i wana see the bezel along with better bigger pics. i dont know why but it jumps out at you. feels a bit out of place. does it function properly

Scout8847

Thanks guys I can see how its not for everyone. Wait until I get it all together, Door panels, seats, console. Wiring wasnt bad I used Tap splices, that way IF and its a big IF I ever want to put back the stock gauges they will plug right in.

Scout8847

Will do on the pics and bezel. Yes evrything on it works just like it does on a RSX.

I like it. Alot nicer than the S7 gauges.

But @ Scout, If you post unfinished pics, you will most likely not get good comments. That's why most of us wait and post pics up later.

Thanks man. I promised pics today and I didnt want you all thinking I was full of Sh!t

mitch14

^well it was a good choice you made then. TBH i was expecting you not to deliver on the pics, so it was a surprise for me to see them up today

...and the one thing that bugs me would not being able to get to redline on those guages
but a k swap will make everything better

Scout8847

Yes the K swap will!! Thanks for the comments guys.

incredulous1

kswap + six speed will be sex.

Scout8847

Should be fun.

SupraManAG

first K swap in a CL
you got my attention

Scout8847

Thanks guys. I will do anything I can to help anyone with questions as I go along. Who has the fastest first gen here?

Me.

Haha, naw, probably Cocoa. He has a 3.5l J35 swap, sprayed, and I think he's working on a turbo.

You're damned if you do, damned if you don't on this forum. If you post about a project with no pics, you get railed for not posting pics. If you post pics of something that's not finished, everyone knitpicks the details and criticizes. Welcome to 1GCL

I like it. I love to see someone doing custom like that - not enough of that here.

It's easy to keep it "safe" - something that everyone else has already done and in general everyone likes. We're all guilty of it, some of us are just more guilty of it than others. When you do something original, it may be hit and miss with other people's opinions, but at least it's original. Props.

I'm into this just for the originality alone, that's what I try to make most of my mods as well

yes very original....

OttaWacK

wow, looks like quite the awesome project. Gauges look excellent, cant wait to see more.

You seem pretty handy....have you ever had any other cool car projects?

AznX TL

wow holy crap, you did the whole thing in one day

Anhedonia

i think this is going to be the most unique CL on here. (aside from the fucking pink one)

RSX interior.. fold flat seats.. K swap + 6 speed? shit.

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

cocoa is still up there with his lexan windows, oh and kumar's if he'd ever post pics. But this RSX/CL hybrid should be quite unique when it's all together

Anhedonia

Looks like a fun project. Can't wait to see the end result.

SupraManAG

ur full of kaka or kaki whatever you wana call it
is that why ur gettin a turbo H22 cause ur not going fast right?

1V4N

wow most impressive if u get all the RSX parts installed and working!

the gauge swap is interesting, not my preference but nevertheless its still original

keep up on the great originality, I'm sure everyone is keeping a close eye on this thread for the next little while

Scout8847

Yeah guys I have been into cars for a longtime. Took about 8 yrs off for Uncle Sam in the Army. This is my wifes car and she will only drive a standard shift, how great is that!! I am doing the K swap with the full intention of boosting it as well.

The RSX gauge swap will work in a 3.0 CL as well. Any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks for all the comments.

AznX TL

does the odometer work on it since the CL's is analog and the RSX is digital?

Scout8847

Yep. Sure does...Also if some of you dont want the 02-04 RSX gauges I also can help with the same swap, just using the white faced 05-06 gauges. Just 4 wires to swap.

SupraManAG

no matter what chassis you have you will need custom mounts to be fabbed for your K20 to sit in. Also if you are serious about this I would look into a K24 block with K20 head for some impressive tq for a heavier car like a cl.

f22vtec

u can put rsx gauges in a cl whattttttttttt

Scout8847

Yeah i have made custom mounts before. We have a waterjet at work so i can make all the pieces i need then fabricate them to work. Thanks for the input SupraMan AG.
