What'd you do to your accord today?

looks good. The yellow on black reminds me of the batmobile (1989=best one yet)

It's more for the 6MT than the J32A2, don't wanna be all show, and PRND go
I'm on an active hunt to find a low mileage 6MT 2003 CL Type S. As soon as I can get one, planning on cannibalizing the engine, tranny, ECU, wire harness, shift linkage, etc, in addition to, dash and seats......

That was my plan as well. Find a non-abused CL Type S, hopefully 6MT, driven by some old guy and buy that. Then assuming the tranny does well, swap my original motor and tranny into the Type S, and take it's contents and put them into the Accord. Then after everything I want out of the CL is done, sell it again.

But now that I think about it, I'd have a low mileage body with like a 200k+ motor and tranny in it. Doesn't seem like a good option

Weathertechs finally arrived today after 2 weeks of waiting. They don't really flex and they're about double the weight of my current AVS in-channels. Quality seems top notch. Now I can see why they cost 2x's as much as others. But I could've sworn the rears are supposed to have an adhesive but mine doesn't have them.

I hear what you're saying, my Accord has 150K km on it, found a CL Type S with a 119K km, but the price and distance were a little too high. Anyways, would not buy the CL Type S donor if it's got more on the odometer than the recipient.

Sounds like my night. I'm sure I'll find spots I missed tomorrow though since I washed it without much light.

no you swap in the motor w/tranny and the dash, all electronics, ac, and seats, then part out the rest :thumbsup:
