Hello to Utah AZiners... down in Utah County. Enjoying the snow for the last few days... with the TSX in the garage. Driving the GMC 4x4...

Have the stock Michelins on now, as only 14K on car, but will put General Tire Altimax Artics on the stock rims when the Michelins are worn... know they are soft, but my favorite past snow tires were the Gislaved Nordfrost, and believe this is the Nordfrost 4.

New RonJon 19" rims - planning on summer Michelin Pilot Super Sport for non-winter driving.

 

Posted this in the wrong place earlier but,
Im pretty sure i've run into a bunch of you guys at meets around Utah, i just got rid of my baby 2008 G37S and got an 09 TL. Looking forward to getting it modded and seeing you guys around!

 

nice ride. the newer body styles are growing on me. you are not to far away from me either i live in roy.

any pics of the car?

 

I havent even taken any pics yet its all salty and dirty from all this snow. I will though. See you around

 

Very cool to see more TL's closer to me......used to having everyone be down south.

And very nice on the new car, I do agree the newer body styles are growing on me as well. Can't wait for pics!

 

Keep this thread alive. Anyone have any plans for there car as far as mods?

 

No mods here, have to re-do my plastidip though......had 2 nails in my front tires and the guys at discount tore it all up even after telling them to be a little careful with them.

Maybe a good cleaning inside, and quick rinse.....hate winter lol.

 

no summer mods paul? i went to discount yesterday and asked for a balance and rotation and they said they couldn't do it and wanted to sell me new tires. It was the one in roy on 1900 w

 

Hey Guys wanted to introduce my self I live out in SLC area, just picked up a 08' WDP TL-S looking forward to learn more about this car and some summer meets. I came from a lexus GS430 sold that and got this.

 

nice pick up utah801. WDP is a beautiful color. do you have any pictures? Did you purchase at an acura dealer?

 

Thanks man, no i picked this up at a smaller dealer.

Im in Pleasant Grove Ut. If there is any of you who get together ever hit me up! I have an 07 TL. Wanting to find others who are in the same boat as me.

 

Might do pressure switches here soon, have been wanting to do them for awhile but need to wait for some decent weather since im limited to my driveway. Other then that maybe drop it but not sure if that will be anytime soon.

Glad to see this thread so lively... I feel like I already know some of the new members Anyways I'm just checking in to tell you guys about this meet that's happening in April, it's the biggest meet of the year we have here in UT. Utahhondas used to put on their annual spring meet, but this year they have changed it up, and made it a open invite for ALL cars, I hope to see some of you there. Make sure you come say hi, I have the white LS and orange wheelchair (kinda hard to miss lol)



Since the founding of UtahHondas.net in 2007, we have held our annual Spring Meet each year. After 6 events and nearly doubling in size each year, we realized last year that it was time for a change. Our event had grown into something that we could no longer control in its current format. Last year's event drew nearly 400 cars; over half of which were NOT Hondas or Acuras. The parking lot was full even before the event's official start time. This lead to Kaysville City shutting down the event early due to the huge turnout and high volume of traffic without any prior notice. We knew it was time for a major change this year.

We are proud to announce and introduce the Import Spring Showoff, an evolution of our Annual Spring Meet. An entirely new event that is catered towards ALL makes and models. Not just Hondas. Our goal for this event was to make it more than a meet but less than a show. We want to blend meet and show aspects into one event that caters to all import enthusiasts no matter what their budget is. That means a New Venue, New Date, and a whole New Event.

Where: Davis County Fairgrounds.
151 South 1100 West
Farmington, Utah 84025

When: Sunday, April 28th

Who: Anyone. We welcome all vehicles no matter the Make and Model.

We are very happy to say we were able to reserve the Davis County Fairgrounds for this event. Their large parking lot will hold upwards of 400 cars. Nearly doubling the capacity of previous years' events parking lots. The fairgrounds are fairly easy to get to with quick access from the freeway and located next to the New Farmington Station Park Shopping and Dining Complex.

However, with moving to a larger and private Venue, we are now faced with expenses that we've never had before. Despite having a much larger parking lot we still expect it to fill to capacity. To help with this we will be offering 2 parking options within the same lot.

Parking: General Admission Parking is Free
Preferred Parking Costs $10

We wanted to keep this event free for anyone that didn't want to pay extra so that option will still be available. Preferred Parking though will give some additional benefits that will not be made Available to General Admission Parking. Those perks include:

-The Best Parking in the Lot
-Guaranteed Parking so even if the lot reaches capacity before you arrive you will still have a spot saved for you.
-A Free Raffle Ticket
-Eligible For People's Choice Awards

Preferred Parking really is the best option to have at this event. However we will only have 150 spots available for Preferred Parking so Preregister As Soon As Possible to secure your spot. Any vehicle will be allowed to register for Preferred Parking. Preregistration will close 14 days prior to the event (April 14th). Preferred Parking WILL NOT be offered day of. Preregistration only. No Refunds will be given for any reason.

Awards will be given based 100% on public opinion. There are no Judges. Anyone in attendance will be allowed to vote for their favorite vehicles in the Preferred Parking section. Awards will be given to all makes so long as there are a minimum of 5 vehicles of that make in Preferred Parking.

Since this event will now be a Private Event we are working on getting a DJ for the event as well as a couple of food carts/trucks.

Sponsorship Opportunities: $50 plus donation to the Raffle.

Sponsor and Vendor Spots are available to ANY reputable company that wants to participate. Sponsor Cost is $50 and a donation to the raffle. As a sponsor you will be provided an area where you can set up a booth at the event, allow you to bring 2 cars as part of your display (with preferred parking perks), and your logo will be featured on all promotional material and mentioned frequently during the event. For more info Email us at UtahHondas@gmail.com.

Thank you to our great community that continues to support our event year after year. We hope to make this event a big one and anticipate its growth in the following years. The Fairgrounds in Farmington is a venue with high potential for future growth. The large green areas and planned parking expansions over the next year will give us even more room in the future. However, we can't do it without you! The quicker people Preregister, the more perks and offerings we'll be able to offer at the event.

We hope you're excited for the event as we are. now, how do you go about Preregistering? We will be taking payment via Paypal and it will be on a first come first serve basis. Once 150 vehicles have Preregistered then Preferred Parking will no longer be available. So register soon to secure your spot!

Preregistration Details:

-Cost: $10 for Preferred Parking
-Paypal: UtahHondas@gmail.com (Please send the Money as a gift)
-Registration is Open

I just meant discount should take care of their customers. I will continue to go there though.

This meet should be pretty huge!!

 

I'm looking at doing vht nightshade on my tail lights, any advice? My TL is white so I think it would look good. Also I am putting white LED lights inside and painting the symbols matte black in the rear and front

 

im not a big fan of the tinted tails look. i had mine tinted but am looking to get the type s taillights instead. It does look good on a white car though.

 

IMO, painting the tail lights will attract too much attention from the authorities, I know a few people who've done that to their car, and they end up getting pulled over all the time.

 

yeah that is true. it's a red alert lol

 

Why would tailights be at risk for being pulled over? I can see why tinting windows would.

 

back windows have no limit. mine are 5%. only the front windows have a limit. tail lights that are tinted create a possible hazard to others so police can give oyu a ticket. plus, they dont look all that great either imo.

 

It's one of those law that requires your tail light to be red, and when you tint them, it makes to more noticeable to cops to pull you over, not to mention your car wont pass safety unless you know someone.

But if you're still wanting to do them, I'd suggest getting them tinted vs painted, because at least with a tint, you can always pull them off.

 

/\/\/\
agreed, i believe they have overlays you can purchase or go to a tint shop and ask how much they will charge to tint the tails.

 

Hello all, I'm just noting that it's a gorgeous day today! Kinda wishing I had a meet/cruise to go to. Just a thought, I'm in SLC. Also, I will be attending Import Spring Showoff. I purchased a spot. I'll be in my grey CL-S.

 

welcome sir! what have you done to with the CL?

 

Just breather mods; AEM CAI, CT headers, resonator delete, P2R TB spacer and thermal gaskets on intake mani, also p&p intake mani w/ butterfly delete. I did before and after dyno with Comptech headers.

 

awesome

 

Utah aziners, need some help with suspension work. anyone would like to help me? I prolly need to replace lower ball joints and probably struts. i haven't looked much into how much they cost, but with a '00TL, spending 1000 at stealership is something i wanna avoid. if you work during weekends in your garage and won't mind this project, let me know. We can talk more about how, when and how much later.

 

i signed up on the meet as well. see you guys there! I posted last year asking people to set up a meet, but no luck. i am excited!

 

cheekoo, I would try to attempt this yourself so you know how to do it in the near future. I am sure there is DIY's for the 2nd gen.

Paul, spotted you on Riverdale Rd. My neck kinda hurts haha.

 

hey timsta, yeah i am willing to do it myself n learn.. but having someone with experience next to me will be great.

 

if i was not super buys i would help out

 

busy!**

 

Haha I keep a look out all the time to see if I spot anyone from here, were you turning onto Riverdale road or from it? I remember two different times seeing a TL on Riverdale road and yeah I do the whole break the neck turn to keep checking it out. lol

Hell on the way home from SLC today I was cruising with a WDP....was pretty sweet till the girl driving it prolly thought I was stupid and got over lol. So if anyones girlfriend or wife says a dude in a gold TL was following her.....don't be alarmed.

 

i was already on RR and saw you when you were getting on. Have you tried that travel clean car wash in Layton before?

 

Ahh okay sweet.

Yeah I used to go there all the time when they would let you use the vacuums for free, only had my car detailed by them once though and I just picked the special they were doing it was like $40 or so and they did an amazing job.
