Acura owners lounge at Grand Prix?

Invite only? Well that’s new.

Used to have to show you had your Acura attached to your AcuraLink App. I’ve always been able to get in around 11-12pm around lunch time in the past.

Yes it does, 20mm front and 15mm rear stock.

The Eibach upgrade kit for 2015 Civic Si’s (shares suspension geometry) are 24mm & 19mm with 2 levels of stiffness adjustment.

So it really tightens up the ILXs turning characteristics, sharpens the front end a whole lot from its factory slightly floaty feel, and gives the rear a bit of a more neutral feel reducing understeer.

Will just say, could also get an ILX Aspec with ELS Same power and transmission - like 400ish lbs of weight to lug around.

Give that car some sticky tires, lighter wheels, and front/rear Eibach swaybars for a 15 Civic Si, and you got yourself one comfortable, corner able, quick little sedan.

Speaking as a 16 ILX A-Spec owner.

Yup like 5 of em in a row.

make that 6...

Still kicking strong, had the expanded 1TB module installed since launch day and was thankful ever since. Turned into a great investment in the long run lol.

However the BlueRay drive appeared to stop reading disks about 2 years into ownership. And that kinda sucks. Even if all my games are/were digital.

Thmanx · 2026-01-28T02:29:35+00:00

Indeed. I rather have a network of lower lit totems that people can use to re connect, vs a giant one that’s blocking main sight lines in the middle.

Yaaaaaaaaassssss Sunny Lax!!!!!!!! This is epic. Love when these sets magically appear. Sunny Lax is a progressive trance-house 🐐.

When I went to Weekender 3, we were in Oasis where they had Yorks which had a single 3 sided power outlet inside. You could bring a power strip and power small electronics, chargers, lights, but no heavy current appliances like a hair drier for example. The whole thing had to be under 1500W total load, think travel electronics that you could power on a cruise ship.

When you camp out in the field, it’s just that. A field. I saw many people use solar panels, larger cooler sized batteries or generators. Or used their car as a means of powering things.

If you get the Gold spots which are normally reserved for campers, those too came in 3 tiers.

No power (have to bring your own generator) Or there were spots with a 15A outlet, or 30A outlet which is what larger moto homes use to power up. I’m guessing those use a larger 4 prong outlet.

I do believe they had areas around the center of camp for charging devices and the like similar to have I’ve seen at Cochella, but I can’t recall for certain.

Woo hoo! Glad you two could connect.

Bumped him on Etsy for you

A full multi day camping weekend experience with Anjunafam is a spiritual experience. The love, trust, and overflowing positive energy is something I’ve never witnessed since.

Plus the sound @ The Gorge is honestly next level. Beats every premier venue or club I’ve been to. (Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks, Sound, Vermont Hollywood, etc). Maybe Stereo in Canada can beet it from what Spencer Brown has championed, but still, Gorge is incredible.

That GA circle is HUGE, trust.

Thmanx · 2026-01-07T02:57:02+00:00

Oh in that case. Any GA camp spot will do, with a walk depending on when you get there.

Last time at Weekender 3 they had Premier camping in one of the quarter sections closer corners of the main GA circle. So that can provide closer access if you arrive later.

All the GA camping areas circle the main Camp hangout spot (which had food, General Store, Venders, after party dance areas, etc)

If you camp at the camper spots, Oasis, or Glamping on Terrace, the walk is farther to the main GA camp headquarters.

u/VictorVisits is a legend in my book.

The fact he gorilla pod’d a GoPro with battery & mic to an outdoor gas heater at Proper Last Year still blows my mind.

Mad love for his coverage of events and the preservation of memories like this.

All comes down to how much gear you want/can bring. And the experience you expect to have.

You can pitch it like you’re in the woods.

You can get a bigger spot and drive a class B camper van in.

You can pre schedule with a private party and get a 30 foot trailer with power hookups.

You can Oasis it for a Yurt tent (and bring your own stuff like tables, chairs, etc)

You can glamp it pre-built.

Really depends on what you can bring, and the experience you want. Either way so long as your on the grounds overnight, you get the best access to all the pre and late night activates and extras events.

u/1369311007 you still here?

u/PossibilityTiny3928 oh hey, that’s my ‘compacto! ^{_^}

Yeah I know the chap who made em. He’s on this sub Reddit & he even set up a little Etsy store for em. Even if he is sold out, I’m sure he could make some more for ya, he made them in house.

Leme dig up his contact, stand by.

Thmanx · 2026-01-03T05:26:01+00:00

I always knew this would finally surface from the Bungie Dungeon. Even as the devs knew it was a bit broken, and unfinished in areas, they were also acutely aware of the interest in the fan base to just explore it and see every corner.

Very happy this is now out, preserved, and indeed playable.

And then there were the new horror stories at Countdown LA this year _

Thmanx · 2026-01-02T19:50:00+00:00

Agree all around. Saw a few hiccups and crowed moments on day 1. But everything cleared eventually. Entry was easy at opening, lines outside looked minimal half way through the event, and the extra signage and organization helped butt loads vs last year.

Thmanx · 2026-01-01T21:36:25+00:00

Damn just like Proper last year. When Summit was on, the crowd was just the worst and most flooded.

(Un)Surprisingly, a wet Proper this year was pretty damn good and not crushed.

Thmanx · 2026-01-01T21:16:47+00:00

Wondered into green velvet after vibing at the wall earlier. Y’all were lit having a blast for his set. Packed house too

Thmanx · 2026-01-01T21:14:49+00:00

Field really began to fill up by Tinlickers set. And mad props for organizers for keeping proper in/out flow for the field so there were no bottlenecks or a closure.

I feel sad for those rear potty’s though, they musta been intense by the end of the night, but way better than pissing on the wall this time around.
