Damn man you flying on this car! One thing after another!

I'm not complaining though. It's looking great so far.

 

first few shots after the 6 speed swap.
Its running great and all, but a few electrical problems driving me nuts.
Window was stuck open and its been raining constantly for the past few weeks. Finally hot wired the regulator and shut it up.

It doesnt have the coilovers right now, keeping an eye out for Tein SS.

Hopefully the lipkit will go on in a month or so.

 

N, your car looks sick... didn't know u had a CF hood bro!!!!

 

Oh man, youre making me want to keep my CF hood now........


Dammit.

 

Wow your hood looks like it fits better than mine. Please more pics of the hood. And btw great job on the car, it looks great. Like what mine would look like if I had some wheels!

I also have a solution to fix that sagging shifter boot. It will fit tight up to the knob if you would like it that way.
LMK...

 

The hood fits so nice because he does body work (I think, right?)

 

it doesnt fit as good as looks in the pictures. I just threw it on there quick. when i get time i'll look more into adjusting it.

as far as the shift boot goes, i'm gonna be cutting the shift rod pretty soon, and after that i'll look into the boot problem, i do have a fix for it though, all u need is a spring.

Thanks man. U need to come out to the next meet man. dont leave me hanging as the only CL as always.

After doing a lot of adjustments and shaving, it should fit almost perfect, but i havent gotten to any of that yet.
I'm prolly not gonna get to it until i figure out all the electrical shit with this car first, which i know is gonna take a while.

 

looking good mayne, whose white tl is that? looks sick


once im done with all the exams and papers this week we should try and tackle all the little issues

 

i love it

 

Great pics, car is lookin great, CF on black looks so clean, I love it. Keep it up bro

 

some dumb kid that tries to hang out with our crew all the time, acting all cool and shit. no body likes him though

lipkit next. do them one at a time.

 

i think ive met him, he helped you with the swap a little huh?

 

car looks good but i honestly dont see the point doing all this work if you will sell the car in a year. Wont get most of that money back.

 

yea... i dont think he is selling it anytime soon, that was his original plan i think...

 

Wow. Nice clean ass cls.. I'm loving it. Was the 6spd conversion hard? I was planning on swapping mine and how much did it run u? jw thanks

 

yeah he fucked some shit up, big time. j/k man. thanks a lot for the help! it did save me a lot of time.

like David said, that was the original plan but the way i started blowing money on this car, it wouldnt be worth it to sell it, so now i think i'm gonna keep it for ever.

thanks. it was a lot of work, pretty much not worth it since you can just go out and buy a 6 speed for a lot less than it would cost you to convert yours. if i was to pay someone to do all this "PROPERLY", it would have easily run over 5 - 6gs.

 

Hey bro... I am workin on both cars this weekend!!! CLS FTW!!! Need to put some front tires on the CLS and fix the fog lamps! I took them both out the other day... and I have to replace one fog lamp lens on the Merc and detail the interior... lots to do!!!!

 

so u coming to the bbq meet on the 28th right?

 

Welcome to the 6-Speed Club!

 

fuckin electrical problems making me pull my tiny hairs out.

and i dont feel like throwing $300/400 at the electrician, just to find out wtf is going on.

 

If your car had a wing our cars would be twins

 

fixed

 

Thats a headache bro... my 1984 300 zx had some weird electrical gremlins too!!!

 

wow that looks awesome! how long did it take to finish the tranny swap? And what did it put down on that dynosheet u had?

 

Hey man,this is usdm-cg1 from H-I..I just wanted to say your car looks really good and i hope you get the electrical problem resolved soon.

 

took too long and i havent dyno'd it yet, but pretty sure putting down about the same as most other 6 speeds.

sup man.

just got done spending over 4 hours on it with a certified honda tech trying to figure it out, but still got no where. hopefully we'll look more into it tomorrow.

 

HOpe everything goes well with the car nauman. Don't spend too muh time on that car we need you to get the house so we can have a nauman house meet.

 

Damn thats crazy,i thought they usually use their diagnostics computer to diagnose our cars at the stealership? I hope you still figure a way to get it done tho.

 

Its nearly impossible to hunt down an electrical problem with the HDS. If the problem is bad enough to screw with the ECU, it definately is bad enough to screw with the HDS.

 

it might not work out with the big house. needs too much work. so no more 16 car drive way.
looking at another one right now.



yeah that computer can only help so much, specially when all the wires are all mixed up. i left the car with the tech early today and he called me in the afternoon saying he got the window and the sunroof to work:thumb sup:

the only thing left right now is the passenger seat not working. and the radio, which works, but no sound from the speakers, the sub is not getting any power.
which i think will work after i swap out the passenger floor harness with 03.

 

I finally got everything figured out!

The car is 100% functional except the ABS unit which is still from 01 Type-S.

It runs great, other than new problems popping up (not related to the swap).

Thanks a lot to David for helping me out and getting the car ready in half the time!

 

nice!

 

Thats great news bro!

 

Woooohooooooo

 

 

sweet ride! blacked out lights look tight!

 

Nice! Are you going to do anything about the ABS though?

 

 

Nice! Alos, whos NSX is that?

Are you still going to do a RWD conversion?

 

nice progress. simple and easy on the eyes.
