CLS without Actuator = no balls...

 

It just amazes me that a 55 dollar part is SO necessary for the car, in terms of horsepower. You'd think it'd be more complicated than that.

 

Good the hear that Spiro....enjoy the extra power!!

 

Mine is on order, should be in on Monday. The dealership is also fixing the winshield wiper streak, sunroof rattle, and a heated seat...
Meanwhile, they gave me a RSX as a loaner....It's a lot nicer than
I thought, but still far from the CL, especially the suspension...
One thing I like about the RSX is the SS mode, it lets you downshift into 1st gear, and doesnt automatically shift from 1st into 2nd, even when I dont floor it...I wonder why it's not like that on the CL ...
Anyway, I am glad that this board exists, without it I would've been driving a CL-P for another 2 years... :P

 

Good to hear everything is going to work out for you. EricL saves the day once again...Eric Type S!
