Steven Bell,thank you sir.
acura_dipset_tl thank you.i ended up getting the 3.25"x0.8". brembo decals.
I plan on stacking up as many miles as i can,unfortunally going on vacation soon.She will be sleeping for 2 weeks.Going to Portugal and Spain,will be driving an estimated 2,000miles in 2 weeks in a vw golf 1.4 diesel(manual).Will keep everyone posted.
A acurazine member stop by the shop this morning can you spot the problem?
Mileage update: 133,316 miles

I have an anouncement to make
with mixed feelings)
I will be leaving the acura dealer,to start over with toyota.
In this country if you only think with your heart you can't go to far.
Don't get it twisted i love acuras,love my car.
Like they say money talks .......... walks.
Besides it was an offer way to good to pass on.
With that out of the way,check out this italian stalion

Steven Bell and swoosh, i'm not leaving you guys.I'm just taking a step foward in my career.There was no more money for me to make at acura or opportunity to move foward.
I'm still an acura guy and always will be.Not going anywhere.
Believe it or not i will be making more money at toyota then i did at acura.
