So to ease my mom's mind, I've decided to hold a meet at my house. Probably get my brother to make some salmon and stuff and we can just chill. When's everyone free...I still have to talk to my mom about it though...

Shaun/Nelson - The fair closed at 10, so I wasn't able to get you guys a flag. I am going again next week on Sunday, so if they have any left I can get it then.

If you know where the trains are, it's in the automotive building next to them, next to the entrance by the trains.
The booth will be near AM820, a few other vendors' booths & near Subaru/Scion's area.

Ethan, here's the RL I was referring to earlier.

I remember that car. Honda used that as a PR car at a few autoshows when the RL first came out. Honda has the ability I do not know why they do not.

Probably because it's done by Mugen who already charge buttloads out the ass for their parts.

A Mugen spec'd Si already ran $7K more than mine....

I was at the Fair last weekend and I could not find a flag anywhere. I asked around at all the venders and they said they do not carry Acura flags. Where at the fair are they?

I was up in your guy's neck of the woods on Saturday. I was at the Ft. Worth Convention Center for a tourney.. celebrated and drank some of the bruises away at Texas de Brazil. I parked in paid parking lot next to the restaurant and saw two GT-R35's parked there (black & gray).

Finished dinner after all the TexasTech traffic cleared and took off back to Austin in the evening. Got home and noticed the fucktard who parked his van next to me dinged my fender real good, even scratched the paint

I wish I would have noticed before I left the lot.

LOL.

I can't find it now, but their online shop compared to McDavid's used to look like they were already on discount; that's just how much lower they were.

Looks like more unexpected mods for poor little old me. Got the front tires balanced at Discount Tires and then took it over to Frisco Automotive for a front end alignment and bam! Couldn't get the front or rear to align. I'll need adjustable upper ball joints for the front and adjustable control arms for the rear. Here's what I'm looking at getting.

SPC Adjustable Ball Joints

SPC Adjustable Control Arm
http://www.spcalignment.com/PROD_DIR...d2=67090&cmd3=

Oh, it wasn't all bad . . . I did get a nice little pick me upper at Discount Tire . .

Nothing crazy Rick, just change the head unit....put a sub in the floorboard on the passenger side. Then change out the speakers on the dash. Maybe add some tweets. Theres not much you can put in that car, without making it stupid.....Im not trying to add a bunch of weight.

I know that. But when you said Branded Customs, I thought, "Has Ethan been talking to Jared from RKC?"

J/k.
