Good thing I didn't wait for Jorge to call me lol. I went right home after I left anyways. It was a long day already for this guy, waking up at 4:45 on a day off. Next year, we should plan on bringing some chairs so we can sit by our cars and BS for a little bit.

Great seeing all of you yesterday o haz a great time. Looking forward to more meets this summer I hope some of you can make the national meet this year. Hopefully the next meet we have a super car in our group. Travis I think you are going to be giving a lot of kiddie rides. Yussef is going to purchase that TL of yours. Makana great meeting you neighbor now that he knows you are Dominican I don't think you'll be invited over much. we got to plan the next meet so jake and joe can attend.

Sorry man we started loosing people and Kin wanted to install his fogs. Which by the way he did thanks to Waleyeman at my house. I had to get a door for my house and a buddy offer to go pick it up with his truck. It was great to see you are back. We have to set something set up a meet for our group.

I'd love to keep both, but the garage won't hold the MDX, TL-S, NSX, and my wife's car!! LOL!

I know that a few of you have expressed interest in my car before, so I wanted to make sure to let you know that it's up for sale. I've posted it on several car sale websites, but it's listed here on Acurazine as well.

It's UBER clean as several of you can attest to! I will be at the Boost for Boobies event this Saturday, April 26th so if you'd like to see it in person come on out! Otherwise, I live down in Rochester, MN.

See my ad on Acurazine thru the link below. If you have any questions, just shoot me a PM!

Has anyone heard from WBA lately? I hope he is alive, I need some work done on my car.

After getting pulled over 3 times in 2 months for my license plate, I decided to zip tie that mofo on the far right side of the car.....damn the man.

Nice to know your alive too!!!!! It figures you would zip tie your plate. Ha,Ha,Ha Some one said the fat cat should buy Travis TL. Then you could trade you our stock parts for all the mods on the car. LOL

I'm not talented enough to get that bracket I bought installed on my bumper...so it'll stay zipped until I find someone who knows what they're doing

Here's my summer:
6 year old: hockey, soccer, golf lessons, baseball
9 year old: hockey, soccer, golf lessons, lacrosse

Needless to say, I won't get out much.

*C'mon guys....I only traded my aftermarket exhaust

It's all good; I'm glad you guys at least had a productive day Thanks; it feels good to be back I agree; we need to set up a meet and cruise. Maybe we can include the G's and Z's like we did that one time!

I am considering on attending Cars & Coffee [https://www.facebook.com/events/687610567943891/] and Automotive Concept's Block Party [https://www.facebook.com/events/754563587901779/] this Saturday? Is anyone else considering on going?

Pending on the weather, I am considering on going to both. According to MapQuest, the events are 18.53 miles from each other (~22 minutes).

I've been away for awhile, but has TheWeez [https://acurazine.com/forums/members/theweez-207782/] made an appearance on this thread lately? On his profile it says he lives here in Minneapolis and drives a '03 CL-S 6-speed. It would be nice if he joined our meets and cruises so I'm not the only CL in the group lol

You will need to roll your fenders if you are any kind of lowered.

just make sure the lug pattern is 5x114.3 and since you are pretty low be prepared to roll those fenders. Hopefully no pulling is required

Did you roll yours when I had my 19s on my 04 I had the A-Spec suspention. I did not roll my fenders. On another note I am already for KC Matt. Will be there on Saturday morning. I am also bringing Boble Vader.

That is a very aggressive setup, I have the same specs but different wheels on a 225 tire and mine is pretty close, I couldnt imagine with a 245 tire and being any lower. Check out the xxr 530 thread in the tire/wheel section. look through the posts and see if someone has that fitment

This is mine, for now...

Yes, mine are rolled and pulled in the front cuz I was preparing for coilovers. But now we are getting a house, those are put on hold for a bit. 8.75 wide wheels with a +20 offset are pretty aggressive, it's not about the diameter of the wheel.

this weekend the 10th of may, some friends and their "car gang" are having a meet at full blown motorsports new shop in eagan. This is not the full blown opener which is in a few weeks, just a small meet I guess. If anyone wants to go let me know and I'll find out more details.

as for the national meet, I was planning on going but a friend just got engaged and his wedding is that weekend so no go for me anymore.
