Will you all be interested in Alamo Carts next weekend? There is a Groupon for 4 for $80 so $20 a person for three races a lot cheaper then K1. K1 is like 20-25 per. I have 2 races I haven't used at K1 so idc. Up to you guys. Hoping at least 6-8 can come. Probably would eat lunch after (assuming/planning for Sunday)

You guys have fun!
Anyone know where I can go to get my car looked at? Just rebuilt the tranny on my 3G but feels sluggish. Got a code P0722 now and its very sluggish. I tried to reset the computer and I really don't want to go to GUNN Acura cause I feel I will get raped. blah
Cause the guy is not comfortable with doing the "electrical" part of the tranny. I got a good deal so I'm not concerned too much, but I'm getting a P0757 Solenoid B stuck on code. So I guess tomorrow I'll call GUNN and see what this part is and where its located. The transmission was done by someone I know in the southside, so you know an Acura TL is something they probably don't mess with.
5AT. I've done the pressure switches already so I know those are good. I was looking at the service manual for P0757, and its simply a solenoid, pressure switch B to be precise, so I will see how much this part cost and do it myself. It's dumb though on the service manual it doesn't reference a part number, but shows the location by removing the intake manifold cover. I really hope this is the case cause I just want to drive my freakin car again, I'm getting tired of my 98 Prelude SH haha.

Just did my first oil/tranny/diff/transfer case fluid change this weekend. Acura did a great job with the plug placements (especially transmission) which made for minimal clean up on my end, except for the oil filter is in the stupidest place 
I put Royal Purple in everything, and RP Max ATF in the transfer case which seems to have eliminated the 20 to 40mph light acceleration shudder that everyone is complaining about with SH-AWD model, time will tell. Car feels a lot smoother than when I picked her up a few months ago 
Next month I'll be replacing spark plugs and tires. Shortly after I'll be replacing the brake pads, rotors and brake fluid.
Does anyone go to Biff's on Friday nights?

Ok lets get some things going. I've been busy or I would have made the go-kart ordeal a little more organized. My bad 
If you don't already have my #, please give me yours or text me 8326032663 and who you are/car you have (and that you're from AZ). I know some of you aren't as active on AZ, so this would be a better route to relay info on meets.
Now I wanna try to work on headlight day and go-karting. What are your time frames for Christmas? New Years? I was thinking the 22nd for headlight day at Johns house. We would need everyone (that is doing headlight work) to pitch in for certain materials (if needed). Butyl would be #1 thing and if anyone has large clips to hold the headlight back together that would be great. I will not participate in the headlight making, but I do plan on installing some headlights (sending mine off to JNC because possible issue with projectors).
For Go-Karting/Lunch/Meet, I was thinking the 5th of January or the 14th of Jan with the 'Cars & Coffee' meet as well.
Also, I plan on buying these, and possibly installing these at headlight day:
http://www.uniquestyleracing.com/20actltystre.html
http://www.uniquestyleracing.com/acclinrsxtlt.html
So if anyone wants that as well that would be great as I may be able to get a small discount. Please let me know soon, would like to order within a few days.
Let me know if these days (for headlight day/meet/go-karting) conflicts with your schedule, I will do my best in trying to get a day that fits everyone's schedule.
