I finally got her. I know she needs some work but SHE IS ALL MINE! 03 CL-S 6MT
Sooo i finally got what i wanted. 2003 CL-S 6MT. Fortunately, there has been some modifications already to it. Pretty much what i wanted to do to it if i got it stock. Its got Comptech headers and exhaust, injen Cold air, dropped i think 1.5 to 2 inches and has both front and rear sway bars. Runs great! Now for what you all have been waiting for, Pictures!
Sorry that shes so dirty, i just got her. Oh and i know that the shift knob is missing, but thats something thats comming in the mail. Engine cover im not to crazy about but it looks good. Professionally painted. Oh and i didnt get the wheels off yet to check out the suspension, but it looks like that was done propely too as it rides stiff. Im sure that the shocks and the springs were replaced with something good. I'll find out tomorrow when i have time.
Now i have a slight problem. Since the entire exhaust was replaced, the check engine light is on for the catalyst is below threshold on both o2 sensors. What can i do to get rid of that? I know one was is to change out the headers and cat to original but what about them resistors or whatever it is to make the ECU think that its getting the right reading? Any help would be appreciated.

congrats, definitely a nice find there. You can't go wrong w/ comptech headers and exhaust already installed, not to mention the Eibach sways and injen intake. You're definitely ahead of the game on that one. Time to get some coilovers and some rims.

So you think that the o2 sensors are shot? because i think that its a high flow cat too.

Wow.. 12.6K... damn... was this a private sale or auction ?? With 70K miles on it, I would have thought it would have sold for higher...
Sounds like you found the deal of the year...
13K for a 6spd is usually reserved for higher mileage examples (90-100K plus miles)....
I swear I'm never buying a new car ever again

Greetings artbran,
A very wise purchase you made there.IMHO. >>>> The cure for that Red plastic engine cover is to chuck it into the nearest trash bin. >>>> A well designed beautiful engine such
yours needs to be seen by those fortunate enough to see under the bonnet. Be grateful for the suspension mods you have because those CL-S cars are not safe without them. Get some GOODYEAR F1 tyres on that ride for extra safety in the twisties. Any body can drive in a straight line!
Best Regards, sq.

With the way the values are going, I'm thinking about keeping the car forever... It'll make a nice winter beater in a couple of years...
