Allow myself...to intro..duce ....myself

Well I just wanted to say whats up to everyone,
I have been secretly lurking around here
& planning to pick up a TSX

Well I am in the final process of purchasing the vehicle
I found a Black on black 6spd w/ navi for 30k w/ tax etc etc

I've been into ripping apart hondas for about 7 years
Moderated on
Clubsi.com
Ephatch.com
jdmuniverse.com etc etc

I SHOULD have the TSX on the driveway by the end of the week or mid next week

Thanks for all the information and informative posts
& looking forward to posting some nice How to's for you guys & full on part reviews


Here are some pics of my past few vehicles
00 civic ex


02 civic si



04 honda element
