Changing your tranny fluid is key to prolonging the life of the tranny, flushings is not recommended, but draining and filling won't hurt anything. I change my fluid every spring when I pull her out of the garage

98JDMCL

Thanks Chris! Good advice !

CLSspeedx

I definitely agree on changing the fluid (drain and fill, NO flush)... also I know on the honda autos a transmission cooler was recommended by my mechanic for a little extra help, I imagine it might help on these automatics as well. Very nice ride, congrats!

98JDMCL

thanks man!

trans cooler can do more harm than good. depending on where u live.

Minimum operating temperature is a must, and the cooler slows that process of getting there by a lot which can cause premature wear. and the cooler will only REALLY do it's job if u are WOT for a while and switching gears... IE on a track.

it's a waste of money I think. I was seriously inquiring on it and then after hearing all the pros and cons, it's just not worth the 200 and my time.... cause in the winter I'd have to REMOVE IT

98JDMCL

And you know that livin in T.O and sauga that it gets up to 32 maybe....no good for us! Freaking cold today eh man? HOLY!

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

Yea man, we are lucky where we live. we rarely ever get those HOT and smoggy days where the air is just THICK and u feel the car slacking.
And brakes don't warp as easily cause they can dissipate the heat quicker. Which is why I got DBA fronts and EBC rears and it's AWESOME now... really

shyt I didn't even notice ur local. verry nice.

definately need to be getting in a meet. I never gone to one b4 so, it'd be nice to check some of the other CLs out to see where I stand. LOL

keep the addiction alive.

But if ur looking for more power I'd get the pulley, the 09 TL SH-AW manifold(450est.) we are in canada, and P2R thermo gaskets and tb spacer(150USD on Excelerateperformance.com ).

98JDMCL

Really the 09 TL-SH manifold? Gives more power? Ill have to look into tthat man.


ANd yea the meets are awsome...i usually go to the acura/Toronto accord meets, im also a member of JDMrides.ca which is connected through honda tech and teknotics so i attend those shows all the time..

98JDMCL

Well ive been learning lots on here guys! Loving everyones cars! So much time went into alot of your rides, they all look great! Mine is away for the rest of the winter...got some things to do before summer hits...i did pull her out and cleaned the inside on a nice day and what not... Did alittle p-shop to the rims since there all rusty.





I'll be test fitting my rims hopefully tomorrow during my day off.

Thanks for the help so far guys!


I love the way the exhaust looks all blacked out!

98JDMCL

Took the CL out today just to get things moving alittle. Love this car!

find a sucker on kijiji to sell ur 1g too. :-p

98JDMCL

No lol thats my winter beater! ahah

In the summer ill put her forsale


1G is the nicest winter beater anyone can ask for...Heated leather seats,FWD,Bose sterio...should i go on? LOL She is low though, lower then the CL-S

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

ahh the cl-s is a perfect all season car bro.. u got traction control, vsa, fwd, heated seats, abs.. all that JAZ. hell u can start drving in 2nd gear if u want by throwing it in d2.

i love this car all year around. gonna drive it till the wheels fall off.

how many kms on ur car? what intersection do u live near? I live like 500meters from erin mills and QEW

for an 18yr old u got some nice wheels. must be a big saver... unlike me, blowing my $ on everything

98JDMCL

HAHA Actualyl my traction control is disabled off* Not sure why , previous owner told me that it is... thats will be fixed this summer.

Haha Also i have to get a bypass valve for the ColdAir if i wanna drive it in the winter.

There is 189,2XX at the moment...timing belt and water pump has been done

I live at Eglinton/Renforth area just right by cenntinal park area.


HAHA I work had and save hard LOL It's my 5th car though ahaa

Rajca

Fiy: if u put the car in d2, that doesn't mean its gonna start moving from second gear. Gonna start ant 1st and then go to 2nd and stay their until u upshift

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

no.. the car starts in 2nd gear is says in the manual (so a member claims (i don't read no instructions though LOL))

I thought the same thing until i was proven wrong by another member.

and dude... don't worry about a bypass valve, that's all people getting their panties in a bunch.

I had a probe with the CAI 4 inches from the ground with no deflector, protector... nothing!! it was sucking straight off the ground directly vertical (less than a 1.5ft long pipe) for 5 years STRAIGHT and not once did i run into a problem. I drove it all year round, and rain lol i didn't give a shit about no rain.

way i see it, if ur gonna run over a puddle and have problems, u'll have problems period

P.S if VSA is disabled is the 2nd throttle body under the hood?

u MAY have the 6 speed intake on ur car which is longer and uses up that space where the VSA used to be. some people remover the VSA throttle body cause they think it gives more power... who knows what the gains really are. but if that is the case, "fixing ur VSA" will require some parts

Bypass valves are a JOKE, u need to completely submerge ur intake in water for it to WORK... what good is that!!!!

don't waste ur money.

Sorry it's not D2 it's 2... there is only d3, d4, and d5... 1 and 2 are single gears... guaranteed rajca. unless u got some freak of nature lol

98JDMCL

Haha i remember Miro was telling me its disabled because they previous owner did something for more power... WoW i likey ahaha

And for the gearing, im sorry i cant help you two out, i dont tip it or anything, im afraid of these trannies to the max ahah

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

Ill try out the 2nd gear thing after work on my tl. I know that my 6spd cl will start out in 3rd lol

98JDMCL

6spd

iTrader: (2)

we gotta line our cars up dotCCL ^
you best be coming to the track this spring

personally i think vsa delet is like 3-5hp at MOST and that's being generous.

I'd rather have the added traction in shitty weather and have a fuly functional car than delete something for unnoticeable gains... that's just me tho.

98JDMCL

Yeah i want the traction too!

The power is meh...im not into speed im into looks and style.

LoL Im pretty sure your car would rape mine head to toe. But im in photography so i can take great pics of your car if you want with mine ahah

iTrader: (2)

lol sure... i'll get my other buddy in his mustang bullitt the one in the video (dunno if u seen it)

http://s848.photobucket.com/albums/a...nt=VideoDJ.flv

now u have

My buddy was quite impressed that my car put up that much of a fight. even with all my mods,

that car has 270hp 300+ TQ. Stock and is standard. and is 3250lbs

So i'm happy all things considered.

go for a cruise somewhere mapped out through the middle of nowhere :-) stop off at different points

98JDMCL

You had him in the start ahaha

A little bit of spray will fix his ass.

iTrader: (2)

whose ass? lol

u talking about the vid?

richardparker

iTrader: (7)

yea the vid.
You would smoke him with some spray

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

yea that shit is illegal in canada, it's a controlled substance. so unless u got hook ups and are willing to take the risk (neither of which I am) then it's plausible

98JDMCL

Yeah 1st off its illegal here and they will give you the death penlaty( just joking) and 2nd there is better ways to get "natural power" then "spray"

If you werent natuarlly aspirated you would of took him for sure.

Either way just think a V6 had a Gt 4.6L off the bat...if that was a redlight race he would be left wondering

CL-S progression 01

iTrader: (2)

he and i both got a shitty start... the road was moist and the pavement was trash. it's all good

the car has 270hp, 305 TQ... is standard and weighs only 3250lbs!!! so yea I did alright I think :-) I'm more than happy with the result bro

richardparker

iTrader: (7)

not as cheap.
Sorry to hear it illegal there.
I can't see going without it now.
good race man

if i had a full cat back and the new high flow cat... i wonder how even it would have been? :-) damnit

98JDMCL

Who said you cant try again dude?

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

spray might be illegal where the op is. but as long as the bottle(s) are closed,or is it disconnected, ur good to go. its not diff than a turbo or sc. all 3 add power in some way. all 3 and their ups and downs, all 3 are good. but nitrous is the cheapest way to get lots of power. then it lies in the tuning to keep ur block together.

98JDMCL

I rather supercharge if anything to be honest...sounds sick, adds good power and isnt illegal were we at lol

Rajca

iTrader: (8)

i prefer turbo with a hint of nitrous. thats what im building now
