My new 02 CL
I just purchased a 02 Acura Cl a few weeks ago that's a pretty clean car. The car has 128k miles on it and I got it for a pretty good price. I replaced the timing belt and water pump, power steering belt and the ac/alternator belt. Flushed the coolant, power steering fluid and replaced the plugs. This past weekend I did the rotors and pads in the front they needed it pretty bad. I did 3x2 transmission flush and in a few more miles I'll be doing another one. My son has a 01 I got for him last September. I'm happy to be apart of this forum, have found some pretty good info on here. I got some rsx wheels for it but didn't like the way it looked. I'll save them for the 5 lug on the EF.

Welcome! sounds like you're on top of the maintenance. They're pretty great cars aside from the auto trans that can be hit or miss. Blue is a great colour too. Both need some lowering springs!

Great ride. I've got a 03 CL. At 135k I had to adjust the valves as I was getting random cyl misfires, and a bit of a rough idle when cold, a bit better when warm but not totally smooth. The #4 exhaust valves has almost NO clearance, and most valves where way out of spec loose(intake) or tight (exh). After the valve adjustment the engine idles smooth as a baby's butt!!
I have an 07 Pilot, same exact findings, valves adjusted at 160k, smooth as silk after, random misfires gone.
