WELL! don't trash someone elses sport just because you don't like it. 
Either's really a pain with fwd, but personally I think circuit racing is worse. There's not much you can do when more than 60% of your weight is on the front tires.
Anyway, I'm still hoping to get out to the new Dallas Raceway before the heat really builds.

You guys would steer clear of the circuit? Why?! I know FWD cars aren't exactly spectacular, but then again, we still have a car engineered by Honda folks. And last I checked, Honda engineers have developed the best FWD track cars.

Well Tl's have some off throttle oversteer =D. hahd I know the third gen had that implemented to it. I like circuit racing I used to go on spirited runs and autocrosses with the old accord. Aint nothing like 8000 RPM all day haha but proper suspension, alignment, and tire setup will make it a lot more enjoyable. The only time I had a push issue was when I came into some sort of hairpin but it was really controllable. The third gen TL aint too bad...I just dont like the dull steering feedback. My old accord had no PS so I could feel what was going on. I cant comment on 2nd gen TL's since I did not push them lol I just drove them around from lot to lot to test for issues.

During a Toy Run last year, I went with a bunch of exotics on those old backroads by South Fork Ranch. Needless to say, while pushing the TL through some of those bends, I did feel the back end really start to get away from me a few times. Very fun drive, though.

Yep and I find that impresssive haha the only car that I know had that option were the FWD R cars and the usdm gsr integras. But anyway Cars and coffee this weekend and most likely a track day (depending on weather) at dallas raceway up in crandall. Definitely will be at both depending on weather. Hopefully it holds out.

Hey guys, I need the help of my comrades. Can someone thats done it before help me roll my fenders? I got a set of wheels about a month back and they rub on bad bumps. Already starting to see a line in the tires where they've been hitting.

Sooo... I've been to 6 tire shops and 8 or 9 body shops. 4 of the body shops said they could do it but they'd charge over a thousand bucks since it would cause the paint to crack and they'd have to repaint.
There's a website, www.rollyourfender.com that rents out fender rollers that mount to your hub, and he's local (can meet at 635/macarthur). $50 rental fee and $250 deposit (he may waive the deposit for locals). Keep it for 5 days. Anyone used this before?
I'm definitely going to get this done, does anyone else want in on it? We can get together and roll everyone's fenders together
Guinea pigs to go first?

Well, could you talk to your friend and see how much he'd want to charge? If he's used it before, would he be willing to help me out so it doesn't turn into a grand fuckup?

Nice meeting you Fade and seeing you again Silver.
Disgruntled: He knows how to use it its just that if your paint chips in anyway he wont take responsibility for it. But since it doesnt seem like you are going for an aggressive roll shouldnt be much but I will see.
