the '50 Chevy is going for $3500

it runs with the original 225k mile inline engine.
I briefly looked into an LS swap just now and that project would be too much for me...

I'd have to swap subframes and do a bunch of custom work.

ive looked in the back of one of their trucks to look at the equipment and I laughed!
its not even brand name equipment.
That was their aim as well. They went into a 7-11 parking lot and quickly came back out of the lot and asked me. Yeah I heard its some cheap shit. They'll show you fake websites online saying it's so expensive but it's worth like $50-100 Smh.

Well, to be fair I still find it fun, I love my car. But if I was looking for something (stock) that would wow me on performance, the TSX wouldn't have been on that list.

I love my car as a DD, and I intend on keeping it for many, many years to come. I wouldn't be surprised if I drove it til one of us died. I'd certainly love to have a second car/project solely for performance/hooning/fun. I just need money....
Same here, it's a fun car and i really do like it especially with the sway bar, grippy tires and hondata.
But for an "entry level luxury sedan" it doesn't even do that super amazingly. Sound system, not very good, tech, not good, features, not that many, push button start? good interior build quality? LOL I wish! (so much plastic wtf)
fixed the tech and sound system issues by changing speakers and adding my n7 Headunit so now it's fine though.

Actually my biggest problem with this right now is all the little stupid rattles and random interior problems.. cup holder not closing, not an ashtray sometimes gets stuck, 12v cig lighter door sometimes get stuck, rear deck is rattling, headliner grabhandles are rattling, etc (those are all common problems also which people have posted about here also)

That's what I'm doing today... trying to fix all the rattles and stuff. My ENTIRE rear deck rattles like a mofo and i didn't even change the sub. Guess i'm gonna stuff it full of microfiber towels lol.

dunno how well you can hear the rattles in this vid but the whole damn thing shakes like a mofo

exactly why those "whole sale audio equipment" guise are scams!

to buy one from out of their truck, you would either need to go to the bank or your home.

who the fuck wants them following you home!?

lul i actually believe that.
My 2g ody handled like a total beast (for what it was) and parents 2010 ody handles fairly well.

I saw a post once where they had done a test, 2g ody vs a few sports cars (some Porsche included). van was stock aside from some decent tires, it beat them all. ODY ftw.

The ody is also faster than the TSX, at least the 4cyl TSX prob not the v6. lololol

EDIT: Ah here it is!

They say it's worth 3k, but only ask for $200-300. They would never sell a single unit if they asked for 3 grand lol.

They could have mugged me, but I didn't even have a single dollar on me. The stuggle.

I forgot why it happens, but somebody told me the fix was to turn the AC off a few minutes before you get to your destination and actually turn the car off. So i started doing that and no AC smells.

God dammit Acura, couldn't even get the A/C system right.

And the funny part is, I usually do turn it off when I'm close to the destination, but the time I didn't was before it started to smell.

Nah, I'm just saying his car is white and it's a black part. I guess it doesn't really matter, it's just the first thing I thought. He blacked out the chrome trim as well.

Why didn't you like it, doesn't look bad.

You have to pull the area surrounding the shifter out to get it fully out. There is a screw in the "This is not an ashtray." You'll have to pull the "cup" part of it out and you'll see the screw. To get the trim surrounding the shifter out, you just pull up on the cup holder door while it's opened.

Maybe the most WTF find. Also saw a stance CR-V. Lol.




Only two 2nd Gen TSX's I saw. I saw two others driving around, but all stock.
