Whatsup everbody, names Tucker and im new to AcuraZine, have been on for a while. I'm real glad I actually found a forum thats active & has a CL section haha

This is my First Honda/Acura, after an 89 mr2 sc, 00 sienna, 93 cs 90 q, 99 528i, 96 maxima and a 00 durango.

Needless to say, im in love with this car. so the story goes:

I sold my Audi late november of 08 and picked up a 1998 CL2.3 with 52k on the clock. It was a 5 speed and completely stock aside from a Sony xplod head unit.

the day i picked it up

it had the stock 5 spoke splits on it.. and unfortunatley i cant find any more pics from the day i got it.

from there I started small and swapped out the signals for some smoked ones along with an SRI. I also mounted up from snows for the terrible weather.

oh and it was cleaned two days before that picture...


Shortly after those two.. i swapped the speakers + system. i went with polk 6.5's in the doors and kicker 6x9's in the rear deck, two eclipse 12's and a kicker zx amp. during this time i also installed a rear view camera.
(no picture, sorry)

I also went with some ultra white's


i decided it was lacking something from the front end. so i refinished the grill full satin black and love it.


now it was finally starting to shape up more into what i was going for. got some new headers and a 2.5 cat back custom exhaust with a straight glass pack muffler. i love the way it sounds, although im yet to record the sound. lazy me.

So here it sits now. come the spring, ill be dropping it along with some 17's or 18's, a WW lip and either the WW type R spoiler or the OEM.

incredulous1

damn that looks nice.
nice 15's. those wheels actually look nice. tires are way too big for my taste though

hOnU

looks nice bro! welcome and looks like you're off to a good start! btw what headers you got??

Anhedonia

thanks man
yeah i like the wheels, the tires are way too big. they were some snows i had mounted on some steelies from my old E39, so i just transfered them to some 4 lugs and mounted em up haha

im actually thinking about going 17x 7's of the same wheel, with probably some falken 912's

Anhedonia

Well, for now ive got some generic Stainless 4-2-1 high flow ones off ebay, they sound great, although the car hasnt been dynoed to see if there was any gain. id assume so, it feels faster then when i first got it.. but who knows? lol

hOnU

i think that's the last thing that i have on my mods list..i'm pretty much done (just waiting to get some quotes so i can repaint my ww front lip and slap that on) other than that i think i'm done, maybe headers but not sure if i wanna shell out $300-400 for some DC or Greddy Headers..

Our supplier for neons, vtec&flame stickers, supra wings and truck nutz is "NBENNETTKSU". He will be more than happy to assist you.

Anhedonia

yes, yes i did haha, was my first car. my parents split, mom moved to texas, i drove it for four months before i sold it for my mr2. it was badass. i wish i had a picture. roof rack delete, 4-10" kicker l7's, chipped + intake. lmfao.

as for the bigger wheels, yessir, in the works. just my snows that are on right now..

Anhedonia

yeah.. my honest opinion? not worth it. your basically buying the header for 100$ and the name for 200-300. im jealous of your lip, I want one

Also, do you have white rims in the avatar? small for me to see.. i thought about that, but called plain stupid for it :-p

Anhedonia

....

why would I want to rice out my CL...? unless theres some humor in here im missing

Welcome tucker, I'm really feeling the look you're going for, I would suggest blackhousing your headlights satin black to match the grill

i should get a referral for this one. lol

hOnU

yea that's what i was thinking, i don't think i reallie need headers..but we'll see. yes i have a front lip but it's just sitting in my room for like the past 6months cuz i wasn't done lowering my car and didn't want to put it on and have it scrape all over the place! but i'll get it on soon hopefully!
i don't have white rims, those are stock 97 2.2 rims, i'm currently on 18inch g-racing seki's now..i gotta get a new avatar

if you have an F22 dont waste a dime on a header, especially if you aspire to have an H22 one day.

Same here. We just sold our old Previa and got a new Ody but still have the Sienna. It was funny because at one time we had 3 vans in out driveway.

But anyway, nice car man and great start! Oh, and welcome to the AZine forums!

Oh Bennett has all sorts of high quality stuff for cheap that will give you some huge gains and will make you baller status in no time.

Welcome! I like the car, except for the obvious snow tires lol. Slam, STOCK wing instead of type R one unless ur gonna cut it down, and some nice wheels will have her lookin even prettier


Matt i'm assuming u know this person or something with the referral comment?

oh and btw. red text = sarcasm

Anhedonia

haha ill give it to you, but your name's 732 on honda t3k so i got confused

Anhedonia

thanks man, good to finally get some feedback haha

no there definetly not haha.. those are my winters, i dont have a picture of it with the stock's on. the stocks are the standard 5 spoke split alloys that came on the 2.3's

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-2001-2003-50/fast-cheetah-ko-kane-711450/ It's an inside joke in the second gen forum.

Ron A's usually on top of things

I know what sarcasm is, CM doesn't even own a 1st gen yet he comes in here with that bs that has absolutely nothing to do with anything

I realize that, but let's keep it in the 2nd gen forum

Anhedonia

ahh understandable. i have never seen red used in sarcasm. this was new to me

mitch14

Welcome to AZine Tucker car looks pretty good to start with and def low mileage. I just can't see much of the car cuz i keep focusing in on those huge ass tires how much ground clearance do you have now?


^just making sure who's style i'll be stealing in the spring time, good to know

Anhedonia

haha, i didnt change the overall diameter of the wheel and tire.. just shrunk down form the stock 16's to the 15's lol.. with some big ass tires

there hideous, i know, but i dont get stuck in shit!

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

They're freakin snow tires, get over it already

732xghost

iTrader: (1)

i sent him a PM hopefully it works.

Anhedonia

lol, I thought that in saying they were snows multiple times in my original post, people would understand...

Anhedonia

is there a way to say that I got referred to you now? I tried looking through the CP but couldnt find anything

732xghost

iTrader: (1)
