Welcome to the site.

RPJCL

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I'm located in Northern California in the Chico area. The car is the one from the link in Concord so the price was $7991. I went through a dealer because I still had a loan on my truck and I wanted to trade it in.

First thing I'm doing is a tune-up, window tint and some lowering. After that intake, exhaust and some rims. That'll be as far as I go with modding . I have an 91 MR2 with a V6 swap I'm just finishing and most of my extra modding income goes to that.

I've owned a Legend coupe 6 speed before so this isn't my first Acura but I've been driving toyotas mostly with my MR2 and the truck I traded in which was an 06 Tacoma X-Runner.

Update: So I started "modding" already. Removed the Sunroof wind deflector and blacked out the chrome moulding. Oh yeah, got my first speeding ticket in 13yrs.

Newb question: Do all 98-02 V6 Accord intakes fit the CLS 6 Speed, and if so is it plug n play as in vacuum hoses or anything else. The reason I ask is because I'd like a CARB legal intake but I'm not looking to spend $200+ on basically piping and a filter when the funds can be put to other things. I came across the DC Sports intake and was wondering if it would work.

NO on the intakes, the 98-02 accord intakes are about 3-5 inches short near the throttle body, you will need a extension, you can buy them at pep boys for about 5-10 bucks, that is what I did and ran my own short ram.

And good luck finding still carb legal for a rather somewhat old car, may be a pain in the ass.

looking f'n sweet! congratulations. I just bought one yesterday myself.

How did you black out the trim?

RPJCL

Thanks ketamu, I've only had my car for a week and I can't stop driving it. I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase.


I used this: http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...0298&ppt=C0101

I don't know if they make a 3/4" wide tape but if I find it I'll probably do it over. The one linked is to wide you'll need a box cutter to cut it to fit right.

RPJCL

OperationDarkie, I forgot to thank you for that info. DC Sports makes an intake that is supposedly CARB legal and cheap.

Also I refinished my headlights and plasti dipped my front grill. I'll probably take the grill apart and redo it, it was my first time plasti dipping anything and I think I could do better but it still looks alright.

Headlights look nice. I like the subtle "modding". Keep it up man.
