I've been a member for a little while and I normally browse this site for research and ideas. Well I think its about time I post up a few pictures of my work in progress. Im still in the process of changing out the interior from tan to black.
I purchased this car for $3200 with a harsh shifting transmission last year in June with the intention of converting it to a 6 speed. The mileage was 113k miles.

This is my 2nd 6 speed swap that I have done.

The first was my J32A2 swapped 99 Accord Coupe pictured right below

 

Looking good!

You should keep an eye out on the Regions section for any upcoming meets this spring/summer. It would be nice to see another CL out there.

 

Very nice, maybe one day i can be the first Sundance Gold to have a six speed. Its a very costly mod but I think definitely worth it.

 

 

Very nice. Hae you run into any electrical problems? Any things left alone and disconnected?

 

Thanks man, I plan on going to the East Coast Honda meet
Thanks , I have just about $3k just in the swap, but its done the right way with the factory ecu, engine harness, & engine sensors. It is worth it.
Thanks
My first swap on the Accord I used Richie's Harness.
This time around I decided to do it the right way. I eneded up purcahsing the 03 CLS6 ecu, engine harness, front cam gear, cam gear plate, cam sensor, carnk sensor, crank gear, LOL everything that I read on the write up, I also had to change my dash A plug and convert it to the D plug that the 03 CLS6 uses. No check engine light, reverse works, tilt mirror works, automatic seat works. Lots of hours invested in this.

But one good thing is that I am Honda Technician at Checkered Flag Honda in Norfolk Virginia.
Reading schematics wasnt too bad. I printed lots of pages out of the service manuals from the Acura Dealer.

 

cool deal man. that makes 3 of us with 6 speed swapped CLs. atleast on here.

 

Noice!

 

looks good, what are you lowered on?

 

Nice!!

 

wow I thaught there were more.
Thanks
Thanks im lowered on Megan Racing Full Coilovers
Thanks

 

What else do you need to finish the interior swap? I'm picking up a wrecked 01 cl-s auto soon and I will be parting it out. It has black interior. I replied in my thread about what you said too.

 

Hmmm I still need all the seats, door panels, inside quarter panels, inside rear deck, armrest, headliner, c pillars, seat belts, lol almost everything.

Let me put it this way the only things I have is the Dash (out of a TL) and the carpet.

 

Will figure everything out with that silver 01 ha.

 

Is the 3rd one that red CL that swapped and turbo'd?

yep thats it. i havent seen any updates on that car yet. he's got fully built s2k now and a turbod h22 mini cooper
atleast i think its an h22

 

Wow that's rad. Now that you mention it, I just remembered that he gave the red CL to his brother. He still maintains it for him though. I actually just sent him a PM asking when he'll update the thread. Doubt I'll get a PM back from him for a while though


Let's get back on topic though, Type JDM should mimic your car so that they are identical. He already got the hard part of it over with lol

 

when I seen you were located in VA beach & the seen the accord you swapped, it dawned on me that I looked at your swapped accord on vadriven when it was for sale right before i brought my cl. lol Random i know

 

I missed this thread somehow.

Welcome! We met during the summer, I was driving the blue Accord. We talked a bit about the 6MT swap you were doing.

PS - Nspec, that is an H series.

 

Here is a updated picture with the 2010 TSX v6 wheels


Here is my girlfriend's TSX V6

 

wow, those tsx wheels look great...
good work

 

those tsx wheels do look good. i'm like to grab some for my white 01 cl.

 

looks good

 

Can you post some pics of the accord interior and exterior

 

i was chatting with him a few days ago. they actually sold the CL a while back. not sure who has it now.

 

accord?

 

What rims are on the TSX? Looks nice.....oem TSX rims look good on the CL...how do they feel compared to the TL rims you had on?

 

the first picture...

 

 

Thanks man the rims are Enkei EKM3 18x8

I actually like the way these rims sit on our CL's it's flush with body and not sunked in.

 

Damn man that accord is so sick!

 

I liked it alot since it was one of a kind to me but sold it to buy my house, but on the other hand I like my CLS a lot more.

 

Yea the CL looks great with those TSX wheels

 

Paint to come in the spring time. Little imperfections in the paint and dings. I almost done with the interior swap from tan to black.

 

Are you gonna put 03 tails?

 

Yes sir also gotta get the headlights too since I modded my stock ones, when it rains they fog

 

my headlights fog up after the carwash idk how to fix it lol

 

I have a set of 2003 headlights for sale let me know if interested. No leaks never opened.

 

Nice progress sir! I miss my ABP CL-S. I should have kept it and swapped a 6-speed in.

Those TSX V6 wheels look great on your car. Keep them on there!

 

Lol it does suck.

How much shipped to 23462 ?
Thanks man, yeah the wheels are staying on there.
