Does anyone know where I can get a TSX right dashboard? X Marks the Spot

 

it's one whole piece.
that your wreck ?

 

yeah whole piece, yah my TSX, wrecked not bad at all

 

man oh man how I wish I was teenager again

 

well don't think badly, I have to pay for the car, im workin from 7am to 3pm Mon-Fri to pay for it

 

sorry to see your tsx like that. how did it happen. hope you get it fixed soon.

 

No what I meant was you're taking it so lightly ("not bad at all" ) ...cause it seems to me to be bad fawk-up in the picture.

 

he's actually looking to buy one with salvage title and hve it fixed up.

 

He's buying a salvaged car and getting it fixed: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23632

 

oh how much would it be for the car in its current condition

 

what ? you looking to mod a TSX wreck into an Euro-R wreck now ?

 

no actually i wasn't. i was just asking how much they are trying to sell a wrecked tsx for cause i want to find one someone to take the black interior out of for my euro r project. and if you dont like my euro r conversion cool but you dont need to crack jokes about it. but i can take it if you have to cause your not the only one the says stuff about it. i dont care what others say about it cause i like it and since it is my car that is all that matters.

 

hey take it easy. I am not laughing at your project.
Just joking there. geesh.
I actually support it.

 

6k for the my salvage TSX, and the damge isn't bad just sheep metal with air bags deploying

 

sheep metal...is that new???...never heard of it

 

did the airbags in the seats deploy to or just the front. also do you have any front pictures.

 

just the front 2 airbags yeah here are the pics. It may look bad but Charlie, the body shop owner and my dads friend said its all sheet metal damage pluss windsheild and the radiator which is comming w/ the front end. Here is the damage pics plus the front end pic. The Front end will be repainted NHB.

 

6K for salvaged TSX
+ 2K (at least) for new dash including airbags
+ at least 3K or 4K for new front end
+ around 3K - 8k (depends if you have a hookup) on bodyshop labor

In my opinion, its not worth it. #1 concern would be frame damage. The car would NEVER handle the same, especially with another frontend welded on there.

You could probably get a used high mileage TSX for less than 20K, or maybe even a new Civic or something.

My

 

Already been down this road and he's not interested.

 

its gonna be 14-15k after everthing, its been figured up, its 6k for parts and labor. 2k for actual labor

 

obviously he trust his bodyshop........so lets just see how it goes

it'll probably be ok......from reading all his posts....he probably donno much about car and don't wanna get coupe.....so handling shouldn't be an issue.

just like TSX's speed isn't much of issue to me either

 

Wow. I used to work at an acura dealer body shop and welding the front end on like that just seems wrong. Just welding that front end onto the car will almost certainly reduce the effectiveness of the front crumple zone. Unibody construction is much more fragile after extensive body work such as this.

 

huh ? you can buy a whole front-end, big-ass replacement part like that from Acura/Honda ?
what's the deal with that strip of wind shield ???

 

My dad called Charlie (the body shop owner) and he told him to call this guy in Wisconssin who bought an entire train wreck full of TSX's. I actually thought about buying one of the engines he has. its 1200 for an engine with less than 10mi.

 

ah the infamous train wreck that fawked up all those pretty little TSXs

so you're saying that front-end came from that Wis. guy ?

 

yeah

 

weird... looks like a photochop to me. How could you have that strip of windshield? And the pieces of the pillars?

 

it could be...but itz probably not.....cuz i see the reflections of the background on the car hood and the shadows cast on the ground makes sense.....but then again it can be done by a skilled photoshop user

 

your 16 and u bought that car by yourself? is that what u said?

 

yeah I have a job from 7am to 3pm to pay for it

 

More power to you man but it does sound kinda shaky. Just doesnt look like you should be putting two "bad" cars together to make a "good" one . Hope it all works out for you in the end and keep us posted.

 

well Charlie (the body shop owner) got the front end and the Yokohama Tires today. He's gonna finish 2 other cars in his shop and my car becomes number 1 priority on Tues. Im happy I get paid tomorrow but then I have to give it to Charlie, but hey a TSX is worth it.

 

It looks like someone literally chopped the front off at the A pillar, looks perfectly real to me

 

He did, he ordered the part from Honda.

 

part ? what part you talking about now ?
you just said he ordered that FRONT-END from the train-wreck guy !

 

yeah the train wreck guy got it from some insurance company. scratch my last post I didn't know what he was talking about

 

i guess u dont go to school huh?

 

It's summer.

 

I guess a minimum wage summer job pays for a busted up TSX

 

how do you know minimum wage?
