Where o where has our Mantis gone. O where o where can he be.

It's been 3 days and not a post to be found.

I know, he's probably at the cart track boning up on his driving skills so he doesn't get whipped by us.

I'm around, I've just been debating going to a family affair, or the car meet.

Its just one of those things.

danny25

Family affairs are over rated.

civic4982

well I'm oging to my aunt and uncle's 25th anniv. bash before I go to the meet at 8:30... so family first

Hanzie

so does that mean you aren't coming???

RUF87

I knew it, his trials were poor and now he's getting worried.

Seriously though, I've been there and have missed a meet for similar reasons. So if you can't make it between 8:30 and ??, that's cool.

But remember, the next time we meet I hope to have my new tread and will be looking to whip up on that CLS of yours. :P

Heh, I tried going to the go cart placeat lunch today, but they were closed. I guess since school is back in, they don't have daytime hours anymore.

I think I'm gonna have to head to houston with my future bro in law. I'll get in trouble with my sister if I don't go. :/

You can't hang with the CL-S b/c TL-Ss are soooo sloooowww! :P :P

danny25

This page is getting way too far down the forum. So.....Mantis, damn your car looks so hot in person. Those 19s and that drop made a comptech drop look like a 4x4. I didnt even want to look at my stock ride.:shakehd:

I'm disappointed you couldn't make it Jacob, I want a ride in that Vette raper.

civic4982

hey guys... anyone know a white suped up early 90s or mid 90s 911 that lives in the Dalals area? annoying little big ricey exhaust... I raced him tonight on frankford... I pulled up next to him to have al ook... and he dropped gears so I dropped mine... this was at about 40... I pussed and only dropped to 3 so he got the jump but at about 55 or so I started pulling and by 70-75 he was gazing at the nice '03 tail lights... I slowed down once I hit 85 b/c Frankford is notorious for 5-0 lurkin' i nthe corners... he wanted to play again but I had to go home cuz Iw as beat... anyways... that's my first and proly only win against ap orsche...

mantis23

Thanks my man.

I wanted to see the vette raper too. ohh well maybe some other time.

I can't wait till it gets colder so we can hit the track!

civic4982

hey guys.. how do the comptech springs ride? I'm about ot pick up a set...

DuckBlue

good seeing you guys again

mantis, got pics?

danny25

good kill

RUF87

Thanks for being considerate and waiting for me to leave before you go and have some fun. I'm sure I would have been tempted to jump in there and run as well, but with those rears, it would not have been wise.

BTW - keep me posted on the guy from Austin who might be interested in my wheels.

I actually went out and looked at some on Saturday, so I'm about ready to make the jump.

Also, found out that the TLS Michelins weight 23lbs, and I think the wheels are 24 or 25lbs. So 47-48 verses the 39-40 for my new set up should help off the line performance.

RUF

civic4982

sure thing I'll def. keep you posted on my friend's decision on those wheels... he just got some HIDs for his car, so next is a set of fat lookin' wheels... I should know in a week or so...

allsock

I wished I could have made the event but the acura gods decided to punish me instead, I got home friday afternoon and found a 2 inch nail sticking in the side of my pasenagr side rear tire. I bought 4 new sumo's therefore I have 3 almost new (2400 miles) mmxm 215-50-17 if anyone in the dallas area is intrested pm me. The only good thing was I got to start working on fitting the s/c.

danny25

Mantis, check out this game, you're prolly bored of that golf game right? This one will keep you busy at work. See if you can beat my high score. 28860 Level 8.

Just to let you know, I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on getting my wheels. Once I do, I'll be posting my TLS wheels on the forum.

If your buddy is serious and is willing to pick them up for cash, I'll give him a deal for $750. But he will need to act fairly quick, so find out where he stands.

Thanks - RUF

civic4982

hey do you guys know anything about the Comptech headers and whether or not ones made for the 5spAT will for my 6MT? b/c there's that guy selling them as you are all proly aware that's from Dallas... I'm going back for the w/end coming up and I wanted to get them... I need a place to install it for me too... anyone know anythinga bout this? anyways I start my first day of classes tomorrow... it's gonna be a bitch... back in Austin now though but when I come back for a break we should get back together and go to a REAL go-carting place like TVC... it's about $20 a race but they're 40MPH go-carts... really fast... indoors too so it'll be nice and cool (or warm if it's winter when I get back)... anyways... you guys take care and I'll kee pstayin on this thread to keep up to date...

danny25

the headers are different for the auto and 6 spd, sorry. I don't know of any specific place that will install them for you, i haven't done any looking around yet since the headers will prolly be pretty far off for me.

mantis23

mantis23

Can't make it tonight :/

reason im posting about it is b/c CLS-D was talking about hitting the track, over in this thread http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=79058

And it just kinda came up.

Hanzie

thats fine, i was just letting you know. Im not going either, but Jeremy is going to run is slow 02 si down the track hehe

danny25

let us know what he runs. Just curious for some real world #s.

mantis23

Bahaha, "slow down the track", bahahaha...

danny25

Hanzie, how did the SI do at the track?

Hanzie

i dont know, i didnt go, and i havent talked to him about it yet, but when i find out, i will let you know. But based on assumption from other cars and other older si's, he probably ran around a 16.5, all he has is the CAI

danny25

I brought this quote from the other Dallas thread, just cause I wanted to keep this huge thread going.

I agree, most everyone i've heard says you don't need any camber adjustment with comptech springs.

RUF87

Good idea Danny,

So where that pic of those Konig wheels? :P

RUF

danny25

Here you go...


I can teach you how to do that if you want. j/k :P

danny25

As long as they are in good shape, I think it's fine to use them. It's not like they have any mechanical moving parts to wear out or break. I don't really know a lot about springs, I've been curious, how long do springs usually last b4 you have to replace them? Or is it just shocks that need to be replaced?

mantis23

I'd say that used springs or coilovers are no big deal.. hell... the only diff between new ones and old ones is that they are dirty... and the springs have settled a bit. If you find used coilovers or springs, I'd say go for it.

mantis23

Who is ready to get smoked next weekend?

Hanzie

by who??? YOU???? HAHAHA jk mantis

RUF87

Why you young whipper snapper! You think you can teach an old dog new tricks?? Tricks are for kids. j/k

I can be taught, but mostly I'm lazy.

Anyway, I just needed to see them regularly to keep me going until they get in.

I may need some help getting some pics of my old wheels on the forum for folks to see.

RUF

RUF87

I always wanted to see your CLS in my review mirror.

danny25

As long as you have a digicam, or access to one, posting pics is no prob.
