how can the cl have less cargo weight when it has teh same power train?

 

Powertrain doesnt matter, suspension and tire ratings do.

 

Rajca just try if it does fit or it doesn't

NOW !!!!!!!

 

I'm pretty interested if they fit or not too,wouldn't mind being able to relax in the back hahah

 

 

A cot mattress will fit. i bet most of the replies in this thread are from ppl who live with their parents

 

too mad to even look at the tl. i ripped the bumper right off the car bc i needed to replace the ballast . o well. now i got two piece

 

another thing. cl only have two seat belts in teh back. so one passenger is gonna be unlucky in an accident.

 

i for one live my parents

 

well heres my solution to the seatbelt problem. after the two other people put their seatbelt on you arm lock with the other people. OOH YEAA !!!

 

^lol

the middle person is gonna have fun skiing.

 

If you take a look at the link I posted to the other thread, one idea was to take the middle belt for a TL and use it in the CL. That thread got locked because everyone agreed it wouldn't make sense to exceed the cargo capacity, but if any of you are seriously considering this, you could probably look into that as an option.

 

i pretty much disagree with them arguing about the weight problem and making it an huge issue.

first of all, ur not gonna have 5 people back there all the time.

If the weight limit is 750, i'm guessing an average person prolly weighs around 150 or more. ofcourse chicks weigh a lot less. 150x5 = 750.

only one person originally posted about the weight problem and only one agreed to it. carrying 5 people in ur car will not really hurt ur car's suspension unless every one is a fat ass. in that case ud know better not to carry that many people.

I'd only agree with the weight issue if u were gonna carry fat asses constantly.

other than that its not even a minor issue

 

Like I said man, it's your car. The car has lots of care instructions, I'm sure you can get away with changing your oil every 10k and running 87 octane, but why? But as a point of reference, that "one" person was Mr. Steve. He was one of the gurus on this board until he moved on...

Also 150 is a little guy, not an average one. You can't have been serious about that one...

 

Try to get 3 200lb people in the back seat I would be like a clown car

 

i dont even think 3 people sitting in the back would even be comfortable. 2 people sitting back there is fairly comfortable 3 is pushing the limits because the cl has arm rest on both sides in the back seat i dont think the chair will fit.

 

why would you even wanna drive 3 in the back? wasting gas man hahah

 

wtf it is not about 2 or 3 ppl on the back seat. it is about get ride off that plastic thing between back seats. i dont care if somebody wants to put tere 4 or 5 ppl. thing is does the tl bench fit our CL?

Rajca can you do that for us?

 

im pretty sur it has to matter about carrying more people because you wanna take it out... IMO if it didnt matter how many people just leave it alone... not being a ass or anything im just saying..

 

ill look at it today after work since i need to fix the fucking tl anyway

 

You're preaching to the choir on that one, all I said was it wouldn't be a straight swap, and I was afraid it might be too wide

 

u have a carbon trunk? from where how much?
delete rear seat its tooooo heavy

 

ebay, but buy the vis hood and trunks only. but the trunk has a fitment problem. civic is still working on figuring it out

 

u look at this yet ?

 

+1

 

no. i crashed the tl on monday so im fixing it right now

 

well if anyone in toronto wants to swap with a tl, send a msg

 

pics or it didnt happend xD

 

i didnt take pics. i got pics of the bent control arm and what. and now i need a knuckle

 

blew both pass side tires, shock is garbage, upper control arm is garbage. lower control arm is in teh shape of a banana (should be straight), radius rod is bent, inner fender liner is garbage, fender is bent a bit, axle is garbage, need a knuckle, sway bar is bent, and both rims are bent

this is the lower control arm, top is new. bottom is old bent one

 

wow must be a bad accident...

 

no accident. just took my eyes off the road for 3 sec then hit something in teh road, caused my car to go right and hit the curb.

 

Why not just remove the rear seat console and make a cushion that fits the spot and wrap it in leather.

 

me and david tried it yesterday and it doesnt work. the TL seat is too wide and you will have to cut off about 4 inches off of each side to even make it fit

 

ohhhh got ya. Thanks for testing this

 

Do you guys think it might work to remove the rear center armrest and replace that with a rear center cushion from the TL?

 

The rear center cushion from a TL is built into the entire bench. If youre hell bent on getting a seat in that spot, just have a pan made to bolt into the stock center console holes and have an upholstry shop make a seat for it. You wont have seatbelts though.

 

Or buy a TL!

 

make the seat custom.
Strip both lowers down to the frame .
Get some metal sticks same size or bigger.(lowes got them)
assuming you have the rear center compartment outout.
Reinstall botoms and weld the basic shape you want.
then on the edge of the front and rear make two sticks boardering the edge about 1 1/2" apart.
One will be so the upholster can wrap the edge and the inner one will be to hook your material.
I did this with my back seat.
Notice how I wanted it around the box that would be where the upholsterer would pull the material to make it tight.
And the inner one gets hooked from the back.
