Newbie here...

Um, I don't know if it's okay to introduce myself in here or not, but I figured it's probably better to do it here than ramblings...

I've been a lurker for a while, but I just joined today.

I have a 99 3.0, black, no mods, no pics (no digicam). Sorry; I'm just interested in YOU guys.

And... that's about it. Hi!

Welcome to the ACL Community

you can find used parts for your car on our Black Market thread

When looking for parts you can also find exact parts from the Honda Accord V6 98-02, it is better to search for parts for the accord, since they will work with the CL its just that they never recognize that they will work and wont spend the extra money to get a carb exempt for it only for one car.

But if you buy parts for the accord youll be safe, parts you can buy for your CL:

intake, headers, exhaust, plugs, NOS, CF hood, VAFC, suspension

if you want to see a 3.0 with lots of mods, check out Dustbuster4, he is primo when it comes to the 3.0 CL

I don't know why I've never modded my car... I've had it forever. I guess I just kind of feel like it's not worth it to start now when I'll probably be getting a newer car in a year or so anyway.

Then again, this one is now paid off. I don't quite relish the thought of having a new car payment yet. I suppose modding the CL is a less expensive way to have a "new" car.

So... is it worth it? Do you guys find a lot more enjoyment in your car once it's modified?

Yeah... my insurance is a bit over $200 now. Why is yours so high? Get in a few accidents?

I have another question, also... is there a do/don't rule list for this board? Obviously, I shouldn't ask questions until I check the search function (I'm a veteran of other boards, so I know the BASICS), but... anyone I should make a point to NOT piss off or anything?

It's funny... it looks like there are only a few girls on here, which is pretty typical of car forums, I guess.

Oh, and I'm Creighton, btw. Nice to meet you.

Think about it, you meet some fine:-* after a night of You give her the look, and its out to your car for a night of She sees your car and goes OMG is that yours . And of course you say yes,cuz your a So you get in the backseat, start :wackit: to get ready, and she shows you her Then you start getting it on like this ~~~> :bananahump: So you're done, but now theres a problem. She's in She calls you all the time and you're listening like :whocares: Come to find out, shes pregnant with a and you're like How could that happen? She must be the :devil: I mean, you only Now shes :crying: all the time, all because you wanted a little :lickit: Maybe you shoulda signed a But who knows. You she was lying, but you cant put nothin past this bitch. After a while, you start to think its I mean, you're not that dumb are you ? So you start thinking of ways to get rid of her, the way. How? ? ? Maybe call the to deal with her. You dont know what to do You're madder than a The :cop: find out about your plan to , and they take you to jail. Now theres a lot of :ghey: guys wanting to :lickit: you, all because you wanted some instead of just . Now you're :ultraghey: in the big house, :busted: all the time and you're gettin by this guy . Why did all this happen? Cuz you drive a Acura CL. On second though, leave it stock.

The problem with wheels is that the only ones I like are way out of my price range.

Actually, that's really the problem with all of the mods, which is probably why I haven't done anything. There's always something else I want to spend my money on.

I don't want to buy Konig or something like that. I want three-piece forged rims, and they're hard to come by in a decent price range. I suppose I could always pick some up used.

omg I didn't mean to make give a low shot... I just have had friends who've had Konigs and they always break, or bend, or otherwise lose their usefulness, and then their investment has gone to shit.

I don't have sigs turned on so I have no clue who has Konigs or not. I'm sorry.

Gee, Creighton, great way to alienate people on your third day as a board member.

Do you have a link to your pics so I can check them out and then say nice things to sorta make up for it?
