How many kms should i do to break in my new cl???? the manual says 1000km. Also whats speeds and stuff like that should i go

 

yes.....follow manual. Vary your speed, don't use cruise control, no wide open throttle, and do not rev past 5k.



welcome to the board and enjoy your ride

 

you can still get a new cl?

 

Yes, there is a big cryogenic CL sperm bank that keeps the gene pool varied.

But seriously -- good question

The "common" online new-car-auto search engines don't seem to allow a lookup of Acura + 2003 + CL...

 

Ditto.

 

I've been to a few acura dealers in the last month and none of them have new (03) cl's on the lot. I thought all the new ones were long gone.

 

thxs for the welcome!

my 03 was on the lot for a LoooooooNg time cl isnt a big seller in canada i guess

 

ahh yes .. I have heard that they are still available in Canada. I think one guy about a month or two ago bought a new 6spd. "stu mcrea" was his name I think.

 

Welcome to the board and best of luck with the mods... Which one did you buy CLS or CLP?

 

Congrats on the new CL and welcome to the board.

 

thanks everyone for the welcome.
i bought the cl-s 5speed auto, very nice ride, smooth

Just wondering how many km's did you guys use before ripping it up

 

I did exactly rip it up. But, I did start to get "on it" after about 1000 miles (not KM). I kept increasing the revs and load. I’m not telling you what to do – only what I did.

I did vary the revs before 1000 miles, and I just didn’t WOT the sucker during the first 1000. I did bring the revs up and ran a lot of different loads and speeds.

I also bedded in the brakes.
