Im always lurking here but dont see too much action ..
one question. does anyone know a good salvage yard in austin?

Majofo

LKQ is my go to place.. wrenchapart on 71 if they don't have it.

BeezleTL85

I can lead

Majofo

You don't live here foo!

Shit.. as long as it's not Champ.

AustinTaper

Yes I sold my car and moved over to lexus, so while I may visit often I felt it was right to pass the torch to a more active AZ member. I had nominated you as my replacement majofo, as you're by far the most active amongst the Austin members. I'll still visit and meet up at local events though.

AustinTaper

pm distortedolskool (thread starter), he might be able to help install them for you. He installed my coils and also helped me raise them up for the buyer of my car. great guy and lives up north.

Majofo

bruh.. most of the og's here don't have acuras anymore.

I have no issue with you being leader, if you feel you'll be less active here because of the lex, I can understand, but if not.. carry the torch.

btw.. what did you get?

Majofo

Almost bought the wife an is-f.. it's her dream car, waiting for the rc-f to come out.. not to buy the rc-f, but I know the is-f price will come down.. I'm cheap.

I'd still be driving the junk Acura though.

AustinTaper

heh the Austin chapter is so dead there's not much to lead, bunch of lurkers

I picked up a pearl 07 gs350 RWD with only 55k miles on it. I just ordered some BC Racing coilovers and will drop it next week. I had limo tint done Saturday and will be having it professionally detailed inside/out on Sunday. Now to drool over what wheels to get...

Majofo

Nice.. you must have gotten a steal on it. I definitely like the interior trim. Coils and wheels will really make it standout. Please no super negative camber and VIP curtains.

AustinTaper

LOL! Nothing more than -1 I promise. I'm thinking along the lines of something like this...

Majofo

BeezleTL85

So you're saying there's a chance




Taper, that's gonna look ballerific, love the GS'

b52bgz

so, did your car stay local or?

trancemission

Yeah. Well it looks like you guys really dont need one for now. If things pick up Ill just make you the leader.

AustinTaper

yes a guy in Elgin had a 1st gen that got in a wreck, so it was nice to sell it to a person who appreciates the CL. I told him to check in here for meets.

b52bgz

A fairly well-behaved lot apparently. Even the poodle goes without collar or leash...

Majofo

Well.. he did wreck his car.

Majofo

Sure.. I just want us to have some representation so Champ doesn't go off and setup TX meets without considering us or even Dallas for that matter. We were supposed to have the Big As Texas meet in Austin again this year, then without checking with Taper or anyone else for that matter, they moved it to San Antone only to get cancelled / postponed.

Austin has a lot of events every year from ACL to F1. It's good to have a local member chiming in to let everyone know what's going down, what dates are good, and what events they might find interesting (like a F1 meetup). We can give you guys the lowdown on places to stay, eat, visit, park as well.

I'm still around and still having a blast driving the GTO. A bunch of imports and domestics got to the taco cabana on 360 and great hills trail on Saturdays starting at 10:30 ish. If your there and see me roll up Im in a silver GTO stop and say hi. Some people roll race and some just hand out. Anyone is welcome to come out. Brian I hate to see you get rid of your labor of love but at some point we have to move on to bigger and better things. The Austin chapter of azine is really hard to organize and always has. Who ever takes Brian's place has some big shoes to fill!!

nothin' there

taco cabana in gateway maybe, 360&183?

kurtatx

Is it sinful to say I have lived here for three years and have yet to go to Taco Cabana?

Majofo

It's sinful to have been here 3 years and not found yourself back to Chicago yet

Ludenight_RSX

Happy Black History Month!

Marlon

anyone in Austin able to help with replacement of the loading Mechanism for the Navi? I think im doing it wrong ...

Majofo

Do you mean you bought a new drive unit? link?

Marlon

no my friend, I bought a new loading Mechanism. it does come with an optical laser drive. if you are familiar with the 2005 navi set up you will understand.


anyway. I think I fucked up the ribbon connector because my navi unit doesn't not get any power. it does not light up or takes the navi disc.

Judging from the lack of activity in this thread and the activity in the Houston/DFW/San Antonio threads, it looks like Austin became a ghost town for TL owners.

...which doesn't explain why I see TLs a million times a day.

Majofo

I work with two guys who own TLs.. If they only knew
Most TL owners I see are women.. and everyone knows Acurazine is a sausage party.

Majofo

... and I don't own a TL anymore.

web_edge

i still have mine since i drove it off the lot back in 2005.
