Whoah, XXR rims, huh...they couldn't even take that little impact?
I hope both the guys ended up being okay. Looks like steering locked up and he didn't realize it until he was about to make the cut very fast. Wow...
Love how ZERO people jumped right into the water to get them out. Probably checking acurazine on their phones, priorities, man...

Too late for breaksWas't expecting that from the rims too
Another weekend another car wash




Installed the stock xenon bulbs from FX to MDX
Ordering yellow nokya for high beams for MDX
Will install the blue nokya to low fogs on MDX, (ones I had)
Actually will make Acura install it in the next oil change. I couldn't take out the bolts, actually broke one bolt off the plastic

The S5 from the coworker?
Is it going to be cheaper? Since used?
Give me a reasonable reason, can you get a discount on it?
I am not that type too because of cheap used exotic car prices in US
Doesn't sound smart to me, paying 50k to a brand new car
How about leasing?
I don't know much about it but, what I know good about it is...
You get the car, pay low for a year or so, after lease is finish, buy the car with finance
What good is, you saved money over the first year? Is that how it is?
Of course if you do less miles

I guess Austin has some competition now LOL....
SID kept us awake all night, last night

the first night he was out, his body temp fell low and blood sugar was low as well, so we had to supplement his feeding with some formula....and he got kinda used to it....before leaving the hospital the nurse gave him 38cc of formula...I was kinda pissed coz he usually only takes in ~18cc....and the more you give, it expands his tummy so the more he will want....
since he had a big "lunch" he was sleeping almost all day long....and yesterday evening we decided to take him off the supplement unless he is being very cranky....last night he woke up every 90 minutes....we barely slept LOL....I look like a
right now LOL
I will say it looks good, just because the car is too handsome and could suit-up everything out there pretty well
but if I think that rear end without the wing, looks much better
.... yes yes definitely
I need front right axle by the way
Keep hearing it
PMed Delray Acura for both sides front
I'll also call Raxles tomorrow and compare the price with OEM from Delray

Meko...formula is milk....more like crack for babies....they get hooked and sleep, well, like a baby 
and here is the thread where Morgan (civicdrvr) was mentioning about Autozone axles
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-cl-problems-fixes-70/aftermarket-intake-hum-specifically-sri-857651/
finally, about seafoam and intake manifold and butterfly cleaning....he has a 2G TL....but the steps are almost the same....take the intake off, take the TB off, take the manifold cover off, take the manifold off....
spray the manifold/TB with TB cleaner...now if you spray it a lotttt and soak it, I would take it to a wand wash and hose the manifold down, let it dry, install it....
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/diy-thermoblok-spacers-install-egr-cleaning-615644/
finally a video on how to seafoam....
put 1/2 can in the gas tank when the range is ~10-15 (when the range light comes in, you have ~3 gallons left), when the range does to ZERO, you have ~1.5 gallons....so put 1/2 can when you have ~2 gallons left....in gas tank, the seafoam cleans the fuel lines, pump, injectors, heads
put a full can of seafoam in the oil....this cleans the springs/retainers/cams/crank/etc
then start your car and do this:
by seafoaming in the intake (air path), you clean the air path like Manifold/Runners/Heads/Cylinder/Pistons/etc
once you are done, let it sit for 15 minutes
start her up, drive it, well for you, normally LOL....hit vtec in 1/2/3 gears....do the "Italian Tune up"....now remember dont stray toooo far from a gas station, you have only ~2 gallons left....
get gas when you think you are on fumes....
after ~100-150 miles, do an oil change....

Anil I owe you a lot
Thanks for the links, will check when I get to computer.
Delray acura or whatever, i asked him a total price for both, he said 1k, i guess that was the whole stuff.
J said its like 150, thats what i read too.
So ill ask bruce to send me the axles. 150 is good compared to autozone.
Jeremyyyy!!!!! Is that happening right now? Wohoooooi
Going to use Y pipe?
Seafoam is that good huh?
I was staying away from it...

I thought so too 
No Y, not enough room to work with. Welder at the shop turned me away yesterday but after discussing with him the idea to do a dump off the inner tube and run the single from the outer one he said it would work.
The tip I ordered from ebay didn't work for me because the angle it had to sit at wouldn't be flush and go all the way up. If anyone is interested in it before I post it to ebay to sell (easier to sell in USA) at a discounted rate, let me know (I paid $115 for the set) via PM quick. Just know it'll sit about 1/4" lower than the upper part of the opening. You could trim the bumper to put it all the way up, or just move it back or forward. I love how it maintains the OEM look on steroids which is what I wanted. The new tips, which he happened to have one of, will fit very well too. You'll see.

Sorry to steal your thunder Austin....you shall always be the sloth to me 
Eager to see it Jeremy...will you be covering up 1 of the outlets in the muffler since you are not using a Y?
might create some back pressure which will help with low end....i hope the exhaust note doesnt change....even if it will am pretty sure it will make it quieter and wont introduce any rasp (not sure of the drone)....

Yeah why the outer exhaust exit? Do you know how inside of the muffler looks like?
Oh oh, my greenish fog bulbs that was suppose to be yellow...
I wrote a comment on the amazon page. Kensun called me today and sending me a new bulbs. He said they suppose to be yellow..
