im searching for an interior part and need to know if my interior color is "light gray quartz" or "clear gray?"

i thought there was only one shade of gray for 97 NH-538's (Frost White)

The lighter grey is classy grey, the darker gray is charcoal or quartz grey

The only purpose it serves is to pull the sensor further out of the exhaust stream, so it will detect less HCOs or whatever is measured in the exhaust. When it detects less it thinks it is working fine so you have no check engine light. maybe some of the people from cali can chime in and post what kind of converter theyre running or had on their cl
alright thanks. do you know where i can get that o2 sensor extension?

Klepto had the classy grey on his 97 white 2.2 so that would make sense Matt

Can someone link me to these on superbrightleds? Can't find the flashlight type on there:

Map lights: 2x 194/168 (6-led Flashlight type recommended)

Thanks.

I assume by flashlight you mean the light facing straight ahead, that would be the T13 & 921 Miniature Wedge Base bulbs

I prefer the WLED's (Wide Angle Bulbs)

Which work best for maplights you think? Or better, which do you have? There's a few wide angle WLEDs. The guide said flashlight (post by mulsulsa), so not sure which he meant.

Well, I have different types of map lights than you since I have a 97, I have the 9 LED festoons. That post by musula is old, I would go with the wide angles myself

So my CL is at Acura since wednesday, for the timing belt and axles. So far it's been a posistive experience, they were very nice there and brought the price down quite a bit, I;m not sure exactly how much yet but way lower than honda quoted me.

Funny thing about this is I showed up to make an appt and he said well you want to leave it right now, I've got a TSX loaner right outside. So I did it, the TSX was ok, but yesterday I showed up to see how things were doing and they had the entire fleet of loaners. My wife really wants an RDX, so I asked if I could switch and they did. I must say it is a pretty nice car, it actually feels like an Acura where as the TSX feels like a Honda. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

They are also doing the warranty work as well, without even asking for it, so cap rotor wires and plugs plus an oil change but he's skipping that one since I put mobil 1 in myself just the other day when changing my radiator. anyway not bad!

Hmm... Another LED question.

Does the 9 led dome light from autolumination go good with superbrightled interior lights such as maps? Or should I go with the 6 led from superbright to ensure color coordination? Just not sure how bright the 6 LEDs would be for the Dome, n I do want it fairly bright, but coordinated.

And does superbright offer the vanity mirror lights?

Dave I don't think there's anything that "doesn't fit" the only stuff I didn't use was bushings and stuff for the shock coils because I used coilovers, I think everything else went in fine

Just ordered main interior LEDs (maps, dome, doors, trunk, and glove box). Decided I'd just go with 6-LEDs for dome. No need to answer my question, I'll find out solo dolo style. It should be bright enough i think. I got 9-LEDs for trunk hehe, shits gon shine.

Yeah every bushing from the hyperflex kit should fit just fine. Make sure you lube them before installation though.

I don't see why amber and amber would be a problem, would probably look cleaner than amber with white bulb

Hey guys,

Installed a new brake master cylinder. Bled perfectly each time. Brake booster is fine. Brakes are new 1.5 years ago. No leaks.

The brake pedal still goes to the floor. There is considerable amount of play in the brake pedal, about 1.5 inches before it seems to actuate the MC. Are there further adjustments to make that will pull my brake pedal higher to engage the MC sooner to reduce the brake pedal going to the mechanical stops??

By slave cylinder do you mean the peripheral brake calipers (brake piston). There are no leaks that I can see/saw.

I cant remember what the feel was before my MC died. So here is an open question for everyone. Start the car, press on brake pedal (it obviously should not fade) but can you still push it to the mechanical stop???

Have you seen any amber leds in application? I have been looking around and can't find pictures of them on any cars in the dark. I've been wanting some but the only pictures I can find of them are in seller photos, which I don't really trust.

not a question but more of an answer
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-JD...Q5fAccessories
link to some 18" VIP wheels, the seller is the guy i was thinking about buying wheels off of in my city
...but i can't justify spending that much money on the cl
these should be a good deal for someone, no reserve, staggered 8" front 9" rear and a style no one has done on a cl yet (i was going to do this style wheel, but my plans have changed to other cars)
i think this the last set of 4x114.3 wheels he has

When I start my car I hear a loud screaching for 1-2 seconds. I am thinking it is a belt that needs to be tightened or a belt that is glazed/cracked and needs to be replaced. Any input? im thinking the alt. belt maybe
