you should see how tsx's look when it's almost full slam cruising down the road. hehe. if i have time i'll go dig up some pics of our recent cruise pics and post up...or drew will. i'm surprised he didn't post up anything from aug show and our team cruise yet.

anyways, yes, car will be going back to stock, so everything is coming off. with the exception of the amps, i'm probably gonna keep that for whatever i get next.

Pictures of your guys cars slammed while rolling would be sick.

Let me know when you begin to sell your parts, I may be interested in a few of them.

I doubt he's riding like that on road, pretty much he has a airbag system with one push in button the car will rise and go.

you'd be wrong.

if the sparks don't fly, you're riding too high! haha. tsxdriver and hawaiianstyle can vouch for my daily driven ride height (i gotta say, kev rides damn low for being on coils!)

Those shots are so sick!!! Haha, I love your philosophy on how low you should ride. I would ride that low, but out here where I live in Cali, roads can be nice and then all of a sudden crappy with dips everywhere.

Beautiful TSX, hate to see it go...

Wow, I can't believe you are rolling like this, I guess road in Hawaii must be pretty nice and paved.

But your rolling shot car height is still higher than your show height by a bit.

actually, the roads on oahu are the complete opposite of nice and smooth. ask any of the hawaii guys how the roads are. it's all fucked up. i think we just have a different mindset than mainland people. i see posts all the time saying "i wish i could ride that low but the roads suck" or "i wanted 19's but got 18's cause the road sucks". trust me...our roads suck. getting over the fear of being that low is the hardest part, believe me, i know. you'll eventually learn how and where you can drive your normal routes.

yes, i do slam a little lower at shows...but i have ridden lower than in the pics above (tucking rear rim). i just didn't have time to dig through all my friends pics to find it. all you guys can ride lower, you just are too scared to try. dooo itttt, you'll enjoy it hehe.

Speechless dude, really.

I always did have a thing for your car, especially those wheels. I have more than a few shots of it in my "TSX" pictures folder.

Hats off to the 808 crew (again!).

he would be correct. Some of the people gotta get over the fear of roads. Honolulu's roads suck a$$, but, its part of the price you pay for wanting the look. I try to ride as low as i can on coils, but i already rub going through some dips, and i scrape the bottom of my front lip everytime i come in or out of my driveway...lol....tsxinhi does def ride dirty!!!!

what part of new york? i've been to nyc and all around that area, and then up by niagara falls, and in to connecticut. the roads are not bad. we honestly have worse stretches of road than up there. i would ride at the same height as i do down here. it seems like you guys are scared to even put one scratch in your lip. as long as the scratch is underneath where you can't see it, it's all good. just gotta man up and stop being a pussy haha

Not so much the general nyc area.

Upstate NY has some streets that would make the beat up roads down here look like a walk in the park.

Which makes sense because every winter it gets worse. You have various cracks in the roads, water seeps into these cracks. When there's freezing temps the water turns into ice and expands, thus making the cracks worse. Eventually lifting up the asphalt and creating huge potholes.

Bad roads in Honolulu is just a result of the city not giving a hoot. IMO

Why are you getting rid of the tsx?
