im new to this whole thing and upgrades in general. I have a 2001 cl types stock. I wanna make it faster but i dont want to spend a shitload. Im hoping to keep it under a grand. Any ideas on what i can do would be greatly appreciated. Also id anyone has already made modifications on this car and can give me any advice that too would be great. thank you, Alex G

 

you could start by reading the noob threads to educate yourself so you dont get flamed for making stupid threads like these.

^^ that one is in GIANT YELLOW letters on the first page.

 

^^^Good call!

 

Man, do I miss the 2002 guys

 

 

Not all of us are this typically noobish

 

checked out all the pages and pages of information and didnt find what i was looking for. istill looking for useful information....

 

Check all our threads about performance...make decisions and go from there. There are a lot of 2nd Gen CLers that are throwing down some really good numbers to the wheels. If you stick around long enough you'll see their numbers in their signatures.

 

Under a grand ? Lets see ?

tb spacers $101
crank pully $95
ct intake $300
non ct headers $250
mugen cooling mods $200
ground wires $30

The smile on your face every time you stomp on the gas

PRICELESS

 

OK, before we all go nuts with all the people who want to post "search," what are you interested in. Be specific.



The best performance mod is the Super Charger or Turbo. Both are expensive.

The next best thing, the one I recommend are headers. The Comptech ones are best, but are more expensive. Look at the XS ones. They are pretty good.

Next....Intake. Comptech's Icebox is the one I liked most. It's not as loud as the AEM, and you get a tiny bit more power from it. The AEM's or Injen are also pretty good.

Pulley. UR are best.

Other cheap mods include Thermoblok Spacers.

 

Headers, Springs, and Struts are the best bangs for the buck IMHO...

I'm still stock, but if I was going to mod my car, those would be on the top of my list... (along with a mesh grille).

Me too... Scribby, ShawnS, Scalbert, Jonesi, Smitty, Chapatorial, ChefChris, etc etc etc don't come around here no more...

 

When are you going to mod your car?

Dont be shy.

 

I've got a K&N drop in bish

I don't think I'm going to mod it... If I end up keeping it, I really should mod it, but I don't know how long I'm going to keep it...

As soon as I throw a couple of grand into it, I know that acura will come out with a new coupe, and I'm thinking my mod money would be better spent on a downpayment...

I probably should just keep the CL around indefinitely as a winter better (it's just such a great all around car), and buy something older/sporter to mod (s2k, old porsche, etc)

 

All you need.

Almost all questions to questions can be found by searching. Thats how the "Official 2nd Gen info" thread was made.

Here's a hint... Type in something silly like "headers" or "dyno" in the search function and you'll be amazed at what you might find. After all, this is usually a pretty quick moving forum and it's been here a year or two...

Good luck.

headers, pulley and intake.

 

I know, I just like giving you a hard time

One of these days you'll hit the bandwagon train of the aftermarket part industry. It'll suck you dry.

 

I know, they moved on.. Goodbye Greenie, I'm posting up my car for sale

JK, not yet any way

 

<-- still here.

 

Sup man, what do you plan on doing when you hit 100k?

 

you suck too.


JK.

 

Yeah, I knew you were joking... Didn't you just get your 6spd this year ??

 

Intake and DC sports header good for 300hp at the crank

 

I think around September last year. Just renewed my registration.
