The situation you describe makes it sound like your shocks are done. Stiffer springs will help that, but you will still have some resonance from going over a bump, that is the purpose of your shock absorber.

 

I wouldn't be surprised, i don't know the last time they were changed. but i can't afford new ones so I'm just gunna have to keep going on them

 

They are prolly the stock ones that came with the car.

 

what's the height now? about a finger drop? probably too early to tell anyway. give it a week to settle in.

man lotta people getting things done. i think imma be spending some mod money for a new phone

 

drop was around 2", and i'm guessing in the next couple weeks it might break in a little bit lower?

 

Remember to get an alignment in about 2 weeks once they settle more.

 

haha, today at work like everyone commented on how my car looked.. my boss say it was low and then she noticed the exhaust and started talking me about it and her old oldsmobiles...
alignment.. how much is that going to set me back?

 

Like $100 but i can talk to this guy i know at tires plus in EP that can probably do it for cheaper. Let me know though in like 2 weeks when it needs to be done.

 

Funk dat. If you need an alignment, call Jeff, TheAlignmentGuy.com. He does the alignments for all of the autocross guys. You can go in there and tell him you want a stock alignment, or if you want additional camber to make it turn in better, or whatever. That, and he's a whole lot cheaper than any other place in town, prolly a whole lot better too.

He did mine on Saturday, took him about an hour for the alignment, and then he double checked it the manual way just to make certain. He does awesome work and is getting all of my alignment business from now until he either quits, or I move.

 

How much does he charge? I am going to need to get one very soon..

 

Hmm, I have no problem with you coming down...BUT i'm no where near Philip Island(lol). Just search for Brisbane, QLD and you see exactly what i mean.

 

Jeff the alignment guy did my tsx. He is the guy man, i had him install the rear camber kit for me. He prmoised he can do it in couple hrs, but it took him more than that. i felt bad because he just charged me for 2 hrs labor but not the extra hrs that he worked on my car.

he did my TSX alignment for $60 Front and rear

 

wow, the weather on the 11th gonna be 52 degree and cloudy? Hopfully it stays that way....

 

Damn wish I could join all of you!!!

If my warranty expired you'd all see mine all done up. Oh well, time for her to go.

 

See, if I were to make it to OZ, I doubt that I would be able to talk my wife into a MotoGP race. But, I DID almost have her talked into the Mugello race when we were in Spain...

Maybe we need to talk more...

 

That's not a bad price.... I will have to contact him the next time I need an alignment.

I will never take my car to TiresPlus for an alignment. The tech eff'd up my tranny when he took it our for a 'test' drive. This was a few years ago, but I'm still fuming about it because I had to replace a couple of synchros...

 

If you need a test drive from an alignment, you should be afraid of the shop you took it to.

He said he might be raising prices soon (by $5) to help offset the cost of new equipment, but that's still a steal.

He could realistically charge MUCH more and still get a lot of business because he does great work. He'll explain what he's doing, how it is going to affect your car and tire life, and if you ask for something that is going to kill your tires, he'll tell you straight up that you are going to be munching tires.

 

Well shit. I'll go to him then. Let me get my wheels on and maybe ill do it next week

 

i'm not sure if i want to stay with black rims, or give chrome a chance...

 

whichever you decide to do, hit up craigslist. if i didnt have a few hundred dollars tied up by my brother in cali, i woulda gotten myself a set of 18s already

 

thats where i'm looking, just can't choose

 

Back in 1968, it was 82 degrees in April 11th

 

dang, but with the claim of global warming, shouldnt it be hotter by now than before?

I wish its 82 on april 11th

 

Well......it looks like I won't be joining you guys on the 11th......Takata hasn't pm'd me his address yet............yes, I pm'd him too. Maybe I'll just drive around honking my horn until I either get arrested or you guys come looking for me, haha

 

I didn't think I had his address either but it looks like Kyle had PM'ed it to me a while ago. I'll do the same favor and keep it going.

 

im gonna need the address if anyone has it

 

thanks to all of those who sent me the address ill be there fourmula1 and i are gonna roll out there

 

All you freaks got my address now. Do not post it but youcan PM to who is coming to the meet.

 

Oh man looks like a big meet. I live so close by lol. However I'll be tied up all weekend with some extra work at the office.

 

we'll do some mods, maybe go cruisin at around 3, or 4, or 5. make it back in an hour or two. maybe we'll roll out and visit the twin cities auto scene. i'm sure you'll be done by then

 

here's my numba if anyone gets lost or needs information about anything else.

six five one, 329 - 4106

 

Wait, are you implying that you are actually going to make it?

 

can someone PM me the address

 

nope. nowhere does it say that. it simply states i will be available at the given digits should you get lost or require further assistance.

 

I dont think my PMs work on this forum.

Matt, wanna meet up before hand and i can follow you lol

 

Not entirely chrome, but Mercury Silver with polished lip looks pretty darn good on black if ya ask me...



hint...hint... Sig below...



Anyway, I'd love to join you guys, but I have an Easter Egg hunt on Saturday at my place at 1. If you have kids, feel free to stop by.

 

Iv decided i want an 09 Acura RL. Looks so sick,

 

Man, you have plenty of time to drive an old man car when you're an old man.

 

How bout the 09 TL? Those have good performance and it actually looks pretty sweet once you paint the front grille and the back piece to body color. It actually starts to look more aggressive like the 3G TL. The stock color of the OEM grille throws off the look IMO.






An aftermarket grille.

 

I like that RonJon TL in the last picture. I'd rock that
