BeatYaAll's Car featured in a Car Magazine?!!!

BeatYaAll:

I have a really good suggestion. Your car is the one of the best moded and tuned CL-S that I am aware of.

All the time when I am browsing a tuner Car Magazine (e.g., Compact Sport Car Mag) I got frustrated that till date I never saw a single CL-S!. WTF in world are those bastard, Mag's Editors, living on the moon. Aren't they aware about the existence of some nice fuking, kcicking ass, Acura 2001, 3.2CLType-S.

I would suggest if yourself, or someone on the this board, possibly Soopa, would contact a tuner Car Magazine (e.g., Compact Sport Car Mag) and tell them :"I have nice fuking, kcicking ass, Acura 2001, 3.2CLType-S available for your testing, could you please have it featured in your Magazine, thank you."

BeatYaAll, are you up to it?

Um I could be wrong but wouldn't Compact Sport Car feature compacts?

Nashua I also can only wonder how they could refuse such a request?

I'll bet that they would smile instantly when they finally realize what they've been missing.

AL,
Believe it or not, It is the fact that CL-S is classified as Compact!. 330Ci is even SubCompact!!!

Anyhow, How do you like your Comptech springs amd sway bars? any negative comments?

I am planning on getting those installed soon, will cost $1K installed....

I then stand corrected. As per the springs/sways? RUN don't walk to get them installed! It is amazing the difference in handling. I cannot wait until the stock rubber rubs of, then it'll get even better.

Yup including alignment, sways and springs cost about 1k. Mine was done at the dealer by Jens.

The only car mag that i'm aware of that would show a luxo-sport car would be MaxPower. So start reading that and maybe you will see one. It is made by the same people who write Stupid Street umm i mean super street.

I have no problem contacting them...

Gather up information on some of the best modfied cars of some of our members here... and well submit the info to them.

Im pretty sure we could get a shout in their mag.

I think one problem is... all modified CL-S's are SLEEPERS since nobody really has any exterior mods. No body kits etc... SCC usually features cars with a lot of appearence mods.

Either way... Im sure we can get some mention in there... hook me up with the data.

Not to worry though, there will definitely be a couple of write ups in a couple of the car mags very soon. Of a cl type s with way more mods than beatyall has.

This particular cl type s has already secured sponsorship from a very prominent japanese tuning company. This company will be producing one-offs for this particular car. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

yeah i guess big time u can do high 13's .. the 70 shot and the drag tires will help aloot.


the dyno sheet is somewhere here in this fourm under Beatyaal dyno... it is an old one... i have the AEM added now.

my car got about 224 with 18 inch wheels .. that means that i have 234 with 17 inch wheels because the 18inch wheels lose about 10 HP... and add at least 11HP for the AEM... i will have about 244HP on the ground. iam just assuming that .. iam going to get my car dyno'd again with 17 Inch wheels soon.

Soopa is right though, we won't get much notice. CL's have always been under rated by the racing scene. I guess someone just has to open their eyes and show them the true speed of some CL's!

Max Power is one of my favorite MAGs, but i think they have moved to being strickly Euro, doing bits on BMW, VW, Audi, and MB etc... not much on Japanese cars.

I remember when they were MAX SPEED, those were the days when they featured all luxo-sex machines.
