So guys, there hasn't been much talk about the D&B meet, so I wanna make sure everyone who signed up is still coming, and also to hope that people read this that haven't mentioned being able to make it or not.

It's all good. I might tackle the sidemarkers tomorrow, but that just means we can do the tranny flush instead.

Sup fellas, so i just picked up a set of 19" RDX Accessory wheels. It looks like these wheels are dicontinued and dealers are practically giving them away! They retail at $560.00 each. The price i found was to good to pass up, $530 for a full set shipped to my door, brand spankin new! very excited about the purchase!

Anyways, my next move is set of tires. can you guys recommend any place local? I've seen some decent prices at NTB and Discount Tire, but if you guys know of a better place, let me know!

Also, looking to pick up the neuspeed supercup kit in the next few weeks! will need some recommendations on installers as im clueless when it comes to suspension!

Thanks in advance!

I recommend Discount Tire just for their amazing warranty. I believe Ethan has a buddy he can refer you to as well.

^^ any possible hook ups or should i say "special" discounts if i mention your name?? I've called a few DT's around my way and no one has any any 245/35 R19's in stock. they'll need to order them and will have it here in a few days.

a coworker of mine also mentioned that NTB is having a buy 2 get 2 deal. not sure if thats still happening, but will need pay them a visit tonight.

Hey Ethan, got the sidemarkers done. Didn't have a 10mm wrench, so I couldn't replace the o ring on the power steering inlet. So we got that, tranny flush and pedals install for this weekend if possible. I don't have my drill (at the parents house), so hopefully you got one we can use to install the pedals.

Most places won't have that tire on hand. My Nitto's are 235/35/19 and it took 2 days to get in.

So, who here wants to recommend a good battery because my car is now at work dead, even though McDavid replaced the battery just a while ago.

Those Acura Delphi batteries are garbage. I've been running a DG Battery for over a year and it's been great.. I was skeptical at first but the CCA rating was better than Optima's and the warranty was longer as well.. ..plus it was less than $100.
