I just want you to keep posting so I can look at your avatar.

I'm out of town this weekend too. Visiting the GF in Chicago - excited for the first real chance for a long drive with the suspension

I need some thoughts guys...

I have a chance to pick up a the Aspec rear lip locally for $75. The problem is that the lip is WDP.....but as some of you know i have NBP. Would you get the lip and paint it? or just get the correct color and call it day?

If you could find a good body shop to match it go for it if not buy the right color

Bump for my birthday.

Not doing anything special today - my parents were gonna take me out, but I told them maybe this weekend. I got a meat raffle and some bingo to play later.


I took tomorrow off too, so I'll be at home playing vids. I'll probably open my Halo 3 legendary edition finally and start playing that.

xbox tag = willums 360 (need the space in there)

It all started because anytime I goto the bar - I usually get the "norm" greeting - expect everyone is half in the bag already, so instead of "Williams" - everyone yells "WILLUMS"

Hopefully I can get online - I think my XBL account may have expired last month. Either that or this month. Maybe that will be an added gift to me

happy birthday brian. supercharger woulda been nice, but fraggin dan's ass online is probably more satisfying

got a bit of a problem to sour the mood. cleaned my battery clamps and terminals yesterday, then tighten the clamps. it was so lose before i can just take the clamp off the terminal without any effort.

well, i started the car up after that, rpm shot to 1500. and slowly dropped to 0 and died. happed like 3x. and each time i had to give it gas to keep it alive.

doesnt happen anymore, but it idles really rough for the first 30 seconds or so after start up. guys?

Next meet is a Tune-up day? My car by no means runs rough, but I do notice a surge in power (probably 200rpm?)

I've been thinking it may be time for new plugs and such?

Could be what you need too. Otherwise - from what it sounds like, exactly how much does the ECM control in our cars? I've heard of people getting new batteries and their cars run better. Could it be that you have a bad/failing battery, or that the ECM is used to a flaky connection, and now that it is full -- it's too much?

Fuck it - I'm already drunk. We can figure this out tomorrow when I'm sitting at home "learning to frag shit"

But for now - I'm leaving again. Got a couple more bars that I haven't pulled the B-Day card at yet, so I gotta get my free drink on.

You should not need plugs for atleast 100'000. Thats what Acura recommends. Clean your CAI filter First.

Weird. I filled up the tank last night and when I started the car it was acting all effed and seemed like it was about to stall, I think it would have if I had not shut it off. Restarted and it did the same thing. Shut it off, let it sit for a minute and started up normal. Any ideas?

My thought was bad gas as well. I went to the Holiday on Central in NE Minneapolis, so that would kinda be concerning. I can tell I for sure got premium from the burning hole in my credit card. Everything's been fine since.

mmm, seafoam might not be a bad idea. Never done it before - do you just pour it in and go? or is there like a procedure involving the level of gas in your tank? Isn't there some way to do the intake side of the engine as well?

throw a can of seafoam into your gas tank and let it work slowly on the way to chicago, wont be as insane as the stuff if you throw it in your intake valve and crank case and 1/4 full tank., but it's something
