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.

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:

SUPER BAD NEWS! Okay,................
So i visit the body shop today and they tell me that they did not order a new engine mount for my car until today and it is back ordered from Honda for a week. I dont know if I can make it to the meet if my engine is hanging on chains.
Sorry guys but please put me on tentative.

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.

unfortunately i can't bring my tsx, but at least i'll be able to bring another acura. so jeff, make it if you can w/o the tsx just to hang with us. even if you brought an is or 325, we'd still let you be a part of the meet. ok, we might....
i think we're all going to have to experience that for ourselves. it's good that the tsx fits 4 adults (5 if they're asian ).

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
