My car was finally released from customs (after 12 days), made it to the the train, survived the truck ride, and now she's at the dealership getting some tint, lipstick, and a shower. I take delivery on my 06 6MT NHB on ebony at 5:30pm today. I want to say thanks to everyone who told me not to worry. I rarely see any TSXs here and this morning driving to work I saw a beautiful NHB TSX drive up behind me, and I actually slowed down and got in the other lane so I could get a good look. It was like a solar eclipse. I know I'm not supposed to look but I couldn't help it. Needless to say I missed my exit and was 5 minutes late to work. Totally worth it. BTW this forum is the most awesome wealth of knowledge I've seen. Hopefully now that I'll own one I'll have something to actually contribute.

 

Congrats!

 

LOL, I have a feeling you'll be in your garage until late late in the evening with your eyes glazed over.


Congrats. And, don't forget to post pics.

 

Thanks, I'll definitely post pics (as soon as I take the time to read the thread on how). I have to head home now and empty my 98 ford taurus out. I'll be trading it in for the tax help, but I'd rather firebomb it. It's the end of an era, and I can't wait to actually drive a car I love that will love me back.

 

Congrats. My CGP 6MT/NAVI just arrived today at my dealer. I too am waiting for the prep/tint, etc. and then I will be taking my NHB 05 5AT/Non-NAVI to do the trade-in.

 

Nice!

I got the same color combo too.

 

has anyone modded a 2006 yet?

 

A few people have put in Hondata K pro, Comptech SC and a Turbo, but thats it I think.

 

lets not forget the synthetic blinker fluid.

 

thats good stuff man!



But yeah congrats on the '06

 

I'm pateintly waiting for some E-baller with 06 + oem bodykit.

 

Great choice on color!

 

I am still waiting to see the 06 Mugen kit!!

 

why did it have to go through customs?

 

 

^^^^or the i-Vtec fluid!

congrats!

 

It is manufactured in Japan and shipped here. It has to go through customs before it gets distributed to the dealerships.

It lasts longer and makes the blinker smoother.

 

congrats dude; you'll love her!

 

I didn't know that dealerships disclose that info to the buyer


How exactly do you apply this? and where?

 

 

Please tell me you are joking or I might have a new quote for my avatar....

 

Actually it's a valid question. this is the first time I've heard of it's existence. I dont think i'd ever use it though.

And the reason why I ask the question is because I know nothing of the product.

Do you apply to the actual bulb? or do you apply it to the blinker relay? there are multiple locations you could apply it to, hence my question.

I'm sure as hell not a car newb by anymeans. Sure I don't know exactly how to setup a turbo or sc, or adjust my cam gears. But when something new comes along, you gotta ask about it....

 

You arn't a car newb but you believe in synthetic blinker fluid!!!

lol... dude, blinker fluid? blinker fluid.... does that really make sense to you? It's a light bulb... why in hell would it need fluid??

 

no it is not a valid question there is no such thing as blinker fluid. how do yo even think that it is real.

 

dude chill, i thought it was some type of grease for the contacts and shyt.

with how many there are out there you never know what you'd find

 

:troutslap

 

lol I'm chill

that's just one of the funnier things I have seen on this forum in a long long time

 

well the first thing I thought of was and why anyone would use this shyt even if it DID exist.

 

Yup, one guy on the, ahem, other forum has twin turbos on his 06 and is turning low twelves in the quarter, I saw the video!!

 

Sorry sly. It was a joke. Its been repeated here every now and again. I should have added a smiley.

 

Especially when you can buy KY Jelly for half the price and it works just as well.

 

how did you hear about my car already...it's supposed to be a secret...

 

it's all good.

like I said in my post in the "Things we've learned this year at AZ" just yesterday

"I've learned that if you have something to share with everyone be ready to be made fun of."

 

So few poeple visit the other forum it will remain a secret.

 

When freightliners come in random containers are removed for inspection. They can't remove all and inspect because the time to inspect one ship could be 8-10 months. My car was in one of the unlucky containers that was detained. I found out because my dealer couldn't find shipping information for my car or 3 other cars that were supposed to arrive with it. He got in touch with the shipping company and gave them my car's VIN. They were the one's who told him and he forwarded the email to me.

 

Congratulations dj Dozhe, zero hour approaches. Looking forward to your pics!!

 

Did your dealer insure that the contents of the glovebox are intact? Ahem.

 

Thanks. 2 1/2 hours and counting.

 

Yes he did. No one does international drug trade better than Japan. whoops.
