Hey everyone,

My first post!

Here is a picture of me and my new rims that I just got put on my 99 2.3 CL.

Not much done in the way of modification besides 22% window tint all around, 18" chrome rims and sound system.

I just purchased this car a few months ago and really enjoy it. The best part is that it only has 22,000 miles on it. Not too bad for being a 99…

That’s about it for now. See ya!

 

WOW only 22,000 miles on it?!

 

I think i just peed my pants... 22,000 miles... ahhhhhhh yep i did



Oh and Welcome

 

how much did u get it for???

auto or stick?

 

22K damn that's a clean ass car, you'll get flamed for the chrome, but she looks good man, lovin the black with the wing and tint, looks a lot like mine. Welcome

 

Hey all!! wow so many responses so fast! haha cool.

I got it for $13,000 from a used car lot in Limerick, PA.

It only has 18,000 miles on it when I got it. The dealer said it was owned by one person in NYC that never drove it. Small amount of rust on the bottom of the exhaust from just sitting there and letting water lay on it. The dealer said I could get a new exhaust "at cost" when I do eventually need a new one.

It's not all good news to report though, I just got these rims off craigslist.com for $450 bucks (great deal!) however, I went to pep boys to get the rims installed... here is where the drama starts... ok get this...

1st trip to pep boys:
- the guy i bought the rims from had tires with them. However pep boys said the tires were shot (they did look very bald to me too) so I get 4 new tires. Then asked them to speed balance them. Two and a half hours of waiting at pep boys one service worker comes from out back and says "your lug nut cap broke". These rims have allen wrench locks that go into a plastic over that covers the lug nuts, you can see from the picture above what I'm talking about. Then they super glue it back together, in the morning i see dried super glue coming down the front of my back left rim! I'm like oh man! And the car shakes like crazy once I get to 15 mph!! So I called pep boys and they said come back to re-balance them...

2nd trip to pep boys:
- They re-balance the tires, I watch them hammer on metal weights to the back of the chrome rims... while I'm trying to talk to the supervisor at the time (some fat lady in a white shirt) and telling her they broke the cover on the rim! She said they would pay for half of it if I bought a new one!! I'm freaking out at this point. I could tell she wasn't budging and I had to talk to someone higher up. After they were done with the car I went home.

The next day I called the guy who's picture was hanging on the wall with the title of "Service Station Expert" or something along those lines... He was very helpful. Said he would replace everything. That's great, but my car still shakes when it hits 50+ mph on the highway! AND I feel the breaks pulsating every time I come to a stop, its like even a slow stop feels like I just slammed on the breaks going from 50 mph to zero. Now I think the rotors are messed up cause the over tightened the lug nuts!!! This Friday I'm going back to meet with the Service station head person... but this whole experience sucks. I'm never going here again.

Sorry it was a little off topic but this is killing me. The car was great now the steering wheel shakes and the breaks are acting up. Ughhhh...

Thanks for listening

 

Oh and it's an automatic.

and I like the chrome! So shiny!! haha... i was gonna go with black and chrome trim... but I really like how bright these are once the sun hits it. I just bought a buffer and waxed it myself last weekend that Maguires High Tech wax stuff is great!

 

i dont think the chromes look bad, its not the cheesy kind of chrome wheels

 

Nice Whip, good mileage! Wheels are lookin pretty good, just...what are you doing? haha.
Where in PA are you?

 

That's tight as hell. I mean, for the mileage of the car.

 

Man 22,000 i didnt even think that was posibel i got mine at a 100,000 and i thought that was good.

 

i got mine at 135k

 

Where is limerick?

 

looks good and the milage is incredible. nice pick up

 

Limerick is about 35 minutes from King of Prussia.

Yeah I really love the car, just wish it would stop shaking...

 

if the car be rockin... dont come knockin!


or



maybe it didnt really have 22,000 on the car. did u get a carfax report?

 

yeah i did get the carfax. It was in a fender bender in 2000. I guess the past owner that lived in NYC couldn't handle that city traffic...

I thought it might have been rolled back too... but the engine was squeaky clean and everything looked brand new. My mechanic said he was shocked too.

 

Degreaser FTW haha ^^

 

haha no no... not just degreaser. Even the seat belts in the back were still folded up with creases in them... haha and they still are cause... I like that. ha

 

Wow! Very nice and with super low miles. I can almost smell the near-new-car-smell from here!

 

Bad ass pick up. Only 22k! You'll love the car more and more as time goes by. It grew on to me after the 1st day.

 

is every CL in PA black????

 

yes.

 

Still amazed on the miles, now that you got a cl you should come down to franklin mills mall in Phila on the 5th. We are going to have a pretty big meet. Check out the thread on az meets. Don't worry about the shaking you will get used to it trust me, the faster you drive the less you feel it so drive fassssssstttttt,

 

and I thought I had the only 1...

 

no the 3 near pittsburgh have black and us 3 have black.

 

I used to be the only black CL in PA on this site like 4 years ago, before I had this account Now they're everywhere

 

They look so much better in black any other color it's just not the same.
gotta luv the black acks of america

 

that is some amazing shit.. 22k?? but i dont know bout anyone else but i would never never buy a 2.3 cl for 13k even if it did only have 18k.. but its nice no matter what

 

black is nice but i'm sure there are a lot of people that are willing to disagree with you on that one

 

I saw another black CL today, he lives in my neighborhood. ha, I guess he just moved in not to long ago. But uh, he doesnt have exhaust tips? haha.

 

Black acuras look V.I.P. ! No need to modify. They come good to go.

 

yeah i saw a black 97 2.2 acouple blocks from me too.

 

Black CL with needle dick exhaust tips

 

*ahem, its a sleeper look

 

They look so funny. haha.

 

damn.. just drop that thing fast and throw a ww lip on it.. the chrome will be tolerable then

 

Nice Buy Bro! .... That Flamenco Black lookin' Sweet.

Did u drop the car yet?

 

Unfortunately I also have these so called "needle dick exhaust tips", they came with the car when I got it, and I have been looking to upgrade exhaust so at least I can have some nice tips.

 

Well thanks for coming forward and admitting you have a needle dick? haha. uhhh...
