As for a mid-January meet, I'm busy until the weekend of the 17th, so could do it either Saturday the 17th or Sunday the 18th? Or would the next weekend work best?
Yep, I bought the TB kit on RockAuto and it's just waiting to be installed.
Mid-January meet sounds good to me. Happy New Years!!
That's cool you have all the tools to do it specially the one for removing the crank pulley. Without one you are going to have a hard time. Did you get all the TB pulleys and the water pump. Sometime some of the kits don't give you everything. I want to do my coil overs I just have to find the time. I just gothink two new jack stands I just got to do a little at a time.
Well I'll be at the Barrett Jackson Auction in Scottsdale the 14th to the 19th. Other than that I'll be around. I got some parts for the car as the Honda parts dealer online had free shipping on Cyber Monday. I got the rear lip spoiler, illuminated door sills, interior illumination and an auto dimming mirror which didn't come with the wiring so I had to order that after the rest of the parts had arrived. I stayed after work for two hours for four days to install them in my companies heated warehouse. Now that I am finished I can say it was a lot of work for very little reward the spoiler fought me every inch of the way trying to pry it off. The interior lights are barely visible even in pitch darkness the door sills required removing almost the entire lower half of the dash and kick panels and I only get to see my effort for the 3-5 seconds it takes me to get in the car. The only part I really am getting use out of is the auto dimming rearview mirror. I am not sure why that isn't standard on an EX-L V6 as it should be.

Yep I got all the pulleys and the water pump with the kid. Do you need 2 more jack stands?
When are you doing the suspension swap Jorge? I may be willing to come help. Weekends are usually open for me.
Thanks Nate For sure I appreciate any help. I wanted to get started during the holidays. But I hope to get started this week. Let me know when you can come. I welcome help
I might want to start tomorrow doing the small stuff like Jack in the car taking the wheels off and removing the rear seats. Depending on how cold it gets this week I do have a jet heater for the garage so I can keep it pretty warm
I decided to give my car a wash last Sunday at the beginning of the sub zero arctic blast cold we had. Once I got to work on Monday everything was fine with the only exception of drivers side door not opening. After work, the car was completely frozen shut, all doors and windows. Called the unlock company and they sent two guys at different times and had no luck with getting the car unlocked. Apartment keys were also in the car, went spent the night at my cousin’s place and wore the same cloths to work the next day. Insurance refused to tow the car cause it was my fault the car was frozen. Somehow, they towed it to White Bear Acura on Wednesday and Joe had them park it in a warehouse to thaw out. Joe went the extra step to check the entire car for any issues. And finally, Wednesday night I got my car back and was able to finally enter my home and wear a clean set of clothes to work on Thursday. Again, thank you so much Joe, your work and kindness was really appreciated.
