This is my 2001 acura cl type s . I bought the car off my friend earlyer this year because i needed a daily driver.
Im starting this thread to show how the car has come along and let me know what you think. I will continue building it but slowly because im also trying to finish my other project.

 

Congrats on the pick up.

 

Thanks

 

Looks good ,list some mods .

 

not really sure whats going on in pics, one has a CF hood then it looks replaced with factory. im not a big fan of the painted factory wheels or roof. i like black roofs on cars that have squared rear glass, ours are rounded so the black roof doesnt flow right. i would have taken the paint past the drip rail and made a clean edge from the rear glass to windshield. yes more work but in the end it would look better. (is it wrapped or plastidip?) not sure about what youve done with the badges. looks like your acura is from a first gen TL on the left. not sure why you moved the typeS.

 

the first pic with the carbon fiber hood was before the car got painted . it still has the carbon fiber hood on it just painted it was done to give it more of a sleeper look by the previous owner. The roof is dry carbon wraped and the car is a matte gray. didnt know the acura badge was from a first gen tl and the type s badge i never knew it was moved i thought it was suppose to be like that . thanks for letting me know . i bought the car with the badges already like that.

 

mods are Eibach prokit, aem cold air intake, p2r thorttle body spacer with thremal gaskets and intake manifold gasket, comptech headers,comptech mufflers, and 2.5inch piping to 2.25 into the mufflers, and test pipe, trans cooler

 

Congrats!

 

You painted the cf hood?

 

the previous owner did not me

 

Well that's unfortunate , carbon would have loked better imo .

You should get 03 lights , or paint yours yourself . Make the car stand out more .

 

Sorry, misread that

 

thinking about getting innovative mounts soon what do you guys think?

 

I got the innovative motor mounts and installed them 3 days ago. dam they made a big difference . Also my stock mounts were shot they fell apart when i took them out. I will post pics in a bit

 

How is it beter ?
Quicker
less wheel spin
what exactly.

I just installed mine too but,have yet to drive it.

 

alot faster acceleration, puts all the power to ground now, reduced wheel hop, the shifts feel better now to, and i have the 75a bushing

 

here are the pics

 

That's what I got too.
Let me ask you this...
Does your rear mount bolt seam a little short on yours compared to the front ?
mine is.
Also do the instuctions tell you ft lbs for the bushing bolts ?

 

What's the price on the innovative mounts, I need to replace mine but I'm going I wait till I pull the motor to put a 3.5 in

 

The hardware it came with was to short for the front and rear mounts so i just went to the store and bought longer bolts. Mine didnt come with instructions

 

I got mine for a really great deal new and shipped for $200
but they average from 290-350 depending where you get them from

 

 

Just got my new wheels Enkei Rpf1 17x8 +45 offset

 

Get some center caps and than nicely done .

 

yea i want the center caps. hopefully get them in the next few weeks. and also new lug nuts but dont know which ones to get, to many good choices.

 

Congrats on the pick up ! Nice Wheels !

 

Just picked up my cusco strut tower bar and my cusco under brace. will post picks tomorrow

 

I just broke my tie bar the other day . Good thing you're not low .

 

dam that sucks. were did it break at? im gonna install mine in a little while shouldnt take no more then 10-20 mins. then ill post some pics. yea good thing im not that low

 

Very nice wheels!

 

Thanks

 

 

It grinded all the way threw in the middle

 

dam

 

Just a little update . i have black housed my headlights, changed my intake setup to a 3.5 inch intake now and removed my vsa throttle body and put the mdx intake manifold spacer and added a cut out to my exhaust

 

^ sounds good, now we need pics.

 

 

also added a hyper ground system grounding kit

 

Nice Man! I have that same IM spacer. Did you notice more power after installing that? Because I know I did...

 

Looks good
