Hey guys, just thought i would introduce myself on here...im Justin!

I have a 1998 Acura 3.0CL and i just picked up a 2001 Acura 3.2CL type s off a fellow member(stylin on you) or something like that.

Anyways just thought i would share!





And just for anyone who doesnt know... the car has an AEM coldair, Comptech headers, Eibach pro kit, tokico shocks and some other goodies for the time.
The road lamps are tinted black , not to sure how to turn them on though, would like to know


In the summer ill be throwing on my dads 18" Deep dish gunmetal rims until i get rims ( i picked it up with only steelies)

Also i have a friend selling his greddy evo 2 exhaust that ill be picking up.




Thats my 98 CL for the record..soon to be forsale!


Thanks everyone!

 

really not feeling the rims. add some 03 tails, and it would be set.

 

I wish I had money to do mods

 

I dont have those wheels no more dont worry! i got steelies with snows ahah '

 

Stylin sold his CL? WTF?

At least its still in the AZine family.

 

Wassup man welcome to the forums lol i have a CL-P that really feels like a type-s but still a P whats the next mod if your planning on modding

 

Umm i think the next is the greddy evo exhaust my buddy has forsale!

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Nah man you should be trendy and get yourself an Option pulley

 

what kind of power will i gain...and how do i turn on my road lamps?

 

its more like it will free up power but it will be about 10hp and to turn on the roadlamps there will be a button on your left near the sunroof button

 

I have The traction control, sunroof and thats cruise control thats it. But i do have road lamps.

 

take off the bumper and make sure u have power and ground. or the bulbs might be burnt out.

 

mine was kinda under the dash infront of the fuse panel

 

Unless he installed one

there is no switch to turn on the road lamps in the 01, they should go on with the the headlights

I just saw the ontario plate I was hoping there was another CL in the ottawa area, NO luck


Sounds like there burnt or non existant

 

yess option pulley is great cl-s progression will be in here in a few seconds to persuade you lol. and thats my next mod also i just bought some HKS draggers and still debating if i wanna put em on now or later

 

Welcome, looks like you picked up a clean ride!
Glad your changing the wheels, haha!

x2 on the '03 tails. I can't say much cause i'm missing the headlights!

Def seems like the parking lights are burned out. But they may be disconnected (might be why they are tinted so dark, maybe to hide them). Ask the seller if he disconnected 'em. Pretty easy trial and error to figure that one out. GL!

 

justin, the roadlamps need new lightbulbs,and theres no button to turn them on, they come on when u turn your light on, they look WACK turned on tho trust me

u coulda just sent me a text lol

and yes my car is gone,but to a good home it seems

i still have the rims and they'll be up for sale soon pm if interested for rare jdm carving stark 3 rims

 

i used to have a 03 tl-p and there was a button to turn them on and off next to the sunroof button

 

HAha thanks man , didnt wanna bother you for a silly question anyways!



And just so everyone knows, the wheels that came off the car looked amazing on the car in person(blackberry camera phone does no justice)
and they are in great shape!


Thanks again Miro!

 

Welcome to the 2nd Gen side! How's the power difference? Guess it's hard to test out on a day like today! Nasty out there. The Option pulley is a good power mod.

 

Haha whats up budddy!

Power is great dude, car is stored for the winter! AHHA shes sleeping!

Had a blast night time though...took her for wash and got some gas!

Nasty out there, i feel bad for my 1st gen today ahha

 

Argh...mine is still on the road!

if you thought finding a front lip for your old CL was hard...

Edit: Oh wait: https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/acura-tl-1999-2001-oem-front-lip-montreal-canada-755412/

 

It doesnt fit CL's LOL it said right on it ahha


Ill buy your front lip ahah


Yeah i dont think finding parts will be as hard as the 1st gen ahah

 

It's for a TL...so was mine. You have to mold it to fit.

 

Ohh true!

I donno if im going to do a front lip, i saw a front lip on this car in pics and it didnt do much for me...

Lets get this snow gone first ahah

 

hey man I have always been curious about the DIFFERENCE between the j30 and j32a2...

obv u got some mods also on the new car, but overall how much of an upgrade is the 3.2cl from the 3.0cl

since u have both cars i think ur the perfect person to ask.

And yes get that damn option pulley, best hp/$ mod period.

I spent much time CONVINCING ppl that is a wicked mod and i'm pretty sure they can all agree with me. I am done persuading people tho, hopefully some other option pulley ppl will take my place as the pulley persuader LOL.

nice find BTW enjoy that ride!..

and DO a tranny fluid change ASAP, 3x3 and use honda fluid. change ATF filter on tranny (located under intake).

our cars are awesome if u can maintain the trans, so just done some precautionary maintance and u should be fine.

soon the better

 

Thanks for the advice...i actualyl worked for Honda/Acura for a bout 2 years and my brother is a service manager for Acura so im pretty well aware of these cars... Family full of Honda/acura i can pretty much fix and work on anything of them.

And to compare the J30 to the J32... no comparison to be honest...

Starting with the J30 being a 4spd auto, vtec kicking in at 3500, redline being 6300, the J32 will smoke it right from the launch.

My 1st gen doesnt have traction control, so i never actually got the tires to spin for very long.

I had the upgraded interior on my 1st gen, so it had the wood grain that flowed in to the center console, pretty much like the CL-S but for interior , the CL-S would have to win for more rooom ,better seats and more up to date, interior was pretty much a 94-97 Accord with a plastic wood trim ahha.

My 1st gen was 4x114.3 for the bolt pattern, wheels were limited of course, so the CL-S wins again.

Both have the same amount of trunk space, neither of the seats go rigth down both have that little crawl space.

With the 1st gen being alittle lower, it handled great but yesterday i had the CL-S handle amazing for the weight of the car

Alot of features i really like with the new car, really makes my 1st gen look like pooh ahaa

Im really happy with the 2nd gen and actually never thought i would of bought one since i had my eye on a 2nd gen TL... Glad i got a CL again.


Hope that gives you a good idea of the difference...can you supply a link for the pulley so i can see the horse power gain and what not? Thanks
I feel welcomed here...






Interior pic of my old CL just to show what im talkin about!

 

Did Miro include his old front lip with the car? He had one on there at one point. The full lip kit does look nice...
maybe you'll see one some day on a CL...

 

there is no dynoed gain if i were to tell you though it's BETTER than an intake.

http://cgi.ebay.ca/97-02-ACURA-CL-99...item518947f773

I have that on my car for the last 25000kms and it's BEAUTIFUL, i LOVE it...

 

Thats how it looked on my car

 

And without, i like it without to be honest!

My 1st gen looked like it was missin a lip, but this car flows nicely without IMO.


And that pulley looks good! Will have to invest in that when i get alittle bit more lee way with the mooulaa

 

i suggest NOT changing the tranny fluid, look it up on the forums, i didnt change it for the exact reason of advice i was given here, its said changing it can do more harm then good if it hasnt been changed in a while

my old front lip is broken so thats why it wasnt include, its garbage

 

no, you should change your tranny fluid. infact you should do a 3x3, the only thing you shouldnt do is a flush.

it doesnt make much sense to run our auto trannys with old, dark, burnt fluid. some people change the fluid every oil change~every 8-10k.

 

welcome. nice to see a new Toronto member

 

I heard its good to do it but not often*

ANd the lip is broken? Like in half?

 

Unlike the TL's foglights, the roadlamps are not wired to a switch from the factory. They turn on when the headlights are on.

 

Thanks man! I think we figured out why they arent turning on...they are burnt out ahaha

Cant wait to get clear them out and get some Yellow bulbs

 

 

Come, join the dark side......

 

Just being honest dude!


Your CL is alittle different, its not really a CL anymore! HAHA Its TEH CL!


Serously!!!2nd GEN FTW!
