i'm gonna go wash it right now, but where i live there is lots of dust and mess, i will most likely have to wash it again before the meet, maybe just come earlier to the meet and find a car wash there in schaumburg

and yea i got no time to wax the car, at this point a good old fashion hand wash should be enough
Haha... if you want we can drop my K&N in so the Hondata can breathe a little more and take your resonator out. It'll need to be done anyway.

i have an injen cai, i already took out the resonator, but i installed the injen 30,000 miles ago and i didn't clean it yet, but i have no time, so i ordered a new filter for the injen, this way i will always have one stocked at home (cleaned of course) and all i would need to do is a swap every like 10,000 to make sure it will breath right........ come to think of it, i will have about 2000 miles on this oil change, i might do an oil change for this meet, but yea i hope that the filter by a miracle comes in on friday...........

yea, i will wash it by sat, but you don't understand that where i live there is outdoor parking only and in back of the building where there is dust and other stuff that will dirty a car in 1 day...... its such a big PITA that i am seriously thinking of buying a car cover, and come to think of it moday they will start demolishing a building right in back of the building, where i park the car, so current dust will be x100.

Borla, anyways...When we got back to this car meet we went off to the side in a huge empty parking lot so he could show me his Comptech sway bars and the Tein coilovers and how well the car handled and responded. WOW very nice.
Well as we were pulling out of the parking lot a cop pulled right up to us...
luckily he just chewed my friend out for "driving like an idiot"

But man o man, those sway bars were niiiiice
was this guy driving a white rsx-s, asian, by the name of andrew........

I think me calling him would be a little strange since I never got his #. I will ask our mutual friends to invite him. But thanks

OH, so are you going to try and show him up with your TSX (and me in the passenger seat of course)

Also, I'll have the TRV38 with me, so we can take video of everyone's exhaust for a later vid comparison. I'm thinking an acceleration shot going away from the camera and maybe some drive-by shots.

I still think a group of us could have had some fun at Ikea. We could have walked in the store all freaked out with a Koni 5-way adjuster tool. Head up the the customer support desk and tell them this was what the smiley face directions in the box said to use to build the entire bunk bed set. But it's not fitting with the patent pending frustrata key tool they gave...

It would be a good 15mins before anyone working there figured out it wasn't a real Ikea tool.

....well I'm sure I lost most of you that have never put together any of the fun Ikea furnture; with easy to say models names like Jestkordburd, Uvbenjipt, or Gofukruselvt

No matter, looking forward to heading over to RAM with MrsChad, I'm planning to bring both the TSX and the Accord so SaraWI won't be lonely

If anyone knows how to fit a 20ft painters ladder in a TSX that would be appreciated, it's just about an inch too long to fit in my Accord coupe. I thought a ladder might make for a nice elevated group photo. :P

for the ladder.......... close sunroof, put dropcloth on top of tsx roof, open all 4 windows, place ladder on top of tsx roof, use accord to drive to nearest hardware store, buy 5 pack duct tape, come home, duct tape ladder to roof using your imagination ...................


but i think that it would have been cool to get everyone (or even if anyone still wants to we can meet at 10:30 at ikea) say hi to each other, and have 5-8 TSX's drive to RAMS, it would be cool to see that........ and btw i'm up for it......

BTW, are the NSXs gonna be there repping Acura's finest on Sunday? We got the chance to have the 2 best cars in show (unless some F430, Gallardo, or other crazy exotic shows up )
