Referring to the one near Manana, mainly. The clubs over there have gone to shit.

Guess we can always do the one at the mall?

Honestly, just throw up a time & place, doesn't matter to me. Can be tomorrow if someone wants.

I just want to hang with my AZ buddies, like I said. If we can't decide on something, I'll just wait til' next week or something. Then we can hit up the Londoner.

Thanks Guys!!

Rick - It would have been difficult for you to take pics since we were on a gondola in the Canal in Las Colinas. Luckily the gondolier took some pics for us with Ambreen's camera.

It's been 2 weeks now since I got my car running again. Wasn't sure how it would all turn out seeing all the problems I had and with some of the other changes and so far :xfingers it all seems good.

Not sure if it's as fast as it's ever been, but on 2 occasions I managed to chirp the tires going in to 3rd . . on one it was over a slight rise so I suspect the tires unloaded a bit, but I've hit that spot before and it never did it. On the other I was going in a slight curve, but again it's never done it before.

As soon as I get the brake line issue resolved I want to hit the track and see what it'll do. All in all, it's great to drive it again after 3 months of being down.

BTW don't buy anything from Apexlimit.com should you or someone you know are considering it. They have poor quality control, bad design specs and terrible problem resolution skills.

Oh, I need to post some pics of my hoist I built to lift the tranny so I could reinstall it. It worked way better than the tranny jack I rented the last time.

Apexlimit either sent the wrong lines or they were made to the wrong specifications. The angles are off on the rear banjo fitting and both front and rear lines are too long.

Really...Well Look on your stock setup they are bent a certain way lol. You gotta bend it the right way or it will not work. I might be able to stop by some time if you need another eye to look at it.

Yeah, the rear have a bent banjo fitting, but the ones from Apexlimit were not bent correctly and wouldn't fit without putting too much of a bend in the line. They sent a 2nd set and it was still off a hair, but I got it to work. However the lines are 2.5" longer than the OEM lines and still had more bend than they should and I figure they won't last as long. The front's were too long and rubbed against the spindle and the ABS sensor mounting bolt, and that's not good either. I sent them pictures of the OEM lines next to the lines they sent me, but they are all screwed up. They kept saying I was trying to install 27" lines ment for the Prelude, but none of the lines measured 27", so they sent the wrong lines for the Prelude as well. They're clueless in Toronto.
