Hi everyone..just making my first appearance to the CL board. Just recieved my CL-S 6spd.. Traded in my 00 S2000. I know you probably say why..but they have too many problems. If they ever get the bugs out for the new version in 05 i may think about one again.but until then..the torque'g is ON.. Again its nice to be here. Can wait to meet some of you near Wilmington. Oh my CL is the Seaten Blue..or what ever its called..its blue..haha..only one in wilmington .

Congrats and good luck

What didn't u like abt ur s2K?


p.s. Go get some better tires NOW!

 

you think the S2K has too many bugs... ...anyway, i still wish i had a 6 spd...nice car, nice color...congrats..

 

welcome to the club The car is awesome!!!!!

 

Are you trying to say AEGEAN BLUE PEARL?

 

congrats!!! You will love it! (and it's more practical than an S2K)

 

Nice color. I've got 320 miles on my CLS 6spd (picked it up last Thursday), and I can't wait to get the engine broken in (~600 miles??).

Congrats,

 

Congrats!

 

Nice...congrats and enjoy the ride!

 

Welcome to the forum.

 

Thank you everyone. The S2k had soo many problems for me..new tranny 3 clutches...and Diff.. My mom told me to get something more practical and that she'd help me out. So I went out to Honda not knowing what else to get. The recommented the Acura CL-S 6spd. So i drove one..it was awesome. Had a silver one all day today. Pic up my car tomorrow morning. They are putting the spoiler on and Sunroof Visor. Now i want to do Springs. Does HR make some...thats all ive every used on my prelude and S. Thanks for all the kick ass welcomes. hope to be at a meet near you soon.

Des,

 

Welcome dude, you'll get alot of help here Now go get some headers and better rubber, and some sways and..........

 

Welcome aboard, too bad about the stook.
According to some people here, believe AztecRol, HR and Koni Yellows is a very good setup. If you got the cash, please go with Tein SS coilovers.

 

Welcome aboard dude. The S2000 is an awesome car. the only reason I didn't get it was the fact that it's just a bit too impractical, and with some simple bolt on's are cars can TAKE an S2000 on the interstate.

 

Congrats and enjoy the ride

 

Congradulations and welcome. How different do you find the clutch on your new CLS as compared to the S2000?

 

Congrats and I'm envious of all of you. Yes even the Cl-P's

 

Congrats!

I often go through Wilmington on I-95. Do something about those nasty bears there.

 

congrats! get the checkbook ready cuz we got all KINDS of things to do to your car!

 

Clutch isnt as fast...on takeup.. On the CL there seems to be a delay from when you take your foot of the clutch.to the time when the power gets to the wheels..very strange..but i love the torque. As far as Wilmington being on I95.we arent on I95..and we dont have bears..we are on the Coast..just north of Myrtle Beach, SC. We are the city that hurricane Fran, Floyde, Bertha and gordon hit.. We are having a tropical storm as we speak. Love the car. took delivery today.

 

Congratulations on your purchase. Me thinks you will love it.

I find the clutch grabs too fast. Obviously OK for hard driving, but for relaxed city driving it is too grabby. I like it when there is no hint that I changed gears (smoother than an auto), and with this clutch you have to be just about perfect to achieve that. As for the delay I am not sure I understand. Shift above 3-4K and it is smooth sailing. But while breaking it in, be nice OK.

 

How long is the breakin period on the CL...it was 1k i think on he S.

 

Congrats. Its a great car. Enjoy it.

 

Sunroof visor will cut down on the size of the opening which IMO, is too small already. Congrats on your purchase and welcome aboard.

 

I agree, my one big complaint: moonroof is way too small compared to the monstrous one in my previous S4.

 

Maybe they can solve the sunroof problem by making a convertible??

 

Congrats!! Bang those gears!
