Seems like it. It was pouring hard so i didnt expect a great turnout.



What should i do you guys? As you all know i have 2 sets of spare wheels, 2G TL-S that are polished and TSX wheels. Should i just sell both sets and pick up a new set of wheels? Prob XXR 527.

Might order my coilovers this week, not sure if i should yet.

If its an auto-tensioner you can't manually adjust, only replace if its going bad. If its manual, its easy to do as long as the adjuster bolt isn't corroded.

hmmm could all this rain cause the drive belt to squeal? Cause I hit some big puddles when driving around and some moisture might of got onto the belt.

Yeah it was sprinkling but I was still out there with probably 50+ people and 30+ cars. The Porsche crew definitely made it out.
