Well...long range forecast says rain rain and even more rain starting this Friday.

Lets keep an eye on the forecast and then arrange a meet...

I'm assuming fri/sat/sun 4-6 works for most of you?

I'll be back in Vancouver Sunday night til Tuesday night. Keep me posted.

Ps, if anyones interested, I came across this:

http://www.indulgeliving.com/deals/d...hp?deal_id=901

Anyone use these guys before? It doesn't mention carpet shampoo but for $175 normally, I assume it'd be part of the package.

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I've got an 04 silver TL with navi. I bought it last winter, and I'm still enjoying it. I live in Richmond.

Welcome ELtoTL. Nice choice! Treat the car well and it will give you years of driving pleasure.

I think I stole that line from the owners manual.

LOL! i believe thats worse than a range rover, how much did you get with a TL cause i use quite a lot too. Although im at 11/100km it feels like i dont even get 300km

Congrats on the new car! 3G's are still a hot ticket. I'm on stock suspension but I plan to drop no more than 1-1.2 inches and for now, spacers on the stock type s wheels. I'll get my hands on Aspec wheels down the road. Maybe for next season.

Welcome! I run on H&R coilovers. It rides really well on these roads until you hit some of those roads which are shitty as hell and you can really feel the stiffness of the coilovers.

thanx for the reply guys...for now im leaning towards the aspec suspension but i guess the downside on that one is not being able to adjust the ride height..as for the kit i was quoted 1880 tax in (painted)from richmond acura but that doesnt include the lip spoiler as i was told they the part is no longer being made..any other place i can get it cheaper but has the oem fitment?

i have the a spec suspension.. it gives 3/4 inch drop. it does suck that its non adjustable but i wanted an oem ride and the aspec is good for that. its not too stiff or too soft. i got a killer deal on brand new a spec strut/spring combo so i went for it if i didnt get a killer deal i would have prob went with konis

I am running tein ss on my 4G TL. It rides less bumpy than stock but still gives you the firmness you want for sport sedan, and it also killed a lot of body rolls.
