My new car is here
Well my cl type s 6 speed arrived via truck yesterday.
To bad the weather in Canada sucks, no traction what so ever with the car.
It was great to finally get it, took the plastic off the interior, exterior etc, and it had .9 kms on it when it arrived. This has got to be close to the end of the production line for the cl's 6 speeds.
Anyhow, looking to install and icebox and rear sway bar once she hits 1500 kms.

It didn't totally cure the wheel hop but it made a huge difference in the way the front bites when turning into a corner. I like to do solo II also but I haven't tried this car yet.

What i find works for wheel hop is to install poly engine mounts. Worked for the gsr and talon. May just deal with the hop though, don't need three cars that vibrate your teeth out....
