Just thought i would say Hi to everyone Im about to purchase a 2003 CLS 6speed with Navi. Anthracite(Dark Silver) with black interior And trust me the mod bug is about to bite.

 

Welcome to AZ, where the mod bug is constantly flying around biting everyone

Congrats on your CL-S! Enjoy the new ride, anthracite's definitely a nice choice and you definitely can't go wrong w/ the 6 speed! Since you're planning on modding already...definitely get some headers!

 

Where are these new owners coming from. This is great its like a new generation of CL owners, and most of them are 6spds.

Oh yeah and welcome to the site

 

Welcome to the money pit.

 

First mod is about to be ordered.....now just which intake aem or ingen? Please dont answer I know thats a touchy subject

 

Well def don't order the Injen. They only make intakes for the autos. At least last time I checked. So go with AEM or Icebox.

 

Congrats, where are you located?
you'll have one of 137 of these combos made. It took me buying 2 CL 6MTs before I got the right color combo.

 

This is a whole other topic, but ICEBOX or AEM are your only choices. But the topic has been beat to death, and you should find more than enough info though the search for you to decide

 

Im located in Northern Virginia

 

Nice pick up and awesome color. Hurry up and mod and keep an eye on the meet sections to hook up with your local acurazine members.

 

Mine has cosmetic mods mostly, OEM spoiler, mudflaps, tint, CTdrop, alum dash & doorsills, 01 roadlamps, upgraded PIAA bulbs, debadge 3.2CLS, TSX shift knob.

 

That aluminum dash is a nice touch . Cosmetic wise I was probally going to put some 01-02 roadlamps in the front bumper. I think thats what the 03's are missing eventhough they dont give off much light.

 

Good choice!! Where did you buy it from? How much? I have a silver 01 cl at type S. Have fun!!

 

I bought it from a private seller for 20K with transferable 100K warranty

 

Welcome! And you too, will get by the modding bug!

 

i just got an 03' CL-S too, and im in Northern VA, same color too...small world huh. cept mines auto, which i know realize sucks after driving a stick car. what part of nova are you from?

 

Near Warrenton which is south of manassas

 

Congrats!!! Great choice in color. And I can sure understand what you mean by the mod bug biting... I've already been bitten in a big way (CLS 6MT Anthracite, CompTech *.*)

You'll find that the CLS 6MT takes to mods nicely...

 

NSX-Tuner, Im guessing you have comptech everything . This will actually be my first foreign car. I also have a 99 Doge Neon R/T and a 97 Grand Prix GTP sitting at the house as well. The Grand Prix is deffineatly a fun ride and loves smaller pulleys

 

Affirmative!!!

 

[/CENTER][/QUOTE]


your interior looks real good, i like it ALOT! where did you buy that interior trim? im interested

 

NSX-Tuner......you can tell you have good taste, lovely set up. What size wheels and drop do you have?

 

MSW 6sp -
I got the dash kit online, forget the name, woodtrimdash?... wooddash...
Most online sellers sell the same product, most will send a free sample first.
Mine is real brushed aluminum, not plastic or plastic coated. cost about $200.

 

thanks...

Wheels: Volk Racing LE37T, 18x7.5 +48 offset. Please note: the fronts have a 5mm wheel spacer for the BBK.
Tires: Michelin Pilot Sport PS2, 235/40ZR18/RF
Drop: CT sport springs, about 2" front, 1 1/2" rear

 

Doesn't bigguyonbike and smitty both have their supercharger + intercooler setups for sale?

MikeCLS6, you need to acquire an extra $5k and you'll be set when it comes to power.

 

A supercharger would be wonderful on the CLS . The only thing Im going to do to the CLS would be headers, intake and maybe a pulley. But i bought the acura for reliability. I already have a supercharged car that has 300lbs of torque no lsd, goes nowhere quickly

 

Headers, intake and pulleys will be a good addition. You may also want to consider some spacers, and cooling mods.

What's your other car?

 

Pontiac Grand Prix GTP....gotta love the old technology of a pushrod 3.8

 

No offense to your GTP, but your CLS is quicker. The CLS is rated to do 0-60 a full second faster and the quarter is quicker too. Plus a freind of mine has the GTP and I have no problem pullling away from him

 

spdy, he said the GTP has a S/C. you may have to edit your post now.

 

My grand prix GTP is supercharged, mods include Intake, 3"DP, 1.9Roller Rockers, Intercooler and a 3.25 pulley. Wheel hop and and no LSD on this front wheel drive car makes launching difficult. The CLS6 is much much more refined though.

 

I know its supercharged. They come stock with a supercharger. He just never mentioned any other mods though. The CLS will out perform it with the stock supercharger, but it may be a little faster with his mods

 

Roll or dig?

 

So far just roll, but numbers don't lie The CLS-6 is rated faster stock vs stock.

MikeCLS6 - I didn't intend to hijack your thread. Im sure your GTP is fast and I hope you love your CLS as much as I love mine
