Taking the car to the next step

Well I just got back from my local shop after order a couple new parts. First off I ordered a set of Spoon calipers for my brakes. I ordered a set of recaro seats and some takata harnesses. I also ordered 3 defi gauges for the a-pillar (volt meter, air-to-fuel ratio, and oil presure), then my shop will be making me a custom a pillar mount for them. I also ordered the j's racing single exhaust and gruppeM intake to finish it off. I should have all the parts around june or so but most of the before that.

Eh...when you say you're buying stuff, it's hard not to believe it since you spend money like it falls from trees.

Anything that is mounted near the a-pillar is a bad thing for the TSX. Don't forget the airbag there. But then again, he doesn't care about the steering wheel airbag either...

well I am either removing the airbag since they wont work again once I remove the seats or I am going to get a custom mount done like ones in a WRX above the center console A/C vents.

Damn you got me Jason..i was all excited and everything man.

That is a bad ass list though..

One option for the gauges are the suction cup mounts. I've seen these on a few cars in magazines but never in person. Hopefully someone at SEMA IAS will have some so i can find out who makes them and where to order them from.

respect you working for your mods - must make it all the sweeter when you get those rare parts.

what time is it over their guys? I'm getting my intake tomorrow (its 12am here)

haha maybe he isn't super rich and maybe he is? lol.. i have a feeling almost all the money CCC earns goes to his mods...

btw - can't wait till you do go to the next step, you gonna get a manual conversion so you can put on a JDM shift knob?

Man i wish i had the courage to change the seats... but i'd probably get defected for removing a safety feature (the airbags)... if i build up the courage i'd wanna get some lightweight carbon fiber spoon/bride seats. I'd say the stock seats are damn heavy and they'd be one of the best mods for weight reduction.

fair enough waiting till your out of collage - youll get there and eventually be finished.. is it even possible to be finished?

Haha...pretty funny joke! Just goes to show that no matter what they are always a lot more mods you can buy. I actually want to take a break from modding for awhile after I do my brakes. We'll see if I can do it.
