Razzi, you been rolling around University avenue in frogtown lately? I keep seeing one just like yours, kitted and all. Tails are tinted kinda like Sleepy's. Or if not, might just be that guy from the Mount Airy buildings. Looks clean though.

I see...the guy I saw was turning onto Western from University avenue. Passed by him, I was trying to see if it was you lol...Asian dude with a chick.

Then I saw him later again leaving saint paul by Pennsylvania, I think he was turning into the Mount Airy homes. Definitely a 99-01. I'm pretty much around Frogtown everyday too lol.

I've got a good black and white pic or 2 of it on a hard drive at home. I will try and find them tonight so you can see.

As far as the MSPacura thing - I can put you up but I haven't really done much (read: shit) on that site since I left mpls. Someone else wanna admin it (Josh, Glow)?

To be perfectly honest with you, I've never done anything with HTML before. I am a moderator for www.mycomputerguyMN.com, but if you check it out, you will still see my placeholder page...lol

I'd be down for it as a learning experience as I have plenty of time, but if you or Josh is at all interested in this, by all means - go ahead.

(cliff notes: I will learn to update it if necessary to keep it alive, otherwise we can just continue to use AZ and keep things together without trying to update 2 sites)

all the sites and shops say 00-03, but it fits pretty good either way on my 99.
and mugen grill is probably last upgrade for a while, money is getting tight.. and also it isn't the real mugen grill, just one off ebay, but it looks good.

and i want the lip kit next but damn they're expensive

I spend 3 hours datailing this damn car, just so it can get rained on next week.

Being cool is a bitch sometimes...lol

Washed the car, spent over an hour on my hands and knees getting all of the tar off or my wheel wells, hood, mirrors, and both bumpers. Then I cleaned the rims, tires, glass, and inside of the car.

Whew. It's miller time.

I was almost thinking that we should have had a meet today - looks like it's going to be the last weekend of nice weather. Anyone up for tomorrow? I have to watch football, but we can either make it at my house, or before/after the game. Let me know whats up

for my Ipod stuff, I just always use Super C (free) and covert the file to output for an Ipod. works fine, and is quite easy.

Razzi, your avatar is freaking me out. Seriously what happened to that anime chick?

Spent some time cleaning, claying, and polishing the TL today. It still needs some more work, but it is looking pretty good. Now I just need to find someone to buy it from me...

If I end up trading it in, then I am going to sell the wheels myself. I would probably be looking for about $500 unless I could get new chrome rings for the rears. Most likely I would just leave the wheels as is and just sell them. As for exhaust, If I don't get any benefit from selling the car with it, then I would be willing to swap it out.

Basically, If I can't get any benefit by leaving the good stuff on, I would be willing to pull it off, but I have to work the deal first. The Mini I am looking at is with a private seller, so I might just have to wait until I sell the TL and see what is available.

I drove one and I fit just fine thank you very much.

The Acura weighs 3650lbs and has 260hp (crank) giving it a 14lb/hp rating.

The Mini weighs 2300lbs and has 163hp (crank) giving it a 14lb/hp rating.

Basically, it should be just as fast as the TL, but I have more options to tune the Mini than the TL has. Bolting on some of the John Works options can get that bad boy up into the 200-225 range and then we are talking about a seriously fast little car. (~10lbs/hp...)

Regardless of horsepower... similar size tires turning a lot less mass in corners!
