Perfect day for a TSX meet. Amazing to see 16 TSXs all in one place ( including two, yes TWO, Milano Red TSXs ). Here are some pics that I took before my camera decided not to cooperate.
Kevin's TSX with, IMHO, the "perfect" drop.
Sorry I couldn't make the loop drive with you guys. So what's up with the detour I was reading about? Nobody with a navi could help? It was great to meet all of those who attended. Missed joerockt who I hope to meet the next time (and listen to his upgraded system). And props to Cobalt and Kaikai for making the arrangements, preparing maps, and sending out reminders. Special thanks to Cobalt for letting me try out his TSX with the intake and sway bar. OMG, I want those mods even more now. :looksovershoulderbutwifeisoutshoppingsorbshandsto getherandgrins: The meet, IMHO, was a huge success. So, when is the next one? Lets have it by the beach somewhere.

Vwong do you rub at all? What size is your tires? Did you roll your fenders? Even when I raised my car up as high as it is now when I hit a bump I rub or during hard turns rub as well...I need to roll my fenders and quick.

Jlukja, I should hire you to take pictures for my car, the shots you took were very clear and the angle perfect. I tried taking couple pictures but they didnt look that good, thanks, i'm gonna save that one down thanks for the compliment on the drop too
Vwong, I was pretty concerned about your car going down that hill, cuz I had to go pretty side ways down at the bottom with my prokit drop. Did you manage to get down without scratching anything?
The hill descend would've been even more fun for those of you without lowering springs. You just have to wait up for the person in front to clear outa sight, then let the car slide down without hitting on the brake... man... it's like a coaster I tell ya

I don't know if anyone from the meet had noticed, my front fenders were pushed out a little (not much) already.
yea, that's why I felt that your front fender is different from the rest of us, how did you pull them out?
oh you did? that means I need to work on my driving skill more -_- I'm just paranoid about getting the front scratched up

It was difficult to manuver in there without rubbing. I needed to turn in order to get into my parking spot, I already tried a pretty large turning radius, but there was limited room, and I had to crank the steering wheel a little more. The tires pushed the fenders out slightly.

J, you're very welcome and it was nice to finally be able to meet you. And :getmodsdonewhilewedistrackmrslukja: I think at the very least you should get the rear sway installed. I've now got 2 converts (PalidanX and Kai) who really believe in that mod.
I think the next one we have will be at Ace Alloy Wheel and it's being organized by projecttsx. I also vote for having a meet at the beach as the scenery would be awesome. Maybe we can do that one in the summer?

I love your ride man. Definitely love how those rims look gun-metalish in person. It's funny because I was considering getting them when I got my car, but didn't at the last minute. I kinda wished I did now. Maybe at our next meet you can run with us.
