Razzi

good, i got no money for a 55 mile drive anyway
u guys seen this? https://acurazine.com/forums/car-parts-sale-361/wtt-willing-trade-my-custom-cat-bak-oem-382900/
he was willing to give it to me for 25 bucks + my exhaust, problem is i cant go without an exhaust for a week or so. but god, i want to so bad.
anyone wanna give up their exhaust? for it? then we swap when it arrives

MyPearl02

how the hell is he gonna ship that and if i gave up my exhaust im gonna keep it as a matter of fact i might just give this guy a PM about that so Razzi that exhaust you want you can help me put it on hahahahahahahaha naw idk but maybe

and whats wrong with driving 55 miles i did it its not that bad plus i think you need to get out of the city

Razzi

it'll empty out my tank and i dont get paid till monday haha.
if you get that, i swear to god imma steal it from you.

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.

Razzi

ooo that's an interesting site. did you see the clip tho josh? god that thing sounded awesome.
yeah i do got 16 bucks lol. i just dont wanna do long trips until i fix my damn wheel bearing, it drives me nuts

asujosh1

yeah, i would be fixing that wheel bearing before i put an exhaust on the car, but that's just me.

Takata 18

Count me in if you need help with the brakes. Let me Know when. PM me. Hey Razzi Save gas hitch a ride with Josh or Dan.

Razzi

i'd still have to drive to minneapolis lol. but who knows, if the weather's good, we might shoot some photos. and yeah, im pickin up the wheel bearings on monday, gonna have them done probably the same day.
imma give hasham a call tonight or tomorrow, see what's up with him

asujosh1

man, do you always complain this much, or are you making a special occasion of it for us?

Razzi

oh yeah man, i complain all the time about nothing

underst8

Oh Ken, unfortunately you might not get to see him kick my ass completely due to the soon-to-be-installed pulley

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-

asujosh1

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?

Razzi

haha, dan's been on a binge lol.
u planning on seafoaming dan?

MyPearl02

awwww shit i suck again!!!!!

Razzi

yo tyler, where the hell is that location in your avatar? i think we need to drive around there when we do the cars, if not, at least some time later in the spring

MyPearl02

that is acutally the road my mom lives on right to the right of my car is my moms house and it leads down to the lake

MyPearl02

i was thinkin it would be a bad ass pic if we got all the cars out on the lake for a group pic i dont no how well it would turn out but i think its the most unique of all the group shot on the fourm

MyPearl02

i no this is kinda short notice but i got my pads today and was wondering if sunday would work for anyone if not we can do it another weeken

Razzi

next week?
unless you want them pads pretty badly lol. or of takata wants to give me a ride

MyPearl02

i would like lie to get them in there really bad

Takata 18

I can't garantee all I can say is maybe and It would have to be in the afternoon.

MyPearl02

well let me no

Razzi

i can come as long as it's on a weekend.
we'll have to see when underst8 is free with his parts and when josh is free with his knowledge. otherwise we'd be a buncha monkey with wrenches

oh josh, my dad finally opened that mead you gave me, he loves that shit lol. said he'd buy a case from you if he could

MyPearl02

lol whats wrong witha bunch of monkeys with wrenches?????

underst8

Are we talking tomorrow?

Me, Josh and his wifey are going to try and get to a mountain if the conditions are right. Anyone is welcome to join if you board/ski. If we don't go I will come help with the brake job.

MyPearl02

ok well the address is 6807 3rd St SE Buffalo MN 55313
call me befor you come and 763 607 8339

asujosh1

Razzi, I gave that to you for you to drink you moron!

And unless it gets really warm really quickly, there's no damn way I'm going snowboarding tomorrow.

Razzi

there's no damn way im doing anything today lol. it's cold
and there's a lunar new years celebration at my place anyway. next weekend?

Takata 18

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.

MyPearl02

i got it today it only took me like 45 mins so and no more squeaking!!!!!!!!!! thank god

underst8

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

same thing that happens at every one of my family gathering. food, alcohol and company. all of which are in excess

Razzi

im pickin up my wheel bearings tomorrow so if dan still wanna get his stuff done. we can do my sheez too. free this weekend

asujosh1

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?

Razzi

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

Takata 18

I say Headers and pulley You can always get the G25 later. Headers and pulley means MORE PONYS.

asujosh1

I gotta pick just one item to do, I want to do all three but I can't.

BlackuraTL

AsuJosh were you in Blaine yesterday by the airport? I saw a blue tl with tinted windows and the oem lipkit I dont know if thats what you have cuz if not we gotta get that guy on here.
