Impact around 20mph on drivers side front bumper. They're replacing front bumper (dented), the Styrofoam piece in front of the metal bar (broke since it took force of the impact), drivers side headlight (has a scratch), both foglights (both bezels have scratches when bumper fell on concrete but theyre replacing the entire housing), grill (has a scratch), air deflector, the metal bar itself (no damage but they're replacing it anyway) and some random plastic pieces. Going through the Acura dealer collision shop and theyre only using new OEM parts. So headlight, foglights, grille, metal beam (no damage)

Back from Canada... My experience was mehhhh for my first trip. Border asked weird questions about ever being finger printed and acted like owning weapons was a bad thing( even though we had none.) Got screwed the first night with not exchanging our money right at the border so they took our USA money 1:1 even though US is worth 16c more... Oh well haha live and learn.

Other news, Detroit auto show was awesomeness! I would recommend everyone go if they have a chance! New NSX looked on point!!!

Joe, in the future you should exchange before you even leave your home town. Goto a bank or something. Don't get raped by the border feds!

It's a rare piece of metal, but it's too loud for my taste.

I still don't have a bank in OH yet

and.. I'm pretty sure our banks around here don't do that (have other countries' money on hand, but I guess I could be wrong about this.)

You will need to either move your OEM top hats over to the coilovers, or buy new OEM top hat parts and assemble them yourself. I've done the latter. It was fairly cheap, and was very easy to do. I recommend doing this if you don't want to take the top hat off your existing OEM suspension. Recommended if you want to easily go back to stock (simple swap of the coilovers back to the OEM suspension).

Visit the popular Acura dealerships' website for diagrams and parts to confirm which parts you need when you select the TSX wagon as your vehicle. Or, you can get the parts from your local dealership, but they're likely going to charge you more than than say, acuraexpressparts.com or the similar.

Yeah definitely has to be a rolling start or that AWD will eat you up. But rolling start he has a chance, because his goal is 300whp. STi stock will not be pushing 300whp.

From a roll joe is going to shit on any stock turbo sti on the street it's not even close... Scoobies are not known for their top end and a lot of that 300 crank hp gets lost in that awesome drivetrain
