THE Bay Area Chat Thread (Part Trois)
Ok so I'm upgrading my exhaust here in 2 weeks. But I'm thinking of selling the stock Type-S quad exhaust. How much do you think it would go for? I've seen old posts with them going for $300? Is that too much?
So are there any meets planned for June around the Bay Area?

To all those folks asking when the next meet is/when's the next get together/next event/etc etc etc...There's a festival and car show in Sactown this Sunday (6/3/12). Admission is free, some local crews are going to be present, giveaways are provided by the sponsors (includes a free sponsorship for SEMA), and of course...models! LOL Though the registration has been limited or has been closed, here's a link:

for those of you guys who are slammed and have kids, i have a question. Do you guys take your kids around in your rides? im a first time parent and I'm getting nervous with the stiff ride causing my daughter to shake in her car seat... it helps her burp every now and then, but Im wondering if Im doing any damage to her...lol

my TL is some what going back to stock...stock suspension, exhaust, wheels, and painting the black back to NGM and maaaaybe even taking out the deck...giving it back to the parentals after 8 years of fun...everything on the motor is staying =0)
Let someone else drive and sit in the back seat of your car. Most of the time, the rear rides worse than the front. So if you think it's pretty bad up front as is, then it's gonna be worse for a little baby in back. I use to take my son on short trips in the box but had to swap out rear bags for something smoother. With that being said, we had a "family" car as well. Most of the time, we just use that. I doubt you will hurt the baby in any way. Most of the car seats are pretty legit today.
unfortunately driving slower doesn't change much. the car is just too stiff

as far as my shock towers go I decided not to do it. After talking with my body shop, the collision expert said that the shock towers are designed as crumple zones during crashes and modifying that will affect how the car crumples in an accident and also the timing in the airbags.... soooooo yea I decided to live with the slap lol
Guys! wanna help me help my sister out?

That's the same price my bro got quoted at the dealer, it was a bit high for me, so I changed it for him..
Parts: T-belt, WP, Tensioner, Drive-belt, idlers (2), T-stat & coolant (type 2).. total spend bit over $300 on parts.
DIY, save u lots, good luck with pulley bolt tho..

I just bought all the genuine parts myself from an online dealer and gave them to a local independent shop specializing in Hondas/Acuras. I think it cost me about 350 in parts and 500 in labor? Something like that.
I wanted to do everything so I wouldn't have to worry about anything on the engine again till 210k
