Blast from the past
 
Came across these the other day of my old car and thought i'd put it up. I've got a lot I still need to load onto the net :) (mainly old pictures with different rims i've had, etc)

I bought the car new in january of 1999. Day 2 it got lowered with the eibach prokit...i then went on to mess with about half a dozen different suspension setups till I settled on the sportlines you see in these pics. Car went through a lot of stages, was black for most of it's life...on and on...

Always loved your car Scott, one of my main inspirations. I especially loved the color. Can't believe you're considering getting another one, that would just be a trip. You were also one of the few sprayers in a 1st gen, you and dust

I remember seeing this car when I first came here :thumbsup:

CLpower 02-15-2008 12:51 PM

I think it was the only modded CL on the site (other then 99CL) when this site was first started

CLpower 02-15-2008 12:54 PM

Just FYI, I replaced the CL with this :)

Somewhat stock dyno (car only had a canned tune on it)

I bought the car thinking I wouldn't mod it....well this was here the 2nd day of ownership ;)

http://www.reflections-detailing.net...39;t%20mod.jpg

My plans are mainly suspension as I don't think the car needs more power. I've done a lot of bushing upgrades and plan on a fully adjustable coilover set in the near future, but I have some DBA rotors and EBC Red pads i'm putting on tomorrow.

Cocoa 02-15-2008 01:34 PM

I remember those videos. Everyone brought up the music in the background, and 3 years later everyone still does. lol. Always loved your car Scott, and loved the bigger badder american brother even more! That thing was a beauty at the Pasadena meet.

97BlackAckCL 02-15-2008 03:24 PM

Nope, I expected to see it around....but never have. I traded it in.

subbuzz 02-15-2008 07:09 PM

DoubleSh0t 02-16-2008 09:58 PM

Love the color. The only thing stopping me from painting it similar to that (maybe a bit darker) is the tan interior. :hurl:

Trust me, I'm looking at my options for that. Everything I want to do is on a very slim budget.

I know how you feel....... so much to do, so little money to spend :(

97BlackAckCL 02-17-2008 05:08 PM

:werd:

CLpower 02-17-2008 06:20 PM

i'd think of a color that'd match the tan interior, like a candy green or something (might be a little too bright)

<syphers> 02-17-2008 08:03 PM

wow i love those rims. who makes them?? and what are they called ??
