transport, and storage space for the CL to be brought back to life here in FL! I'm psyched!

Breather for the steering rack came in. Took off the runners and manifold today to replace the gaskets, but decided to port n polish them while they were out. Going to delete the actuator and plate as well. So that's what i'll be finishing up tomorrow.

Showmeyourtints

Today I changed a spark plug. Very uneventful.

got my pioneer avic z130 (got it for mad cheap) which will then replace my avic d3. was hoping that it was just going to be a straight harness swap but apparently the z130's harness is slightly different.

audio installation is such a pain in the ass.

Germ

bro where did you get the box for your led bars?...

1SJRx

Today I washed her, touched up some of the re-appearing rust spots above the rear wheel wells, and got her ready for an early-morning absolute inspection by my family's independent mechanic tomorrow.

(2 cross-country trips in a one month time frame as I move to a new state ... I do not want any mechanical surprises!)

Can't believe I've already put 10k miles on her daily driving around Chicagoland.
Bought her at 107,550 ... local trade from a suburban Nissan Dealer ... have not had to do much other than new tires and synthetic oil changes.

She's my third car, my oldest car by model year, but my definite favorite.
All Stock. All Class.

Got it at walmart back in the day. Let me know if you want it

First tried to get her moved into the garage.
But both of the batteries were dead and battery booster didn't help. Died probably 5 times in a row without getting any closer to the garage.


Borrowed an RV battery and finally pulled it in and got to work


Ripping out all my wires and stereo equipment still in there because I'm pretty sure it will be written off by my insurance company. It has hail damage and someone did a terrible job of trying to break in the passenger door earlier this year.
I forgot how much of a pain the ass it is to rip out the rear speakers, I should have just left them in there.

SO ... At nearly 118k miles, my all-stock 2.2's verdict is in:
-New Water Pump
-New Timing Belt
-New Spark Plugs
-Resurface Rotors
-New Engine Mounts
-New CV Joints

yay.

.... 250k+ here we come.
