Dagigu's CG TSX
Hello People, I just took some pictures of my TSX, and here they are...
(sorry for the dirty car pictures, the goddamn sun just doesnt come out recently, i wanna detail my car so badly
)
Mods:
Mille Miglia EV-S (18 * 7)
Conti Extreme Contact Tire (P225/40R-18)
Full Mugen Aero Bodykit
Mugen Sports Suspension Kit
Mugen Sports Exhaust System
K&N Typhoon Kit (Red)
DC Sports Ceramic Header
EuroR Headlamp Assembly
Calipers Painted Black
EuroR Hood Trim (CG)
Osram Silver Star H1
License Plate Bulbs ¡V Philips Blue Vision W5W (does this count!?^o^)
Hondata Heatshield Gasket is on the way...
By the way, could you guys please help me out here
...
I am so ready to get 19 * 8 wheels for my car, I've done lots of research, so far I'm thinking about VOLK GT-C (mercury silver), any other suggestions will be really appreciated.
Oh, and does anyone happen to know the exact weight of 19 * 8 Volk GT-C? I've checked out so many places and everyone told me the different stories, even MackinIndustries' technician is not sure about this
thanks guys

Sweet ass ride dagigu! Not too many people are riding around with the full Mugen body kit so your car is pretty unique. I love the wheels too. 5 spoke wheels are my favourite.

thanks everyone for the compliments
acuratsx03...
the suspension kit is extremely NICE, handling is improved a lot no doubt, feel much more solid when cornering the car, and most importantly, the ride quality turns out to be "much more stock" than i expected, and no camber kit needed is another good thing
as for the exhaust, i didnt expect a super HP/TQ gain at the first place, i dont think Mugen exhaust makes big diff. comparing to Compect or Fugitsubo, but i like the tone/finish/look a lot better, it's more quite but throaty i'll say (i will try to get a sound clip for you guys, but give me sometime, so busy recently^^)
TSXCman...
you can find all the info about Mugen parts thru www.kingmotorsports.com

thanks for the picture, 228...
dont even know VOLK gun-metal color could be that nice, but i bet they used lots of wheel-shine products on those, cuz every gun-metal volk wheels i see on the street dont even look like that
hmmm.....i think i'll go with mercury silver, more classy look and "looks bigger" on the car, haha
Cloud...
www.boomplustoys.net for the EuroR headlight sets
Biker...
haha, you are right, i have to be extremely careful when i park my car now, even on the road, that kinda sux because i didnt expect that low with 1" drop at the first place, Mugen front bumper turned out to be much bigger, owell...i am used to it now^^

i like the front view
the gt series from volk aren't light, so if you were planning to go for lightweight 19's, those won't be your best bet.
i've got 19 inch te37's, and they are supposedly 18 lbs. each.
i have no idea on how much the gt series weigh.
i would get gunmetal on a CG, dabuda2004's car is so freakin nice in real life, the gunmetal of his le28n's match the car well, you can see some pics of his car in the orlando meet pictures in the gallery section

yap, i got it from boomplustoys for $365USD/$511CDN (each), check out http://www.polepositionproducts.com/jdmhonda/cl7.htm, they have it for 605USD/845CAD (pair) which is cheaper, owell...i went for boomplustoys because i've heard some bad things about polepositionproducts
as for the color, damn...still cant decide, haha
dzuy
i know volk-gt series arent that light, but one of the stories i've heard volk gt-c 19*8 is about 20 lbs (good enough for me for 19"), once i can get that confirmed, i'll make the order right away, damn...who can point me to the right direction
i've seen your pictures, they are
NJtsx...
conti's are really nice, should be one of the best tires you can get for that price range, even better than lots of more exp ones

hey, i was trying to find your car pictures, wanna see how volk gun-metal rims look like on a CG TSX, but i got lost, could you point me to a right direction!?
do you think that volk gun-metal color makes the wheel look smaller than they actually are? you know...darker color rims sometimes look smaller
thanks!

as for the rim looking smaller, i think my wheels look smaller because of the lip not because of the color. the oem silverstars that a few ppl have on here IMO, look fine. but i have been thinking about getting 19"s after being side to side with dzuy's and tsx on 19's rides

. yea, the polish lip makes the rim look smaller close up, but driving, it matches the tsx so well.i think i'll stay away from mods for while.

50 days equates to four and a half months, at least it did for me.you should have gotten gunmetal gt-c, it matches well, have you seen dabuda's car. the volk gunmetal matches almost perfectly to the cg.
oh well, can't wait to see it. man you spent some serious dough on your tsx, can i have some too?!?!

hahayap, dabuda's car is hella nice (and accsuper's too), but i still prefer lighter colors like mercury silver, more clean and classy for me, plus not that many mercury silver out there on the street^^

DAAAAYYYUUUUMMMM! I'm sooo envious! I need to win the lottery to afford all that ish....
I havn't been spending money wisley, that's why my baby is bone stock. I'm just in the process of looking for some enkei rims...I want 18's.
Your ride is HOT!...I'm speechless. The only Mugen stuff I have are some "powered by Mugen" decal stickers from King Motor Sports (which I havn't put on yet) and the seat-belt pads.
I wanna be powered by MUGEN!!!!!!!!!
Where you located? You in Canada or the States?
