Custom exhaust = Meineke

I went down that road a while ago with another car and it always sounded like shit. The guys there know how to weld and put a factory spec exhaust on, once you start asking them to get creative, you might as well forget it.

Also, 55 miles is like, what 2 gallons of gas? C'mon Razz, you got $16 burning a hole in your pocket, I know it.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. For all the people saying we need to quit meeting in Mpls, I found a site for you, it's called mezzoman and it was specifically developed to find restaurants near a midpoint between two areas. if we put in buffalo and white bear lake, it'll tell us what restaurant is near the midpoint, which seems to be at the 494/94/694 junction.

We should have a nice car work session at Tyler's. Mine (t-belt, etc) will hopefully be done for the most part before that-

Geez Dan, you could have at least moved the shot glass out of the view. I guess it is good that it is empty, but the real question is, how many times was it empty?

Hey Razzi you must be speaking for yourself. I have done brakes before on my other vahilces Nissan, BMW, Izusu, and Toyota I also forgot Airplanes. Acura can't be anything special. Brakes are brakes I just can not make the time on such short notice but next weekend would work for me Tyler.

Nice. I played Halo till the we hours of the morning last night and didn't wake up till like 3. Glad u got the brakes on.

Jorge, I got your voicemail. I got my springs used on the BM for like 120. I would ask Josh about those comptechs as those are what he has on his car. I would get struts too if you are going to do springs since you need to take em off anyway and you can upgrade now without paying more labor.

what happens at a lunar new year celebration?

Razzi, I believe that you have to get the bearings pressed into the hub, but I haven't done an Acura so I could be wrong. Some of the mom and pop parts places have a press and can put those in for you, but you will have to pay a few bucks. Call around to the parts places in the area that you are going to do the work and see if they have a press and can do the work for you.

Ok guys, a little change in topic here. With the new GT5 coming out for the PS3, I am thinking of getting the Logitech G25 steering wheel (~$200-300), but I am wondering if it would be better to get a pulley or possibly headers instead. The pulley (~$125)is a bit cheaper, but the headers (~$385)are a bit more expensive. And, I would have to get those installed too.

I would love to get all three, but funds are not going to allow it. What say you, fellow acuraziners?

you know damn well imma say headers 20+ hp gain? omg plz gimme

i got frustrated with looking for a separate wheel bearing, the ones that i can find are like 65 bucks, so i went to o-reilly's and got an entire hub assembly with the bearing for 80 bucks. gonna save a lot of labor there
