Yeah its been there for a minute but its alot of prep work

termo001

so im doin the RL BBK upgrade on the car but i was wondering if i should go with the ebc Green stuff in the front and the Red in the back or go Red all around?

termo001

went by the dealer ship today......just out of the spray booth....


they took off the door windows and bumpers so there is no paint lines

4 base coats and 5 clear coats

termo001

went to check up on the car again they have the doors back on and are goin to start buffing it and when i left they were working on repairing the interior

Looks good from the photos but a detailed inspection will reveal the truth. Have one question, can't remember if you stated it before but why did you just go back to black? I would've went with a different color if I was doing a complete repaint on a black car.

termo001

well buddy i they are not painting the engine bay or the the inside of the doors they are painting the whole exterior plus i like the origanal two tone color where it has a tint of blue in the sun but still looks black i had them add a bit more pearl so the blue can stand out just a bit more but you cant really notice it ..... what color would you gone with ....white???

Blitz

I'm not sure what you're saying. Hopefully you weren't taking my comment as insulting. I was simply saying if I had the opportunity to paint a black vehicle entirely I would try to go with something different. White is cool as hell at times but I don't think I would change it TO white. Hahaha I think there are a lot of colors I have pondered over the years. The CL needs a perfect shade to really compliment it's subtle presence. Gunmetal, orange, green, light grey, accord purple, blue. It's not my money or my car but I was throwing a couple pennies out there. Look forward to the finished product.

termo001

no im not taking it insulting i was being honest alot of peopel seem to like the white color but no i really do like the black color have you seen it .... it has a bit of blue in the son really looks nice to me honestly i would either would of done white or black thats just what i like the finish product should be here by this friday

termo001

termo001

Those lambo doors have been pleased out...

On Topic : I don't mind the doors, but I wouldn't put em on my CL (I'd rather save up for a TL or gas money). Glad you like em and this car is coming along nice!

Far less deserving cars have gotten lambo doors

1foxbody

I have to admit it looks pretty good, keep up the good work!

AcuraSpook

Looks good man, glad you finally got her back!

termo001

@AcuraSpook and 1foxbody thanks!

can anyone recommend a good quality brake fluid? I read racing fluids, like ATE Blue, absorb water (which of course lowers the boiling point) much faster than OE grade DOT3 fluids and to use Honda DOT 3/4 brake fluid instead or you run the risk of corrosion. What would you do?

civicdrivr

Just get the normal off the shelf Dot 3/4 fluid. Dont run Dot 5, you have to flush the entire system, otherwise it will damage the seals. But most importantly its not compatible with ABS.

termo001

@civicdrivr thanks a lot! i will be flushing the whole system any ways.....so the honda brake fluid is not better than the other brands?

That's going to look sick! how hard was it to rebuild the calipers?

AcuraSpook

Not in this thread.

termo001

THANKS @ civicdrivr, AcuraSpook, gnuts.
rebuilding the caliper was easy. The hardest part is taking out the pistons since i dont have an air compressor. I just went down to the tire shop and ask if they could pop the pistons out and they did since i was there for a tire rotation any ways.

**One thing i will say is the that the rebuild kit DOES NOT include 4 of the little seals you will need to re use the originals, so dont throw those away**

termo001

Hey guys im reaching out for help again, This time im gonna work on all the suspension parts since i have started to get a clunking sound in my front left suspension... what should i replace, im trying to make 1 order to save on shipping so far i have this list

Radius rod bushings - Moog
Sway bar end links front and back-Moog
Outer tie rods-Moog
Front Lower ball joint-Moog

What else should i change like inner tie rod, Upper arm bushings or ingalls arm?
Anything in the rear suspension or Wheel Bearings?

civicdrivr

Take a look at the lower control arm bushings. If theyre cracked, replace them. Its easier to replace the entire arm. Same with the rear.

termo001

thanks civicdrivr i have decided to change all the bushing pretty much. I searched the forums for the front suspension and know what to get except for the upper arm. I dont know if i should get the Igalls arms? I dont if those bushings are rubber or poly? I rather have poly

All so didnt find anything on the rear suspension for bushings ? What does everyone replace there Rear upper an lower arms/bars with?

DuwayneWebPro

really fresh looking.

nice work

termo001

I been working on the car just waiting on a few parts if they ever get here I ordered some super grease online 3 times and they were all cancelled then i called 3 local shops they didn't have any of it so i had to put an order in with one of the shops hopefully i get it today........any way here is my rear big break kit jk

termo001

new EBC rotors to match the front BBK soon to be installed

termo001

So after 150,xxx miles on the car the auto transmission has given out. I had it replaced by the dealer at 32,xxx miles. So im looking into having it converted but i want to find the parts and take it to get it rebult before i have someone install it for me so i can save some money.

My question is Is the 07 or 08 TL S 6 speed the best trans? will it work and/or is it the same as getting a accord 6speed and adding the LSD. is there a gear difference? is the TL S ^ speed stronger than the accords?
