It's your car, as long as you like it.

As for myself, I am going to focus on adjustments to get it into good auto-x shape, and consider a new exhaust. Oh, and Hondata reflash (assuming it actually comes to market).

Now, if you decide to get a Lambo style vertical door kit like Ricecake had on her Fridge, then I'm withdrawing my support.

The car's nice. The wing is still a bit silly, but I think people hold show cars to a slightly different standard so...

BTW..APR does not make a quality product, they make cheep crap that they sell at caldor and kmart. No offense, but apc is probably the lowest quality product there is. When i think of APC, i think of stickers and neon light shift knobs and riced out cars.
Turbo would b nice tho
if u like it then who cares dont listen to ppl like me and enjoy it

I've seen eviljohn's car, and the pics somehow don't do justice. First thing I noticed besides the wing were the rims. I thought they looked really good.

As for the wing, well, we'll see if it really comes to use. I'm looking to getting together with you guys at Shannonville Fabi, it's a 3 and half-hour drive from my place, so it's reasonnable enough to go for a race or 2 next year.

why'd you waste money on the mugen intake just to ditch next year. Waste of money just to say that you have mugen bling?

Yeah, personally I don't think the wing looks pretty nasty on the TSX, but I'm sure I'm eventually going to get some rims or something else I like that no one else will. As long as you're happy with your wing then enjoy it.

yes it is. I didn't tell him not to do it I asked him why waste the money just to ditch it? $980.00 (IF he paid what King sells them at) is a huge amount of money to use just to have to get rid of it right away. Granted he'll get some back by reselling but it still seems like a waste.

I'm not telling him what to do I'm asking him why he did it.

You'll also notice unlike many people I haven't said anything about the spoiler or euro R badges.

I'm feeling the rims, the brakes, the exhaust, the front grill, the Mugen airbox, but seriously, get rid of that wing. The wing doesn't look like it belongs on the car. At least get the body kit before you put on the wing, then it would go a little better. If the wing is carbon fiber, great, but still, it looks like RICE man..... I dunno, if you like it, that's great, but when I saw that wing I was like WTF?

Not gonna give u crap for the wing, but my only two constructive critisim, u defenutly need a body kit, to get that wing to look right, and my honest opinion to match that wing ur prob gonna need the Mugen,,,,that would honestly look sweet... other thing is get a black Hood trim peice, im not feeling the milk mustache...

Besides that Awsome Car man, exaust looks good, Intakes sick, love the rims/ brakes... And the Euro R badges on the side look awsome

I agree with MemRheins. You need to complement the wing with a nice body kit. Something like a Bomex Kit or to that nature. I think the wing looks odd on the TSX because its a four door. Otherwise, nice.

Mugen 5-way coils instead of TEINS.

Nobody's answered his question yet (what are your plans for next year?) so I'll field it...
I'm never modding a car again, got that out of my system with my 4Runner (which could smoke ANY TSX I've seen here (RealTime cars excluded), on a straight anyway, and it was slow in the 4Runner community), so my TSX is done, I just added XM and a hardwired V1, pics coming one of these days.

So instead of modding, I'm adding a Miata to my fleet next year, fun little car. Maybe the mod bug will bite again and I'll add some Flying Miata parts to it since it won't be a daily driver.

Good luck with the turbo, just know I learned the hard way, forced induction is murder on just about every component of the drivetrain. One of the reasons I traded my truck in on the TSX is I had just about burned out a Toyota gearbox in only 78,000 miles, which is no easy feat. Here are a few things I learned boosting an engine designed to be N/A: Make sure your tranny can handle it! If you don't upgrade your fuel system from the pump to the injectors, you'll lean-out and start getting ping in high gears at low RPMs (that means costly ECU upgrades too). And finally, those CAI are your enemy since you'll already be fighting a lean mixture and they have a tendancy to foul your thottle-body with their oil. Go back to the stock airbox and a paper filter.

I don't like how your car looks RIGHT NOW, but if u go with bigger rims (RonJons 18s or 19s), get the oem kit and smash it like u mean it (2 inches lower)... I'm pretty sure you can change a lot of those negative feedbacks you got, that'll include me. Either way, I appreciate how you got pride for your ride, it's all about personality *thumbsup*
