So those of you that have lived in Charlotte a long time what do you know about the north west part of Charlotte. Basically west of 77 and south of 485. Is this a known bad area to be in? I am doing some digging and finding some crime related info that is not making me feel the greatest.

FYI, I sent you a couple of PMs. What you're finding/feeling is likely pretty accurate... but if you're near the course we talked about, it's much better there...

^Nevermind, I see where you're talking about. I'm not super familiar with that area, but I do know it's being revitalized by so much new construction. I've never known it as a "bad" area.

Thanks Denis and Evan. Defintiely feel a bit better about it.

Yeah they are still finishing building the neighborhood out and the two houses being built right now are listed for a good bit more than my accepted offer I made.

Mostly worried about my cars attracting the wrong kind of attention possibly in the area.

Not sure what area your talking about Jason. But its good to research things like that before purchasing a home. Im renting a house for the moment so I can leave anytime I want. Also this sheriff moved in across the street from me and brings his patrol car home sometimes, so I don't think anyone will be coming around here messing around.

I'm confused as well. Maybe he's talking about the one in Cornelius that just started up?

The Victory Lane event is the 3rd Saturday of every month... so that is not until next weekend (5/17)...

and thanks Max. We are having a nice honeymoon in Hawaii.


Finally found where to go to find jdm parts on Oahu. Revision car audio. Bought some 25mm FIC wheel spacers. Didn't even know about the brand until today. Had plenty in stock. Bought some led reverse lights too.

Thanks Max! I need to rebuild my bank accounts and then I can focus on the TL. Some mechanical stuff needs to be taken care of before new mods, but I'm hoping to have everything done by the end of the year

I almost went. Morgan drove down to meet some other AZ members and stopped by Charlotte on Thursday. I could have gone but decided to work some overtime hours.

Looking good, Bryan!

JB, congrats once again on the 996! Sadly, I'll be in the Raleigh area attending a wedding during next month's C&C

Jason, any interest in the Lexus RCF? I'm planning on stealing one from the dealership to bring to C&C whenever it's debuted.

I have an 03 TL-S and I am at 149,500 miles and was needing to know if a B&M Transmission and TCI would be a good investment to get rid of my worries of future tranny problems (if I have them)

Seriously?!? Is this a question. I absolutely have interest in the RCF! I want to test drive one as soon as one comes in even though I unfortunately won't be in line to probably by one till they are starting to come off of lease the first go around. You better let me drive it when you bring it!

Did find some news out about the IS-F though and some new things coming together to get some more power out of it. They probably won't be ready till later this year to be released but it is exciting.

Looking at headers and there is possibly a reflash coming soon. Unfortunately with the house purchase they probably wouldn't be till next year and then I would have to decide between modding the F or the TSX at that point. If I would do both those on the F I should be looking at between 425-450whp.

The beast should pass 117k this afternoon actually.

Have you had any tranny issues? If not, I wouldn't do anything until you actually have a problem.
