Wow. I have a lot of catching up to do. Turns out it wasn't the bushings. Mine actually look ok. There is still a clunk. It might be my upper ball joint or my shocks. My mechanic said to drive it until it gets worse, rather than replacing parts that "might" be it.

Black ice... I had planned on going to Baton Rogue for a wedding. I went to Katy to pick up my girlfriend since I didn't want her on the roads. Well, I got diverted to a bridge that wasn't treated, on a surface street... I now see why summer tires are USELESS. I just tapped the gas.... the VSC triangle just flashed. I made it to Katy, canceled the rental car and took her SUV to Baton Rouge. No ice after 2pm. Hope everyone was safe.

I might make D&B meet this weekend. I'll try and talk girlfriend into it.

Sup guys...I'm still around. Got a new project truck I'm working on so I've been working over on another forum lately (infamousnissan.com). TL is a bit of a garage queen now. Dropped a new w6 into my Uncald4 box and it sounds killer. Otherwise, nothing else new. Oh, I spaced out my A-Spec wheels a little bit...looks nice.

Marc, you should really replace that mount when you get a chance. That's probably where your clunking is coming from. That mount is so far gone, the other main mounts are probably bad too.

Sucks I'll miss the meet. Still landscaping my mini back area. I'll be playing in the sand tomorrow.

Just got my OEM clutch and checked it out. It official, LUK makes the OEM 3G clutch for Honda. One of the first things I notices was a small LUK stamped on it.
