I was in a car performance shop in Melbourne Australia today asking about what work they have done with Accord Euros (TSX).

The salesman pulled out a Honda Accord book. It was all in Japanese! The book was about 100 pages. He let me flick through it whilst he answered some phone calls.

I was amazed! This book has every conceivable part modification for the Accord/TSX you can think of - with photos of parts like suspension kits, brake upgrades, exhausts, racing seats, etc and advertisements for products from places like Mugen, Kenstyle etc. It also has photos of 100s of rims that fit the TSX and how they look on the vehicle.

Some of the TSXs in the book were amazing - things like carbon fibre bonnets, huge cross drilled discs, etc. I have seen nothing like it on the internet. They are doing some amazing things in Japan!

I asked whether the book was for sale - he said yes but he would need to order it from Japan for $85AUD (around $50US!). Fairly expensive so I didn't order.

If anyone has this book it would be great if you could scan some of the TSX photos onto this site! They were awesome.

wow, I want to see it too.

sweet definately need some scans

You talking about this???



I have this book. It's cool, but most of the mods are for the previous gen Accord Euro-R. In addition, some of those demo cars (especially the wagons) are just too ridiculous, at least IMO.

Yeah I was gonna say it was prob a Hyper Rev book. Either that one pictured above or the Perfect Guide.

Hyper Revs are awesome!!
I have 4 Hyper Revs, DC5 ITR Perfect Guide, 2 DC2 Integra books, and a STi Perfect Guide.

it was the hyper revs book.

Vwong - are you able to scan some photos onto this site? There were some amazing tsxs in there.

By the way - where did you obtain a copy?

I don't have a scanner.

I got it from a Japanese bookstore locally here in LA. I'm not sure where you can order one online.
