So i just paid for more pieces for my HYPE-S swap.

Only thing left to buy are:

07-08 Base Front Lip (and make fit)
Type-S Foglights ($400 )

 

Damn you run a hard bargain.... hmm i have to pick it up then lol. When can you meet up? or bring it with you to work and we do a quick exchange?

 

That works for me, just tell me when and where

 

GOD DAMN auto warranty people keep calling my phone.. i swear i push 2 to be taken off the list and they still keep callin..

 

Current ride is 07 RDX and Accord. Wife wants to trade accord on new TL but now I'm not sure. Will it be worth the wait for type S or test drive the new triple cross over and see what Acura stuffs under that hood?

 

My plate got me in trouble a couple of times (hood kicked once and pulled over on I-5) because people remember the name on the plate and love to use their cell phones. It's difficult to remember a combination of random letters/numbers and I've been a madman behind the wheel of my Accord with the new xyz-123 plate with no cops at my house when I got home.

 

the new tsx will have the TL v-6 stuffed in it.. that will probably give you the better power to weight ratio.. plus it will be cheaper then a TL i would expect

 

i've been getting that call for a while too even though i push a button to deny the offer and take my name off the list. they start with a phrase something like "this is your final warning"


chris, have you bought the sound deadner yet?
i was thinking to buy some cheaper versions of dynamat and found this reveiw.

bascially this guy does several tests and chose RAAMmat BXT as best performance/$$$

 

Min - I was thinking about Second Skin but I haven't made a purchase yet. Probably will at the start May.

 

second skin looks very high quality but little expensive too.
i just ordered a roll of raammat bxt for $130 shipped. a roll is 100sqft and price is very good compared to 36sqft of dynamt for $130.

 

I'm just afraid that raammat may not deaden the sound enough. You TL guys already have fairly decent sound deadening stock. Us TSX'ers as you know have like none lol!

But at the price of raammat I can double it up...

 

Raammat BXT
63sqft $119

Mass Layer: Butyl
Form: Roll
Surface: glossy aluminum
Published Lbs ft2: 0.35
Measured Lbs ft2 (with release paper): 0.40
Net Measured Lbs ft2 (w/o release paper): 0.38
Published Thickness (mils): 60
Published Foil Thickness (mils): 2


SS Damplifier
40sqft $99

Mass Layer: Butyl
Form: Sheet
Surface: glossy aluminum
Published Lbs ft2: 0.42
Measured Lbs ft2 (with release paper): 0.47
Net Measured Lbs ft2 (w/o release paper): 0.44
Published Thickness (mils): 65
Published Foil Thickness (mils): 3

 

they're pretty close but on the tsx thread someone added in the raammat and only noticed a 2db drop and felt dissappointed:

i remember him. he was bit hardcore
result would be pretty much the same even if he used something else.
try doing combination of dampening mat and ensolite from raammat.

Rammaudio is located out in st. helens. Maybe we can get on a couple rolls and some ensolite and one of us drive out there to save on shipping costs?


Chris, how does next monday sound to you? around your lunch time if that works best for you.

 

So those of you that were at the last meet may have heard me talking about a car show the show team im in is gonna be hosting soon.

Well today we got two really big sponsors...ill keep you guys posted on when i finalize everything flyer wise, but its gonna be the 26th of July, out in Hillsboro.

Ill keep you guys posted.

 

I'm going to buy some of that stuff from RAAMaudio, put the sound deadening in my Prelude

 

Anybody up for anything this weekend? I'm driving up there on Friday after work and will be in town Saturday by noon.

 

^ better be indoors...rain all weekend

 

Well if all of us went in together on some raammat and picked up in St. Helens we could try and convince them to give us a good deal since it's such a bulk purchase... what do you all think? We'd need serious people with cash in hand but we could probably get alot of mat and some ensolite for a good deal.

Kyle - yeah monday works for me, I usually head to lunch at 11:15, does that work for you?

 

i would wanna get some sound deadening.. but i dont need 100 feet of it.. i just need to 20 or so.. no clue on how much that would be

 

i already ordered mine two days ago
shipping was only $14.


maybe i can buy some ensolite if group pricing is offered

 

I don't need all that much since the Prelude itself isn't very big. The trunk is already done, I'd be doing just the floor and doors

 

chris- i went to your site and noticed that when it comes out the links for the cars go away.. err atleast you cant click on them.. did i miss a change on the site?

 

JDMLove right? and what cars? the flickr box?

 

ok well it makes it harder to get a group buy when everyone wants like a sliver of a roll lol.

 

yes jdmlove.. and where is says honda,mitsubishi,toyota, blah blah blah at the top of the webpage i get a shaded black area where i can still see the link but i cant click them,, if that makes sense

 

Yeah that's what I plan on doing, probably going to go to the movies on Saturday and maybe hit some of the bars.

 

Chris, that works for me. I'll pm you my number. If your headed out for lunch, can you stop by mine and well exchange?


Also im in for a roll plus alot of ensolite. Maybe i can find few more people to get in.

 

Hmm I can't seem to repro that problem, what browser are you using?

Kyle - Sounds good to me, monday around 11:15 good for you?

 

what up grants pass? I like your statues of kids

 

Those statues are creepy

 

LOL yeah dude I floored it outta that town.

What up from eugene?!?!?

 

Eugene owns, went to college down there for a while, sold Honda's and Acura's down there for a while. That town is awesome.

 

rain's pouring down right now

 

Yeah, I have a few stories about Grants Pass.. i might have to share them with the rest of the class here sometime

 

Haha I've never stopped in that town, I'll have to check it out.

 

Haha at the BBQ!!!

Whoever wants to come to the blue moon in mac tonight I'll get the first drink!!
