    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    I'm using Mobil1 5W-20. No idea what the previous owners were using it though.. I was told that adjusting after 50 - 60K miles would be a sporty / aggressive driver's thing. I could have reached 40K mi. but oh well. There could be one factor, which is that I didn't change the motor oil for 8K...

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Well, just because I started to spend some time on my Accord lately, my CL started to get jealous and grabbed my attentions for a need of getting the valve lash adjustment done... :facepalm: Noticed a minor ticking sound coming from the engine bay from time to time, but it really got worse...

    Richard's '02 V6 Coupe EX-L

    That's right, it is actually to diffuse the fire in the bay, not really an insulator nor sound deadener to begin haha. I bought a '11 Pilot as new, and she didn't come with that fancy blankie either. My LED tubes are hooked up to the headlights' inner parking lights, and I use the lights all...

    Richard's '02 V6 Coupe EX-L

    Been wanting to remove this filthy bay hood cover thing for a while, and I finally had a chance to get it done. Not exactly sure if I'd get a new replacement for it, but this is good enough for me now. :boink:

    Richard's '03 CL-S 6MT

    Had a chance to stop by and say hello to my local window filming shop. I was able to remove all of the side windows' previously, but I just couldn't be confident enough to remove the rear's w/o messing up the defroster, which is working perfectly fine. He told me the film has deteriorated so...

    Richard's '02 V6 Coupe EX-L

    Speaking of CF, I just remembered that I still have the AIT roof spoiler I bought from John Kn0x47 that's been sitting in my garage for years lol. But yea CF can be very addictive, like that R32 old Japanese guy saying nothing but "Kah-bon Fye-bah" in SEMA show, if you know what I mean lol. You...

    Hello from Germany!

    Ditching the amber tail lights? Come on, those are nice n unique set! It's interesting to see ppl in the EUDM likes to get USDM parts, whereas the USDM folx being vice versa lol. GL with the wiring and all that. The NSX tail is waiting for you. What? You can't run the German BBS LMs on your...

    Richard's '02 V6 Coupe EX-L

    Yea I know what you mean haha. This was an impulse buy on ebay I found. Honestly, I'm not sure what this thing is made out of lol. It looks very real to me for sure though. Here's the back side of it: The description says: CFAC Real Carbon Fiber Armrest Lid Cover for 98 - 02 Honda Accord. Paid...

    Richard's '02 V6 Coupe EX-L

    Me too lol! If that stupid old guy didn't hit my car in '16, I could've thrown in a set of retros in those and rocked with them until now haha. Yea I was in favor of hearing a SRI's louder throttle sound with the brighter sound of the vtec engagement. I actually did get a CAI for my CL, even...

    Richard's '02 V6 Coupe EX-L

    Been a minute, since I had an update on this car lol. I thought the Accord has been pretty much the same, ever since I bought the CL a few years ago, but I guess there were a little of bit of things that were done to the car such as getting: - DNA MOTORING headlights w/ built-in DRL + clear...

    Hello from Germany!

    Welcome to the site. Loving the wheels. What are those? I love how the EUDM coupe's trunk taillights don't light up with the parking / headlights turned on. Was something to do with the rear fog lights regulation iirc.

    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...
