I got a black 97 2.2 CL with 120,000 miles on it. I would like to know if 1 it is worth putting money into to make faster (not really interested in changing appearance) 2 What are somethings I can and should do to the car to do this, and 3 how much would it cost? Also it is a 5 speed manual

waste of time and money

I agree with Idratherb....The only Acura car worth Trickin out is the Integra Type-R, but goodluck actually finding a TRUE type-R. Half the Acura's you see running around have some sort of badge on them saying they're a Type-R, but in reality they only brought them to the States for two model years and only 1000 cars per year. The 2.2CL's would be a complete waste of time versus the Integra as the amount of aftermarket parts for the two is HEAVILY weighed to the integra. Actually, goodluck even finding aftermarket parts for the 2.2CL that wouldn't be for just replacement OEM problems.

Motor swap.....$2,000Turbo Kit......$2,000Basic boltons..$2,500Beating a cocky jerk with a 97 CL sleeper....Pricless!
