We met at around 2 p.m. at Miami subs. I was a lil late because i was coming from school and apparently, 59 S was blocked off! I had to go around. Anyways, it was a simple informal meet, but we all got a chance to see each others cars. I think Matt had the best ride out there with his Isuzu Rodeo (j/k). Tu's (sorry if i mispelled) car was phat though, it looked like mine but it was low as hell with his coilovers. Pat had the pretty cool WW bodykit, and cool mirror tint. I think that tint works best for silver cars. Ty's (sp??) car was the only one with Navi. Later, Danny and I met up in Sugar land for some racing. We finally found a strip of road that was safe from cops and traffic (although the neighbors were on to us. they were staring at us probably jocking our rides... even tho we were in a rich neighborhood, the guy that really stared at us was driving an old VOLVO!! HAHA.) So here are the results for anyone interested: We raced 4 times i think. 3 out of four i inadvertently was racing with TCS. Two time Danny beat me by approx 2 feet. One time i screwed up at launch and he smoked me. The fourth race was proper we both took off TCS and both raced sport shift. I am pretty sure i was ahead of him by about 3 or so feet during the middle but then toward the end he beat me by about 2 feet again. All in all, it was pretty cool just to meet everyone. Next time we'll do a proper meet like i heard the lexus crew has. Later everyone

Hey cool, so seems like 99 and 00+ are about the same or something? Hey really, why not you guys come to the SuperK parking every Sat. night around 10pm.... Its really cool, cuz me and some other CLP/CLS people will meet there and stuff, and some Accord V6 guys too..... We should have another mini-meet over there again.... Man, i seriously think we need a make a big meet with all the CL and TL in houston, so we won't be laughting by those Cali guys..... wat do yall think?

Hey my dad has a volvo so dont hate...but it does suck too . well it was cool meeting everyone. everyones car looking good. should do it again sometime.

IMO mirror tint only looks good on silver or white cars

Pimpin_TL

Hey Houston, I will try next saturday. I had a lot of exams this week so hopefully next week i will be free-er. I would like to come to the CL meets. I don't think the 99 and the '00s are the same actually. I felt that the 99's are slower. But i did feel that they was a small difference. Like, if i was to install a CAI it would even out - that small of a differnce. Remember we only raced short distance, so quarter mile racing is a different thing. Anyoe know a good place to race? once again it was cool meeting everyone.

Well I have to agree with you, cuz I have both 99 and 01, 3.2 motor powered car.... Actually, off the line, the 4spd seems to have a little more punch to it, but once the VTEC kicks in at 4500rpm, thats where you feel the MOST different.... Cuz the 5spd, you can tell if the VTEC is kicking in or not, but 4spd, you dun really feel some extra kick or anything, just pulling.... BUT i don't think the 99 are too much slower.... I did try to put the CAI from 01 to 99... well, it make the car louder, but dont see as much power gain as the 01 motor with the CAI....

BaLLxNxPaRLaY

It was pretty koo.... yes it was HOT!!! I got a tan from standing out in the sun. Well, i got to meet Thai (thaitea) and Danny, the rest i already knew. Which was Tu, Pat, and Dhruv.... It was a small meeting, unorganized, last minute thing.... Next time lets just meet up with the CL peeps so we can have more people attending...

thaitea

Hey...who's offering free food?...I'm there man. Hehehe...Houston CL...didn't see ya there. I was there late so I don't know who's who. I remember chinaman, pimpinTL, ballxnxparley, vision. I don't know the prelude girl and others. I almost didn't go, I was just on my way to Bellaire and thought I stop by and saw u guys there. I think I might have seen vision and chinaman somewhere before but not sure. Which one of u guys was danny...I missed it.

I'm definitely gonna get factory body kit, maybe in a couple months...I got so many other things to pay for hehehhe.

It's all good meeting TL and CL people, but I don't know if I can hang late saturday evening.

I agree with Matt, I want to meet up with the CL fellas too. Matt if your car isn't ready next time, I can pick you up from King Bo and we can roll together since your rest. is literally 1 min from my house.

HoustonCL: I think you're right about the VTEC thing, i don't feel it that much in my car. What can I do to change this? VTEC controller will tha thelp?

I'm down for the free food too, that will be sweet. Later fellas

Yea, Matt, if you need a ride to the CL/TL meet next time, just let me know! You know where i live and stuff, hehe, i wouldn't mind to pick you up at all, cuz its only like a minute from my house, and i have to pass by ur rest. anyway!

About the Vtec thing, i talked to the tech. in Acura..... He told me, actually there is nothing you can do to it. The different came from #1, more aggressive cam. #2, better flow intake manifod(not as good as TypeS but a little better than 99/Accord. #3, tranny, one more gear, so it's less drag in each gear, therefore smaller gear ration.
He said the 99 is basicly a revised 99Accord. Same tranny, same intake manifod. Then 2000, they actually made a severe change on the TL motor(to us, it's only little different in power, but engine wise, many things changed). So 99TL is more like in between an Accord, and 2000+TL. Nothing you can do, unless you change those things. Don't worry, its not worth the money, just enjoy it man...

Hi ppl I'm csp33, a buddy of HoustonCL, but osmehow he doesn't lemme knwo about any of the TL/CL meet until I read the posts! So, what's up here? I wanna meet up and know more ppl here! =)

iNsPiReFrEaK

I would come if i didnt have to work

Pimpin_TL

HoustonCL:

but there isn't a little diff in power, the hp is the same. the displacement is also the same too, so they both are modified accord v6's. i dunno when we raced it was fairly neck and neck... i hope you aren't comparing against CL b/c i would imagine those are lighter...

Houston CL

Well, I tried my best to understand ur question.... are you refering to Accord V6 or 99/00 CL/TL?? Well I assume you comparing between 99 and 00+ CL/TL.... no CL and TL are about the same weight, or i should say, the differce is not enuff to cause any noticeable power....

Ok, let do this.... yes, 99 and 00 have the same block and same displacement... its a fact... well but one thing tho... more power or same power doesnt mean the same performance... cuz the way car manufactor calculate power is how much power can it produce at the crank, there for this engine can produce 225hps at the crank.... BUT this is b4 including the actual real road condition... such as tranny, torque converter, weight, etc.....

Normally the ACTUAL power of an automatic car will be 20-25% less than the crank power... on a 00+ 3.2, 20% less 225 is 180hps... thats the power most people dynoed...

but since 4spd is a slower reaction tranny, and each gear is longer, it will take longer time to pull from 2k rpm to 6750rpm than a 5spd due to gear ratio...... I heard some 99 owner dynoed, and have 25% less power at the wheel, so thats about 170hps... thats like 12hps less than the 5spd... which Accord has about 160hps at the wheel.... That's why i say 00 is a bit faster in 0-60 n 1/4.... 00TL - 6.7, 15.2 Vs. 99TL - 7.4, 15.5 Vs. Accord - 8.0, 16.1

Good example was 00Maxima 222 Vs. 99Max 190.... Auto, they both are about the same from 0-60 and 1/4..... so sometimes more power dun mean faster.... or look at 00MAX 222 Vs. TL 225, TL is still faster than a MAX Auto.

NOw, these only came from my experience chatting with tech, car freaks and people over all these years while i was learning about cars.... so if something you don't agree, don't quote me for it! Hope this help!
