Whoa...haven't seen you on here in a minute!

Nice bike. You still got the TL?

 

nice bike Viet!

noah, look at the first pic again.

 

 

Fronts



Rears

 

hope that fits. seems like a high offset for such a wide rim. you may have clearance issues on the inside.

 

Really? They came off an 8th Gen accord and they clear the BBK on a 3rd Gen TL.

Where do you think I'd have clearance issues?

 

it would most likely touch against the coilover. but im not sure since the CL is a little different than my car. ask lippstuh.

do you know the specs of your current wheels? u can plug it into the wheel offset calculator i use and see how much it will change both inside and outside

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

 

My current wheels are:

18x7.5 +45

It says that it'll be 36mm less [Inner Clearance] and 40mm extended [Outer Position].

I don't know much about fitment. I should ask Phillip.

 

so basically what you need to do is see if you can somehow get under the car while its on the ground from the back and measure how far your current rim is from the coilover and subtract 36mm to see where the new rim will sit. and add 40mm from the outer lip of your current rims to see how far they'll sit out.

 

pho ap chao is pretty bomb at Pho Huong over on Quimby and Tully in the FoodMax plaza next to Payless Shoes but I'm down to try yours out!

 

ahh thats the new pho joint, havnt been there yet....i'll try it this week!

on a side note..who all go accepted for wekfest, and who all is going to spectate?

 

sickkkk lets ride 8)

 

I'm in. I was wondering if anyone else from here made it. I seen a CL and A couple TL's on the list.

 

Oh really? A CL?

I know Vimal is in.

I'm probably going to check it out since it's here in the city.

 

Me and Eddie are in. i also saw Ronnies GTR on the list
Lito is working as staff for the event. so there will definitely be some A-Zine folks there.

 

You get all your gear yet Johny? I'm still saving up for a track suit. This new hobby is expensive.

 

sick new ride vietnastee. hopefully i'll be getting one by this summer!!

 

Yup I've been riding all month now.. all geared up except leather pants which i don't anticipating on getting unless/till i decide to go track.
Gottta shoei helmet, rs-taichi jacket, dainese shin pads, a* boots. Only exposed area is my thighs which is probably unlikely to be the first encounter with the floor on a fall anyway. Been practicing a lot - done redwood/skyline already.. almost all my chicken strips on right lean is gone but still slowly working on the left

how much you cop for?

06+ r6 right?....or is that a r1?.. dual exhaust =O

 

Haha is that my old Hockey Skates I see?

 

haha the "cl" is mine, they obviouslyyyy had a major typo :P sick to see eddie made it in, jay (grapejelly tl) is in, and one says DRAG so im assuming its one of the TL's around here that got that turbo.

 

lol mine shows up as Evo 9 lol I'll be driving an Evo 9 to the show and someone will be driving my TL. We have the number 331, 332, 333 spot on the list.

 

It's an 07 honda 600rr. Got a good deal on it, $4k with 10k miles on it and clean title. It has the Jardine RT-1 exhaust on it but it's super load. Hurts my ears so I"m planning to get some quiet inserts for them. Need a new brake light too because the one that comes with the fender elminator is too dim.

The only real gear I have now is a Shoei Rf1100 helmet my gf bought me for christmas and some Alpinestar gloves my friend gave me. I got some cheap steel toe boots from walmart that I used for the MSF class but it's not that great, the toe is kinda fat so it's hard to shift sometimes.

I'm saving up for the dainese avro 2pc suit for the track.

I haven't been riding much. I've been just practicing in a big parking lot near my house to get the braking and swerving down to a T.

Thank you meesheddie, Vimal, and Noah for your compliments.

Yes David, those are your hockey skates. lol

 

so your tl is going to be done? SWEEEEEET! i see you winning a category very easily.

im excited just to have my car there, i know i wont win anything because i get mixed in with all the civics with motor swaps and wire tucks but this is my first REAL show so im excited regardless.

 

ahh didn't see the front pic.. that is a hell of a deal..! craigslist??
I gotta yosh trioval shorty exhaust on mine and its pretty loud, but i usually ride with some headphones (on low volume) - but the plugs makes things quieter on its own anyway

i've gotta RF1100 too... the monolith. Super comfy helmet and lotta ventilation! good choice. copped mine on black friday for 25% off

Dainese @ SF is having a clearance sale right now.. i think 40-70% off

btw get one of those squeezer exercise things thats shaped like a "<" ... your clutch fingers are gonna get hella sore the first week or two haha

 

Haha well it's urs now remember? I have hockey gear so come play

 

my car will most likely be there unpainted, unfortunately.

 

I'm def going to wekfest now since Jay and his bagged grape Jellleay TL will be there...

U guys go all out on ur gear when I had my bikes I rode with helmet and gloves that was it. Want to pick up another one but dont think thats going to happen esp with my new car coming

 

Yea, I bought it off Craigslist who was desperate for money. I had my homey check out and ride the bike and he said everything was koo.

Thanks for the heads up on the Dainese sale. I'll check it out.

 

fixed...

YEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH

 

That time of year again! This year I'm raising money to further support the American Cancer Society. I have been volunteering my time the previous two years!

Please click the following link to donate!

haha thanks for correcting me.

 

In 2006, my childhood babysitter, a mother, a wife, and my mother's best friend, Lorna Yeung, was diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through many stages of chemotherapy and was on the road to recovery. Late 2007, we got news that there were still traces of the cancer, and that it had spread too far for radiation treatment to do anything. Lorna had a mental breakdown following the news, and what we thought was mental became physical. Her body stopped fighting the disease and she already knew that she was not going to make it. On my Birthday, March 26, 2008, she gave me a call to wish me a happy birthday, and told me to do everything that I can to keep my mom happy, and to never take anything for granted. I stayed on the phone for over an hour with her, listening to her stories of me. I didn't understand that this was her goodbye message to me until a few months later. On 7.27.08, her husband woke up beside Lorna, not breathing.

Since she has been diagnosed, I have been actively volunteering for the American Cancer Society whenever and wherever I can, in hopes of finding a cure for cancer patients. This year, a few friends/ACS colleagues decided to start our own fundraising team, and currently leading in the money raised.

Below is a pie chart showing you where your money is going


Fact:
* Every 50$ helps fund five rides to and from treatment for a cancer patient


This is for a great cause..if you know or had met anyone that had suffered, recovered, or passed away from cancer..this is how you can make a difference. You may not able to cure cancer, but you do hold the power to help find a cure and touch the lives of many.

Pack lunch to work one day, have one less beer at the bar, take public transportation to work one day. As little as 5$ (minimum) donation will go a long way. From now until the relay (June 4th), if I can raise 5$ a day, thats 600$+!

*Money paid goes directly to ACS

Please support me and my team by the following link
