Anyways so I'm picking it up for 22K!
26500 miles.
No accidents
clean Experian Autocheck and I'm about to try to get a carfax for it today.
with navigtaion whic his something I've been REALLY wanting to have.
However, this car has a spoiler. If you guys know anyonw with an Anthracite CLS that wants to swap trunk lids and get a spoiler for CHEAP ($100?) then let me know.
This car is also all OEM and has no mods. It's got a small flaw on the rear bumper which is a scratch near the left rear wheel well on the bumper that is about 1.5" long and 1/16th of an iinch in width.
It's the car I REALLY wanted to get when I got my CLS a few years back.
oh Yeah!!! it's still got acura's 4 year 50K warranty and also has a 100,000K mile acura certified drivetrain warranty from before. w00t!
so... no worries on the car for a long while.

Congrats Vinh !
Actually I think some time ago, 123456speed (in Austin) was wanting to swap trunk lids. He has 03 Anthracite 6 MT/Navi . May want to PM him, I don't know if he ever got someone to swap the lids.

Got to try the Pirelli P-Zero Neros a bit tonight . . . they seem to bite pretty good and corner really nice . . .
Not sure if it's just that those Ziex I had sucked or what . . . but I'm not sure the T1-S were $50 a tire better . .

Mantis . . . what you got going this weekend?
I need someone to snap some picks of the Icebox mod I did. I finally got a response back from the injection molding folks and it's too much money to make the intake elbow. The lawn blower part is cheaper even though I had to buy the whole kit.
I bought everything at Lowes and the part numbers are:
Weed Eater - GH-2010
Gutter Cleaning Kit - $24.96
4" to 4" Flexible Coupling
RC100 $5.93
I still need to get the exact size of the foam bonnet, but it was about $5.00 at Pep Boys.
So for less than $35.00 you get a nice little track mod for the Icebox that I believe is worth another 10th or 2, or about 6-10HP. Pretty cheap as far as mods go . . . and it took me less than 30 mins to do the whole thing.
Once I have some pics I'll post the process and you guys can have at it if you want. I do want to see if it'll work on the CL just in case there's a difference.

no shaker hood, but it does have some shaker dings in it
. . . and how do you think I run a 14.5 with just an Icebox . . . dang I'd like some headers . . . 14.2 or less could be had

Other than that, I'm pretty free.
Maybe we can hookup around 5 on Saturday before it gets dark, or sometime Sunday.
Hit me on my cell.

My bro has a 1998 328i with aftermarket springs, sways, and T1-S's on the road, and that thing handles AMAZING. It's like a perfectly balanced go-cart. It's hard to compare that car to mine, but I'd say the T1-S's are WAY better than the Yoko ES100's and T4's I've used.

Yes, I had the T1-S' before the Ziex and they were awesome, but too high $$ for the number of times I'd really push them to the point of needing them. When I first got the T1-S' I paid $154 each, now they are almost $200.
The other good thing about the P-Zero Neros is that they are M+S rated and the T1-S' are just summer and rain tires . . . they had no bite on the snow or ice last year.
Ruf
What's the pricing on the Neros? I agree 100% about the T1-S -- not worth it for me. My bro bought the car with them on there, but I guarantee he never really pushes it (I could tell by his face when I test drove it).
