wow, looks great. looks to be in amazing condition

 

thanks. appreciate it

overall it's great. little things here and there from the previous 2 knuckle-head owners I've corrected and will need to correct.

 

Love the white/black combo, I'm jealous! Looks great! I'm new on here too, just took over my wife's cl9, its black/tan...hate tan interiors but oh well

 

nice tsx. wasn't digging the original rims, but the new ones are nice

 

Thanks fellas. the wheels are OEM Acura TL wheels

 

Bought the car in Feb. '13. Finally got around to cleaning the headlights up. Did one headlight last night... variations of matt spots, scratches, dullness, etc... going to do other side tonight. Never cleaned/polished headlights before. Just took my time and just let the abrasives do the work. Went slow.

Wet sanded w/ 2000, 3000, and 5000 grit sand paper w/ foam block. Then polished.

Before (driver side example):

After (passenger side, this was alot worse than driver's side for some reason):

 

 

New project for me:
-45' L x 11' wide (tandem garage)
Will be cleaning thoroughly and painting walls and adding more lighting. Possibly will build and mount tire racks on back wall for (8) winter wheels/tires. The water damage in the rear corner was from a faulty down spout which I have corrected.
Garage will only be used to house the vehicles, vehicle related items, tool box, and push mower. There is a 25'x13' workshop in the basement for any other typical "garage" needs (fabricating, lawn/garden tools, general storage, etc...)
Test fit of vehicles (numerous items in garage that will not be there long term):

 

Looks good with the tl wheels first time i see them on a tsx. Jus needs to b more low i wud sayy

 

Plus the lip kit

 

Thanks man. appreciate it

can't go any lower for me. too many goofy approaches in Pittsburgh. plus I frequent ski reports all winter... don't need a lip kit being a plow either... haha

 

 

Removed the oem wing today


got new tires


new lugs installed

 

 

I liked the wing better, but either way it's still a TSX. Now find a non-drilled trunk and get rid of those holes!

 

we'll see... doubt I ever will... too much money for a trunk. Just happy with getting the wing gone.

 

 

still looking great man! actually looking into getting a tsx in spring for my new daily. maybe we can meet up in spring for some pics.

 

thanks. appreciate that.

And sounds good man.. they're few and far between w/ black leather and manual trans.. my buddy just got a black on black '08 w/ nav and 6M last week... got really lucky, was at a Honda dealer in Johnstown. 1 owner, spotless. He'll be doin same susp. as me... I think he's getting 17x9 rpf1's in spring too...

 

Pickin up lunch this morning

 

yea should be a challenge but i am sick of settling. 6 mt with black leather and navi. open on exterior color.

 

Swapped manifold covers with the cr-v

 

Winter preview:

I changed my rear endlinks to MOOG units last night... geez those things are just about as thick as the sway bar itself (I have a TL unit as well). Awesome that they have jerk fitting so they can be regulary greased. Really heavy duty design... tremendous qlty

 

Your wing had a the high mount brake light. Does your car have another on rear deck/did you need do any wiring to have a 3rd brake light?

 

the cars come with one in the window. that is unplugged when the oem wing is installed. its harness is plugged into that. so all i did was replug the brake light in the rear window

 

pretty warm last weekend, 60 degrees, washed the cars and summer wheel setups in the garage. it was raining all day though




changed the oil and MTF on Sunday and also trimmed the engine cover under the car, it was warped from heat

 

WOW keepin it clean in the Burgh. That's a lot of work with this weather.
That's real talent.

 

welcome new pittsburgher ^^^


@jon. snowing to often this year , cant keep up with these salt trucks!

 

Haha... thanks fellas. Appreciate it

have been hearing creaking noises from the clutch pedal, just installed a new cmc a few weeks ago so I knew it had to be the bracket
my buddy welded the seams. fixed it. a lot more sturdy with less deflection. the entire pedal throw is more smooth

 

Ski's came to work with me yesterday... headed up to the resort after work

 

Roads around here have been steadily like this since Fri.
