RE: Opposition to H.B. 2186

To: Minkyu Lee (minkl81@hotmail.com)
Thank you for your message regarding House Bill 2186. This bill reflects a concept created in the Governor's office. It was then referred to the House Committee on Environment and Water (on which I serve as one of eight members). At the bill’s first hearing, held on Tuesday, February 3rd, I explained to the witnesses from the DEQ that I was not happy with the concepts contained in the bill. The delegation of power to the DEQ is far too great and the economic impact of the bill is too far reaching. The bill will, I am sure, require additional public hearings.
I represent District 60 (Malheur, Baker, Harney, and part of Grant County). I am certain that a majority of my constituents will oppose many of the ideas in the bill, particularly those which will negatively impact our economy. I would strongly suggest and recommend that you contact your state representative and share with him (or her) your thoughts regarding this bill.
Very Truly Yours,
Representative Cliff Bentz

There will only be one or two reps/senators outside the Willamette Valley who would ever support that stupid idea. Oregon is very conservative east of Bend and south of Eugene.

Ken: Thanks
Chris: if i had stretched tires i would have a gap again. and 20mm spacers are too much for me.
Plus i dont want my wheels looking like the bottom of a coke can so i could run single digit offset.

Looks great Kyle! No negative camber? Is that with the spacers?
BTW, I took your advice and called Speed Concept. I have an appointment tomorrow to put in the Tokicos. Thanks.
A friend suggested that I call Clarke's because he's had good service from them. They wanted $112 to install each stock/strut! They also told me that I needed to replace the boots and mounts too - for another $150! Speed told me that it's rare that the boots and mounts need to be replaced. Just for giggles, I priced out the boots and mounts at Excelerate's web site - Tokico struts and boots would cost me < $70 total. Clarke's FTL.

The 2010 Acura TSX will get the same 280 HP 3.5-Liter V6 found in the Acura TL, curing the biggest problem we have with the 2009 TSX.

I've heard one million and one rumors on the TSX engine, there were speculations on the V6, the turbo K in the RDX, SHAWD, etc... none have been anything more than rumors.

ya ill believe it when i see it.. would be nice to either have the v6 or the turbo diesel would deff make a funner car to drive

I did see an SSM 3G parked outside SC with tinted wiindows and lowered with some gunmetal (I think) rims and stock exhaust. I didn't stay around long enough to notice what brand.

hey chris have you changed out your highbeam bulbs at all? I changed mine and they seem darker.. i also notice the connector has a copper and a silver side so i am curious if the copper has the black wire going to it or the white (think its white anyway)

haha... i've been wanting new wheels but my gf's been strongly opposing until this month. for the last two or three months, i kindly explained her the benefits of new wheels (such as weight saving = better mpg
), plus it won't cost me much since selling the aspecs will offset the cost.not official approval to buy but she wants to review the choice of wheels that i want. first one was no go (rpf-1...)
Yeah, that was my extremely dirty 2G SSM TL-S. Nick put the Tokico blues in - the ride is so much better than the old stockers! I didn't see your TL-S Min though - I was down the street at Arby's (friend is owner/operator) until he was done with the install.

And raise my car?!?! i already made that sacrifice once this year...Although i did even out the passenger side today, and when it was raised on the jack it looked really good about 1 inch higher.

slightly stretching the 225s will be okay i think. that 10mm difference is huge when talking about fender clearance.
man... i only did half of what i was going to work on my car today...
weather was too cold and paints wont stick that good. good thing i painted the engine covers first before painting bottom of my front lip.
also i thought 9006 bulbs will fit in the fogs but it didn't work out either. will have to exchange for the H8 hid kit.
i did manage to cut about quarter inch of intake so filter sits bit higher than before.
btw... anyone needs a led panel interior light? this will fit in the tsx's dome light. i totally forgot that tl's interior lights were plug in type... bought it for 12.99 today and will sell for 10. chris, you'll need this one

So i drove around tonight with my girl and the only time i rubbed was on the portion of the front bumper that sticks out more than the fender. This will get fixed tomorrow, but more than likely ill just run these tires untill they are too chewed up and get some 225's.
So i just cant weigh down my car and im fine.
