Alex did you ever see this accord I posted a few months ago?

I did sir and I kept on scrolling cuz my pockets are not that deep haha

I'd love to give my beast a drop and wheels...maybe in a few months or a year. The wedding is draining my bank account

ACCURATEin

haha. I was browsing through my flickr and came across it so I thought I would post it again. Looks amazing. Thanks for letting me smell your new car smell earlier.

chill_dog

Alex, the Accord is looking good. And wheels and suspension shouldn't be an issue...just ditch that book that was in the back seat. There's a place downtown called the courthouse...show up, pay for the license, get married. Out for less than $100.

We had fun meeting everyone last night!

Definitely gotta do some type of photo shoot eventually.

CCColtsicehockey

Definitely good seeing everyone last night. It definitely was coming down really hard the entire way home for me. The only good thing about that is it never lets your car get dirty it is coming down so hard.

Got up early this morning to watch the Singapore F1 race. Was not really a contest though.

Leftover parts thread up...prices slightly revised from earlier.

Jack, did you have any issues with your 3rd brake light? Supposedly mine doesn't work sometimes and I'm trying to see if it's the actual light or if it's some wiring.

Haha Jack I wish I could do that! Too bad Victoria has other ideas

Damn I want those wheels ^^^^^ lol

Btw I'm thinking the Panthers might win a game!

Your car looks sick man.. Yeah I think I'm leaning towards the 19x8.5 with 35 offset just so I don't have to worry about stretching tires and camber.. I'm only lowered on tein s techs springs like 1.6 maybe... Yeah I've been looking up tire prices and eBay seems to have some good prices

I think I am going to accept an offer from Dish Network in Denver, CO today. Better pay, benefits, stature, and more professional than where I'm currently at.

2 things though:

1. I'd be travelling to the Philippines nearly 2 weeks a month
2. My current employer is working on another salary/promotion to try and keep me here

So much to consider ...

chill_dog

Yes. I was able to determine it wasn't the light or fuses, so that left either the connector or the entire wiring harness. Everything else on that harness worked fine, though. I never hardwired it to test that theory, either.


Denver = closer to climbing . Good luck with whichever route you go!!

CCColtsicehockey

Denver definitely closer to climbing. You would need to sell that new car already and get something 4WD already.

Will be interesting to see what your current employer does since won't this be the second or third time they are in this situation. If they really find you so important to keep you should almost really make them over match the other company if you are going to continuously be able to find such better opportunities.

godfather2

^ i've been rather fortunate in that regard. i really just want to be in the mountains so i can climb outdoors more frequently. then again, spending 50% of my time abroad reduces that as well.

and yes, i'm looking into awd vehicles again just to be safe. i'm SOOOO GLAD i got employee pricing on the camry so hopefully i really don't take a hit

i'm hoping to hear the offer from my current employer by tomorrow ...

CCColtsicehockey

Not sure I am feeling the almost full 1in raise in body height it took to fit these wheels with more meaty tires on them. Yes they are crappy cellphone pictures I took at work today.

New Height:




Old Height:

CCColtsicehockey

Is there any climbing you could do while traveling though that you might be able to lump into your work travel by managing to stay a couple extra days once and a while and do some climbing out of the country?

chill_dog

I prefer the new height.

CCColtsicehockey

Well I knew that was coming


I love the fitment in the rear. I think the front still needs to be dialed in. That being said I think I either need to preload the sytem more or get stiffer coils cause I went around a local road that has extreme twists back to back and you can't even exceed 40mph really and I was still rubbing at that height so not sure it is fully track ready yet. Although the track wheels are actually a tiny bit smaller.

godfather2

not really

i'm leaning towards denver, but i hope my current employer makes it super tough to leave!

CCColtsicehockey

Tell them you want 8 first class trips to Colorado a year to climb

chill_dog

^ seems reasonable to me...on top of big fat raise!!

godfather2

ha, you guys are ridiculous! let's see what happens today ...

CCColtsicehockey

Wish the UNCC meet was still going on. Would love to take the car out to something since I am going to miss cars and coffee this coming month.

The ride height of the TSX looks fine but the wheel color doesn't flow with the rest of the car

97CL_NC1102

You're in luck the UNCC meet will be happening tonight but anyone that wants to go has to fill this form out online...it makes it easier for the guys who run it to keep track of the wise asses who destroy meets or break the rules. Fill this out 2 hours before the meet and its good for the rest of the year.

97CL_NC1102

7PM - 10PM...no one gets in after 10

ACCURATEin

Jason tell your woman thanks for going out of town.

It has clearly resulted in you being able to come out and drink and also your whip is rolling on a new fresh look.





If anyone else goes to the meet I might go.

CCColtsicehockey

CCColtsicehockey

I just filled out the form. Guess it is too late.

97CL_NC1102

You should be good to go just when you come or if you come, just let them know when you did it. They'll have some form of sign in thing.

ACCURATEin

I just filled out the form.

Whether I am going is still pending haha.



Whom all is going?!

ACCURATEin

Jeremy is heading down to pick up his instructor. That's his Porsche.

omg

TheJosey

I hate I wasn't able to come out and meet everybody...work got in the way. I work weird hours and it's not really consistent. Hopefully next time I can get out and meet you guys/gals.

CCColtsicehockey

Looks like an awesome time. I am hoping to be doing the same think next year. Thinking I might need to add something to the TSX first.

97CL_NC1102

Awesome shots eric
