Is he gonna pick up? It will probably be cheaper to do that than ship. I'm driving to socal when my wheels arrive because of that same reason.

son of a bitch, speeding ticket here in Kansas 65 in 55, was actually clocked at 69 but he knocked a few off. guess the camber kit and other parts are gonna have to be pushed back another month depending on what the damage is when i get the ticket in the mail.

That sucks Vimal!

I got pulled over yesterday for, apparently, an illegal turn in S.F. I was going to get the ticket but at the last minute the cop let me go since I was with the GF and we were just going to the S.F. Zoo. Of course I was being respectful too so I'm sure that helped.

There's a go-karting/car show event being planned by Emperor Motorsports and I just wanna let you guys know if you might wanna attend. It's open for all cars for showing (not just evos). BTW, hey Dennis, you think the guys at photoshootmycar might wanna join in on this (vendor/exposure opportunity)? Please let me know... Info link is below:

Idk but, as I remember, the CL 6 speed didn't show up until the last year ('03) & as for the TL, both those are hella hard to find. But maybe you can try asking someone named hey-suse who used to be such a pw here then decided to go join some benedictine order of non-posting monks

If you have a 2G TL, then it's better to sick with the 03 CL tranny. Pretty much a direct bolt-on.

I remember back in the day, the 6G accord guys tried to use the 7G accord manual tranny (same as the 3G except no LSD) but there's something off about the wiring or connection for something that had like 4 pins instead of 6.

It was something of that nature, and/or something with the ECU also.

But 03 CL trannys are pretty rare.

You don't want to know. Actually I am a little bit ashamed to admit what I am drivning now.......... a 2010 Prius. I needed a car with better gas mileage since I just started a new job in foster city. Hey Angelito, do you think you could get a hold of Nam? A while back he was asking me if I wanted to sell my stock TL-S wheels. I told him I was hanging on to them but now I am selling them. Let him know. I think he still has my number.

Nope no part out. I didn't feel like taking the time to remove all the parts and then spend the time selling and shipping all the parts.

There's noting wrong with a Prius, I would actually like to own the latest gen. It looks very IS-like. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of job did you pick up in Foster City? I used to work out there for Sony.

Yo, sorry to hear about the tix. If it makes you feel any better, I got 2 tixs in the span of 2 weeks. I was going the exact same speed 2 (89 in a 65). 1 tix in the M (I broke my cherry!), and the other in the Hybrid. Hell, u mite wanna ask Kiran about the "Hybrid Experience".

'Bout $700 later...ouch!

Yeah I really like this model compared to last years. I picked up a IV Model which has leather and navigation. I got a job at Gilead Sciences which is a pharmaceutical company. It's hard work but I think this company is really the place to be.
