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.

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.

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.

i have 19x9.5 +22 and it poke in the front and the back sit pretty flush. i had to run 235/35/19 and it a decent strech on the wheels. you will have to roll the rear fender and maybe camber depending how low you go.
kinda give you a persective, i don't have any super jdm stance hella flush type pictures to help you. also my wheels are for sale, if your intrested tommy. also if your gonna go 19" be prepared to pay for the tires, they are not cheap.

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 ...

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.

^ 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 ...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
