Not necessarily TSX-related, but still some interesting (or maybe not) pics. We went up to York PA for the official opening of Wagner Motor Sports . Andy built a custom turbo for my husband's Protege 5, and so it was nice to see some of the other cars that he's worked on.
There were a handful of modded Hondas:

A couple of them I think had b16 swaps, I think.
Lots of Mazdas in varying stages of modded-ness:


The first car is my husband's. You can get a details on the turbo kit with pics here . The car next to it is also a MP3 with a custom kit.

We saw this Evo:

The details of everything done to it is here .

I got to see the 64 Nova that they are working on, but my husband didn't take any pics of it! You can see it here .

The next day, was Mother's day, so my husband and little boy showered me with love and affection:


My custom header is apparently my birthday present, so we will be probably heading up again soon to do measurements, testing, etc., so I will hopefully take some more pics.

 

sweet grand opening and pictures!

 

Nice pics,

 

cute kid!

i wonder how many cars ur husband's Protege5 has owned...the base Protege5 doesnt really conjur up images of speed

 

Thanks for the pics. How great to have a gearhead family. I'm sure there's a heavily modded Big Wheel in your son's future.

Anybody notice the cool old Mitsu Starion in the 2nd shot? I had a gf with one and it was a little screamer. (The car, not the girl. Well, actually, her too.)

 

I think the plan will be to get him Karting as soon as possible, lol.

The Protege 5 is definitely a sleeper, he keeps it looking as stock as possible, with the exception of the Eibach kit. He has some neat track stories.

 

wow ricecake thats tight...i didnt know you were so fine btw...i think of you totally different now muahahaha lol

 

how much for the custom header? O_O

 

It's cool that you and your husband enjoy the same hobby.

 

probably around $400--we are willing to pay a bit more for good work.

oh, do not give your three year old chocolate ice cream right before his naptime:

because if you do so, there will be NO naptime, lol.

 

wow, based on the design of the final product, I would probably be interested in the header.

 

you should definately get a dyno done before and after! when are you planning on getting it?

 

i talked with my friend and he might be interested in doing a header for TSX's either in 321 stainless steel or normal steel but jethot coated (has an advantage of reducing heat emitted from exhaust manifold and lasts about as long as a ss header...4-5 years at the very least)

i'm starting a thread in the performance section to gauge interest...he was originally going to a one-off for my wife's car but now might be interested

as for dyno he is installing one at the end of the summer at his shop now that he has the financing part done (an awd dyno costs ~$90!)

 

some reason it won't let me edit the message i made?!?
