Ok, so I'm out for today. Just not worth the hour and half drive today since the weather is crappy! Still raining down here!

I'm going to suggest a meet where we can all get together in a couple weeks. There are still many on here that I've never met!

How about Sunday, May 20th? I would suggest a place like Dave and Busters in Maple Grove. Maybe meet around 10:30am in their parking lot, and then have some lunch at D&B's?? Something different anyways.

So who's in??? You can't let this "out of towner" be the only one that shows!!

Plus, I know there have been a few Western Wisconsin people lurking around that might come as well.

Niice, I swapped the suspension on my Corolla when I had it from S techs to H techs. S tech in Wisco was to low for my taste (with all the snow and bumps and what not). It was difficult getting into that space, I have relatively "large" hands too. That must be nice having fellow TLers to work with and stufff. How do you like the A-spec suspension? How noticeable was the difference from base? I want to change my suspension somewhere in the future.

Well there you go.... your doing WAY too much shit. I didn't change plugs but that shouldn't take you very long to do. I didn't clean ANYTHING! That's too much work, its gonna get dirty again. Coolant drains when you take the water pump off... well, enough of it does. changing your serpentine belt is one of the easiest things to do on your car besides oil. Did you change to a CAI? I don't know why you would take your intake off.


Bottom line.... get yourself a friend that is a tech at Acura.... Joe knows all the tricks to make it easy and has the right tools!!!

Yes it is nice to work with others. The A-Spec is nice great handling but still has comfort. It dropped 1.5" I like it that's all that matters and the price was great.

I would talk to Pinapple he got the brake motive way cheaper than this package. He has been very pleased with his set his is way cheaper than what you are buying.
