I didn't look at all of the pics (not looking through 14 pages looking for more pics), but it looks like a big meet. Those Honda guys didn't seem to take any pics of the Acuras (save Integra's) . I saw some strange, too .

i'll be in nyc this friday so i won't be able to make that dyno meet. i'd want my new goodies installed prior to anyway. moreover, the tsx went back to the shop this morning so who knows when i'll get it back (hopefully you guys are as sick of hearing about this as i have been about going through with it)

That's about all I've got. :lol:


mmade22's car sits SICK on with those Koni's. Sounds like TrevorT has something cool going with his wheels too.

Clearly they still value you...and I'm sure they value your opinion. It's simply a matter of saying "it's not working for me, but I know a guy who would be a perfect replacement...". That also helps smooth over any hurt feelings on their side for you just up and leaving.

That said, since you don't have anything to do, I need the following done: mop floors, wash car, cut grass. Chop, chop.

that's right kris, but this has been brewing for a few months now. the ceo has known full well my feelings on our discrepancies and he has not moved forward to rectify the circumstances at hand. i was being played a fool for too long and i simply had enough today

Sounds great man. Breaking traction on the front just a little bit easier too. I think there is a little a power bump.

What about you? You've been quite. Working on D's IS? Saw your car in pics from HIN (MD, I think); looking good.
