CU2 Dan

Sup guys,

Finally joined this site. Been a lurker for a while now. I recently sold my 2006 TSX and picked up 2013 TSX SE in white. Did a few mods already and more parts are on its way. Hope to help out the this community since I been in the Honda scene since 1995
Let the pics do the talking.....

Latest pickup...2013 TSX SE in white. Few mods...JDM grill, Type S headlights.




My weekend track toy (Not a Honda)







My past rides...
2006 Evo MR




1993 Honda Prelude VTEC



1997 & 1998 ITR (Had both and sold them both after attempted theft on both at the same time ...these were the most fun cars I've ever own and drove)







Started own CF parts business back in 2001 with two ex-friends JDP Engineering (Never do business with greedy people that only care for money)

Here's my old DA Integra sedan with B18C swap. Lip that I made to start the business.

Nice SE. Where'd you get the headlights and grille from?

Welcome! Saw your post on the other tsx site. Hell of a way to start off here

How much did those headlights end up costing all together?

CU2 Dan

Thanks...about $8 0 0

MrOtocinclus

Great looking cars, almost makes me wish I wasn't moving to a place where I'll never have a car, let alone multiple ones.

mrgold35

Are the headlights still HIDs or Halogen on the TSX? They look Bi-xenon?

BobbyC

look out! we got a baller over here! hehe



i had a 98 ITR (#156). never had problems with people trying to steal it.
ive parked that thing in some shady places too.
great car!


LOVE the type s headlights!

TSXy Luster

Love what you've done with the car!

Ever consider selling your services in getting and installing those lights for those in the US? :x:

BobbyC

^^installing is the easy part.
finding and paying form them is the hard part
lolz

i like em but theyre not worth the price.
the USDM lights do me just fine.

CU2 Dan

Yes the Type-S headlights are Bi-xenon so no more stock halogen high beams. These are not direct plug & play. I made custom adapter harnesses with Honda connectors to make them work (good thing I gathered spare harnesses & connectors throughout these years from past projects)

The corner lights are actually cornering lamps (halogen - H8) which stays on when you signal that lights up that area. I haven't wired this feature yet since our USDM cars didn't come with that module.


I figured out a relay configuration for this but I am thinking of converting the cornering lights to basic parking lights.

welcome man. i saw you on the club a while back, glad you made it on to here. the 2nd gen section is much more alive over here!

CU2 Dan

TrojanTSX

Nice rides!

Agree with you on the Type R. Probably the 2nd best handling car I ever owned. I got rid of mine since I was tired of being followed home all the time. 1 out of 2 of my year (2001) were being stolen.

How do the bi-xenons work? I assume its a different bulb? Does it require 2 ballasts? Also, the white lights you have turned on i assume are DRL? Are the LEDS built into that section of the headlight? Those are badass. I want to pay you to get me a set with your custom harness =)

tobwac

sweet cars and mods

so you can get us clear reflectors from type s so we can get rid off orange one?

Sick headlights. Would love to have them

Wish Honda goes retro with 90's style body. In 10 years, it'll probably recycle back.

there's a plug on the back of the headlight that you have to rewire and whenever you trigger it, it flips a small shield in the projector that makes the low beam turn into a high beam.

savclaude

damn headlights are so sick

JR_Rider

Yeah those headlight are FIRE!!

DAM, THAT MUST MEAN THEY'RE HOT! penis

jeroplex

Wait wait...did you say you started JDP? Someone's that mean more cu2 parts? Lol

ssjoeboe9

Wow, I'm super impressed.. starting a business is not easy at all!! Did you stay with the company or decide to do your own thing?

I would be making custom parts for my car allll the time lol

CU2 Dan

Actually they bought me out after my so called friends took my resources. Since I was finishing up my engineering degree during the time, I wasn't able to help with sales all day long like them. At first I thought they can help with me sales while I developed the products. Little did I know they just wanted money and not a true car enthusiast.
Too bad they missed out on the chance to join me in my import/export business.

...and this is my full time job...using my composite knowledge.

MC MiYoung3269

Stak would love that up his butt.

julius071

Loving that front end. Knowledge is power! Congrats on your personal business!!! I am bookmarking this thread.

Love those headlights!

Vinny_P

Nice car and car history. I absolutely envy the headlights. Wish I had the balls to start up my own company, always dreamed of working on cars when I was growing up but found myself in auto manufacturing which isn't the same if you get what I mean. I am a Mech Eng. by the way.

How did you source the headlights? I am sure Honda Canada would nip the transaction in the bud if I went through my dealer to source.

Did you end up getting the German spec. to have the proper headlight aiming? If you have a part number, let me know as I would be interested in this for a future project.

my wifes 96 accord coupe had this feature sort of it was a white bulb in the corner of each bumper and when the turn signal was on it light up that side.

your car looks amazing by the way
