Two strange things about Arizona:

1) instead of hiring gardeners to mow your lawn, you hire gardners to rake your gravel into pretty patterns (note: only for the 90% of people who dont have grass on their lawns. if you have grass, you still hire a gardener to mow it, then rake your gravel...)

2) In parking lots they mount outdoor speakers to the light poles and play music all day/night. Swear to god I couldnt figure out where the music was comming from at first.

This problem didnt happen before the hks intake install. Anyways its coming off soon, english said they include custom intake with installing Fp black.

Also i know its easy, im a newbbb but i need help adjusting my manual boost controller, gain, set, limiter settings. lol

with a more open cone filter instead of a stock enclosed filter, maybe you can just hear the BOV inside the intake... my mechanic mentioned that he can hear the BOV now with just adding a cone filter. And same thing on my turbo Fiat

How much for your Old Acura? I am in need of a daily beater as the Evo gets some upgrades in the future.

newer preludes are cool. i heard of the triptronic problems on the auto models though... and the insurance is higher because ppl steal them up here for the h22.

I almost got a prelude as my first new car but Acura had better incentives on the GS-R so I went that route. I walked off the lot with a loaded Supersonic Blue Pearl (no it isn't purple!) for like 20k.

*edit - forgot to post this earlier. SierraSnowboards is having 50% off boots/boards/bindings right now. I think starting Wednesday they will be putting clothes/accessories on sale too. Some killer deals to be had! Also, Sturtevant's in Bellevue is having their progressive sale and is at 40% off most items. I assume Mt Pilchuck in EVT is doing the same, but their website is down.
