I like uploading them to photobucket.com.

Car looks clean though. Nice pick up. Any plans?

 

Welcome to the site... you CLS looks great and really clean... Love to hear what plans you have for her, if any

 

Welcome

 

Yeah, I've always really liked cars and know quite a big about most. Since I've been on here I think I've got a few plans for this summer - Underdrive Pulley, Lowering Springs,new wheels and tires, and CT icebox intake. What do you guys think? any ideas ?

 

welcome to AZ

 

lol, I picked up my CL-S like a day after the original owner sold it to them. They hadn't even had a chance to detail it yet...

 

I know someone thats selling a mint set of Tein Basics. Hes also got the camber kits if you want them.

 

What part of ohio u from?

 

Sounds like a great start! Good luck, and remember to post pics. I've had my CL several months now, but primarily had to concentrate on timing belt stuff and brakes for starters. Keep in mind that according to "age" your timing belt is coming due. I know you hardly have any mileage on her, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in on whether the "age" of the belt is as important as the mileage on it.

 

I haven't noticed much difference since I put the pulley on but I don't drive it much so I guess the jury's still out until I put another tank of gas in it. IMO for 50 bucks and an hours worth of install time, do it right meow.

Btw, it's looking clean. I hate cars that've been modded incorrectly and mickey moused back together. Seems like you got one that's not.

 

oh man i started modding my car when I signed on to this site. And I bought my car completely stock. And I blew the trans and I had to do the timing belt, and I did some interior mods... BIG $ spent lol

It's a disease.. a good one

 

Yeah its a good one..expensive as fawk lol

 

Yeah i'm hoping that with only 35,000 miles I wont need a new tranny soon, but with these dumb CL's ya never know! I live right outside of Akron Ohio too.

 

Be easy on her!

 

fuck that... enJOY the ride in all the ways you can :-p

 

If you're interested in coilovers:

Thanks for looking out for me, but I dont even have a job right now so I cant buy anything good til this summer! haha but I think i'm just gonna do springs, I like the way the car drives too much for CO's

 

just out of curiosity (not til spring) but with headers on our cars, i've read an added estimated 30+ hp which would be great, but does it also make the exhaust louder? Id be ok with it being a little louder but I dont wanna make it sound like a rice-rocket. Thanks again guys!

 

it might be closer to 20 hp, but it is the best hp gain for the cl besides FI.

 

does it change the sound of the exhaust?...I've read that comptech and DC are probably the 2 best as far as brand goes Correct ?

 

congratz on the car man and welcome

 

It changes the tone slightly, but its not rice-rocket sounding.

 

welcome... and nice find.. i thought i got a good find... i got my 03 with like 74k

 

Nice find. It looks clean on the exterior is the inside nice and clean as well? Also, it could never hurt to do basic stuff like an oil change, fuel injector cleaner and maybe even Seafoam it. It is gonna be sexy with the mods you listed IMO. good luck

 

headers give the car a HARDCORE punch... in power and in sound.

THERE is no way you will not like the sound of adding headers. it's quiet but loud when u throttle it. fucking beautiful it IS

 

I think id go all out for tein coilovers instead of just springs alone. Matters how much you wanna drop it and if the stock shocks can hold up tho.

 

Thanks guys, yeah i think i might have to look into headers also this summer/spring.

 

i'm looking at getting aftermarket HID bulbs for my car, what comes standard in the type s ? I'm thinking about getting 6000k http://www.hidkit.com/Acura-CL-HID-Kits/ let me know what you guys think !
