Wooooorrrrkkkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinggg....otherwise I woulda gone out there. Sounded like a good way to spend a Sunday. And all you complainin bout the heat must be true Oregonians..this is just a little warm weather.
It's goin to get a little on the hot side later this week tho..then this thread is gonna turn into an Oregon weather thread instead of talk of Acuras..LOL

I'm looking for realtime 4wd civic wagon so I can do a newer d16 w/ 6spd manual turbocharged. Just gotta look for the right price. They are hard to find, the 6 spds, well, for a good price.

I'm still working out a few bugs in my tune for my kpro / supercharger. I hope Hondata and Kenny (Tsx536) works out a solution for the idle issue soon. My car stalled 5 times so far and got honked at today.

I'll be swapping out my front pads with Hawk HP+ pads before I hit the track for a HPDE day in August. I had Hawk HPS pads last year and just after a few laps at PIR they were pretty faded. If the HP+ pads don't hold up then I'll have to look in to a BBK.

is it the air /fuel ratio at idle that causes it to die? im kinda glad i havent gotten Kpro yet.. it sounds like it fights too much between the 2 ecus.. i hope they just make the reflash pro for our car..

you should see the tuning solution that Jay has for his Si (mucter), from Cobb, it's freakin awesome and working with DBW and half the price of kpro, now only if they'd come out with it for the tsx are you listening to this Jay?????? lol
