Welcome to the group and to San Antonio!

I used a friend that works at Firestone off Hildebrand and Broadway. In Alamo Heights. He is into lowered cars and has a lowered SR20DET 240 himself. He has special wood 2x4s he uses for lowered cars so it will clear going up.

His name is Justin, if you want to go to him, send me a PM and I can give you his phone #.

Hope to see you at future meets!

I'm new to San Antonio and have asked around about alignments in the area. Anyone ever used the lifetime alignment at Firestone? I heard of a Firestone here that has the alignment rack that's flush to the ground. My TL is a kind of low so it wouldn't be able to make it up the rack anywhere.

I have with the guy I mentioned above. I had to go to him a few times after adjusting the height on my car. No issues. He will do it as many times as we want. I usually give him a tip each time though I go to be nice.

There is one that is flush on FM-78 but I stopped going to them due to the fact they screwed up 3 of our cars with alignments. Had to take the cars elsewhere to get it corrected at another store. Now I have my friend doing it, he does it great.

There is a shop on Bandera Road called Finsanto that Ana can recommend that has a in ground one that is good. But no lifetime.

Also welcome! Hope to see you at the meets. Keep an eye on this thread and others in the Texas area. If you have any questions, feel free to ask or pm me.

Welcome aboard! What year TL did you get? Keep an eye on this forum for any meets or updates to the SA group! If you have any questions, please let me know here or by PM! I plan to get us together a bit more often than the normal Texas meets, so keep an eye out for the plans later this week or next.

Haha not me! It is funny how suddenly I take over and a bunch start coming in here. Maybe because the thread is active though.

I know Gunn Acura has a Black 08 Type-S in stock with only 50k miles. Might want to take a look at it.

I saw that one and test drive it but I've seen lower prices on here and it wasn't exactly that clean. I'm partial to WDP and kinetic Blue..

Hey guys. Sorry for the delay on posting my ideas for meets, etc. I been in the ER room 2 nights ago, and also that morning before that, had to put our cats to sleep. So it has been a rough week.

Either way, here is what my ideas are and lets discuss.

1) Meets. Let's discuss having a monthly meeting when everyone can meet for like Dinner and some drinks. Maybe Friday evening or Saturday evening. Even during the week if it works better for peoples schedules. But lets set it like the 2nd Friday of the month or something like that so everyone knows what day it is. How do you guys feel about that? What places would you like to consider and days?

2) T-Shirts - I am in discussions with Dennis to see if we can have some shirts similar to theirs for the Houston Crew as the San Antonio crew made. This will help our club advertise itself locally and hopefully make it grow.

3) Stickers - Same way for our cars. Add San Antonio Chapter to our stickers.

Anyone else have any more ideas, please feel free to post them. I want us to get a little more active than our Texas meets so this will make our group stronger.

What's up everyone. Noob to the group here. Not new to the scene. Used to do a lot of meets in ca where I'm from. Midnight racing and such. But about 10 years Ago moved to SA and gave up the racing, unless its at the track.i Used to hit all the meets, bennigans, best buy, biffs, bigs, etc. Now sort of do shows and some meets when I can.

I've been scanning this page for about a year. Lots of useful info. A little about me.
8 year member of San Antonio F body association. 99 ls1 trans am. Some mods to that. And it goes to shows. I just picked up 3rd at the Audie crooked car show on Saturday.
So why am I here...lol. 2006 white diamond acura tl. Auto base. Dc sport cai. 5% tint. Yellow fogs. So far. U guys and gals seem pretty cool and I would like to meet u guys some time. I like the idea of a meet and greet. Dinner and drinks. Always fun for me.
Pimpin if u need a place for shirts. BELIEVE IT on celebrate right inside 1604. The owner is awesome and hooks up car clubs. Good shirts and hats and other stuff.
Anyways. I'm using an iPad and will learn how to load some pics.
Thanks
Robert

Welcome aboard man. I actually use to be part of that club back in 99-2000 too when I had a 99 TA LS1. Will let you know on the shirts, we have a guy in Houston that already has them made for his group that might do it for ours and be cheap since all we have to do is change Houston to San Antonio. If you have any questions feel free to let me know.

Would like to get ideas of places for the monthly meets so we can get this off the ground. Post your opinions everyone!

Thanks pimpin. U were in it way before me. I'm one of the last few since 05.

Meet spots. A place with a patio and cold beer. Two step is pretty cool.

Where's everyone at. I'm in Alamo ranch.

Here's our current Houston Crew t-shirt:

Front:



Back:




We are in the process of designing a new shirt.
The Texas sun aint a joke, we'll be choosing a grey or a dark blue shirt instead of black this time around.

since then, we've grown to include other cars; and our design reflects that with the addition of an RL, 2nd gen TSX and the 4th Gen TL!

Thanks Justin for posting that!! No doubt Black in Texas not good.

I am around 281/1604 area. Never heard of Two Step. But we can make a list of places.

So:

1) Two Step
2) Lion and Rose
3) Freetails

Still need to discuss days and times.
