So what's up with you . . . you land the big job and get sucked up in the corporate world?

What do we need to do to get you excited about doing some mods? There's a thermo spacer for the intake and TB that should net 5-8hp/tq . . depending on outside temps could be a couple more . . . around $120, so several of us are thinking of getting it and having a mod meet . . .

BTW, Casper is planning on showing up and showing us how to clear our front lights . . . that should look good with Silver . . .


Ruf
No big job yet, still at the bottom of the food chain.

Got anymore info on the "thermo spacer"? Sounds interesting.

I'll try to keep up so I'll know when the mod meet gets planned.

any of you guys get out to the GM auto show in motion over the weekend? I should have taken pics with my new toy,



but I forgot it.

Got to drive all the new LS2 cars though, the new Vette, GTO, and SSR.
I loved the GTO's power, but it's interior felt really cheap. The Vette was amazing of course, still a dream car of mine. The SSR was awesome with the top down, the exhaust sounded great!

I also drove the Saab 9-2x, unfortunately it was an auto so it had crazy turbo lag. But that car handles beautifully! I now see why there's so many WRX fans.

Cruisers
Underground (or; Ultimate)
Racing (or; Roadie)
Adicts (or; Ayslum or Association)

One more thing . . . the idea is this is sort of our club name and the 'Rumble in the Canyon is the Event name for this meet.

Sort of like . . . .


A.C.U.R.A. 1K Club's First Annual Meet, "Rumble in the Canyon"

Yes, there's an option on the "A" standing for Auto to show our openness to other brand owners . . .

As always, we welcome all makes . . . so bring the G35C on so I can and it

This past winter when they were doing those crazy deals, I almost bought one to play with. If I did that, I would have kept the TL. But, I decided that it would be bad to have 2 cars that I would want to mod.

Okay motorheads

Looks like things are going way too slow on the group buy , so sincewe really likely to only save $5, who's ready to do this??

If the $5 is too much extra, MattG will cover that extra amount since $5 is no big deal to him . . . :troutslap

These are available for several car makes so even if you don't have an Acura, check and see if there's one for yours.
