Well i'm not sure if your in H-town or Plano, TX anionrings, because i live right on the border of Plano/Carrollton. Theres a monthly meet here for C&C off the Tollway at the BMW stealership. Never been, but its a lot of super high end luxury/sports cars. Extremely wealthy area as you may know if your in Plano. Look up some C&C crash vidoes haha. People get a bit happy when they leave and wreck haha

Imagine a huge parking lot full of Lamborghinis/Ferraris etc.. The people are super nice too. I usually quickly walk through the front section where most of the Mustangs/370Zs/Camaros/Civics etc.. are and go to the back part where the exotics/supercars are.



If you guys are planning on parking together, you're going to have to be there super early. Last month and on they did away with allowing people to place cones for others so it's almost like a free for all now. I was there at 6 AM and it was packed.

No I saw one but it was the ugliest color I have ever seen. The only thing interesting that I saw there was of course the bagged lexus is250 fsport. The new infiniti lineup of coupes. They had hardly any concept cars.

Fellow Texan (Arlington/DFW) here, heading to Houston tomorrow to pick up coils from Gen8888! Wondering if there's any other stuff y'all might be considering selling, so I can make it a worthwhile trip. Or, maybe suggestions on what to do or if anybody wants to meet for the few hours that I'll be there?

^ I got a brand new motorized license plate from swift motorsports up for sale. You don't want to have a front plate that hinders the aesthetic look of your vehicle nor holes on your from bumper

I got anything you need homie lol. Maybe if you're here early enough we can install coils. I did help to uninstall those coils you're buying and I approve the condition they're in. You wont be disappointed.

That would be so awesome... But I'll probably be there around 2 pm, and I'll have a couple of buddies with me that might want to eat somewhere in Houston before we head back so I might have to pass on some AZ hospitality. Would like to be home before 8, lol!

Haha, that's right! Technically though... I'm not bone-stock! Got a few goodies here and there, and my car was on H&R Sports with stock shocks for a half-year... Got tired of the assortment of suspension noises and worn shocks, so I saw this as a perfect time to grab a set of coils at a reasonable price, as opposed to a new set of Konis or Tokicos!

Got to meet Andy in person, and I'm totally glad I did! He was awesome, answered all of my questions, and my buddies and I even got to see his sweet rides up close! Friendly too... I need to meet some of my DFW people if all AZ members are like him!

To be honest, my spontaneous trip cost a bit more than what I saved from picking the coils up myself... But the experience is one to remember, and way more personal and engaging than if I was to get it shipped for cheaper!

Maybe a future trip to Houston should be in the cards for me... Meet the rest of the Houston boys perhaps, and there's definitely a larger TL-parts market down there. Saw a set of 07-08 base tail lights on Craigslist down there I should have snagged!

Whats up Jonathan, thanks for taking the drive down and picking them up, hope you enjoy them! It was nice meeting you and your friends, its always fun to talk to other Acura enthusiasts. You're ride is coming together nicely, love the Type S additions. If you have any questions on the Coils just hit me up anytime. Hopefully we can meet again in the future at an all Texas City meet.

Did you hit up any good food spots while down here?

Not this time, unfortunately. We did stop at Buc-ee's again on the way back (also stopped on the way to meet you!)... Such an impressive stop to make!

Maybe next time we'll hang around and see what Houston has to offer, if I don't have any time constraints haha. It'd be awesome to see you at a meet! Bring the S2k, would love to see the progress on it!

Buc-ee's is awesome; lives up to all the stories I've heard about it, with the huge and clean restrooms, and there's literally EVERYTHING you could possibly need for a road trip.

Excellent BBQ sandwiches, beef jerky and kolaches as well, as my buddies and I would find out on the way to and from Houston, haha!

Went to honda today an purchased the Orings i need for the power steering pump. The parts guy also mentioned that people usually change the "power steering seal 91249-pnc-003" when doing this process. I looked on the forum an saw a thread where a guy replaced all the Orings but didn't mention getting a power steering seal should I go head an purchase it just incase?
