"EWOKONE'S" 97 2.2 CL $low restore/build thread"
Whats up fellas! Im new to AcuraZine,My name is David also known as Ewok.I've been in the Honda scene for about 7 yrs now and moved on from the hatch back to a big body Acura.just bought a 97 2.2 cl from a first time owner in mint condition. Plans are to restore it to its tip top shape and add some modifications but nothing over the top or riced out. Here are some pics for now and I will keep this updated as parts come along

I've heard of Cali Love Krew, i think. One of your guys has the Cream colored CD Accord. If so, this should be good.

Looks pretty low to me, if youre not trying to slam it. If youre just trying to hide gap go with a bigger wheel. But its looking good. Btw, what coilovers do you have now?
