I check the site pretty often. Don't really like getting on FB group pages. Everyone is looking for a free hand out and no one does their research anymore.


But as to the meet and connections, I'm surprised no one has a professional connection (aside from the work connections) with the local Acura dealerships. Subie owners get discounts from some of the Subie dealers with they mention their forum/club.

For one of our meets this Summer we should go to Rockfalls Raceway in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. It's a 1/4 mile drag strip. The last time I went there was in 2009, it's pretty fun. They've got certain Saturdays/Sundays with classes like the Sport Compact Drag Race that we'd be able to run at.

If you need any help with your TL-S just let me know. I just did my timing belt/water pump yesterday and just finished today, now she's running smooth!! I've been lazy and holding off on changing those for 2 years and 17k miles past due but finally decided to complete it!!

I'm from Cloquet, nice to see another active member from the area.

Doesn't seem like the snow will ever let up, up this way. Supposed to get another 1-3 inches. I finally got my car back from the body shop the other day and had to rebuild the driver side headlight. I'm not sure how much time i'll have this summer for meets. My wife and I are having a baby and she is due July 5th. Possibly a late spring / early summer meet could work?

Well, there are tons of events this summer from the looks of it, weekly meets, shows, bigger shows, etc. The MNNI show is coming up at the end of April which should be the real opening of the season. I'm sure more will pop up as the season goes on.

Also, there are a ton of 3g TL owners that I see around now that I've never seen before. You guys that still have acuras should start spreading the word and maybe have a big regional acura meet up here. I know I was talking to some wisconsin acura guys while I had my TL and they wanted to have a big meet too but haven't talked to them since i lost mine.

Ive been hanging out with the accord guys lately and we have a meet coming up on the 16th and have another bigger one planned with some wisconsin owners too some time in the summer.

Also if you guys need some good detail work, tint or alarm/remote start stuff, hit up Yelo Autosport. Theyre cool guys and do awesome work. I also do the alarm/remote start installs for them too. They are also an official dealer for opti-coat which is some pretty awesome shit.

Hey everyone! While I'm not from MN I'm over there quite a bit as I have a good friend that lives in Ham Lake. I recently just picked up a 05' 6MT. Mechanically its sound, and I'm just starting to work on it. I'd love to attend a meet or cruise sometime if you guys have one.

Nice, these guys havent been too active lately but when something comes up, everyone usually shows up. Just make sure to check back here every once in a while. Also kinda have a facebook group that we are all in too, Minnesota Acuras, although it's pretty dead there too, lol. We'll usually post there and here if anything comes up.

Hey hey! Welcome to the Twin Cities Acura Group! We haven't had an official Spring meet yet for the Twin Cities Acura group yet but hopefully we will soon since the weather has been perfect on the weekends for a cruise, a bbq, hanging out, etc!

Several car shows/meets this weekend! Looks like great weather too!

Saturday 5/21, 9am-Noon
Society of the Lead Foot
761 W 78th St.
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Details: Welcome to our car show May 21 at 761 West 78th Street in Chanhassen, MN at the BMO Harris Bank Building next to Target in Chanhassen! I do realize that this conflicts with the Caffeine and Gasoline Show, but this was planned many months ago and cannot be rescheduled. Voting for your favorite car at the show and some food and beverages will be provided from 9:00 AM to Noon. Some door prizes may also be given at the show! Many of the cars owned by members of the Minnesota Exotics and Supercars will be in attendance, so come and have a look! For those who attend, parking in the bank lot will be for the show cars only because of the limited space there, but there is parking at Target(short walk) and across the street either at the public library or at the Lunds/Byerly's lot. The show is sponsored by BMO Harris Bank, Family Podiatry Clinic(my clinic), and Wise Insurance Agency.

Since I'll be driving up from Rochester, I'll probably just head right to the meet/show. But let me know if anyone puts something together to roll in.

Guys,
This may be a long shot but after 185k i'm looking to replace my stock suspension. So if anyone has their OEM strut/spring (preferably 6sp) i'd like to take it off your hands for a reasonable price. Please let me know if you have them laying around, thank you.

I know you posted this about a month ago but I still have my OEM springs from my 04 6MT if you still need to buy them.

Anyone interested in going to Cars and Coffee on July 1st? I will be going. I see it has changed locations from the Auto Motorplex to Canterbury park it looks like it is a lot easier to get in and out of than the old place. We could all meet up at the McDonalds on Canterbury Road and 12 Ave E, just off 169, around 7:30-8:00am and roll in together. I'll start the list with my name.

Going to July 1st Cars and Coffee
