i think manual recommends 30k, but i remember one guy saying he changed it at 20k, and was VERY dirty

there also seems to be other brands that are manufactured by the same company honda uses and maybe cheaper too

met up with 98CL2point3 this afternoon. We drove over to the local Nissan dealership and tried to test drive a used 350Z, but they said they don't let anyone drive the new Zs, what kind of crap is that... it already had 5000 miles on it too.
We looked at it for a while and started it up. The engine sounds good when you rev it, but I think vtec with a CAI sounds better.
After we talked to the salesman for a while we headed back to Vandergriff and were planning on playing with an RSX type S, but a salesman saw me eyeing a 6 speed CL and talked me into driving it. 
I was worried that driving it would make me not like mine, the stick is very nice, but it didn't make me want to trade my auto for it. The clutch engaged VERY quickly. I know how to drive a stick, I've driven many manual cars and trucks, but this one was tough. I could get it to take off smooth if I went slow, but every time I tried to speed shift and drop the clutch it would really lurch. I'm sure I'd get used to it if I had it for longer, but for now I'll stick to my auto.

Damn, i dunno what i have planned for this weekend. All i know is we need another big meet with EVERYONE this time.
Let me tell you, I've had my share of cars and due to that, been on a lot of weboards. None of the people have been as cool as you guys that I've met off of car boards, or car clubs. Much props.

Danny, I found an extra Comptech vinyl sticker like I have on my car. It looks a little darker than I remember, so it may be silver or it may be black. I think it is silver, but it is hard to tell because it has the transfer paper on it and it kind of obscures the color. Next time we get together, it is yours!
BTW, this Friday is Valintines day so make sure you don't get in bad with your lady friends, gentlemen...
Cheers, Inferno

Well, I have to be at work at 2pm, so it looks like I'm out. 
Unless you guys want to do it early Sat. Damn, I was being selfish and hoping it wouldn't come in till next week.
