National Acurazine Meet

So who else is down for the National Acurazine Meet in Kansas City this year?? We've got a pretty good group here from MN that come to the local meets. Now we just need some more to travel down to KC!

It's being planned right now, and the dates are set. It will be the weekend of June 13-14, with the actual car show being on Sunday June 14th.

There will be many various activities planned such as dinners, lunches, get togethers, go-karts, ect...all planned that weekend.

I know that Jorge, Nyle, and myself are going for sure. I think that Yousef said that he was in for this year as well, right??

Who else??

This will be my 5th year going down, and I can tell you it's a great time! The Jay Wolfe Acura dealership in KC along with the local Acura KC crew really does an awesome job planning out the event! Prizes, giveaways, awards for the cars...

Do they have a section for "Acura Sierras" to participate in? I feel it's a one of a kind machine, you have to appreciate it...

Yes, please do! It truly is a great time with a TON of Acura cars and good people!

I usually leave early on Thursday morning. That way I've got Thurs night and Fri day to do whatever I want before all the festivities begin on Friday night with the BBQ dinner.

Some come in on Friday, and some even show up on Saturday. Just depends on what everyone's schedule allows.

What time does it start? If that's the time you guys are heading there I may have to just meet you at B4B, that's to early for me to wake up and make a 2 hour drive.

Hello everyone! I am from the Twin Cities and looking to join you all in the upcoming events. Does anyone know of any good places around the Twin Cities to get a alignment done on my 08 Tl-S? Is Firestone's unlimited alignment a good deal or should I look somewhere else? Thanks!

I bought the lifetime alignment from Firestone when I had my 98 Civic, it's definitely worth it. I haven't had any reason to get an alignment on my TL so that's why I haven't gotten it for that.

I dont know if firestone has in-ground alignment racks, but a few tires plus do. I have lifetime at tires plus. I would check to see if how many firestone stores have in-ground racks first before you go with it If you ever plan on dropping your car.

I was thinking about getting a lifetime alignment deal at Firestone, but I have been reading reviews around where i live any they are rated poorly. I'm considering going to either to Sears, or what Walleyeman suggested, Tire Plus.

Thanks for the tip! I will check to see if they have a in-ground rack. I plan on lowering my TL down the road. Which Tire Plus do you go to? I don't want to get an alignment at a shop where they will purposely sabotage my car or do a bad job on the alignment. Would you recommend Sears?

I think the Firestone in Bloomington (9300 Lyndale Ave S, Bloomington, MN 55420) has an in-ground alignment rack. My Civic was lowered and I bought a Skunk2 camber kit for my front and they didn't run into any issues with the alignment.

I know a few of the stance guys go to the tires plus in Maplewood. I normally go to the one in woodbury, they both have in ground racks. I heard the coon rapids one has an in ground rack too but they've become assholes about doing alignments on dropped cars.

Yeah I'll be there, but not until later in the day probably around 930-1000. I'm not going to be staying long. I'm going to the Twins game at 1:00.
