Hello all,
I'm 22 years old, purchased a 2004 Acura TSX 6speed December 2012
Currently own a 1995 Honda Accord 2dr 5spd
I purchased my TSX for 9k. Clean title, PO was leaving the United States to move to Japan so he was is need of selling it and came across it on CL.
enough with the small talk, on to some pics
these are all just some random shots ive taken...nothing great but it should do for now.
I came across this site while searching for some OEM floor mats, means mine did not come with them.
thanks for reading.

Switched out my flywheel and cluth March 2013..my lovely Father is my mechanic
here we got a redneck cherry picker.. :salook: we have one but my father figured it would be in the way and the car was kind of located in an awkward spot..
since my father isnt charging me...least i could do was buy him his favorite Canadian Whisky--that was his 2nd half gallon ive gotten for him in a week
yeahhh sooo check this out...i honestly didnt do this haha promise! car was already messed up but not as much...got worse over the little amount of time i drove it

made a trip to Seattle this weekend for the NW Built-StanceWars meet...met up with a buddy of mine and picked up some BC-BR coils!
During disassemble of the right rear shock, we somehow managed to break the sway bar end link...
in addition we investigated the weird noise coming from the left rear side caliper and came to the final conclusion that it was seized..there is only wear on one side of the pad. other than that i just need to work on getting my code back for my stereo..looking into buying a rear Ingalls camber kit..also a progressive sway bar..and umm an Aspec lip kit and Type 1 18" Blitz...then that should do
also picked up some OEM window visors..

Looks great. Good start. Only constructive criticism would be to ditch the garage door lip and bolt up an 06 sti lip. You can find a couple TSX owners on google that have done it. As well as I to my ILX.
Keep doing what you're doing.

Looking nice! I'm 21 and have a CGP TSX just like yours, except 06 and 5AT, nice to see a younger crowd
I plan to pick up an A-spec lip kit aswell. When I installed my Tein coilovers, I too broke my swaybar endlinks and replaced them with moog. PITA

My newest mod has been 2005 RL Calipers---350z Brembo Rotors---Stillen brake pads---FFC RL Caliper Brackets
stock set up
Enkei Rpf1 18x8 +35
I tried on my brother in laws Evo 9 wheels 17x8 +38 and they also cleared just fine.--was taking off the bumper also in this pic
The stock 04 tsx wheels did NOT clear the RL Calipers, which we already had predicted
With this picture, we can tell I might be good using a 5mm spacer if I do choose to keep my OEM wheels for my winter setup. MIGHT have to use a 10mm. we will see later on.
FFC Caliper brackets
Since Sergio (toolman) likes to hack shyt up, he went ahead and cut off two pieces from my shield means the Rotors touched them--this picture doesn't show the lower piece he had to cut off as well
Rotor touching the shield
Tomorrow I have an appointment to get my fenders rolled and I will also be going lower.

thanks doods! haha work wheels aren't mine and won't be going on lol too big!
rpf1s are a nice touch to my car I like them!
went to install my MOMO hub and Nardi wheel this last weekend and the Hub was the wrong part number. emailed the seller and he apologized the incorrect one, as soon as I get my new hub in I will obviously install. stay tuned!

I would check with your insurance, but removing a safety equipment is usually a big no no and you could face problems if you were ever to get in an accident. I'd bet the insurance company would not pay out.

haven't logged on since last May lol I forgot my passwords and what not
june 2014 scooped these 18x9 +30 and 18x10 +38 Work Emotion XD9 235/40 and 245/40 tires
time for a wash
I'm copy and pasting my update from my other thread from another forum
got my new tires on 235/40 front 245/40 rear. crappy picture
Serge hacked up my RL calipers so I got his blue ones for the meantime
Random from home and California trip
and for my Birthday Serge sent off our 3rd set of RL calipers to get painted a surprise color
Aqua Teal I believe is the color?
Need to have them rebuilt still
finally sold my Enkei RPF1 wheels so I want to finish saving up for my paint job and fixing all the blemishes/dents on my car

picked up my beauty today
they refinished my headlights too so I was surprised when I seen them
ok--well, it is upsetting to say that within AN HOUR of picking up my car, he was rear ended.
here's the damage. 8am can't come soon enough so I can call the body shop and get it scheduled in. my first show is April 12. I'm pushing for time. I cried like a little bitch. excuse my pretty little potty mouth. but my heart is broken.
car is currently in the shop again as of March 10 2015
no dent though.
