Not a new member to AcuraZine but I recently moved out to the HR area (August '10). I also just traded in my '99 TL for an '08 TL WDP. I don't plan on modding the TL much at all beyond a few cosmetic/suspension items. I just ordered some LEDs for the interior and a rubber trunk mat. Looking into changing up some of the exterior lights soon as well.

Are there any upcoming regional meets in the area or even up around the DC metro?

 

Ok fellas I got the hook up on timing belt kit (timing belt, belt tensioner, steering pump belt) for $200 shipped. Let me know so I can let my contact know

 

I would like to do it this Sunday, because I'm leaving next week.

Welcome to the area! We're just talking about doing alittle meet soon....hopefully this weekend.

Damn Shawn, is it that time already?!

 

We can do it this sunday (weather permitting of course) But, i'll be more than glad to set it up another time where more people could come. it doesn't HAVE to be on a sunday (since i know a lot of people like to relax and/or watch football and spend time with family, etc) it can be arranged some other day but weekends are what people are down for. This sunday? I know adrian's gonna be gone so i'd like to show him and what not. but let me know. it's already wednesday/thursday so if it's going down, were gonna have to plan quick. and if you live on the other side of the tunnel, then i wouldn't suggest you come since you're gonna be back tracking? lol but we can all meet up at a central location like freedom or somewhere around norfolk like harbor park and such. but let me know guys. plus it gives me a reason to use my new camera!

 

Well for this Sunday, it would probably few of us. We could meet at the town center area in Newport News off of Mercury blvd, then go from there. The parking lot is huge, but we could grab a bit before we roll.

 

there's no point in meeting there. the back road to the ferry is going through 664/suffolk. so i figure the freedom car wash in chespeake would be a good meeting point since we hav eto go towards 664 anyways.

 

I've got some other people that are wanting to go. so we might have to meet at freedom off independance since it's more a central location. either way,we'll take 264 to 664 or 64 to 664. but we might have a lot of people actually coming. like, 10-15 depenging on who shows up. i wsas thinking maybe like, 330-4? possiblhy get the sunset in pictures and stuff?

 

The ferry idea sounds awesome! Unfortunately Sundays are always booked up in the morning till part of the afternoon. Hopefully you guys do something on a Saturday sometime soon.

 

we'll leave around 4 ish?

 

Depending on when I get back from NY, I might be able to make this. Ill be keeping an eye on this thread.

 

Yeah. you should be able to. we'll leave around 330-415 ish. alreayd coordinating with a few other friends that want to go. so 330-415 should be a decent time to leave and possibly catch the sunset or what not.

 

Yep I already had Steve do mines 2 months ago. I'm good for awhile. It only took him about 2.5 hours. I recommend Steve if you need any work done for your honda/acura.

 

this sunday around 330-415 ish at freedom wash off independence is the location and time for the cruise. from there we'll head towards the ferry going the BACK/LOCAL way and THEN taking the 64 interstate back home.

 

Sounds good! As long as I leave for ap hill monday not sunday I will be there.

 

Im heading back from NY today so I should be able to make this. I just have to find time to wash the car. Im on the winter wheels though

 

it's all good. just make it to the spot around the time and we'll all cruise trhere. and since the time is changing, i'm sure bythe time we get there, i'tll be a perfect time for sunset and such.

 

This is the Freedom Wash youre talking about, right?

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=freedo...h&z=18&iwloc=A

 

^ Yep. that's correct. I'll probably be there early and i'll be in the huge parking lot behind it. Either way, my car will be seen.


So in case people forgot,

Today, between 3:30 - 4:15 meet at freedom car wash off independence blvd behind the WAWA. From there we're gonna go to the ferry cruise.

People can reference the map if they do'nt know where it is. we're gonna leave by 4:15 SHARP because i don't want it to be dark when we get there.

 

Rich, do you have the address of the ferry location. I want to atleast know where I'm going...lol!

 

lol.

it's free, runs til midnight, and well. pretty cool cruise. the scenary is pretty nice IMO. there are some turns too but yeah.

 

Got it; thanks!

 

You know other people that are coming?

 

No. Most of the guys I know are on here.....lol! I see other hooked up TL's on base or around town, but not close enough to stopped them.

 

Sorry I missed this

 

so is anyone going to the mid atlantic meet??

 

The one in Manassas?

 

so like just seeing who's interested in doing a mini meet in raleigh? just posted in the NC thread but thought i'd figure to ask here as well. it's about 2-3 hours (i'm assuming, haven't looked it up yet) and is also a 2 hour drive for my buddies who are in wilmington. just seeing who would be interested.

 

When? Ive been down that way twice this past summer. Its about two hours from me, so not really a long drive by any means.

 

looking at sometime this weekend. saturday or sunday whichever one works out for a lot of people. it's short notice but we were tryna make another one fit in real quick before the holidays where people are busy with families and such.

 

Damn, Im leaving for CA on Friday

 

Hey guys, I am up for orders again, and I am trying to g back to the East Coast and Norfolk was the only East Coast orders avail. Last month Mayport was the only one and I did not get it. So hopefully I get picked up for orders this month. I dont want them to make me go West Coast.

 

Wow!
I would really like to do this ferry cruise, but I'm in PA. If we could schedule something in the Spring/Summer timeframe, I think we could get a pretty large crowd. How many cars does the ferry hold per trip? How long is the round trip?
This could be a very cool day trip.

 

If i'm here yeah, sure. It's a pretty good ride. I mean, if you guys from PA want to come down, sure. lol. it depends on which ferry they bring out and which one we get to drive on. it averages between 50-150 cars. the bigger one i believe can do the larger number but i've never actually counted. the drive isn't too bad. like a hour round trip no including pit stops or pictures and etc.

 

When is the date for the Great Falls meet going to be announced? I know it's a few months out but I need to make sure I can make it.

 

does the 2007 acura tl s brembo caliper fits 2003 acura cl s

 

No.

 

Anyone know of a reliable shop for Acura's in the area? My 2003 CLs has the check engine light on and the code reader from Autozone detected a code 325(knock sensor). I don't even know where that knock sensor is located.

Thanks,
Brando

 

You're using 91 octane or better, right? Where are you getting your gas? Im not from the 757 so I can't point you to any reputable shops. Im sure someone else here can though.

 

Hey Brando- sorry to hear that u have some car problems, especially a knock sensor prob. What area are u in?

 

if you're in va beach, you can take it to honda off of va beach blvd and newtown and ask for steve. he has the 6 spd swapped cl. he's type-jdm on here. you can ask him. he does real good work.
