Anywho, I'm lookin to go to a few meet and greets, time permitting, see what kind of trouble I can get into with this car when she's stored in the winter!

Welcome! I'm sure that we'll get some more meet and greets scheduled sometime here soon. A few of us are heading down to the National Acurazine meet in Kansas City in June. After that....I'm all for getting together and doing some grillin' or something!

Just replaced my Continental DWS tires with another set...managed to squeeze 43,XXX out of them with my eratic driving habits. The guy at discount tire made an offhand comment about Acura's eating tires...not sure what he meant?

Pineapple...how are your slotted and drilled rotors holding up? There is a little wobble when I slam on the brakes at high speed. Shouldn't be tire balance since I just got new shoes. Need to get an alignment but I doubt that will fix the wobble. Might be time for another rotor job?

Just moved so that has kept me busy trying to get stuff done around house. Also coaching my 5 yr old's baseball & soccer teams along with my 8 yr old's baseball & hockey teams. Needless to say, I have no life.

Well, hope to see you all at a meet (on a Sunday ) this summer.

Later!

Those rotors suck dude... Im going back to stock this summer.... Let me know when you need to do yours

How sad.

Yup, still planning on leaving on Thursday early AM. We've got tickets for the Twins vs. Royals game that Thursday night in KC. Then I think on Friday morning we're going to go golfing before the Acura crew gets together for dinner later that night.

Anyone have a suggestion for replacement fr and rear rotors if I still want slotted & cross drilled rotors?

I'd like to keep the cost around $300 or less if possible.

Drilled , an slotted decent set will run you $360.00 - $370.00 with out pads. Standard rotors will be cheaper.

You actually thought Jake was going to go to KC? You have a better chance of being the Powerball winner from last weekend than of Jake not flaking out at the last minute and making up so lame work excuse. I guess he put more effort into the excuse than last years "I got things to do." I have a feeling this is going to be Jake's guidelines when his son wants to go fishing at the cabin up north.

I'm either gonna take him to the cabin in the woods. Or I'm gonna promise to take him and then not take him, but the one thing that I will never do is not tell him that I'm taking him to a cabin in the woods, and then not take him.

Ok I'm done post whoring now.

Would love to, but I'll be at a Twins game that day with some friends. Arg! It seems all the meets so far this year are just landing on bad dates for me!

Would have been nice to see Alex, Lil' Crazed too, as I used to work with him back in the day.

I won't be there as I'll be at the Dover International Speedway for the FedEx 400. Hey Jorge for poops and giggles I checked to see hotel cost in Monaco this weekend for the Grand Prix and it is $14,000 per night so two nights plus all taxes and fees was over $30,000 and tickets to the VIP apartment to watch qualifying and the race are $3,800 and $3,900 respectfully.
