ChiSox - thank you for pictures. Great job, I didn't even notice you did all cars individually front and back. Big thumbs up for effort.

Seth - looking forward to those pics of all of us with our cars. Monday it is..


You got it bro... BTW thanks again for waiting with me at Jiffy Lube, much appreciated.


You too Alperovich.... or should I call you the "Pot Hole Slalom Racing Champion of Chicago"

No problem man, and I'm sorry for the long drive to Wilson Park. I figured if we take local streets we can get there faster then going down backed up I94 but that kind of backfired. Especially right before Lake Shore Drive - that was horrible.

I agree about LSD. Those 30 seconds we were on it were pretty cool. I risked it but couldn't help it. Opportunity just presented itself, plus after sitting in all that traffic, it was a real refreshment.

I was driving the TSX with blue painters tape on the front end. I didnt get pics of everybodys car but here's a few of my pics that came out decent.

It was nice somewhat meeting everyone, I still have a hard time matching screen names to faces. We will definetly have to do it again, maybe we should wear name tags with our screen names on them... haha





I couldnt get over how good the paint looked on this ride!
















And in case any of you are wondering what it looks like without the tape.

Hey guys, I feel like an asshole. Unfourtnately I wasn't able to make it due to having to go to a bridal shower. Yeah, I know I don't understand either. But the GF expected for me to go with her. As she told me I was invited also. Since when is a bridal shower co-ed (I thought to myself)? Anyway, I didn't want to start an argument so I went along.

and who sent me a text message saying I FAILED on coming through to the meet? I thought that was funny.

Looks like a good turn out, I don't feel as bad anymore after seeing all the pictures. I would've stuck out like a sore thumb with by teg.

well i was the only non honda/acura guy there and i didn't think I stuck out too much...


the only thing sticking out yesterday was my front driver side wheel... fucking no good assclown tire shop.
Who makes the mistake of putting a 265 in the front and a 235 in the rear????

Nice pics- wish I could have been there. We COULD start planning the next one- which I WILL make. Weather was awesome here too. I would have stuck out with the stockies still on. But hopefully by the next meet my exhaust, tires and CF roof spoiler will be on.

Tim- didn't you go?

Sounds like your not the only one having problems with tire shops. Ive been to 7 different places in my area and still havent found one that is trustworthy. Nobody noticed at the meet but 2 of my wheels got scratched by the dumbasses at Discount Tire Direct, just a small gouge by the lug hole but I was pissed.

Needless to say after I went back and bitched for awhile they ended up ordering me 2 brand new wheels.

I think we should plan the next meet further in advance, give people a chance to schedule the day off and what not.

Honda-Tech is planning a dyno day/car meet sometime in May, its going to be in Bridgeview Illinois at http://www.rcautoworks.com/

They havent chose a specific date as of yet but they should have one soon. That way if only half of the cars on our list show up we still have all the cars from H-T to check out.

They plan on doing power runs only, no full tunes since it would be too time consuming with the amount of cars that will be there.

it was great to meet everybody. some sweet rides there. i had the black 04 TL (that was overshadowed by the sexy 07 TL-S).

here are a couple HDR attempts. i'm still trying to figure out photomatix, so don't be to harsh.

try doing it at the 3rd light shadowing effect at about 80% strength. Also use the temperature effect to make it more blue than red.
