Thanks again for the V6 vents!

 

yeah and add the V6 vents and lower center grille too LOL





how about the sway bar......I miss that/

 

Well not sure if it makes you feel any better, but I love it. Not quite sure how I drove the car without it before. I only wish I had gotten the SE liner and things off you, but eh I guess I should stop spending money on this thing

 

What's different about the center grile?

 

I think it has more holes/vents than the I4 one, which has some fake holes like the foglight vents.

 

yeah thats right....all holes.

I never got around to buying the center part. kk had one I dont know if he ever installed it.

The v6 fog vents let lots of air in and on the drivers side, air right into your intake area whether cai or oem deal.

I had the chrome fog shrouds color matched but of course they had a few chips.
so I found a set of black euro ones on the BM and snapped them up.

I never liked the chrome so they were perfect for me.

 

Yeah, I just installed the Open V6 ones. Never knew about the center grille... Those blocked out holes have bothered me so I might look into tracking one of them down!

Still on the fence about the silver fog light trim. They don't look bad on the FSM car, IMO so I'll probably stay with it. They do take a beating though, in just a few thousand miles there are quite a few chips already.

 

Yeah I'd love to have the OEM euro black fog covers. Had to settle with plastidip for the time being didn't turn out bad actually, but obviously not like the smooth OEM feel.

 

got to meet and hang out with our very own CU2VR1 this weekend!

a friend calls me up and asks me to meet him up at a vinyl shop.

I get there and I'm hanging out, when I hear a name being thrown out that I recognize.

turns out, VR1 came to the shop to get his grille vinyl'd. totally random!





that was saturday.


then on Sunday, I went to cars and coffee. I get a direct message on instagram showing me this pic!

Never kept a car stock this long (only tinted windows). Still happy with her, just need 100HP more.

 

So...

supercharger then?

 

Kid 3=Land Cruiser.

 

I'm here for the gang bang

 

I'm here because Honda is the best car manufacturer EVER!

 

Bosses monitoring your internet activity again, eh?

 

Actually... I wonder about that sometimes haha.

Anyways, I'll always be a Honda fanboy. It's in my blood now.

 

How often do you guys wax? I finished polishing the front part of my car and topped it with meguiars ultimate wax about 4 months ago. It's still beading water I believe:

I'm kinda lazy... Once before winter (which I've done a couple of weeks ago) and once after all the snow is gone.

 

here in texas, I generally found the 2 cool seasons opportune times to seal or wax the car.

waxing or sealing the car during autumn is important because it will protect it during the harshness of winter.

usually by the spring time rolls around, the sealant or wax will begin to fade. apply once more and you'll be protected against the sun during the summer!

also, fall and spring time are generally a lot cooler, giving you a better chance of applying product without it being too hot or too cold

 

I usually do one thorough detail in the spring after all the salt has been washed off the road. M105/205 as needed. Seal with 2 to 3 layers of the klasse twins over a few days. I also mix klasse sg into a megs quick detailer to use as a top up. I'll then wax once a month or so thru summer and fall. That usually puts enough layers on to get me thru winter to restart the cycle.

In the past I'd use Jetseal or Collinite exclusively and that'll get me thru everything, but it doesn't quite make the CBP pop. Need that carnuba.

The DA has also made me lazy and spoiled. Can't do anything by hand anymore.

 

I havent washed my car since i put the bumper on lol
right now the whole car is grey

 

I haven't used my porter cable in like 2 years. Need to bust it out.

 

So Joe you really are leaving us for the Subaru community

 

I had a sweet trade going for a 2011 STi.. I was gunna do trade plus 3500. Unfortunately the guy used me for a test drive. He backed out saying he didn't want to worry about aftermarket parts breaking (if you were afraid then why waste my time??) Anyways the day after he told me no deal, he updated his craigslist add to say trade for manual TSX or TL only.

So I'm still here haha

 

wow what a dick

 

Wait why did he add manual tsx or tl when yours is a manual?

 

That's the point... He specified after he drove my manual. As in, he already knew he didn't want my supercharged TSX but wanted a test drive to see if he liked everything else.

 

I dont even get that tho, he'd be getting the faster car out of the deal. Why would he not want to do that?

 

Cuz he's a big dummy!

 

Well the guy wasn't a car guy at all. I knew more about his STi than he did. I tried asking what his target boost was, and if he was reaching target, or overboosting... he had no idea. Asked what kinda whp gain he got from the mods.. he said he didn't know the accessport had that function.

From my understanding, this is/was his only car (which he bought new out of college) he owned and it seemed like maybe he had a friend tell him what to buy, and that was that. All in all, I think I overplayed the unique-ness of my build ( I was only trying to say that this car is really cool, because there aren't very many TSX's modified like this). I think it scared him, he mentioned he was nervous something would break and wouldn't know how to fix it.

I'm a little butt hurt, but ehhhh I can't say I didn't try... and my car looks on point now haha

 

Cuz AWD > FWD I guess

 

I testdrove a Quattroporte GTS this weekend for fun. That giant car's got some nice acceleration! I was going 70 on a backroad and it felt like nothing at all. So nice and smooth at any speed.

Maybe I'll trade in my tsx for one.
