My boyfriend just recently bought a New TSX and i just bought him the BMW stlye lip spoiler for his birthday .... I NEED HELP... what else can i get him for his car that he will like?????????????????

 

How much money are you looking to spend? I can think of a lot of really really good, but expensive things so it kinda depends on a price range.

 

Any good ideas are GREATLY appreciated.... I want to do something REALLY nice for him to show him that i AM interested in his car... i even helped him wash it.
Do you know anything about driving lessons....... ??? i would LOVE to get him driving lessons.

 

an intake is a reasonable purchase...tried to get my g/f to get me one, but she just spent twice as much and bought me new living room tables so I had to get it myself

 

Driving lessons would be a good idea. Check out information at Irwindale Speedway and Buttonwillow or Willow Springs Raceways. They all hold different driving courses for all levels. Another thing you could do, if you're looking to shell out serious money, you could try Bob Bondurant's Racing school or one of the other major racing schools across the country.

 

I wouldnt even know WHERE to begin on buying him an intake i am REALLY trying to learn as much about cars as i can... And i know for a fact that as soon as i walk in a store they already know i dont know ANYTHING.... so basically i dont want to get taken advantage of....... Any specific intake?

 

injen or k&n seems to be the most popular. (i have a k&n)

driving school would definitely kick ass!

 

THANKS FOR THE HELP.... ANYBODY ... know any good driving schools?

 

Is he looking to race, just take a skills course, defensive driving, etc.?

The Sports Car Club of America sponsors classes:

And the National Auto Sport Association sponsors HPDEs, which train drivers to race in their sponsored circuits:

THAT is a great idea

 

Pretty cool when your girl gets you big time car accessories. Gotta' love it!

 

Get him a TV in the car. I wish I had one, but not no cheapy system either one that is also a headunit and controls the monitor in the back seat, plays DVD's and video games, and Navigation wouldnt be too bad either. Geez your a nice girlfriend.
I personally wouldnt care for driving school , I know how to drive and I dont think I need to learn how to drift just to go to work everyday and be stuck in traffic.
WTF Im gonna learn ---How to drift into my parking space ? get outta hea.....

 

I love it when people say "I know how to drive" or "WTF am I gonna learn"...

Personal experience here...

I thought I knew how to drive too. However, when I got involved in road racing (that's on a track), I realized I didn't know squat. You learn a great deal about car control, driving line, traffic situations, accident avoidance, and it really tests your patience. Plus, it makes you a more attentive driver. Before I started racing, I didn't pay all that much attention to things going on beyond the car in front of me. Now, I probably am scanning the road as far away as I can see. KINGFABIAN, spend a couple hundred dollars and take a basic defensive driving course. You might be surprised when you learn a thing or two.

Also, I personally don't like TVs in cars. I think they're a rather dangerous distraction and, like cell phones, should never be used by the driver in a moving vehicle. But that's just a personal thought.

 

Woman of the year right there. Wow. Too bad we're both taken. I would love a lip spoiler.

 

I've taken a couple of the 2-day performance driving courses at Skip Barber http://www.skipbarber.com and they operate at Laguna Seca, among others.

I agree totally....it's different than you think. In fact I think it's totally different to what people think it is.

GREAT idea for gifts btw!

 

THANK you for ALL of the great suggestions.... I think i am going to loook into the Different driving schools. I also maybe will get him an intake this summer.... he will love that i am sure.
If any of you are going to the So Cal TSX meet i will be there with my boyfriend thanks again for all of the suggestions ... any new ideas are ALWAYS appreciated.

 

Hey, cool. See you at the meet.

 

YEah i am excited... i have an old acura legend and with my boyfriends new car i am tempted to start fixing up my car its kinda fun..... now i know why men like car's so much.

 

Hmm...with the number ladies coming, I think I'll bring along a friend of mine who's also a car fanatic so she can have some lady car fans to talk to instead of just us guys.

 

Just out of curiosity, who is your bf? Is he a member of the forum? I'd like to add him to the list for the meet. I'm gonna be sending the whole group a final PM with the details so I wanna make sure he doesn't miss out.

 

REALLY trying to learn as much about cars as i can... Where can I find a girl like this??

 

Ok off topic. When my gf asks me what I want for bday, I always reply "the naked you".

 

Sounds like a good present to me. My gf already knows that so I don't even have to say it

 

get him tein flex coilovers with (electronic damping force controller) edfc ~ 1500 USD. omg.

omg. i want teins.

 

My boyfriend is ccarbajal08 .... Yeah he posts on here often he loves it

He is really psyked about the meet...

 

He's spoiled he always gets that... i also got him a carwash kit too for his birthday... MR. clean auto dry is AMAZING!!!!!

 

How about a little tatoo somewhere on you but he has to search to find it.

 

Cools...he's already on the list so he'll be getting the info. Look forward to meeting you and everyone else at the meet.

Info for the meet will be sent out tomorrow afternoon so if you have a preference for time, speak up soon.

 

Hey...that's a great idea. I wish I could convince my girl to do that, but she hates tatoos. Oh well...
