welcome

don't be a stranger to the second gen TL side, we've got the same engines

 

And the same CRAPPY transmissions!

 

 

hey man have an 01 myself this is an excellent resource for information nothing you cant find, good luck with you new baby

 

Thanks everyone! I just jumped from Nissan to Acura. I think that's a good jump. I had a 96 Maxima which I did enjoy very much; but wanted something better looking and a bit more "luxurious" I guess you can say. As far as mods; I'm not planning much right now. Only thing I'm thinking for now is tinted windows & maybe a 2" drop and rims eventually. Other than that I don't think I'm going to do too much to it (for now).

 

That's what they all say....

 

Yep, I told myself the same thing 6 years ago when I bought mine! And I ha ve been thru 3 suspensions, 4 sets of rims, 3 different audio set-ups, 2 paint jobs, and the list goes on and on and on! LOL, good luck, have fun, nad most importantly....BE SAFE!

 

^^ this is from a guy who has a mountain of parts/mods ready to be installed in his apartment! nways, welcome to Azine Robert!

 

I would probably do some mods; but I have my 16 month at home that I gotta keep money for and the wife & I are planning on the second one soon. So............no not yet. I don't count it out; but for now (atleast another 1 or 2 years) there wont be anything done unless it's simple & cheap things. lol

 

 

Important mods:

Drop!
Headers
Intake
Pulley
Rear Sway bar.

Have fun man.

 

Yea I def have the drop in mind! Everything else will have to wait. I'll try & do the drop & rims together at the same time.

 

welcome!

and if you can only do 1 mod, drop it!

 

Drop > Wheels.

But if you can afford to both at one time...the effect is more dramatic.

I did wheels first and that really hurt the car's handling and performance...IMO.

Would have dropped first if I had to do it again.

 

Welcome to the money pit.

Buy some headers.

 

Get the mid-muffler removed!!!! lol $40 to make your commuting a little bit more enjoyable

 

Why's it make commuting more enjoyable?

 

very ez mod...take out your intake resonator...

 

what does that do, and the advantage of taking it off?
thanks.

 

gives you a little bit more 'sound' between 2-3K rpm, which is normally communiting area for most.
Kinda makes your exhaust give off a tone like the G35 and/or 350Z, if you like that sound that is

if you're asking about the intake resonator, it just makes the car sound like am F! car when you get in the VTEC zone!

 

Does that effect emissions or make the check engine light come on?

 

NO problems with emissions and definetly no "check engine light", no wires connected to the mid-muffler....all it is there for is extra sound- deadening.

 

this is for the intake resonator, its the poor mans CAI, it should be the same for the CL

No need to remove the bumper. Just pull back the fender liner and unbolt it. Thats how I installed my Icebox.

 

just like what cl-sa mentioned, no cel no weird lights..just a deeper tone when u get to v-tec area in powerband...nice simple ez mod imo...plus, no cost to you! LOL

 

You'll have to show me how to do that...ol' wise one!

 

i took my resonator off when i got the car. i hit vtec atleast 3x a day. gas is still pretty cheap, gotta take advantage of it.

 

Guess I'll have to look into that.

 

Rob welcome to Azine. Yea i would do the drop over rims though because some cars with the right stockies and a drop are sick

 

Welcome to the Forum !! Check out the links in my signature...

 

hahahahaha...old? yes..wise? aw helllll no!! LOL but yea, no prob hey-suse, we can actually do that when you go to dennis' for the fender rolling session

 

^ Sweet!
