Reserved Parking
There should be reserved parking at the restaurant. I've been told that we can take up the AREA on the right side of their building. We'll have to park parallel along side one another to try and fit as many people as possible. If there's no parking at the restaurant...I was told that we could take parking across the street.
We'll see you all there tomorrow! Reservation is made for 40 plus or minus 10 people. Don't disappoint!

Hey guys, I don't post much around here, but it was nice to meet those of you who came out to the meet today. I've not been part of an Acurazine meet previously, and it was fun to meet a few of you. Thanks to Erick for organizing.
I snapped a few photos while hanging around with you guys today, and though I don't have great photography skills, I thought you might want to see them, and maybe snatch a copy if I got a pic of your ride.
Cheers from jsilas (the tall dude on the blue R1).

Probably my fave, for obvious reasons

Great pics! It was a good time and nice meeting many of you guys. I have to say it was a great day and a way to show up the spot with some beautiful Acura's. Job well done and great job Erick for gathering the gang.

Haven't had a chance to use Adobe Lightroom 2 on any of these yet but thought I'd at least post'em up. Good seeing all you guys for the first time. Good peeps for sure. My son loved it too. He actually snapped some of these lol.
I got way more but f&(k just posting these made me tired lol. Planning on doing some touchup to a lot of these and once I figure out how to use Adobe LightRoom2

Play Day Photos.
First off thanks to Erik and all those involved for putting this together. We had a great turnout and only succeed in pissing off one driver on the freeway. ;o) I must say it must have been pretty intimidating for some to be 'swarmed' by a plethora of Acura's coming from every direction.
Conveyor belt Sushi is better then I thought...
All but three of these photos are of Umbrella's NSX. I figured there were enough people taking 'general' photo's of everything else.
Hopefully we can set up another meet with shooting photo's being the main event. Looking forward to that one.

Ps.
Thanks to jsilis for holding up traffic and letting us all get out of Sushi Maru as a group. It made getting to the park in a group much easier and cut down on the wait time for everyone to arrive.
Props.
Props.

A few advices I'll give if you guys are planning for a better meet.
1. clear directions and the routes we taking.
2. designated leaders for the group, if it's getting too big, you probably need to break it up. preferably walkie talkie, cellphone between the leaders.
3. couple designated guys who doesn't mind to drive fast staying in the very last. In case someone got lost or got held off by traffic/ red lights. etc.
4. Leader and the first 2-3 cars at the group need to drive a little different due to the accordian effect. ie, accelerate or take off a little fast, once you get up to speed, you slow down, as so, slower, milder drivers are welcome to join to the front of the group. Aggressive driver will have fun playing catch up and using the brakes at the end of the groups.
5. if groups got broken up, you find a good spot to slow down, or even wait on the side of the road. Leaders probably have to spend most of his time, or preferably a passenger to spot their group to prevent losing someone.

#6. TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON!!
It's way easier in daytime meets to recognize cars from your group weather you're in front or behind if everyone has their lights on.

I agree. But instead of having 1 leader, we need 2. One in the very back, and one up in the front. If the group is too BIG, split into 2 different groups and to have walkie talkies. and we need atleast 4 of them.
So, next meet what do you guys think, Cruise to Mt. Rainer, Mt. Baker, Ferry trip to whidbey island, bainbridge island or bremerton? or maybe another meet at Acura Of Lynnwood/ Acura of Bellevue? maybe a BBQ at McCullon Park in Everett? Since that park is so big haha

True, nsx's are rare and much easier to pick out from other cars. But when you get to far behind or your looking in your rear view mirror for someone when your way ahead, lights on in the day light make spotting at a glance way simpler.

Whenever you guys plan a meet i'd be down, I went to one a few years ago but it was very unorganized and not too many people showed up. Any dates in mind?? I think meeting at a park to BBQ is a great idea... I'll bring some good eats!

Flip side, I finally put my Ksports on. What a BIATCH having no air tools! Will post up some pics soon. No more wheel gap for me and these Racing Harts just look 100% better and not that they looked bad before.
Anyone wanting Comptech lowering springs just let me know. Will be posting them up in the BM after my son's baseball pictures. These aren't the dreaded black ones. They are the silver and not sure what the drop is. You can see how they faired with my 19's on the car. After taking them off and realizing I didn't need a spring compressor to separate them from the shocks, they probably would've made the ride even lower with the proper shock setup.
