Update

He should be aware remind him how he reffered me back to the dealership where he his old co worker at who is now a serriamonte acura helped me rebuilt my tranny because of it. The other dealerships wouldn't do it and he also helped me verify the issue. It must have slipped his mind haha.

I'll be heading their this friday for him to work on my new ride. Although I miss my 07 TL-S 6mt at times.



Oh yeah he use Amsoil he has a lot of it at his shop good stuff

There is a guy that makes VIP tables and eyelines for the xb who made one set of rear visors. I guess the cost to make them was too expensive. I know who bought that set, but the guy doesn't want to sell them. (even though he's not running them) I did buy a second set of rear visors to hack up but I need the right saws to cut them up.

Think these will fit my Integ and look decent? Opinions?

http://www.racinglab.com/5zigen-fn01...black-004.html

I already have the 15x7 with the +42 offset. I think these would look/fit better though. I think I may have to roll my fenders if I get these but not really sure.

Here's a better picture: http://www.5zigenusa.com/products/wh...chot/hv_mb.jpg

Denzil - Those look exactly like you're current setup. Why not mix it up?

Well, I looked at getting Buddy Club P1 QF wheels but those are kind of pricey for me right now. The SF's are great alternatives but that's the difference between cast and forged wheels (QFs are forged while SFs are cast). However, the FN01R-C Hot Versions are cast as well but they have a more aggressive offset (+33 versus the +35/+42/+45 on the P1s).

It's nothing set in stone but I like both of those sets of wheels but am certainly open to ideas.

CL version 3.0 has begun....muaw hahaha...

CL was towed today to San Jose to begin motor work.

Thanks to insomnia...I pulled the trigger on Unorthodox Crank Pulley and Rotora BBK.

Found my custom CF trunk lip under the bed...hmm...muaw hahahaha. Next to Carbon Fiber splitter. [epic fail]

Actually, I've got a long way to go but this is a step in the right direction.

Now I'm looking forward to "driving" to Acurafest...not just attending!

16's are cool, just that the price on tires goes up. I think some 17" tires are cheaper since not too many people run 16's.

Ever think about just having your wheels refinished?

Check the Azine wash/wax forum because there might still be some sales going on from the vendors.

I just scored a few items for 15% off + free shipping.

I'm no detailing guru but most every thing I ever had to get that was quality stuff was purchased online.

Haha, I'm not that hardcore into the flush scene but I like it enough to be more aggressive than I am now without sacrificing my cornering ability.

Hrm, I suppose I could reconsider my wheel size.

I actually have thought about having my wheels refinished but wouldn't that just cost as much as getting a new set of wheels?

Not any to sell offhand unfortunately. I haven't been doing very many paint corrections lately so I've been trying to cut down on what I have. I typically purchase everything online, mostly from Detailer's Domain or Detailed Image. However, when it comes to microfibers, I tend to purchase from PakShak.

Yeah, that's a pretty good deal.

Most definitely. Yeah I'm debating what color to powdercoat my BBK or to just keep it red.

If I can find a good deal I might re-paint the car.

Know any local companies that do powdercoating? For my BBK.

Any idea of cost? Like around $100?
