So this guy came in... on all the days I had my camera with me!













Real Nice guy, Ben. Says he is here on Azine... Seen the car over in Ballentine a bunch. Finally got a chance to catch up. Car was clean for a daily driver...

 

That's DLntheCL's car. I love it so much. I told Ben don't ever get rid of it.

 

God I love that CL

 

I never see his car! I do think I saw Eric Tuesday night though

 

He went into Southern Spirits for a bottle and then waved him over and met him finally.

Car is gorgeous up close. Kinda want his wheels...

 

Finally broke down and bought a DSLR camera. I got the Canon T3i and also picked up a EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III lens. Cant wait for tomorrow

 

Congrats Bryan

You should have gone with Nikon like the rest of us

 

Im a rebel!

 

You mean to tell me your photos are gonna be even better?! Hell yes.

Tomorrow should be cool.

 

If anyone that has any 10mm spacers they want to sell, my buddy with a is250 is in town and ready to buy immediately.

 

Hmmm.... sounds familiar....

 

i have a pair, i can bring them today, $30

 

I love Bens CL, I can look at it all day.


So I'm taking the family to the beach for the weekend.


And we have been taking my girls car to places instead of the TL. And yes I jam all my kids in the slammed TL haha.


Have fun at the meet and take lots of pictures please and have a safe weekend everyone.

Alright ladies, I am at work. Please get great photo coverage so I can see some of the cars I am missing!

alumalite is what i used and ive seen other people use as well for splitters, air dams etc

is a front air splitter in the work for eric? i wonder how much a sheet of that aluminum composite is.

where the picture from eurowise, couldn't make it with my brother in town.

 

no we were discussing what i used for mine and where i got it. i cant remember the price i payed. over a year of daily driving and scraping over speed bumps its held up well, no chipping or cracking.

 

Understand, was it easy to cut? Like can some tin snip cut it easy or do I need air sheers to cut it up. Wanted to make a custom rear diffuser for the tl one day.

 

yes very easy to cut. i used a handheld cut off saw then went over the edge with a file. its too thick of tin snips, anything with a rotary grinding wheel would work. air sheers might work

 

Hey everyone. I'm Jordan. Moved down here from Raleigh two months ago for work.

 

Jordan. Share a picture of your car with us!

 

Welcome Jordan! I don't drive an "Acura" per se, but I hang out with most of these folks.

 

Serious talk, opinions on coil overs...

I am ordering Camber kits before hand so I have those parts ready to install when I install the coilovers to avoid burning through tires.

I am torn between Megan's for adjustability and because Tyler swears by them, but the Tein's for price and the fact that everyone and their mother loves them...

I've heard good things about both. Just trying to decide for the sake of the $300 price difference.

Thoughts?

 

If you want to go low then you need something like the Megan's that is independently height adjustable from the spring perch. Also by low I mean anything more than like 1.25in drop which I believe is the recommended drop on both the basics and the ss TEIN models. You have to get into the Flex models at least in the past to get independent height adjustable TEINs

 

How many times do I have to tell you this?

If you just want a mild drop, get the TEINs. Like Jason said, if you want more than about a 1.5" drop, go with the Megans. They go insanely low and still offer damping adjustment. The only downside is that they cannot be rebuilt if they go out.

 

Function Form Type 2's are the way to go...had the type 1's on the CL and loved them. Could slam the car and still rode like stock

 

Those for 3G TLs are horrible. I've heard nothing but bad things.

 

That's what I have. Only changed out the shock tube on one of them since I had them.

 

I know a lot of bad stuff from the subie side on BC Racing but they are another option I believe. I have them on the F and have had them for around 70k miles now and they have been rock solid. They can't be rebuilt in the sense like TEIN but you can replace the entire center cartridge with a new one for only about $140 I believe so it is like replacing a regular strut in my opinion. When I get to 150k which will be about 100k miles on them I might need to do that.

 

Your right, they can slam but on hard bumps they can be pretty harsh.

 

Yeah no BC racing for me, too many issues. Meagan Racing will be my direction

 

Bryan, earlier at lunch I was eating with my niece's cousin whom is from las vegas and she says 'this is what my boyfriend wants to make his car look like'...and shows me a photo that you took of your civic. I was like oh shit that's my friend's old car!

 

I've got 190,000 miles on my tein super streets.

 

Oh snap...FAMOUS!

 

I am pretty sure you are due for some new coils. That probably doesn't ride anywhere near as good as it used too. Heck with only about 70k on mine they feel bouncier than when I got them.

 

Yeah it bounces a lot.

 

That means it is definitely time for some new coils. Might be why you are hitting a lot of stuff with the front end too lately.
