Very good. I don't recall how far away that meet is but I don't think it was over 3hrs so that's not all that bad really. Looking forward to it.
And in regards to the Oct 1st meet, I haven't heard from my parents about my need to head back home as I had been assuming, so who knows, I may get to attend that meet too!

The TL produced high levels of downforce on multiple occasions over the weekend. It gets really smooth around 110. It's a unique feeling.

The ISO guys are under the impression that the Jordan lake meet will be impressive.

Living the Dream
Charlotte Area Detailers?
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a detailer in the area (Charlotte, Concord, Salisbury, Winston-Salem).
<---- As you can see, I am out of the country. However, my cars are not.
My wife does okay to keep them relatively clean (touchless car wash) but that does not get everything. The house we have moved to has no garage and lots of trees (= bird shit and sap).
All I'm looking for a good wash and wax such that the touchless will get most of the shit off. Any paint correction will wait until I return in December.
Thanks for any help.

I personally had a great time. My supercharger and engine had an even better time. They were tired of sitting in the garage stagnant and being lame. The engine in particular was very thankful for the greddy intercooler that was installed a few years ago that provided it with the ability to inhale a lower air temperature, thus producing an elevated amount of horsepowerz. The yokohamas also enjoyed a good share of comfort as they were able to travel around 250 miles on wet pavement as opposed to dry, thus providing an extra bout of longevity to their lifespan.

Change simply for the sake of change is reckless. The change should look better than stock; those do not. The one on the No Limit car would be good IF it was a bumper and not an overgrown lip AND IF it didn't have those CF vents on the side.

Thanks! I'm pretty garage savvy but I'm used to Toyotas. I was just recently rear-ended in my IS and opted to get back into a Honda/Acura after.
Do any of you guys help members with coilovers and/or fender rolling or could you point me in the right direction? Just looking for some help locally. Thanks!!

By help locally do you mean help from just members or just help in general (i.e. shops or members)? I can't speak for members, but shop-wise i'd go to Speedstyles for coils and Eurowise for fender rolling. Speedstyles is around $300-$350 for coil installs, and Eurowise charges $60 per corner for rolling fenders...or something very close to that.

If you are free you should come join in on the fun for the October 1st meet I am organizing for the Southeast are. We have a good amount of cars coming so far. If you are interested check the link in my signature for more info.I can do do coilover installs on the TL. I did john_wraps coilovers a few weeks ago. For fender rolling look up a shop called Euro-wise that would be the best place to go to get your fenders done.
