Pix of My CL

Posting pictures of my baby for the first time. Let me know what you guys think. These pitures were taken just after I installed a set of Tanabe NF20 Spings and Tokico Illumina Shocks..got it a bit closer to the ground. Hopefully it will look bit lower once the springs settle.

Also, you may want to dump that front license plate bracket. It wreck the paint like it did on mine. Now I have to get my bumper repainted.

Thanks for the complement...I think.
Man you don't even know how hard I had to look to find this car. I was on waiting lists at different Acura dealerships around VA for 3 months and once they got one they always tried to rip me off. I got my car by chance because a buyer from NJ just bought the car when I went to see the car. As I left the dealership the dealer calls me back and tell's me that the guys check just bounced and if I was still interested. After two hours of verbal war...I walked away with the keys.

Niiiiiice. I'm still jealous, but niiiiiiiice. How many miles? I actually stole my car, like you did. How much did you end up getting your car for, if you don't mind my pedulent inquiry? I just want to know what the correct price range is on those, for when I get mine.

All mine,
I bought my car a little over a year and half ago and it had 28k miles on it, kinda high I know but it was exactly what I wanted. Antharcite grey with ebony/brushed metal interior, 6 speed and navi. So I stole it for a little over $24k out the door, considering the CL-P w/navi at the time was going for 22K or more. The craziest thing is that they thought like most people I wanted an auto. So that is exactly what I used for leverage during the whole process. I am sure you can get it for under $20K with good miles...IF you can find one. Man I just love driving it and even in traffic it's not that bad, thanks to the adjustable clutch.

The Tanbe NF20 Springs are great if you are trying to keep your ride feel same as stock. My ride has gotten a bit stiffer due to my shocks setting (tokiko Illuminas). When I set it to one all around it's even smoother then stock.

Well I agree with "All mine", if you want a significant drop and a stiffer ride, but for a smoother stock feel and a conservative drop you would go with these springs here are the specz Tien H-Tech: 1.2F 1.2R and Tanabe NF20: 1.5F 1.0R
Hope that helps.

Well it's known as a self-adjusting clutch. It's keeps the clutch from slipping and once engaged keeps the car from stalling out, at least that is my understanding. I am sure if you do a search in this forum you will find more info.
