I love seeing the Big Brown Truck pull up in front of my house!
Got some more parts today and updated the pics in the sticky!

I haven't gotten any new boxes yet.


Waiting for the spare block to be received.

 

Sure r purty! Looking good so far

 

Awesome progress!

 

Yea im waiting for my engine (BUT Its not being delivered, i have to pick it up)

Eric you should come over and look at teh ecu and new harness

 

awesome progress man! What are you using for the parking brake now?

 

A chunck of 2x4.


































When it comes time for that i have acouple ideas, but ill worry about that when i round that corner

 

I love the work you're doing. I can't wait to see it done. You should change the pedals while you are down there. Looks like a pain in the ass putting all those wires back together.

 

You should install an e-brake down on the left side of the driver seat

 

That is some sick ass GUTTING OF AN ENGINE AND TRANNY THERE. NICE WORK!!! Thats a hell of a project to dig yourself deeply into. I hope you know everything your doing cuz just by the looks of what youve taken out, that shit loooks waaaayyyy tooo complicated. But thats a sick conversion if you pull it off successfully. Hope everything falls into place as it comes together. Cant wait to see it. Good luck.

 

Nah. Im thinking something along the lines of electrical actuator hidden with a push button!

Actually most of every thing is pretty straight forward if your looking at it in person.

 

This is sweet! On the edge of my desk chair

You should of had your goofy neighbor shoot video of the conversion and sell it..
"TL Overhaulin"
...I know I would of bought it...a couple bucks for some great instructional entertainment

 

woah :backs up:

haha be sure to post pics

 

you're sick, man! If you're ever in Atlanta, drinks are on me.

 

I'm in Atlanta, you can get my drinks

 

Sweet! Ill be passing thru next year for sure.




Just ordered a clutch and flywheel. Damn those things are expensive. And NO one and i stress NO one sells them other than the dealer. You cant even get teh clutch at any parts store. (of course there is comptech, but they are hella expensive)

 

Do you have an estimate for how much this will cost in the end? Just a guess would be fine.. Your knowledge of the car blows my mind.. I can barely change the oil..

 

Man, i have not been on here in a while, finnaly someone whos got the cash and the balls to do this! i love it!!

 

I have 3500 into it now (including the engine that i havent picked up yet). I have all for seeable parts ordered now, it should come in under 4k (have to pay the dealer 100 bucks to reprogram comp and key to work together

 

I give you major props for doing this! You are my Idol!

 

i would love to see the faces on the techs at the dealer when you roll in.

im sure u mentioned this b4, i might of read over it, but are you getting the CL center console to fit the e-brake?

 

i dont think he mentioned getting the cl-s 6 speed console. Recently a friend of mine got a 03 cl-s 6 speed, i did look at hte console. They look the same however the heated seat buttons are in a different location and there are not rear vents like we have on the TL's unless I overlooked it but I'll checck it out again. I think it would work and would make it look stock if you could get one that matches your interior.

 

Correct no rear vents in the CL.

 

Im going to try to use the TL console and use a high strength Actuator to pull and release the e-brake

 

Kris i am not sure if this question has been asked before but what about the gauges? I know that the tach on CL-S 6 Speed is different You plannin on replacing that as well?

 

LOL


Yeah, Kris, definately keep us Atlantan's in the loop if you roll through. I'd love to meet up and check this out!!!

 

Hasnt been brought up, but ive thought about it. Im either going to try to use mine but buy the type-s covers CL-6, or if that doesnt work get a used cluster or something.

 

when you say use yours..you mean your cluster but the type s gauges or your cluster with your stock gauges? If you use the stock gauges, i believe the d5, or d1 light will blink ..or something..i forgot what was happening off hand with the accords doing the swap. I'm was going to buy the gauges and try to swap them first, and if that didn't work I was going to get a used cluster.

 

I dont know if ill have that problem since im using the CL-S 6 ECU and harness only time will tell

 

I think you should get CL-S6 gauges. It wouldn't look right otherwise.

 

IF YOU PULL THIS SHIT OFF IM GOING TO MAKE A DONATION TO THE

"FSTTYMS1 FUND" BECAUSE I WILL BE THE FIRST PERSON TO KNOWCK ON YOUR DOOR AND ASK FOR YOUR HELP WITH THE CONVERSION. "MARK MY WORDS" LOL

 

fsttyms1, i was thinking about something the other day, and as much as i don't want to be a killjoy are you sure everything you're doing will pass your state vehicle inspection?

since you're using a CL ECU there won't be any transmission "ghost codes" so you're safe there, but since you're radically changing the setup of the drivetrain, etc. you may want to check up on your state laws regarding vehicle modifications.

i know in NY it's illegal to modify your vehicle in almost every manner other than stock. obviously this doesn't include wear items like tires and wipers, and obviously most cops won't bother you for rims or lowering your car. i know you have some friends who are on the job so you may want to see if they have a "friendly" shop around.

or perhaps you allready thought of this and i'm just rehashing old news....

just looking out for you.
