    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Got the car back with new factory axles & half shaft parts components. Yay! No more vibrations! No more driving like a gran ma in a limping mode either. Man, I forgot how powerful this car was.. The acceleration on the 3rd & 4th gear is absolutely insane.. It's so much fun to drive this thing...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    At this point, no one knows how long I'll be nursing out this queen, when she gets her castle. Oh yeah, the queens are both in the same SMR color. :cheers: Yeah, man. It's so nice to have a beater! If I had the money, I would have finished up this swap game, immediately after getting this CL...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Yea that landing will def tell you it's the suspension lol. I hope you won't be a grandpa, when the swap is done.. But really, as far as the replacements go, while this car is being drivable, it should be just this, and the swap can happen w/o any additional work. (Maybe the heater core...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    I'm only thinking about getting the factory parts on these sections. Honestly, I didn't even believe in this chassis having a little aftermarket option for the new axles, until you mentioned now haha. OEM parts are durable AF in any ways, so I tend to stick with Honda's, unless the parts can't...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Got a little update on a car (a change in condition lol). Well, she's been running like a champ over the summer this year, but I recently started to notice some vibrations on the car when it accelerates, particularly on a hill, around 45 - 50 mph on the 4th gear... Before this, I've actually...

    DesiKid's 01 Accord Sedan EX-L

    Hey, no worries haha. So, if it's pretty much all about the wires, I guess we won't be needing the actual switch of the mirror from CL's eh? I'd assume setting into the mid position on the accord's would reverse the mirror. Oh snap, my bad, I meant to the VSA, not the ABS lmao! Yea getting an...

    https://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/threads/site-changes.53838/page-3 I happened to discover the problem and posted there.. Chris mentioned them a few times for me, but they couldn't get to resolve it.. Hence, there's a time frame to edit ur posts within abt a wk, like you said. I've been...

    DesiKid's 01 Accord Sedan EX-L

    Haha I can totally get the picture of ur dash then lol. Well, the cars are all cloned, so what can we say, right? Yea that auto side mirror tilting thing is one of the sweetest Type-S features besides the memory + heated seats imo, too! Well, I think dash is just a dash -- a panel. My...

    DesiKid's 01 Accord Sedan EX-L

    Oh ok, yea that's a bummer haha. That's right, I can rock with the cassette player adapter. I might be going with the Bluetooth FM transmitter then, if there's no oem HU around. I just like to use that steering wheel audio controller thing, but I guess a stock CL's HU is kinda being hard to come...

    DesiKid's 01 Accord Sedan EX-L

    That's right. I remember you were contemplating on getting a CL for the swap, right about the time when I got my CL. Well, you beat me for finishing that up haha! Actually, Evan has been helping me out on my swap project a lot from the beginning. I've been hitting him up from time to time...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Whether you're going to sell it or not, the car seems like it needs a little love and attention to go towards your decisions anyways. Being a "Teal"Ryder might not be such a bad idea after all.

    DesiKid's 01 Accord Sedan EX-L

    Congrats! So happy for you! I'm taking like 2.5 years to complete mine now lol. What's your plan on your CL then? I'm not asking for any parts, but I'm just curious, how other guys are dealing with gutted out CLs in general, when they're done with the swap. I might have to reconsider deleting...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Yea it's been like this for a few years. I'm just glad that I don't need to go thru all of that to deal with the hang I don't get.:smokin: Oh yeah, that butterfly valve thing from the J32. Well, it's no use, so it's not wired. I heard 90% ppl don't wire it, and it didn't seem to be worth it to...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Sounds like I don't get to deal with those electronically haha. GL with the SC. Yea I sometimes forget to inspect my ordered parts, after a few months, too haha. Luckily, they've all been okay when I opened them lol. IMRC.. Mani runner control? I'm not sure if I let the shop worked on that...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Thanks, Taseen! Sometimes, I hear people saying that the later J-series motors made after J32's in the year around '03+ are pretty much drive by wire, and those cars tend to have a little annoying throttle hang, when you let off the gas, which feels kind of bad. Maybe that's something you're...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Got a pair of new Falkens to semi-match my old Falkens, and had the wheels aligned at the shop. Car's quieter, and more stable regardless of wet / dry road condition now. It's so much fun to feel the acceleration on any gears throughout all RPM range, even on the wet roads. :driving: Found out...

    RR's '99 coupe EX-L

    Woa.. Wasn't expecting this from you. But that's totally understandable, when you have four kids. For some reasons, I thought you had two kids. Yea the coupe can definitely be a vintage by now, and it is truly one of a kind for sure. If it ever goes out to a different home, perhaps your...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Hey, thanks for checking! Oh snaps, sorry to hear about your coworker. Hopefully, the car protected the driver well. Yea this platform is kinda rare; I heard they only made about 2800 units, which I didn't know about it until I started hunting it down a few years ago lol. Right on, sounds...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    While the car has been running like a champ, there has been a bit of some vibration from one of my motor mounts. It's because the passenger side's Innovative mount did not fit correctly for some reason, and I kept rocking with the original (torn, too) mount. Sent out the car to the shop to get...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Got the car back and drove it about a week. DAMN.., THIS CAR IS SO MUCH FUCKING FUN TO DRIVE.. Since I’ve been driving this thing like a grandma on a limp mode from day one, two years ago, I never have realized how this car could be such a beast. When it speeds up, that additional 60HP from the...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    I'm not sure, if they ever changed their design, but as far as I know, the motor mounts that are designed its bushing facing out vertically would be the rear one for the AT motor & the front one(s) for both MT and AT motor. Their website's photo also says it. Maybe you thought I was talking...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Thanks! Haha I hear you lol keep the paint fresh! Good luck with your CL! I'm gonna put this motor back into the CL, and drive it as a beater for a while until I settle my plan for the swap. i.e. where/what/how to keep my gutted out CL afterwards etc. _____________________________ Got more new...

    ^Thanks! More photos. The oil pan is here, and this completes my parts supplying game. We'll see how it goes. The compressor will work till the swap, as well as the P.S. line. Clean for 148K right? Cleaned, adjusted, and new fuel rails installed Thanks for checking!:chewie:

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Got some progress, though the oil pan is still backordered. But it's got the ETA finally, Nov. the 15th! The clutch and the wheel are replaced. The cylinder heads are back from the machine shop, and those are in a good shape. Got the mounts bolted on, plus the alternator and headers. The headers...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Sent out the car to the shop to complete the stuff I documented on my previous post, and the motor is now gutted out. This is going to be the final parts replacement game, before the swap. My original plans for the areas of the replacement have been pretty much everything from the air intake to...
