Unhappy New To The Cl and Searching for Parts
Hey guys i'm new to the import scene and found drove and fell in love with my new 97 Cl with the 2.2 vtec 5spd. Im looking to mod the car for looks and performance i just am having trouble finding parts for the car and it seems most of the mods are for the v6 or the second gen models. If you guys had any places online i could go look i would really appreciate it.
thanks.

If you want power either turbo your car or do an h22 swap. Bolt-ons will not cut it.

Oh... and almost all of the parts from the 94-97 accord will work on the first generation CL's (your car)

yes. treadstoneperformance.com has a pretty decent kit but it doesnt come with any of the fuel delivery components.

ps. The Search button is your friend.

search for anything related to turbo f22's (that is our engine)

or h22 swaps and whatnot, chances are if you have a question someone else has asked it before and made a thread about it. It will save you a lot of time and humiliation. Trust me i've been there.

BTW, check the n00b guide. Read, rinse, repeat.
The first thing you should do is drop it and but some wheels on it. Totaly changes the look.
