Hey guys, im new to Acurazine!

I used to be a lurker up until last when i bought my TSX! This is my 2nd Acura vehicle, the other was a Civic with leather aka Integra. so glad Acurazine doesn't have that crowd here...


Here are some pics, they are low quality but wanted to share nevertheless ~ 2004 TSX 6MT
























^ my 1990 Prelude Si.

So im also an admin at www.Preludezone.com; if you guys are interested about learning about Preludes, let me know or visit the site!

Hope to learn and love my new friends at Acurazine! thanks in advance for the welcomes!

^not at the moment, i've already exhausted myself with the old Prelude...im tired of wrenchin' on cars...i just want something that turns on and goes, know what i mean?

With that said, all of these Comptech parts that are available is truely tempting...

More pics~










...and guess what. I've already found the common problems with the 04 model. Condensation in the headlight and the burnt out bulb that lights the driver side heated seat button.

Congrats and welcome. Your 04 seems in really good shape. Nice and clean, the engine bay is impressive.

Nice old school lude man. The TSX looks good too. I know exactly what you mean about wanting a car that just turns on and goes. But here I am 18 months into owning mine and I just pulled the ECU to send off to Hondata... well it was a good 18 months of not messing with it. That's pretty good for me. We'll see how long you can keep the itch at bay.

The itch will get me im sure...but i can control it. I hope.

That's one of the main reasons why i made this purchase. The Prelude itch was insane. I am 1/3 away from doing a h22 swap. I decided enough was enough and i wanted something a lot more easier to drive. TSX FTW!

Thanks for the link, even though it's broken i found your DIY. I was going to post a comment but it wouldn't allow me...i know how to solve the broken blue rubber covers...i'll post the remedy after my 15 days.

And yah, im all around the Island and city...maybe in the spring, we could throw a TSX & Prelude meet?

we have one every year at Christopher Morley State park in Rosyln, here's last years turnout:

Welcome to Acurazine and congrats on the purchase of the 04. I also have the 04 and a 4th gen Prelude with a H22a swap.

Btw, you can get the Acurazine decals from this link. https://acurazine.com/forums/announc...php?f=127&a=12
