godfather2's build & showoff thread (Update: Real Pics Page 8)
acurazine,
took some really quick pics of the car this morn before walking into the office. car is filthy from sitting at the shop for about a week, but you get the idea. better pics will come soon as i intend to detail the tsx before a local meet here fri night.
any questions,
vinny

still have a srs light, dunno what the issue is really
seats are great, most comfortable aftermarket seats i've ever sat in
aluminum exhaust is roughly 17 pounds with better piping than greddy evo 2
stock like exhaust tips for stealth
magnaflow muffler and resonated mid-pipe (no mid-muffler)
rotora bbk is beautiful and stops effortlessly
rear calipers in black look good too
ah, black buddy club lugs to finish it off
oem-ish fogs
custom springed ksport kontrol pro dampers (10/6 kgf/mm, on softest setting for now)
lowered another 1/2" - rides nearly identically to tein basics, maybe a little bouncier
elated to say the least and i'm not done yet
special thanks to EXCELERATE PERFORMANCE and LHT PERFORMANCE

new seats are approx 28lbs each and the oem units way a TON! easily 45-50lbs.
not sure what my old greddo evo 2 or oem exhaust weigh, but definite weight savings there too.
buddly club lugs are lighter than stock, but i'm unsure about the bbk.
coilovers are slightly lighter than tokico/tein combo (didn't get em on a scale, but you can feel the difference).
overall, the car lost a few pounds, improved it's overall look and comfort, and is a better performer =)

haha that's just the box with my old suspension setup in it waiting for a new owner!
the k sports are terrific! almost unlimited adjustibility and with my custom springed setup, it's pretty damn comfortable.
the dampers were set to full soft all the way around, but today i adjusted them just a bit:
3/4 soft in front and 7/8 soft in rear
i have as compliant a ride now as i did with the tein basics, but the car truly feels planted in the corners ... just phenomenal
who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? i have dialed in my suspension, retained smooth ride, all at a no-brainer price!!!

pics of aluminum exhaust with magnaflow resonator and mufflers:
too heavy for me and huge tips ftl
rt cat owners beware - had to have the flange re-welded on as it was leaking on itself (pretty upset about this since this is already my 2nd one)

^ that's what i'm going for. i'm gonna keep it simple, though. i need to maintain daily driveability and reliability.
i'm working on a professional detail and photoshoot with some bikinis too ...
