Ouch! Where did you get your intake from? I've seen a lot of people with the same problem with the AEM intakes. That's kind of the reason I took mine off. Glad you figured it out! Btw get of MW3

I'm not ignoring you, I'm just busy with work and kid's activities. I have been hard to get a hold of for everyone. I haven't been on here much lately, and i'm horrible at returning phone call's. So with your light there is no relation to your intake and the code you got. The most common thing i have seen for that code is the canister vent shut valve. It stick's closed and when the car runs it's readiness monitor for the evap system it will code again. It may take 2 day's or 2 month's to happen again. There isn't really an easy test for it, you need a honda scan tool to activate the valve to see if it's stuck, or fog the whole system with a smoke machine.

Just cuz the rides are away for the winter, doesn't mean we can't meet up and grab lunch/drinks/whatever. I'd be down to grab some BWW or something one of these weekends.

Sorry i've been MIA all summer for the meets. I've been very busy since my job is only busy in the summer. I promise to make it down next summer for sure. I only had Monday and Tuesdays off this year, i'll try and switch to weekends here and there.

I hit a deer last week. $2600 for repair, luckily I have a $500 deductable. Car should be going in the shop next week for a new bumper, drivers side headlight, and hood repair. I just ordered my front base aspec lip to finally finish that lip kit off. New ideas for headlights are in the works.

I had a lot of fun the seat was perfect turn 15 row 29 seat 1. I was able to see a little bit of the s's, and had a good vantage point for turns 11-16. The weather was perfect not to hot although the sun was a little intense and I got sunburned the first day so I made sure to wear sunscreen after that. I have an extra Vodafone Mercedes Mclaren ticket holder and lanyard. I bought a Michael Schumaker and Romain Grosean hat as well. I am not sure if Josh still lurks here but man the SH130 highway has an 80 mph limit and I was keeping up with traffic doing 90-95 but that was on the first day after that the police were out in force. Some goon drove his Veyron SS to the track and parked it rightat the main gate. I have never see so many performance cars in one place I saw at least 4-5 M5's like mine, tons of M3's, 911's, Evos, STI, TL's and even a Fisker Karma. It took me an hour the first day to find my car because I forgot exactly where I parked. I drove from Minneapolis to Wichita last Wednesday and Wichita to Austin Thursday. I left Austin yesterday morning and went straight thru, 12.5 hours, to Omaha where I am staying for Thanksgiving with my aunt and uncle.

Sounds like a good time. Josh was not going to the race. I had access to the on board cameras on the cars with my I phone

Well I got back last Saturday I was going to stay till Sunday in Omaha but I started feeling sick so I didn't want to get my aunt, uncle and cousins sick so I left early. The pic below is a set of three pictures I took from my seat at the race to make one big panoramic picture which is in my cubical at work. I had my camera turned up to 12MP and each of those prints is 20X30 so it looks a lot cooler in person.

Joe I have a question. What is WB Acura's policy on installing customer supplied parts? When I was in Omaha I changed the oil on my grandma's 05 TSX and I noticed the exhaust flex pipe is starting to tear and when you put the car in gear it makes a rattling noise. I am guessing it is the exhaust rattling because of the damage also the maintenence required light on the dash flashes a few times or stays on for a couple of seconds I cant remember which before going out. I am guessing this is something she can live with for a little while but her car needs a few other things to be addressed too. Is the schedule busy to get the car in next week or the week after and is it possible to request you to work on her car. She has told me about some of her experiences at the Honda dealer in Sioux City and it makes me nervous that they are taking advantage of her so I'd feel better if someone I trusted could make sure her car is in proper working order and safe.
