Yeah, like we've talked about before, I haven't messed with the LED side of it but can't be to hard. I was waiting for an email from you when the last time we talked lol. The only thing you have to remember is that I live two hours north of the TC area.

 

Yeah, I already have one in mind. But for now I can live with them being stock.

Thanks Nate , it's always good knowing someone local that can do retrofits.

I'm actually planning on getting these, whenever I get done with everything else.
http://hidillusionz.blogspot.com/201...-retrofit.html with the sequential led turn signals of course.

 

Aww yes. Those turn signals aren't cheap. Are planning on going quad? I know rich pretty well. He's been building and helping me with my stuff for years. He's the one who actually retrofitted my headlights. We're actually in the works of converting my reverse lights all to LED and custom LED angel eyes. Rich is a very good guy and does some awesome and very clean work, you won't be disappointed. I have yet to try a retrofit myself, but I know how to do most the aesthetics, like installing clear lenses, painting, clear diffusers, shield painting.

 

^^ yeah, definitely planing on going quad projectors. I know well that it'll cost a lot, that's why it's last on my to-do list. Whenever the time is right, 3000k fogs & 6000k low beams on that quad set-up.

 

Hey I have alot of goodies for your car if you are interested. My 04 was SSM color so let me know. I have all the engine covers painted SSM. You can check out what it looked like on my profile.

 

Hey Nate looks like your keeping your car now thats great. Hey I have a second set of TYPE-S head lights that I am planning to clear out. If you are down this area maybe you can give me some of the methods you use on your lights. I might even bring them to the meet.

 

Congrats Glow your back in the JAP circle again. What happen to the buying a MUSCLE car deal. Hope to see it at the meet.

I was planning on getting a pure HP, american muscle car for summer, and using the truck for winter like I have been. But with the gas prices lately, I've been spending roughly $70 every other day in gas to fill the truck. So I decided to go the AWD route, and get something I can drive year round again. Glad I got the car that I did - this thing is a beast at 306hp

 

Nates gonna crash at my house the night before the meet... you can come over and maybe we all can work on the headlights.

 

Is it AT or MT?

 

pm'd you .

 

Damn man, with these gas prices im gonna start catching the bus to work

 

Yeah just let me know what you need help with Jorge. Like Makana said I'll be at his house the day before the meet helping him out with his headlights.

You'll have to let me know what time you get off work, the only thing I'm worries about is the time frame to let the pair dry before sealing back up your headlights.

 

PM Replied

 

AT. Not quite as fun, but a lot more DD friendly.

 

I might be able to get off work early like around noon but if not, ill be done at 2pm then I have to pick up Makaia from school then ill be home around 3pm. Ill let you know as soon as I can about getting off work early.

 

So is the meet set for April 9th or are we pushing at a week foreword to the 16th? Just want to make sure so I can get my work schedule set.

 

I say leave it on the 9th, i'm out of town on the 16th.

 

Lets make sure the date is final so I can try and get babysitting arrangements.

 

How was the show last night. It was to cold to do the panel in garage I might try it today.

 

I can't make the 9th and you can't make the 16th...

Will you be out of town on Sunday, April 17th...?

 

I am interested in coming, April 9th would work better for me, I am actually going on a cruise with a bunch of friends to Duluth on the 16th. Where would this meet be held?

 

What the heck are you coming to my neck of the woods lol. I'm 20 minutes south of Duluth.

 

What about a Sunday? Then I wouldn't have to get a babysitter. Also seems like some people cant make some of the Saturday dates anyway.

 

That's what I was hinting at. I think we should do a Sunday also! Does Sunday, April 17th, work for everyone?

 

Saturday the 9th is fine. Because then you can relax and clean the car.

 

Hey how do you like your XXR I have been looking at the 522 or the 518. Both in black. How do they ride?

 

This is true. However, then I cannot attend since I have no one to cover my supervisor position

 

We could have 2 meets. This way it people can go to either one or both. If you say you are attending then show up.

 

It was a decent show for this time of the year, RiceKiller Had some nice cars including a 1500HP Twin Turbo Lambo.

Yeah I'm in gone that whole weekend

That's what i was thinking as well, Plus the 9th has been set in the Chicago section as well. This doesn't have to be the only meet we do guys. There is alot more time for more meets all summer long. Not to mention a motor swap day at my place one weekend this summer as well. Also Travis would you even have White Heat ready by the 16th or 17th ??

 

I'd just like to go when we have a decent amount of people there. It gets a little spendy for me driving two hours south a few times a month for car meets lol. To bad I'm the only one from the north, but it always seems to be that way with any forum I'm on.

 

Someone needs to make a decision so that people can plan for it. If no one wants to decide then lets all vote on it. Everyone post their choice and at the end of the week we can count the votes and the choice with the most votes wins.


1. Saturday April 9th
2. Saturday April 16th
3. Sunday April 10th
4. Sunday April 17th
5. Saturday April 9th and Saturday April 16th
6. Saturday April 9th and Sunday April 17th
7. Sunday April 10th and Saturday April 16th
8. Sunday April 10th and Sunday April 17th


Here are the choices everyone has already suggested. Everyone post your vote with the number or the complete date and at the end of the week we will count the votes and pick the winner. Sound good???

And like Jorge said... If you say you will be there then show up!!!

 

One more suggestion... We could Just have a monthly meet. this way people who can not make it to one can come to the other. Ill throw that choice in the pot as well.


9. Monthly Meet ( Date TBD)

 

twice a year a bunch of friends and I take a cruise with all of our cars, drive up hwy 23 have some fun take lots of rolling shots, then we go to grandmas for food and drinks then stay the night. Its a lot of fun and its away from home.

I love them!! Best purchase I've made in awhile. What size are you looking at?

Im down for either April 9th or April 17th (if we do the 17th then Nate can just drive down when I head down with all my friends if he wants to. we can get a few rolling shots of your car too )

 

I love them!! Best purchase I've made in awhile. What size are you looking at?

I had on my 04 19" and that's what I want to go with. Were did you get yours from?

 

I'd be up for a monthly meet, but if that doesn't go I'd want the latest date possible. Not sure when I'll have the time to throw everything together. Still going over the suspension because I'm worried about finding the right height and dealing with MN winters. Sounds like coilovers may be out.

 

Let's Officially set this first one for the 9th, and shoot for once a month on the second weekend of each month.

When: April 9th, 2011
Where: Meet will begin at the parking lot at Harriet Island
What: Cookout/Cruise to Bdubs to get food, then a cruise through some of the twisty's in Wisconsin

Here's the list...
1. Sleepybear (Matt- 99 TL)
2. nate_0022 (Nate- 07 TL base)
3. WBA-01 (Joe- 2000 TL)
4. Glowrdr
5. Takata18 (Jorge -07 TL-S)

 

What time is everyone meeting?

 

This year we are going to have monthly meets... hanging out with everyone only once/twice a year does not cut it for me!

That's a good suggestion, but I think we should just do one meet. We've had alright turnouts in the past for meets. If we have two meets so close to each other, I think the turnouts would significantly decrease. One of the main reasons we meet is to hangout with our Acura family, not only some of them.
I went to World Of Wheels the past couple years. I didn't go this year because it was always the same thing year after year. However, everyone who went seems to only talk about the RiceKiller booth. Sounds like that booth would have made the trip worth while lol.

I didn't plan on having my new suspension set-up installed by then... that's not going to stop me from attending the meet though lol. I still need help installing my coilovers, sway bars, and alignment kits... having help with the install would be much appreciated!

 

If we do April 9th, we should try and start the meet as late as possible. I usually get done supervising ACTs around 1PM in Cottage Grove and could be in St. Paul about 30 min. later... I can take off from my night job.
