darn it, when is the latest time you can be here until? 1pm? I'm heading over to Spectrum a bit early with both Cobalt and AZ, try to make it early or let me know when will be a good time. We can always have ourselves a mini meet before the big meet

What do you guys think? Should I go?
I think we may be getting another "chick" that's coming as well. I'll have to check on that. But like Kai said, you're more than welcome to swing on by!

Kai (Kevin), Cobalt (me, Omar), and AlterZgo should be there by 1:00, so swing on by early! Meet starts at 2:00, but since Kai and I are "hosting" it, we figure that we should be there early.

J, if joerocket swings by early, you're more than welcome to come on by. Worse comes to worst, you can check out PalidanX's system. He has an upgraded system in his car as well.

You can count on that. There are plenty of TSXs in this meet with modifications for both looks and performance.

Cobalt is actually a pretty good driver, took me up to the twisties behind his house and drove like a raped ape, it was sweet!!! Got the chance to really feel how stable the car was, and the car actually "oversteered"!! hey when do we get to do that again Cobalt... with your car of course

Joe, so are you able to make it to the meet? PM me your schedule bro

Let's see you get into my car and make it do what it's supposed to do!

But joking aside, you're welcome to drive my car with my mods Jlukja and really feel the difference btwn yours and mine.

Thanks! Shite, we can do it any time you're in the area. The more and more I learn this car, the more I push it on the twisties. Hondata is gonna be a double-edged sword for me. Faster car to stab myself with, sigh...

Man that sucks!

But haha about the cop confusing your car! You should try to get out of it on the grounds that it wasn't your car. Try to bring up some legal ish about it not being an RSX hehe.

I was just about Cobalt's driving. I've never met him, nor have I seen him drive. He could probably hand me my on a silver platter. I like the twisties as much as the next guy but I hardly ever go out to absolutely shred them. Plus, I drive an AT now. Although it has SS its just not the same as MT, only pretend. Last time we were on Hwy 1 around Big Sur I started to push it a little bit and my wife told me to slow it down as soon as she heard the first tire squeal. Oh well, I'm . What can I say.

Naw, I drive AT too. But sometimes I still manage to get in trouble I knew that you were razzing me in good fun!

And as long as you love your wife, it's ok to slow down hehe. Just push it when she's not there.

Thank you everybody for a GREAT Meet!

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to say thanks from me and KaiKai114 for a great and awesome meet! I wished we could have hung out a little bit more, but too bad Irvine Spectrum Security kicked us out!

I hope you guys enjoyed the little loop that we went on, even with the un-planned and un-mapped detours Thank jlukja for the original loop idea, and Kai for the nice detours we took.

There were many pictures that were taken today so stay tuned for those! For those of you that took pictures,
Please post your pics in this thread https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...175#post398175
so that the mods won't move this thread.

Once again, thank you for attending and making this a wonderfully sucessful event. It was nice to finally put a face to some of those screen names and avatars here in the forums. I hope you guys were able to admire each other's cars, talk about our TSXes, and hopefully, make new friends in the process. I know that I personally enjoyed meeting all of you today, and definitely plan to keep in to touch with you in the future.

We had a total of 16 TSXes show up today, as well as their friends and family! I believe off the top of my head, we had about 5 to 6 non-TSXes that showed up as well to join in on the fun. Here's a list of the attendees and what each of them drove:

I figure one of the easiest ways to discern people is by their rims/wheels or by major mod so here we go,

Vwong (SSM w/Volk 19"s)

KaiKai114 (SSM w/[Insert Brand Here] 18"s)

PalidanX (CG w/Spoiler and upgraded audio system)

CobaltForge (CG w/TL rims)

jlukja (PWP, stock)

Sleeper (came in his brother's Black 01 TL)

gbaker (MR, stock)

Ourquieta (PWP, w/Kyowa 20"s)

loxllxol (SSM, w/Maya 20"s)

Drkangel348 (SSM, w/Injen Intake)

JoesTSX (his TSX is still on order, but thanks for joining us!)

AlterZgo (MR, Comptech springs)

ViEtNiGGiE (CG, brand new stock)

taewlee (CG, w/Hondata)

Shaang (ABP, w/Volks; check out his thread in the Private Sales section: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...highlight=volk)

kammerz (NBP, w/OWM Silver Star 17"s)

Corbon91 (NBP, sorry Corbon, don't remember what you had in your car!)

jeffreytchui (TSX in the shop, came in his brother's Accord)


So that's 18 ATSX members, 16 of them with their cars. Great showing!

Red face Doh!


Sorry! Forgot about:

TSX 3Pedal (ABP, Injen Intake)

So the true count should be 17 TSXes, 19 ATSX Board members. Sorry once again TSX 3Pedal, and thanks for correcting my glaring mistake!
