Thanks for the warm welcoming in the passed posts! I am hoping to make it to some of these meet ups once I complete my timing belt job. It's at sitting at the diy shop I go to with the belts off. New ones go on tomorrow wish me luck! Oh and I am pretty pumped to get my UR pulley on.

I went to Stellar Autoworks in Plymouth today to take care of some things.
-Replace both front tires.
-Road force balance all 4.
-Install Progress RSB.
-Install Ingalls RSB end links.
I have to say that those guys at Stellar Autoworks are honest and do great work. They got working on my car right away . The improvement of the Progress adjustable RSB is nice. The steering wheel feels soo much more responsive and tight .

Nice I notice the difference on mine as soon as installed the RSB on my car too.

Yeah man, I could only imagine how much more responsive it would be if I set it in the stiff setting. But I'll wait till I can pick up a FSB 1st before I do that.

I just bought a black 2007 G35x sedan. As for the Accord I gave it to my little sister so the car will be around back in stock form. I actually dreading on parting out the car but I got tons of parts thats compatible with the 2nd Gen TL/CL guys that I need to sell.

Btw for the life of my I cannot remember what car you drive.

LOL its a small world, Ive been a member on here for awhile when I had my Accord. If i attend the meet at least I won't be the only G representing. LOL Thanks for tolerating my newbie questions over pm's.

CRV_33 and all this time I could've pm'd you on here instead of on V6 performance lol. Anyhow like I told you before, congrats on the nice upgrade . Get some coilovers, & drop it on some nice wide low offset 19's lol. And your little sister is lucky to be driving around in your old car, even in stock form. That car was a nice 1st car for me . WBA-01 drives a SC 2nd gen TL. I forgot what color, but I will guess blue?

Pholover27 that is a lot of mileage. When you're going to buy a high mileage car like that, you have to have money on available to fix & replace parts. That's just my opinion though.

2nd generation TL's look nice too. Just drop it with coilovers since you can raise the height back up for Winter. Get the Oem lip kit & some nice wheels and yours will look nice as well .

I see, take your time. Create a blue print of how you want you car to look like completed. Then slowly piece together the puzzle. That's how I'm doing mines lol. No need to be in a hurry or rush things.

No, unfortunately can't make that one as we have friends coming into town. However, I'm up for meeting on May 5th for CnC if everyone's up for it.

On page 251 we had this post on were to meet to cruise to B4B

My thoughts were to get there around 11 get to see a few dnyo pulls and stay for the car show, the actual show cost $10 to enter your car but last year they had parking that was free. As far a meeting place there is a McDonalds one exit before MAP on 169. There are also 2 gas stations at that same exit. That way no one is driving out of their way since it's right next to the event. Here is the address, let's just narrow down a time...

Mcdonald's
9315 Medicine Lake Road
Golden Valley, MN 55427
