nice, i think it has the rear bar because i saw it was silver with red bushings. Pretty sure the bpipe is stock, because i could notice the axlebacks had some shine to them still, but the bpipe didn't. Oh well, good enough for now.

pretty sure it does. It's hard to get a good look at it. It's not at my house right now and it so snowy here.

The guy said it's running on 6psi, but i have a feeling it's just the normal 3psi that comes with the kit. I'll have to measure the pullies to make sure. IMRC is still connected. Here are a few pics after i cleaned it up.

Not a fan of the silver bits.

Is that a boost gauge I see on the pillar? What does it say at WOT at high rpm?

Looks good man but I think the dash kit is a bit bright for my tastes.

ya i'm not feeling the dash either. it acutally does look better in person, but i still prefer the oem look. I'm going to see how hard it is to take off in the spring.

The weather has really prevented me from getting on it, so i'll have to check the boost gauge when it's dryer. It's kinda hard to read and its my first boosted car, so i'm not used to reading it. a/f seems good....running slightly rich. Have a one piece dual pilar coming to clean it up.

Acura Pedals!

Did you have to drill to install those Acura pedals on your old CL, and do you remember where you got them from.

Thanks

they were from a vendor on here but i don't think he makes them anymore. There are a very similar set you can get on ebay apparently. You just have to drill tiny holes and they bolt on. Very easy to do.

not sure to be honest. I bought the full kit locally (used). Maybe check ebay? I only used the front though. You could probably use the rear too.

Need some help guys. I can pick up a used Wilwood BBK for a good price. Off a 6th gen accord.

1. will it fit on my CL? I'm pretty sure the answer is yes for front brakes between the two.
2. Will 3rd gen TL rims clear them?

Wilwood bbk fell through. One piece gauge pilar is in (thanks Ron). Trying to decide what to do for wheels. I want to go down to one set of rims. There are some 3rd gen TL rims with new performance tires locally. I think i'll go that route that way if i find some RL calipers in the future i'm good to go.

Car is currently at Honda getting the timing belt service done. Measured the pullies the other day and they seem to be the regular pullies. Ingalls damper on its way. Pedals need to go on, TL shift knob, remove the silver dash bits. Then in the spring repaint the front bumper. Then install a car seat! :|

i bought a one piece dual a-pilar to replace the one pictured above. Do the gauge faces pop off? Looking at it now i don't know how to swap the pilar because the gauge faces are too big to just slide through the hole and there is no break in the wiring i can see to just disconnect, and reconnect. They are both autometer if that makes a difference.

They slide out from the front and the wiring/vacuum line disconnects from the back of the gauge.

Which pillar did you go with?

I bought it off Ron. It's a dual pillar and the colour matches.

The wiring on the a/f gauge goes right into the unit. I don't see how i can disconnect the wiring to slide it out. It's all just hanging there right now.

I also took off some of the ugly silver bits. It was really hard to get off and i'm going to need some goo-gone.

The UEGO is the digital wideband from AEM. If that is what it is, the wires definitely disconnect from the back of the gauge. Theres no clip to push in to release the wires, its a friction fit.

Small update. Supercomputer pedals, one-piece gauge pilar, ingalls sticky mount are all in. Car drives great with the sticky mount, shifts smoother and seems to leap forward more when i drive it hard. Car is going in for paint this month...front bumper and engine covers.

Still can't decide what to do for wheels. I'm torn between 3rd gen TL rims or wait and try and find some lightweight rims locally. Also the silver trim bits are very hard to get off. I took off the trim on the drivers door and i'm still trying to get rid of the sticky bits that are left over. Goo gone isn't working well.

i need some warm weather then it'll come off easier. This was just a test piece. I want to make sure it'll all come off before i try and take off the dash bits.

Mine's supercharged, and his is lightweight, lol.

No, I sold the old CL and made some good coin between buying the new CL and selling the old. It was definitely a stressful time having two of them and no more savings.
