    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Hey, thanks for checking. Yea, I've been only posting stories and highlighting them these days on IG haha. This car has been very super reliable, useful, and comfortable lately, compared to 4 years ago from day one. My Accord can still run (shift lol) okay, so it's taking forever to get the swap...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    It's hard to start sometimes, but it gets hard to stop, once you start going, right? :lawl: Decided to renew the 22 year old shifter cable. The cable on the car isn't falling apart or anything right now, but the shifter jerks sometimes when it's shifting to the 4th gear. Was planning on simply...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Not so sure if I ever revealed my age up here, but I'm 46.:hide: There were two major changes I noticed to my body, when I entered into the 40's -- joints & muscles. Used to have no problems of working on the engine bay by standing and leaning against the bay for hours in my 30's. but not so...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Got this thing at a Japanese dollar shop called Daiso to remove some rust in the engine bay. This is a half-way progress, but I ended up almost polishing up the entire thing lol. I'll try to work on a few more areas, when my lower back allows me lol. Updated the OP for a little bit...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Nothing much, besides a casual inspection, after removing the face plate and the top head. I was just manually checking the mechanism of the disk changer and the disc ejecting assembly. I ended up removing 2 discs that were left out within the slots, but that's about it. Oh snap, maybe it's...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Removed the defective '01 HU I bought, and reinstalled my original '03 HU that I recently disassembled & extracted two old discs. Wow, it's working! I didn't think I could fix it tbh lol. This playa's in the game. let's go! :burnout:

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Thanks! Yea my threads became like resumes of my cars lol. It really helps me keep track of what I've done, and figure out what to do next! Well, all of the 2nd gen CL players are compatible to each other, because they basically share the same part numbers. Also all of the pinouts are the...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Here's the '01 CL non-NAV HU I bought in order to resolve my '03 HU's CD playa being n/a. It was filthy as hell, when I unboxed the package, so I cleaned the hell out of this sucker. A lot of screws and panels need to be removed lol. I had to take this pic to memorize which ones to go back...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Forgot to document this dent removal project I've had a few weeks ago lol. A clueless kid slammed into here with his bicycle. He was coming from a downhill with a full speed, not knowing there would be cars making a turn. There was quite an impact, but he stood right up, and started to walk, so...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Been self-complimenting the engine bay lately, ever since I removed the hood liner lol. Then, I noticed that there were two sections where water has been getting into the bay! One of the sections was by the driver side's head light, where it meets the hood panel when it closes. The headlight...

    2002 Accord 4 Door Special Edition- need a new alternator

    I can almost be sure to say, pretty much anything made out of that country is very hard to call things "genuine". Did you know that they have a fake Disney land? Their cars look all copied out, too lol I remember Japanese brands did outsource cheaper production lines in China at one point...

    2002 Accord 4 Door Special Edition- need a new alternator

    I would stay away from the current Denso products. It's because their parts aren't really made in Japan anymore.. At least my new Denso ignition coils for my CL weren't.. They only lasted for a few years until last month.. On the other hand, my Accord's 22-year-old factory coils are still rock...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    My driver's side windshield washer sprayer has been clogged since day one, 4 years ago, and I FINALLY fixed it! Here are some pics! Removed and ditched the 21-year-old nasty hood linear, so I could clean out the build-ups in the tube with the air compressor & the pipe cleaner brush to get the...

    Boshi's SSM 2001 Accord Sedan LX

    Yeah I love the design. It's got very nice constructions, too; They don't use clamps between the piping assemblies, like Magnaflow's, and these are all bolt-on's with gaskets as well. If your exhausts rubber hangers are 23 years old, renewing them, or replacing them with Poly-u's might be...

    Boshi's SSM 2001 Accord Sedan LX

    I have those Tanabes on my CL, and ppl around me seem to like how these sound. Well, except for my neighbors in the early morning lol. These are supposed to be a bit quieter than other brands, but definitely not a stock-quiet spec as you might know. But they look so good, right!? You should...

    Thanks! The progress is slow like a turtle in a cruise control mode right now, but it's getting there!

    Snip33r: 2000 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe (In with new car)

    Congrats on getting back to the CG game. Sounds like the car is gonna get some love there with your preserved parts. I hope you are not affected by the terrible storm and flood happened recently at your place tho.

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    I had to get them all new.. :shocked: These will most likely be my BD gifts lol. A little throw back pic from last year. Notice that I have little stickers on the CL's coil packs (says Made in China..) I got none of that now! Day 1 (bottom) vs. Day 1430 (top) before the coil packs failure.

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Hey, thanks for your feedback. I guess things have changed, and who knew that I was gonna get those sets made in China lol. I guess this explains that I just mistakenly went out with a set of POS, and I did get what I paid for lol. I should have gone with those factory Hitachi sets in the first...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Been a while since the last update here, as the life has been like somewhat being on a roller coaster lol. Mean while, the car has been treating me very well, after getting all of that resto-modded work prior to the motor swap. But it was until she threw me a CEL flashing with a bunch of...

    Chasing an IACV Issue

    Not so sure if the symptom I had is exactly the same as yours, but I remember my RPM used to fluctuate a little bit, while at a stop light. When I searched for a solution up here, I ended up suspecting the air leakage by the stock air intake box. I had one of the corner sections, where the top...

    My passenger side's power seat reclining function was out of the game, ever since I got the car 4 years ago. It really wasn't necessary to fix it, because no one hardly ever sits, but it caught my attention, when the driver's side started to quit reclining two days ago lol. Recalled myself of...

    How can we get 6thgen more activity?

    Your comment actually reminded me to revive my account on V6P after all these years. I recall joining them before 6GA, and I thought I should do that now. Was surprised to see how things have changed over there, I've totally forgotten about that lol. Anyhow, it's very nice to check out some...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Nothing but caps on this post lol. Replaced the nasty one with the semi-newer one, when I renewed the one on my Accord's years ago. Got a new set for only $50! These are usually $25 per piece, like it says on the screen. The caps were originally for my Accord's BBS in the future, but I...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    I love the way the instrument panel looks on the 3G TL's. Wish that the dash panel surface wouldn't get cracked so easily.. right? 2G = Bubbled. 3G = cracked lol. Btw, I recently have discovered that the design of the CL's instrument panel is actually older than the 6th gen Accord's. You had...
