Out of my own morbid curiosity -- If you could do anything to your TSX, what would you do?

some things that just popped into my head were:

awd conversion
lambo doors
turbo/supercharger
even hondata would be nice for me
extensive weight reduction via carbon/kevlar

I'm not sure how expansive our car's capabilities are, but it never hurts to brainstorm.

Vinny

 

hmm.. make the cabin super quiet, no rattle..

 

Definitely AWD conversion! It would be an awesome car then =D

 

Im with you...well not the lambo, but the AWD.

I would buy a subie STI crate engine and go to town, that 300HP/300fpt with awd would be sick on the tsx. I would also swap out the interior with the A-spec concept cars interior.

Then I would rally it

 

RWD conversion, turbo, and....

 

My vote is for AWD, but if I was gonna add that, I'd also want another 50 or 60 hp to go with it. But I have a feeling we may come close to this with the next TSX.

 

 

get rid of the DBW

 

AGREE

 

I want mine to be like this (but with even wider wheels and tires).

 

thread revival for sure ... if i had the funds right now:

racing buckets w/ harness
new steering wheel
paint job
mugen front bumper
lsd

 

hehe ok ok im gonna go FATmat now.. lol i brought it over here to my garage. and its just sitting in my trunk.. lol

 

I'd add the CT supercharger.

 

AWD!!! Most Def!!

 

so whats a few thousand anyway?

 

I'd swap in a new 6th gear so I can get >35 mpg on the highway. I know we don't have a lot of torque down low, but couldn't I do 2k or 2.5k rpms at 70 mph instead of 3k?

At least it's not as bad as my girlfriend's Jetta...

If anything were possible, I would like to significantly decrease the weight without sacrificing the luxurious interior.

 

AWD is nice, but since nothing has designed on our car, I will pass it.

I would rather get the LSD; Racing bucket; and Reduce cabin noise.

 

aftermarket stand-alone ecu that works with DBW and doesn't cost over $2000 (fcuk MoTEC)

 

Definite +1 on the LSD...

A DC5 Quaife LSD (along with a few other transmission mods) could be a possibility for me in the future...

 

All i really want right now is hondata.

 

Ummmm ... I read in multiple reviews that the 5AT has two overdrive gears ... I see them kick in when I'm up at speed. 65MPH, 70MPH. I'll have to take a look again on my drive home.


Me ... I'd like Hondata reflash (without the wait), tighter suspension, a better stereo, and a defector screen/force field that prevents the NC yellow spring pollen cloud from touching my car.

 

lets see, RWD conversion, Manual, Custom Turbo, better suspension, More power...Nice stereo,

James Bond "Vanish" stealth technology, custom trunk that have hidden drawer for a nice tightly sealed suits, gadgets and more lol.

 

Lol, funny how hopes change over a matter of a year

 

I have a 6 manual though. 5th gear and 6th gear are very close, too close I think. That's why the automatic gets better gas mileage on the highway than the manual.

 

Remove the engine drop in the tl type s motor with a super charger and hook up an s2000 drive train to it! that would make me happy

 

I'll play. And I'll keep it somewhat realistic.

SH-FWD. Turbo. A smaller steering wheel. A sequential gearbox with actual mechanically linked paddle shifters.

That should do it.

 

I'd want a much quieter cabin, and for possibly a first to say out loud: TSX-hybrid. Low end torque galore, better MPG.

 

Dat would be kool.

Since I have a 2005 TSX, the only thing I'd ask for is BT and MP3 capability. But that's all going to be solved, since I've ordered the Alpine eX-10

 

Launch control!!!

 

All I really want now is suspension, like Tein CS. Engine upgrades would be nice, but I don't think they're necessary as the car is fine for what it is.

 

ROFL at the Manettino! hahaha

 

I'd turn mine into...this:

Hahaha all jokes aside...I'd make it RWD and swap in a TT I-6, like the 335i's. But all I really want in my TSX is for the rattles to be gone

 

^^ I really like the paint on that Ferrari.

For the TSX:

RWD or SH-AWD options.
4 or 6 cylinder option.
Turbo option.
A stiffer chassis.
Higher quality interior.
LSD. hehe
Major soundproofing.
Better quality paint.
More gizmos so I don't have to buy all these modules.
Camera, etc.

 

Engine management/turbo.

 

Reality:
LSD
Forced Induction
Sound Proofing
Navi retrofit
Carputer
BBK with a bigger MC

Dream:
Drop the S2K drivetrain in it and then turbo charge it
Reclining back seat like the G35
A 7-speed manual
