godfather2

i'm going to throw on a larger resonator to eliminiate some rasp and we'll do a dyno soon with the pulstar plugs!!!!!!

godfather2

msaa_2001

wow i can't believe i actually found you...lol.. i thought it was going to take me a while but no...

godfather2

^ lol, at least you already know how to search!!!!!!!!!!!

i told you, i live on this site

SSCOUTURE

very nice rolling shots, nice setup oem/mugen wing looks pretty good.

msaa_2001

lol...

godfather2

thanks! i believe i was the first tsx to do oem lip kit with mugen wing

godfather2

anybody else going to register for HIN tampa?

valeratj

Godfather2, is your car auto?

godfather2

yes

valeratj

did u reflash an 04 ECU to get the reflash? And also, are u planning on a MT swap later on ?

godfather2

^ yes i did the 04 ecu reflash and had it synched to my immobilizer and keys

i do not plan a 6 spd swap ... my tsx is now THE ULTIMATE DD =)

however, i'm searching for the right s2k

fritoLay

godfather2 do you any kind of video?.. in "youtube" or somewhere of your car.
it's so dam niceeee!, love your "Estilo"(style)

valeratj

I am also happy with TSX's auto, to some extend. I am saving up for a reflash now, but new speakers are on their way.... did u upgrade sound system ?

godfather2

- seems as if the pulstar plugs LOST 1hp across the power band (we had to use a different dyno than last time due to a scheduling conflict)

- however, we did 3 runs prior to the plug install and then 2 after so car may have been a bit hot

* the oem ngk iridiums looked like they needed to be replaced

* don't have pics but i got a 2nd (small) resonator installed

* also have a new red valve cover

- avg runs of pre and post pulstar plugs are reflected in the chart below (line with the higher hp numbers are old ngk's)

godfather2

who wants to buy my car?

Audioserf

If you lived closer I'd buy your seats.

Looking to swap into an S2k fulltime, eh?

clee109

all that work and you want to sell so soon?

godfather2

i WILL NOT BE PARTING OUT MY CAR. i haven't formally listed it yet, just gauging interest

and yes, i want a full-time s2k (as crazy as that sounds)

LukeaTron

It doesn't sound all that crazy for Tampa as long as you've got something else to haul crap around in (or you just never haul crap around).

godfather2

not hauling crap around

godfather2

anyone have experience selling a modified ride?

besides listing in acurazine's black market, where else should i post?

how do i gauge my selling price? that's really a tough ? because i have several one-off pieces (INCLUDING A SURPRISE THAT I'M UNABLE TO SPEAK ABOUT)

i would only sell for the right offer, otherwise i'll keep on driving and enjoying my prized possesion.

any help/suggestions/advice would be appreciated,
vinny

LukeaTron

Surprise eh? Will we ever get to know what that is?

Sorry, I don't have much to help you with. I traded in my Civic because I just didn't want to deal with it anymore.

dBski11

surprise??

godfather2

yup i just got the secret mod a couple days ago ... oh well, the new owner will be 1 proud sunuva b*tch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

valeratj

are u selling your car ??? why ????

Audioserf

I'm betting KPro for the surprise mod...

Good luck with the sale. Your car's clean and gorgeous, hopefully you won't have trouble finding it a new home.

godfather2

don't know how i missed your post, but no youtube vids here

godfather2

it's not kpro, but you're close

godfather2

been dreamin of revs to 9k for years now (literally, i'm fixated on it)

and the funny thing is, i can't drive a 6spd for sh*t

godfather2

full-on photoshoot tentatively set for thurs march 3

hopefully those will be the last pics of the tsx with "vinny" on the title

Audioserf

I can't think of a much better manual transmission to learn to drive on than the S2K (or TSX for that matter) 6 speed. It's like butter. You'll have it down in no time.

Also, guess #2: supercharger?

godfather2

man, u gotta know if i put on a s/c that i'd be showing it off!!!

when the car sells, i shall reveal all

MMsTSX

^ pm your price you're thinking of.
I think I just may need a second TSX... for my 66 yr. old dad to enjoy!

seriously.

too bad you're even thinking of selling though...

Audioserf

It would be too cool if your dad ended up driving Vinny's car around. And we'd know it would be in good hands...

MMsTSX

he wants my car.

...

not happening.
so he told me to keep an eye out for one. he said he wants it modded,
he "don't want no stock bullshit." lol.
he thinks our car is perfectly balanced, powerful enough with mods, yet
still economical, and safe and reliable as all hell to boot.

he needs out of his buick pronto.

it helps that I have a garage full of spare parts too...

dBski11

i just wanna know whats so secret that you cant tell people!

valeratj

LOL duh !

rex.

I know the secret!!

He got a trunk monkey!
