Just wanted to introduce myself as i am new to the forum. I drive a 01 acura cl as my daily driver and my 86 porsche turbo as my fun car. Anyone else in the colorado area?

 

let me be the first to say welcome and let the modding begin!

 

i would start modding right of way but i am afraid once i start modding it then it will become unreliable. I was thinking about doing a couple of smaller bolt on things but nothing major.

 

Welcome and have fun. dont worry about it being unreliable. Just keep your tranny fuild changed often.

 

welcome to the board, i'm sure you'll feel right at home

 

the car has about 82k on it now and i have no idea if the tranmisison fluid has been change. recently i had a oil change and the guy said that my tranny fluid was filthy so i am assuming that the tranny fluid is a big deal on these cars. I called acura up to yesterday and i guess my car was never taken in for an inspection for the recall so i have to make an appointment for that too.

 

welcome to the forum, check OFF TOPIC at the top of the page, one of the guys from CO is trying to get a meet together up in denver.

 

i finally found it and posted over there

 

is your CL a Type S? and if so, how bad would you think the kraut burner would own the CL?

 

Welcome to AZ! Now hide your wallet!

Glad you got a chance to make it over to the Meets section.

 

its just a cl but trust me the CL type S wouldn't have a chance either against the kraut burner. Right now with the boost not turned up it makes 300+rwhp and only weighs like 2800 pounds. The motor is getting completely redone during the spring as well as a paint job etc.. which it should be around 400rwhp++ easy

 

Welcome and

 

Welcome

 

i will have to take some pics of the Acura maybe today when i get home from work. And for the other car i have pics at www.cardomain.com/id/daniel951

So far i don't have anything really done to the CL except for a stereo. It does have all the options except for navigation

 

Nice 9. Are those IS300 wheels? They look exactly like them.

 

no they are 18x9 Voxx Froza's. I think they discontinued them at least for my car they did. I am still the only other 944 turbo i have seen with them

 

Welcome, and nice choice

 

Yea the tranny is a big deal. A lot of guys on here have had some problems, but knock on wood I have not. I change my tranny fluid every other oil change to be safe. Just get acura to do the updates and you should be good. Good luck and enjoy here.

 

well this week it is going for an inspection and i will change the tranny fluid at the same time to be safe

 

welcome.... as one other person said.. keep tranny fluid changed.. fyi.. ours uses a special fluid,, no matter what anyone says.. talk to acura dealer.. there trans fluid change is cheap and they use the right stuff.. its not worth the risk to use anything else.. U got a great car BTW... I love mine..

 

oh yeah.. get a aem cai.. it sounds fuckin great and is the best upgrade for the money... If u do.. get the bypass.. lots of people say they lose hp with it. but i dynoed with and without.. 3 hp difference... not worth the chance of replacing the engine.. HAVE FUN!!!

 

how is the AEM CAI. If its expensive i rather just leave the car alone

 

The AEM CAI is about $200 to $250. You can also go the route of the Comptech Icebox. I like those better. Looks more stock and doesn't sound as loud as the AEM.

And Welcome.

 

I have an Injen CAI that I got thru the Black Market for pretty cheap. Sounds mostly stock when you don't run it hard aside for the slight "hisss". The "hisss" is usually louder when the car is cold but once it warms up, it's not that noticable. When you nail the throttle and run it up thru vtec, the car sounds simply wicked. I also notice a bit of increased power and definitely better throttle response. I love it. Let me know if you want to check it out sometime. I could meet you in the Springs somewhere.

 

Welcome to the forum...

I've been keeping my CLS stock too... but I guess I need a fun car

 

i will have to take u up on that offer sometime because i would like to hear what it sounds like. Update on my car i took it in for an inspection and the 2nd gear was discolored i guess so they ordered me a new tranny so the car is still up in colorado springs waiting for a tranny. Since i am not 25 they can't give me a loaner car so for now i am borrowing my parents cars.
