^ to me, this tsx is now the ultimate daily driver!!! thanks for everything josh =)

picked up the car today with new header/cat/speakers/alarm/custom-stitched steering wheel/lowered/exterior detail

dyno was unimpressive do to the knock sensors ... need more fuel at top end (have to find a way to tune now)

i will post driving impressions and dyno graph tomorrow

here's the dyno, as promised

- as you can see the k24 pulls hard all the way to 7k rpm

- we could've easily made more power up to redline at 7600 rpm, but decided against it due to lack of fuel (knock sensors start to go off and limit power above 4500 rpm)

- it seems that i must go kpro now to tune this thing so it's reliable at high revs (though i don't drive it like i stole it)

- there's definitely more power to be had here and I fully expect a gain of 10-15whp with a proper tune and more fuel

- there's a lot of resonance right now, but i'll wait for the new setup to break in/carbon build up to further comment on sound/noise issues

* despite the fuel starvation, i'm rather impressed with the flat tq curve

* we did 6 runs and this was the most consistant (there were others that made a bit less power and one that made a bit more)

STAY TUNED FOLKS as i'm not done just yet

If nbennettksu doesn't accept this offer, than I bet psengsouriya will!

(see TSX paid off. Decided not to get EVO. Instead taking out loan to tune TSX.)

man, usually i think the black mugen wing looks out of place on OEM kits, but it really works in NBP. it's so sleek.

i've always wondered how'd that wing would look with a 07/08 euro-r kit (what i have), but i can never seem to find any pics. anyways, i digress.

Modding's slowed down with the economy, that's why the forums are kinda dragging... that's my theory anyway. That rolling shot is awesome, really great pic man. Car's looking low and mean.
