Your car looks so good Tyler! I wish I could get away with a stance like yours. I don't even think my Tein's will go that low.

Hahaha, I did enjoy seeing the cars rolling together.

Tyler's just looks so clean, but I think mine looks a little meaner being all black.

We were definitely getting some looks while driving around, especially Austin with his 214439048230 LEDs and HIDs on the front of his car

I had Bojangles for lunch yesterday. It was tasty.

I liked the pics too.

BTW, apparently if you change your email address on AZine, the system treats you like a new member. I currently can't send PMs, edit posts, or most importantly, change my avatar.

Yea, I'd like to know when I get PMs. I had signed up for AZine years ago with an old address that I check maybe once a week.

Me gusta Bojangles. nom nom.



Last weekend, I attended a Club RSX meet in Raleigh. Morgan and I attended the same meet last year so I figured I would crash it again

My girlfriend's brother bought his 2007 Civic Si and I had Acurazine members Alvin and Michael bring their cars as well. Alvin (ACE32TL) has the 2004 NBP TL with Type-S goodies and Michael (KiWiLiT43) has the 2006 AM TL.

I'm just posting a few pictures from this meet. After the last picture, a link to my Flickr album will be posted.









For J







I miss Acurazine meets being this big











Link to album: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjLvRspH



Yesterday, I attended the Charlotte Cars and Coffee. Here's what showed:









































Interesting story about that LP640 that I heard through the grapevine...The plate "WOZYELLO" is referring to when the owner had a yellow LP640 and left it at the dealership for work. A service technician took the car out in the rain and totaled it, resulting in the car being replaced by the dealership. Not sure if it's true but it explains the plate nicely.

I could be mistaken but I believe the owner of the Gallardo is also the owner of the R8 V10 from last month and also the owner of the white Aventador from two months ago. I also believe that the owner of the Bentley SS is the owner of the black twin-turbo Aventador.





















I got a bit carried away with editing those. Sorry



Here's a part of the Charlotte-area Acurazine crew checking in! Eric left the TL at home to take his fiance's IS300.















And in other news, my girlfriend decided that Cosmo needed a friend. I'm not a cat person but gave in. Say hello to Libby!





And Cosmo staring at her...

As for my TL, it's sitting at about 134,5xx miles and doing well! I'm having a weird rattle coming from the sunroof and I still need to get some adjustable ball joints for the front to correct the camber. The toe is set at 0 so tire wear isn't a concern, but I don't want to run excessive camber if it's not necessary.

Also, I've been under the suspicion that my wheels are bent. Not just one, but all 4. I spoke to my local mechanic and he confirmed by suspicions. I'm not pleased and honestly don't feel like doing anything about it right now. I'll have to do some research about having them fixed but, to be honest, it's at the bottom of the priority list right now. I'm finally finishing my last semester of college and have been job searching. The ride isn't terrible on the bent wheels, but the steering wheel shake is getting annoying, especially when it's 3 hours from school to Charlotte. The bends must be inside of the barrel because the outside of each wheel is flawless

Too many pics to comment on... Say NO to the cat! They are cute when they're kittens, but lose the "cuteness" once they grow up. Cleaning the litter box gets old real quick!

How did you find out your wheels are bent? Did your tires show any wear issues on the inside?

Tyler your photos get better and better everytime.

The fog makes for a cool effect...in particular the photo of Jason's TSX.

Extra thanks for the H1 and defender photos.

Awesome pics, Tyler, the cars look sick!

Sorry about the wheels, buddy. I understand the steering wheel vibration, makes me wonder too, and this morning I'm getting a lovely bump in my brakes! I swear I'm never modding my next car.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wants an original Mini

Thanks Adam! I'm not exactly thrilled about the cat but I told my girlfriend that she's primarily responsible for her since she wanted her

I haven't had any wear issues but when I first mounted the 215s, I had an insane amount of steering wheel vibration. I took it back to the shop and they realized that the wheels were out of balance due to missing a few wheel weights. They rebalanced them and I STILL had vibrations. They noticed that all 4 wheels were bent and to reduce vibrations, they put the worst two in the back. The bends must be inside of the barrel because I can't see anything from the outside

Thanks Austin! I'm not thrilled about the wheels whatsoever, and with graduating next month and moving to Charlotte, it's the last thing I needed. I was hoping that getting the 215s and eventually some ball joints would sort out everything for the TL but apparently not.

Here are some shots of the TL before I left for school yesterday:















I'll be hitting 135k miles this week

Also, I've determined that I'll be getting a wider tire whenever these wear out. I LOVE how the car looks but the ride quality is worse than the 235s and scraping over/getting stuck on everything is getting old

I still haven't gotten the wheels fixed but they aren't THAT bad. Yes, it's annoying, but not the end of the world. I have other things coming up that are more important

I'll be attending the same car meet this upcoming Friday and I'll bring my tripod this time
