N00bie straight outta west Texas

Yooooo! Greetings y'all, I'm Eddie. I've been lurking the forum for a while, but I've decided to make my intro, lol.

I got my 98 CL 2.3 a few months ago and I'm really eager to start getting it to where i want it to be. I'm not looking to build a race-car, or a crazy VIP setup, just a clean cruiser. This car will be used as my daily since it's automatic. You'll see me pop in and out of threads here and there, and I'm excited to see what kind of help y'all can toss my way.

So here it is. She's primrose and has 185k on the stock motor (she's old, but she not in bad shape)

Interior is a solid 8/10 and already has a stereo.

I'm gonna change out the whole system and add a sub. I had a pioneer double din in my old EM2 that's gonna get transplanted into the CL. Anyone know if the radio plug is the same from a 02 Civic to my 98 CL?

I got her some new tires on the stock wheels, did a full tune-up, new Sylvania silver-star ultra-white's for the stock headlights, and put a few LED bulbs inside and in the parking lights.



I'm not having a bunch of luck finding clear turn signal lenses.... any suggestions?

Here are a few of my past whips, just for shits n giggles:

Nice, I like the color and the rear wing, not sure I would add one to mine though. I too dig the black 240 for sure.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys The black 240sx was my baby, and I can only hope I can make the CL look half as good.

So anyone know if the radio plug is the same from the 2002 civic to the 1998 CL?

Sad to hear you sold the car but glad to hear you got a 2nd gen Teg. I also had one (93 RS sedan), I loved that car to death. Wanted another one but hard to find one in bone stock condition so got the CL!
