i will probably be leaving before the cruise because i have to head to a grad party but i will take plenty of pics while i am there...
Another comparison we were thinking about is to line up our cars next to each other and then go one at a time to hear each one separately to give the best comparison. Then we can do a drive by with you recording us one after the other, so you won't have to stop filming at any point.

Man, I'm very excited for this meet. I can't wait until I get to detail my car this Saturday. One thing is that its my friend's bday Sat. night, so he's having a bbq then head out gathering. I might be out of it at the end of Saturday night. Hopefully I won't over sleep and miss the meet

I actually get to work from home the next two days because we're moving to another building so our PCs won't be up and running

I have a feeling I'll be posting a little more the next two days...

That's exactly what I've been thinking. The TSX forum needs a direct juxtaposed comparison of each exhaust, recorded by the SAME camera. Maybe we line the cars up and have them each start, rev, kill. Then each starts up and does a hard acceleration, turns around and comes back the other way for a drive by at normal speed.

Just an idea but we can figure out the rest on Sunday.

I'd like to get this thing waxed but I haven't figured out how to do it myself yet. It's still got the detailer's sealant on so washing it will make it look good enough I think. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys and your cars.

Yep, we'll figure it out at the meet.

The detailer's sealant definitely still makes the car shine like no other. A good wash will do the job. If not, you can always go to Allston Car Wash and get a nice detail job done by them...obviously you'd have to pay some money, but I'm sure they would do a great job.

Local weatherman here, just giving a brief forecast. Looks like Sunday will be fine, though a little humid...actually very humid, but we can suck it up. Thunderstorms in the afternoon.

I'd like to meet some new people from this forum. I don't usually come on very often but I wouldn't mind seeing different modded TSXs. Unfortunately I can't make this meet. Let me know when you guys organize another meet though

funny you say that cus I did the same thing a week ago, and so far so good.....I like seeing the front angle of the bumper, makes it look sleeker to me. I personally think that since we are driving what I consider entry level luxury cars that police are less likely to hassle us for small things.

I hope you're right man!

Forecast is still looking real good for Sunday. Less chance of thunderstorms in the afternoon too, so we should be golden with the 12pm start. I'm also very interested in tasting how the burgers are there.

btw. so far, I've spread the word with people in an Integra Forum, RSX Forum, G/Z Forum, and TSX Forum. Lets hope for a big showing.

So they won't ticket you if you have it in the trunk? I was just going to tell them that my license plate frame got broken so I have to replace it before putting it back on. Its a lie, but a small lie...

Most definitely man. The next meet may not be as big though, so if you can change your plans, you should definitely come out. Should be a good one since Sunday is still looking nice weatherwise.

Nice! Who has the RSX? Was it one of the dudes I met at 88?

btw. working at home is the bomb, even though this is my last day doing it. I just went out during my "lunch break" and laid there in the sun reading Road & Track. It was sweet! I did get toasted though...and I was only out there for less than an hour.

What do you have to do to remove the front plate frame? Only time I considered it was when I had my bumper off to remove my intake resonator.

Also, are we meeting at Fudruckers first or are some of you going to rendezvous beforehand?

There's two bolts that it. Very quick to remove.

And we are meeting at 12pm at Fudruckers in Saugus, MA. Everyone try to get there on time since we'll be moving inside to get a bite to eat when most people have arrived.

Alright, nap time

If your DIY mesh grille, the only place I know that sells mesh is home depot or lowe's.

OK, thanks for the info Wil.

I just washed the car. Gonna go shine the tires and see if I can get an angle on the front plate bolts.

Looking forward to meeting the rest of you guys tomorrow!

Edit: Are we doing the interweb handle name tag thing or did that receive a "too nerdy" verdict?

It's the one in Saugus: http://www.fuddruckersne.com/contact.html

Hey, you live in Worcester too. It's about an hour from here.

Here are the directions from where I live: http://www.mapquest.com/directions/m...2s=MA&2z=01906

It was sooooooooo exhausting washing and waxing the car. I was wiping my sweat every 5 minutes in the garage when I was detailing it.

First off, good choice on NBP

Second, if the link below doesn't work, Fuddruckers is located in Saugus, MA.

Do you have a Navi on the TL? If so, the address is:

Fuddruckers Restaurant
900 Broadway
Saugus, MA

Fuddruckers in Saugus, MA - 12pm

I know its been discussed but some people might go past the enterence to Fuds. It comes up somewhat abruptly. Once you go past Bob's Stores, you can't miss Kowloons (kinda' gaudy looking building). Right behind that is the Red Roof Inn and directly behind that is the entrence to Fuds. Once you see Bob's, make sure to get in the right lane. Route 1 tends to be busy on the weekends and there are lots of potholes so beware.. Hope this helps.
