I came from a Civic EG, lowered on springs, and the rest stock to '03 CLS 6MT.

Manual steering for the win!

That blue car ain't mine. It was just a joke. Those wheels are sick though.

Well, first I had a B16/ITR trans Mineral gray EG hatch...
Then, I had an all motor H22A 95 Accord Coupe, White with carbon Hood and trunk
Here is the engine bay...



Then in between I had a built ZC turbo black spray-painted CRX and a red/copper pearl Del Sol.

Then a 6 speed K20A type R powered EP hatch






And Now...6 speed Navi

You're right, I don't think I could EVER convince myself that buying an A3, S3, RS3, Mazdaspeed3, R32, GTI, AE86 trueno, Civic Type R, Integra GS-R, Integra Type-R, old gen celica/supra, or countless other hatchbacks are worthy of purchase.

There's more to cars than just how they look.

I wasn't posting those as competing cars against the CL. Just to point out that just because a car is a hatchback doesn't mean it's a bad car. There are a lot of hot cars out there that are hatchbacks and their performance, not just their looks would be the convincing factor in purchasing a car, hatchback or not.

P.S. A chipped A3 can give a CL a run for it's money.

I still wouldn't want any of those hatchbacks...there are much better looking cars for the same amount of money with equal or better performance...except for the supra

Lets see...It looks hard and i had a bad ass motor built for it, and i smoked anything less than an EVO. I loved that car, you can't hate on anything with a K series, hatchback or not. Hatchbacks have a classic honda look to them. The design has carried on since the 70s and they bring more JDM styling than any other honda coupes. I would probably love any hatchback honda made...but i guess its all about personal preference...
Just dont hate on my beast!!

lady was making a left across the intersection, i was going straight. Light for me was green her light was red. She thought the light going straight (parallel) to me turned green and went. She ran the red. I hit her from an angle which made her car spin around me and her rear end hitting the rear passenger door. All in all, nobody was critically injured. Just a bruised shoulder from the seat belt pulling back. Don't know why my airbags didn't deploy.

Turbocharged 1993 Mazda Protege



Probably a pretty different one from the rest out there.
It was fun, and probably faster than the CL-S but I got tired of it being my only car and having to commute to work and back. It wasnt exactly the most reliable piece of machinery out there. lol.

Owner of clubprotege.com bought the car from me. and 3 days later it looked like this:




and thats the only pic I have as of current (it's the silver one).

Hey that protege is a pretty sweet sleeper!

Is the windshield of your CL like mirror tinted or something? Or is that just the lighting?

Probably the lighting lol.

The protege is a sleeper, and it was was anything but comfortable to drive on a daily basis, but I did love the car.. just grew out of it.

and since Im in such a nostalgic mood.

before the protege:
I sold it due to financial issues at the time and a sick family member that I wanted to see halfway across the world



98 accord, with omnipower coilovers, HID, Axis rims (that I never got around to painting silver, and other grains of rice that might not have remembered since its been 2+ years now. ) Only sold it for $2500! but enough for the protege and a plane ticket to Taiwan.

So now, I figured the CL-S was everything I wanted in that accord, so I went ahead with it after being unsatisfied with the 03 Accord 4cyl I originally intended to buy.

Hey thanks, very much! I had full interrior and my best time was a 14.000 @ 101 MPH. That was on a low launch that i almost stalled, too. I was kind of mad that it was .001 from breaking into the 13s, haha. When i was building the motor i had a del sol with a roll cage and was trying to decide which car to put it in, of course i regret my choice, but it was a much cheaper swap in the EP and a better daily driver. I miss that car and especially that swap!!!

Here is what I posted on dragtimes.com:
