My garage has become TSX enhanced!
Hi all,
Well, I'm happy to say that I now own a 2005 CG 5AT/Navi TSX bought this past memorial day. So far this has been the perfect car for me and I couldn't be happier.
It took about a year of contemplation, a couple of comparos and glowing reviews, a good upgrade in my career, and a longer commute to convince me it was time for an upgrade from my dependable but decidedly less luxurious Integra 4dr LS 5MT. Plus, my wife and 2 year old are more precious cargo; the Teg just wasn't gonna cut it anymore.
I'm looking forward to getting the comptech intake, comptech header, aspec suspension, and some lightweight rims/tires on her. Hondata upgrade possibly? In the meantime, its been a great first 600 miles.
Cheers,
CG Earl
PS This is just a shot in the dark, but is anyone interested in a well-treated 98 CSM 4dr/5MT Integra? In november I had installed Comptech headers, Icebox Intake, H&R OE Sport Springs and KYB GR2s, Type-R Front Lip, 16" OZ superleggeras (14.6 lbs). 138,xxx mi, I have all maintenance records, as well as receipts for installation of mods. Let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for the kind welcome, it seems everyone on this forum has a pretty mature disposition. Quite a breath of fresh air as compared to many other forums, even other AHM board. Which begs the question, do good people buy the TSX, or does the TSX make us into good people? Hmmm...

Congrats! 
If you want to sell your Teg you should post it in the Private Sales & Trades forum, just be sure to read the Black Market Rules before posting.

D-Bar, awesome! What part of DB are you from? If you're ever by Reagan park or near DBHS on Pathfinder and see a CG TSX with Weir Canyon plates/frames and see a Filipino dude in it, wave (or nod, whatever is least gay). Its probably me.
Glad to be part of the club!

A-spec suspension just came to my door yesterday. Acura of Escondido
shipped the package the same day and it got to my door the day after bidding on ebay! I'll probaly have Jesse install them & do an alignment? I'm even considering buying the DC header before so I could do them ALL at once.

I don't have any personal experience with it, but have heard unflattering things about the ceramic coated products. Longevity might be an issue. However, maybe things have changed under the new ownership (AEM). Its been written somewhere that they've solved the weld problem....anyways, just my non-expert

I'm right by the pathfinder freeway entrance, where that building burned down (I swear I didn't do it).

It looks like the comptech header has less risk associated with it. I think I'll compare the pricing of the 2.

Now, if Toda can do this, make more power, and come in at a reasonable price point, I'll change allegiances really quick.
