You may need to clear the group buy with the mods. I think they don't want you doing group buys unless its an approved product.

I would just post the meet information, and let Ace Alloy Wheels know that we have a few members that would be interested in purchasing items from them. Like jlukja said, unless they're a board vendor they won't be able to start a Group Buy thread in the Sponsored Sales forum.

So jlukja, what part of LBC are you at? I saw a PWP TSX a few days ago near 7th and PCH. But it was a woman driving it.

I don't think it was our TSX. I don't think the wife took it out for errands, she usually takes the Civic. We're close to Palo Verde and Spring St., north of CSULB and between the LB Airport and Eldorado Park.

You live nearby or were you just visiting?

I work south of the Airport! Off of Kilroy Airport Way, across the street from DeVry. Basically at the corner of Spring and Lakewood. That's a nice area there. I love hanging out at El Dorado park. And our company softball team plays there.

Whoa, that's where the TSX focus group met last year. I was there. Either way, that's pretty close. Howdy neighbor!!! I work in downtown LA and take a vanpool (gaudy Enterprise artwork on the side) from the Target parking lot (Bellflower Blvd just south of the 405).

Cool! I know where that Target is! I go to that McDonalds sometimes. But more often to the Wendy's across the street, and to Baja Fresh, Circuit City, Comp USA, and Pick-Up Stix down the street at the corner of Stearns and Bellflower.

Actually, I'm like only at our Long Beach location 2 days out of 5. I drive around from real estate office to office for a living. I actually have 5500 miles on my car, and it's only been 3 months since I've bought it! But of course, I love driving it, especially since I got the CAI

Weather and Directions

This is where we are meeting, in the blue circle. I can make it clearer if you guys want:



Looks like the weather will be fair/good for the Irvine Spectrum. Regardless, it's still on, rain or shine:

Just swing on by without your car. Sleeper is doing so. It'd be cool to have you there, car or not.

And ya, what are you doing to your car that you need to have the engine out of it and mounted on chains ?

Madico onyx tints 35% front 20%rear
Kosei K1 TS 17x8 (gunmetal 15.4lbs per wheel)
Fuzion ZRI 235/45/17 on all 4 wheels
Interior leds
Carbotech Bobcat front brake pads (Red)
Axxis Ultimate rear brake pads
mt fluid - penzoil synchromesh (no more 1-2 grinds)
heart fluid - castrol gtx

and the coup de grace is hondata... i've set an appointment tomorrow with doug from hondata at church automative. I got lucky cause i was one of 1st people to email him about reflahing my car and i live right near them. i will also post dyno tomorrow after i get home but i dont know when cause i might just be driving around.

Nice! Good to hear. Let us know what you think of the increase torque curve as well as the lower 5k VTEC engagement point.

Seriously Hondata, I'm going to be one of the firsts, if not first AT doing this mod.

hey hey, who said asians are small huh, we pack a lot of ponies under the hood too but you know, that's where that rear seat split comes to work, we can probably fit 3 mo with the rear seats down, so make that 8

And who said us Asians are small? It's not the size that matters here!
