hey peeps, im new to acurazine. i just got an '05 tsx and was wondering what my first mod should be? any suggestions?

 

^CONGRATS on the purchase!!~~ My 2 cents...I would go with LED interior lighting. I get compliments on mine all the time.

 

I'm new too, I just picked up an '04 tsx.. i think mines going to have to be white interior lighting, and many more better ones in future!

 

Hondata reflash, followed closely by lightweight pulleys, and a new intake.

 

Suspension.

 

i too just picked up a tsx but its an 07 i saw a link somewhere but cant find it on a diy for doing interior led lighting. can someone please post a link to it. and preferably a place to get the bulbs i heard of superbrightleds.com but they are kinda expensive dunno if its real good quality that wont burn out. thanks

 

Depending on the age/mileage, I would make sure everything inside/outside is good to go before modding. I bought my '05 CPO but the spark plugs were black and the engine/cabin air filters needed replacing. After checking other things, I've put Lubro Moly products through it to clean injectors/valves and used an oil treatment when I changed my oil for the first time.

After you think you're set, cold-air-intake/headers/pulleys/exhaust/suspension seem to be the first things to be replaced.

performance wise...i agree with all of the above ^^
a header wouldn't hurt either.

 

upgrade the rear sway to a 22 mm variety ie progress, comptech, etc

 

I think imma get either the interior lighting or the intake. Anyone got the DIY info on how to install the interior lighting tho?

whats the point of LED interior lighting?

 

-Use less energy
-So they don't create as much heat
-Unique look
-Bulbs last forever

 

If you replace the stock bulbs (map lights, etc) it's a higher color temp - makes it look more clean, etc. Some are brighter than bulbs.

If you add LED's to the courtesy lighting circuit and install in the footwell area, you can see what's on the floor more easily when you get in/out of the car at night.

You can also install LED's in the footwell area and wire into the storage pocket, these will come on with the headlights and provide ambient lighting in the car.

 

But I would do it in this order:

Cold Air Intake
Pulleys
Hondata Reflash

You should really open up the motor with the intake first before doing the reflash. It will help out well. And it would be beneficial to do the headers and high flow cat if the OP has a 04-05, which I believe he did.

 

i would say for your first mod , get some tints on the windows, you cant go wrong .. then work under the hood.. thats what ima do

 

Depends on what are you aiming at?

1. JDM (performance oriented)

2. Elegant

3. Minimalist (daily drive)

 

There is no point... except posing & blinging... While checking out the tailights of other TSX's with real modifications & upgrades...

Ok, I'm joking but I don't understand these kind of lighting mods at all.

 

For lighting go to ebay and type in year make model and interior lighting and if you want you can throw in a color too. I have a pearl white 07 TSX with black leather interior and added blue LED lights for 20 bucks pack came with all bulbs needed. Install took 5 min and it is amazing. Just love it

 

i just tried searching it on ebay, and nothing came up. is there another way to get interior lighting?
