Late this afternoon I traded the keys to my 97' Integra for an 03' CL TypeS 6 speed. It is a wonderful Aegean Blue, with a spoiler on the rear deck. This is simply an awesome vehicle. The look, the purr of the engine. I patiently await the odometer to read above 1000 miles so I can enjoy for the first time the sweet song of the VTEC kicking in. Poor Integra did not come so equiped.

Have a great night and an even better tomorrow!!

Shawn S - Should you read this I have a couple more questions if you wouldn't mind a PM?? Thanks.

 

Congratulations! And welcome to the board.

 

That’s one HELL of an upgrade.
Welcome to the CLUTCH CLUB.

Shawn S

PS….Fire me a PM or ask your questions here.
I’ll get back to you when I get the first chance.

 

Contrary to popular belief, shawn is not the only one with a 6 speed, ask questions here.

 

Congrats on your purchase!

 

Awesome, congrats!

So much for Aegean 6speeds being hard to sell!

 

CONGRATS! I LIKE THAT COLOR TOO, THEY DIDNT HAVE IT WHEN I BOUGHT MINE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO....OH WELL

 

Congrats and welcome. Yes there are over 6000 members believe it or not, and we'll all help you spend more $$

 

6000? Thats one hell of an army of CL's...

 

we should have a national meet with all 6000 CL's

 

im down

 

Thanks for all the well wishes. After composing that message, I when for a ride on one of those quintessential New England back roads. What a joy to drive this car!! Handles the corners well. Once I make the adjustment to a much larger car and a 1000 miles I will be living large!!

Collective - Thanks for the offer. I realized Shawn is not the only 6 speed owner. I have been following this very useful and informative forum for several months now, so no insult meant to any members by my asking questions directly of Shawn.

 

hey omoulton...welcome to the club.

I too moved from a 3rd gen integra to the CL-S. My advise to you is be careful when taking corners. The CL-S is a much longer (and heavier) car and after driving the Integra for seven years I was very used to the tight turning radius. The first week I owned the car I joined the "scratched rim club" on a corner I take everyday.

Also remember to allow more breaking room as the CL-S doesn't stop as quick as the lighter Integra.

 

Good choice in color

 

You know...that is right! This car does feel bigger. I had a 92 Maxima and drove it fine...then when I got this car...a week later...rim scratch! I was like what the hell? But I notice I have to take some turns slightly wider out.

 

Congrats! I only hope in the 2003 models Acura has fixed the rattles, brakes, wind noise, and moonroof so it doesn't spoil your ownership experience!

 

None taken, just wanted to lat you know that your more then welcome to ask any questions in the open fourms, were all here to help each other.

 

Collective - As the 3rd place wiiner in the great Zaino Shine Off, do you use a combination of Z2 and Z5?

 

Congrats on the ride. The color is nice too... not great like the Nighthawk Black Pearl but still OK. What color is the interior?

Best of luck with it!
