My girlfriend bought me a car starter for christmas! I just ordered a set on Morimoto Mini H1 projectors to start my quad retrofit for my headlights. Now I'm looking to get the timing belt package so I can get that done this spring. That's about all the mods I have in mind ATM
Aspec kit shouldn't be to hard to do. I did my rear lip and it went pretty smooth. Take a look at these and they'll help a lot!

I've got the Type-S Aspec kit on order....should arrive sometime this week! 
It was really hard finding a total kit though since Acura has now discontinued making this kit in my color (ASM). Now I just need to find someone who knows what the hell they are doing to put this thing on come Spring! 
I've also been contemplating purchasing the Sarona roof spoiler as well. I'm 50/50 on it right now.

Don't feed the...WTF?
I'll put the sides on if someone else does the front and back. Steaks for all! lol
It really wasn't bad at all to install the kit. It does take a couple of hours, mainly due to the detail work with drilling and screwing. Best to take an afternoon to make sure it's done right, rather than trying to get it done in an hour before a date. lol
I miss hanging out in the garage! Next time you have people over Jorge, let me know. I can goto BW3's anytime (will do that too though... lol)

PCD's installed ! took 2 and a half hours, after 35 miles of driving no CEL and everything is good.
Car sounds like a monster no RASP at all, little more drone than usual.
MPG has decreased on the highway, but I will keep monitoring it for the next few days !
PCDs > any bolt ons for sure !

I believe that's where my brother had his S2K tuned and dyno at. Now he drives the black Lexus IS350. And that's where they held Rice killer Monday meets at, at one point.

I don't know how much truth their is to that, but I haven't had any problems with mine so far, I had it for about a month now. I have the AstroStart RSS-2524. My only complaint is that I go through a lot more gas than I'd like to, it was nice to have the past few days waking up to -10 temps though.

Boom!
who even remembers me here? haha.
Sorry for being away for so long guys, it's been hectic and not seeing my car made this site hard to go on..
Little update----... I sold the TL
I'm selling some OEM parts in the black market for extra cheddar so I can get a new car, but for the time being I'm whipless.
How've you guys been?!

Detailer in Minneapolis area?
Hello fellow Acuraziners in Minneapolis. My cars hiding out for the winter but when she comes out I really want to get a good polish on it. I maintain it pretty well, but I don't want to F* up the paint trying to buff/polish it myself. I saw this dudes site http://www.detailedimage.com/Ask-a-P...-pearl-part-1/
And I would kill to have him do that to my ABP color. Do you guys recommend anyone in town?
Thanks so much
Joel.

I have seen plenty of aftermarket rebuilds come into the shop that have been towed in after the rebuild fails and leaves them stranded. I know acura has a 3year 36month warranty on their remans but they are not cheap. The best bet for the second gens is to install a 04-06 trans as they had fewer issue's. Here is a thread on the upgrade... I have done a handful of these upgrades myself, and will be doing one on my car when i finally blow my trans. The 99 being a 4speed AT does require a few extra pieces (5speed AT ecu & 5speed AT engine harness) even with the extra's you will be well under the price of a rebuild or reman Trans.
We can discuss further on Sunday...remind me, I have a shitty memory

Don't feed the...WTF?
Just PM WannabeG and he can work with you. I had him do a full polish on my Infiniti. Did a great job, and it was pretty quick too. He did have my car overnight (he does actually spend some time on the vehicles, not just a quick hour buff). He can provide pricing depending on what you're looking to have done - but he is very reasonable. It cost me a couple hundred bucks for him to put 8+ hours of work into my car.

FOR A COUPLE OF HUNDRED BUCKS I WOULD KEEP MY CAR SPOTLESS ALL SUMMER.

Just had to come on here and gloat a little. Had my company's holiday party tonight, and I walked away with an iPad 2! Had a casino night and I took 2nd. First was a 50" TV. Then there were some HP netbooks. Definately a happy camper
