So if I go with spacers, which is better, extended studs or the kind with studs built into the spacer? I've done some research and read bad things about both. I think I will be getting 10mm ones if that makes a difference.

H&R with extended studs or Ichiba with built in studs? Opinions?

don't do ichiba with build in studs. they may be convenient, but some dude from club lexus was running them and 3 of the studs broke off while driving. it's rare, but can happen.

I know...I'd really like to get them redone. It just better not take another 3.5 months. I'm still waiting for a response on the details for getting them remade.

So, I placed an order for some front brake pads on Monday....

Payed $21 for 2-day shipping......

Received Tracking Number this morning

Checked Tracking Number - "Estimated Delivery Date: 3/12/13"


How does this make any sense?!?!?!

hello guys im new to acurazine. i wanted to get a used acura tsx 10-12 but im concern about the mileage. im not trying to get a car with 50k miles on it but less than 30k. i already found a 2010 tsx thats on my budget with 30k mileage.

last time i went to acura dealership and almost bought a 09 tsx tech package with 77k miles on it. the salesman told me i dont have to worry about its mileage because acura is a very reliable car. i cehcked its carfax to. it only had one owner and it was serviced to that dealership.

Growing up I used to fall asleep listening to Sunny 99.1 every night, and For the Longest Time came on all the time. Every night I would hope it would come on so I could listen to it.

Smash Mouth - All Star was my big one. My sister and I would watch the VH1 top 10 video count down ALL the time because we knew it would be on there. Then I finally bought their CD and that was the only thing I listened to for months.

Wasn't really much a fan of those. They were alright but not nearly as impressionable on me as the others.

that's cuz they thought they were the modern day Beatles and the egos got too large for the band and they broke up.

Really nice day here in Vancouver, washed the car and the sun pointed out all the flaws in my paint. It is quite depressing, a lot of swirls, nail deep scratches and rock chips. Hopefully it wont be too expensive to get detailed and opticoated. Debating on buying the supplies and doing it myself.
