Hate to ask this, but...


...anyone know of any misfortunate rear ends with CL Type S's?? I'd much rather go for the entire engine, tranny, and ecu if it's possible besides ofcourse spending 10g's at an Acura Dealership to place an order on a full engine, . So far the only CL-S's I've seen have been smacked from the front, and indeed pretty badly from the front, compromising the entire block.

I'm sure you've had other pesky Accord's onwers asking these questions, but it doesn't hurt to try once again...

Hopefully you're not referring to www.copartfinder.com, cause that's where I saw the smacked up CL-S in person about 10 miles from me. Poor damn car...

Yeah that's the link...... Most junkyards are tied into some nation wide network that can locate parts.

No harm in being Nosey . Just about what everyother Accord v6 owner wants to do that want's more power. Swap it!! Not to mention that Rick Case upgrade won't work for the j30a1, not to say I'd be crazy enough to spend that much money on just an Accord, hehehe. And if the stage 1 can handle the Comptech supercharger ...

Yep, I check that just about every month, and so far it's the same 3 CL-S's that have been there since last Summer/Autumn . Thanx for the reply anyways though.

Any word on where this Tom is now? Perhaps he fixed his CL instead of "totalling" it? Hmm...
