October 7, 200520 yr check this item out on ebay. claims the item fits 1997 2.2L vtec acura and also a host of gen 1 subaru! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Acura-2-2CL-Subaru-1400-1600-Brake-Caliper_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33563QQitemZ8004245275QQrdZ1
October 7, 200520 yr interesting.... would also be interesting to see what the rest of the acura front end looks like......
October 7, 200520 yr it says they only have one... its cheap... maybe just pick it up and check it out... its hard to tell by just looking at it but its the same kinda look as the ones on my 79... HMMMMM...
October 8, 200520 yr I'll let you know. The pic in the auction is only a representation. Not the actual caliper. They said it's JUST the caliper, (unloaded). I have dealt with auctionfrontier before and was pleased. Todd
October 13, 200520 yr Well the caliper is exactly the same as the gen 1 cars! So we now have a new cross-reference! Todd
October 13, 200520 yr Well the caliper is exactly the same as the gen 1 cars! So we now have a new cross-reference! Todd That's a very obscure cross-reference, too... have you taken the caliper to a part store and compared it to one that is known to be for that acura? I get this sneaking suspicion that the acura part was a misprint...
October 13, 200520 yr Something doesn't quite add up here. I find it hard to believe that Honda, one of the most technically advanced automobile companies, was still using 1978 technology on a 1997 car that was $22k for the base model? Although the calipers for a 1997 CL look damn close to the one in the picture, there must be slight differences. It would be cool if it was true though...kind of like how you can get Subaru 4-pots and brake pads from the Nissan dealer:)
October 14, 200520 yr So... I wonder if that means that performance brakes for an acura can be adapted to a gen 1???
October 14, 200520 yr Hi, Todd (You are bidding on 1 (Front Left) acura Brake Caliper as we do not have a second in stock) The acura is using rear hand brake and Subaru is using front hand brake. So how about the hand brake mechanism even thought the brake body look like the same? Regards Chu

Who'd going to crawl under the next Acura CL they see?Regardless,I'm sure something can be done.All it takes it time and money.
