I want I want...I broke. I can't remember what you wanted for them.

There is no question that the set-up is of good quality and a camber kit is a must. However, I think it is WAY to low.

multi areas.. you can put in where you put in oil to clean valves and stuff.. you need to change oil after you do it though..
if you follow the line from your brake booster line you unplug after the valve but before the line goes in to your intake manifold (while the vehicle is running) put the line near the bottle and allow it to sip it from the bottle since there is already vacuum there, DONT DUMP IT in it will clog and shut the engine off, after you allow it to sip half the bottle turn off vehicle allow it to sit for 15 minutes, turn it on after that and rev the engine to 3.5K rpm leave it there till smoke dissappears i usually have a brick or something i set on the gas peddle to hold it at that range then youre done..

^Well payday is 2 weeks from Wednesday. Do what you need to do. I've been selling on ebay like mad. Hey, that would be my entire paycheck!!! lol I'll look at the finances, however I really need new brakes in the next 5k miles. Been seriously considering buying the BBK from Lockwood at XLR8. He is cheaper than Horsepower Freaks and we have made up since our last spat. If I installed the Eibachs I would also want to do new strut cartridges at the same time.

We will need to schedule a "Seafoam day" and smoke out the folks at Carl's JR.

Happy V D everyone!:gheylaugh:

Had the same issue this weekend-Monday. I was thinking it was more likely a mild stomach bug. I had problems before I had the "Caramary" at the Thai place \/

for me, i just suck it in the vacuum line (usually break vacuum line) little by little. but never dump it in the engine oil or the gas tank.

ive done all 3 but for the TSX i only do the gas tank and the vacuum line.. 2 summers ago i did an oil change before wife and i went to the beach for a weekend and did the vacuum line and put the other half in the tank.. when i first got to the beach i averaged 26 mpg, on the way home i got an easily 30 mpg.. which to this date is the best ive gotten in the car.. (btw im heavy footed) so i didnt even try to cruise it. infact i think for the following 2 months after we were at about 28mpg cause wife did highway driving to and from work.. the car seemed peppier for that time too

now im back down to 25 mpg highway so im sure it needs a good jolt like i did 2 years ago

Love the Will Ferrell movies. I want to hire him to show up as me at the next meeting we have (dressed accordingly).

Boss: Mcgrew, it's bad enough that you wore shorts. But for the love of God, why are those shorts so short? McGrew: Why are long pants long? Why are bushes bushy? I mean, you know, I mean, if we're going to get in that area, we're going to be here all day, you know.

T-nights is one of his best works. I just rented Semi-Pro (On Demand), but I think Stranger than Fiction was better, even though he's really good at slapstick comedy.

OMG, got to help this beautiful girl this morning and remembered why I still work here. I was just thinking that she was a bit short for my taste when she met her friend in the lobby who was just as hot, but, you guessed it, taller.

However I still hate the parking situation around here.
Came out to find this guy parked next to me.


I mean c'mon asshole. Yes, there is a dent in my door. Yes, I left him a nasty note with my junk email address.

Yep, I've seen yours. IMHO they made that thing WAY to tight. The guy the pickup would hit both cars trying to fit in one of those spots.

Why didn't you immediately whip out your keys and carve into his door "DONT PARK LIKE AN ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE" ?

The thought crossed my mind, but I hate the Karma attached to that kind of thing. It's probably his dad's truck anyhow. Reminds me of a time I was at Les Schwab and the new kid took the side mirror off this guy's F350.

I finally got GT5. VERY addictive. Now that I've driven an S2000 in Rome I really want one. Going to ask Sunset Porsche/Audi if they will do a straight trade on the RDX for the 2006 they have on the lot.

Might put it on eBay. Had another bidding war over a used drawer safe/strong box. The idiots ran it up way over what it was worth again. WTF? It must be an ego thing. They just can't let go of the item.

Holy crappy parking job batman! I don't get how this even happens. If you get out of your car and don't see the line cuz you're on top of it, get the fuck back in your car and fix that shit. So annoying. Reminds me of the asshole that parks next to me at my house. My spot is next to a garage, which I love since there is less opportunity for idiots to hit my car or my wife's new Toyota, but pointless when I can barely pull into my spot. I've backed into the spot so close to the other car so that they can't open the driver door without hitting my car and if they do I will flip shit on them. Just teach them that they can't be idiots if they will be parking next to my car..lol

Next time I'll tape a large peice of cardboard to the door.
Some of the worst door dings on the RDX were the ones that Carrie put in the drivers door when she opened it up into the mirror on the Accord in our garage.

Now I just want to trade both off for something sexier. Like a 2008 S2000 and a 1993 Jennifer or Jessica.

Can't get Carrie to submit to the S2000. She doesn't want to give up the space CUV's have. We haven't been camping in 3 years and took the TL to Costco yesterday without issue (TP fits great on the backseat) yet I still have to drive this gas hog to work everyday. Need to have her drive it (RDX) for a while. I'm bored with it. Yes, IT could mean the car or the pussy.

The timing is off, she works nights.
It's just a mid-life crisis. I knew it was coming, it's been building up for a while now.

You start doing shit like:

You think life is a bore.
You start thinking about (or already) having an affair.
You suddenly make impetuous decisions about money and/or your career.
You make a dramatic change in your personal style or appearance and suddenly spend lots of time in front of a mirror.
You have little interest in spending time (or having sex) with your lady.
You drink WAY, WAY too much or start abusing other substances.
You display the classic signs of depression -- sleeping more, loss of appetite, don't care about others.
Become overly nostalgic and constantly reminiscing about your youth or first love, winning touchdown, etc.

EDiTIt happens right after you get your first pair of reading glasses)

^ ROFL

This is why I've been resisting going to the eye doctor. Living in denial about the issues I've been having with my eyes. I'm only 32 dammit.

Oh, and S2k will use as much or more gas than the RDX (I averaged 16mpg in mine).... and good luck in the snow.

Screw the snow. If it snows I automatically get the day off and Carrie drives the RDX to work leaving me with a TL and a set of Michelin Pilots anyhow. So my thought is sell the studded snows I have to you or Brandon and sit at home playing GT5, while Carrie goes to Les Schwab to buy snow wheels/tires for the TL. Then they can do all the work of taking those heavy studded snows on and off every time there is an inch of snow on the ground.

AND I get 16.5mpg now anyhow. I might as well have a canyon carver/chick magnet.

Yeah I figured as much. I drive the RDX full-asshole if I'm alone in it, so my mileage is super suck. Don't care, I have plenty of fun with it if I turn off the traction control. Drifting a 3900lb CUV is lulzzz.
