Seriously!

Where to go, next???

I'm not sure what to put on the CL.

I'm much more interested in speed than looks, but $1100 for headers, $3000 to $5000 for custom turbo or supercharger seems outrageous.

I don't know what the fuck to do!!!!!

Is it time for another car?

Any suggestions?

 

NEW ENGINE!!!!!!!!! SWAP IT-DON'T SELL IT!

 

custom some parts making it more efficient I suppose. Scott, ghander is getting a custom manifold is run direct nos i think.

 

go with the headers if you can... I rode in my friends accord exv6 the other night, he just put headers on along with a greddy cat-back and OMFG that thing has some NUTS!!

They definatly gave his car a HUGE kick in the ass!!

 

Ignition, fuel pressure regulator, high flow cat, cat-back exhaust, underdrive pulleys, VAFC, level ten upgrade, etc.

Not sure what fits the 3.0 but I know how you feel.

Why do think I ended up with an FMAX.

 

Build up the engine. Im not exactly sure what is available to do that, but there has to be something

 

get custom higher compression pistons, rods...type s cams, cam gear, throttle body, intake manifold.

 

Dust... go to a junkyard and find a wrecked type-s... run the type-s motor w/ NOS and you can kill'em all!!!! And it would cost you the same as upgrades with more performance outcome!

 

if you want a major upgrade that will make you faster and probably put you into the 13's with ur setup right now then call me bout that tranny swap!!!

 

Not looking to sell the CL.

Just thinking about getting something quicker.

I appreciate everyone's input, and PLEASE, tell me more!

BTW: FMAX on the 3.0 sounds very intriguing! Couple that with a 5-speed, and all of the other mods listed above, and I'll be the fas....... BROKE!

 

VAFC.....need fuel to go with the nitrous anyway.

 

Try finding some carbon fiber or other light weight parts. It won't increase your torque or horsepower but you'll go faster just because you weigh less.

 

I'd say go with Apexi VAFC, Type S Cam and Throttle Body. Oh yeah, then put on a "Type R" sticker - that alone will add like 15 horsepower.

 

Go for the Type-S motor, then add headers, even the ones from the Type-S motor are better than our stock ones. Then you shall easily be in the 13's.

 

they say 15HP but its only like 9HP to the wheels

 

get those side skirts painted ... couple hundred bucks for the looks... i say it's worth the money...

i don't know how much music u listen to... maybe get a mp3 deck? i know it's not performance.. but it'll make ur drive more enjoyable ...

my 2 cents...

New paint job man, get something off the hook. In my Superstreet there was a 1998 Accord with a Kandy Apple Hue and it was bad ass. Also in my mAY (I THINK) Issue of Performance Audio and Sound mag they had this 95-7 Civic SI with this dark green color, the title of the article was dark horse... look into it man!

 

I think that I'll get the headers and rest of the exhaust (back to the axle) Then, I'm going for ignition, fuel pump, fuel regulator, and UNICHIP or VAFC (can't decide which will be better).

 

Will a type s engine fit in a 97 cl?

 

unichip is far superior then the VAFC

 

That's impression that I've gotten so far.

I think this is where my efforts are going!

 

Ill tell you whether or not I recomend getting the aem pulleys once I get them installed. I think within the next month I am having my throttle body bored out, so Ill let you know how that goes also. Good luck hittin those 12's Rick

 

hosnestly ..... even with all that shit and all that money spent ur gunna be what in the high 12's MABEY! y not just go for a new ride ? if u got the modding bug which will all know u do drop some loot on a supra or rx7 and mod the hell out of that and watch ya dip into the 11's i love my car but it just aint made to go that fast .. just my 2 cents

time for something new
i'd say maybe jump out the honda/acura realm unless you want to stay w/ what yer familiar w/........i'd say my next car to have as a project would be a lexus SC400/300....
i'd say move on bro! save the CL or sell it, tis up to you!

 

I like my CL too much to get rid of it. And, as far as speed, high 13s is plenty fast enough for me.

The CL is my daily driver, and I spend probably 90% of it's life travelling back and forth to work, and running errands. I have another car that I can build, if the CL begin to bore me. So far, I'm happy playing with the CL!

I figure with headers and/or the UNICHIP, I'll be in the 13s which is just fine with me!

I was just trying to figure out which mods I could do without spending $3000+ a pop!

 

Hey dust you ever thought about getting a zet servo charger. I agree the unichip would be your best bet but if your looking around try looking at a servo charger. If youve never heard of one its an electronic diaphram that controls the amount of air going into your engine. It basically trys to keep your engine from running lean or rich. It installs into your CAI or Air Box and hooks up to your ECU and depending on your RPMS and other data it either opens or close. The web site below is for it and I think they have a mitsubishi diamante or galant dyno, from what I remember it didnt look to bad.

Dust... for perf... you can work your motor into the $10k+ club at a speed shop....

but otherwise time to go for "show" not "go"...

otherwise..... burn it!>;] and get your insurance money into a type-s you can work!

 

heheheh might not be a bad idea ... got all the reciepts right ????
