Eric are you using Flickr to post pictures and if so how do you post them so that you only get the one picture and not a slideshow off your whole account?

Damn that car looks good. It has been so neglected in my garage for most of this year.

I didn't take a Pano this time but C&C for July was pretty packed! Less exotics than usual (Ferrari, Lambo, etc), but there were a bunch of Vipers, and of course the Astons and Maseratis were parked up top.

Got to see and hear Jason's Vagon as well. All I can say is.... damn!!

What's up folks?! Just picked up a TL. Had a TSX for the past 4 years. Got rid of it the other day for a TL. Love the TL inside and out. I work in Rock Hill. Always up for a meet if I'm off work.

It's an 08. Had one previous owner before. Has 115k on the clock. I was hoping to get a Type S but the ones I found were either out of my budget or the pain was messed up where I'd need to have panels replaced. I have a base now. Has a small scrape on the lower part of the front bumper. Something like that I didn't mind. Looks like the previous owner scraped the curb from pulling too close to it.

Plans are either Tein Advanced or Tein S-Techs. Right now it's seeming like Tein S-Techs to avoid trying to go for the whole "fitment" thing with wheels. 18x8.5 or x9s. Just want a nice clean ride. From seeing a thread up here "H&R Sport vs Tein S-Tech", the drops are very similar. But the ride is what I'm worried about. Some were saying the H&R Sports were a little stiff. Which is understandable. The S-Techs were more stiff when you went around corners. So I'll probably end up going with the S-Techs. Just don't want to have to go back in there because of a blown strut(s). So that's another reason why I'm considering the full coils. One and done. I'll probably be able to decide after I get wheels(which ever those might be. Lol). I have a blank canvas so I'm trying to figure out the best route to take that doesn't turn this into another project.

Cars & Coffee again this Saturday. Unfortunately I will be missing this one as I'll be at GoPro Motorplex for a race, but I'm sure the turnout will be great, especially if the weather stays on the cooler side (which it's supposed to do through at least Sunday)...

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing what mods you come up with for the TL.

FYI, tonight is the last round of the Bojangles' Summer Shootout at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Championship Battles Breakdown for Tonight's Summer Shootout Finale - LegendsNation.com




After the races they'll have an autograph session with the drivers, plus fireworks. I'll be in the pit area so if you end up going... let me know!!

Thank man. Just pick these up earlier this week:



Has some mismatch tires on them right now. They're XXR 526s. 18x9 +35 offset. Gonna put some 235/40s all around on them. But I won't mount them until I get the suspension set up. I think I'm gonna end up going with the Tein Street Advance Zs. That way I don't have to worry about blown struts and having to go back into the suspension a 2nd time. That's what I'm trying to avoid all together with this car. So I have the wheels. Now need the coils, front lip, and exhaust. Then this car will be done for a while.

Little update on the car.

Next week some time, the car is going in for warranty work. I believe theres an issue with the oil consumption valve and if its bad enough the whole bottom end is gonna get rebuilt. VTC actuator is getting replaced, A pillar moldings, and Takata airbag is getting looked at. Hopefully, they give me a TLX as a loaner.

I agree on definitely missing being at the music factory. You know it would be awesome if we could go back and use the parking deck there. That would be a cool spot.

Yeah, Music Factory was a great spot. Only thing I hate about the new spot is leaving. It takes forever to get back to Billy Graham b/c of that light.

But overall I like the new lot. The setup works nicely. I won't get too attached though... someone will screw everything up within the next few months and it will move again...
