Sounds really nice but maybe a bit too much droan.
Can you even get traction though or are you pretty much just spinning through everything? hard to tell from vid.

those 2 post in ground lifts must be so nice, we only have the single piston ones at my work ash they are such a pain in the ass sometimes. your car just gets better and better every time i see it. also, the area you live in is stunning.

Ok after a few days of driving, I think I can live with the sound, I'm going to finish wrapping the rest of the exhaust resonators and all, that might drop the drone level a little more, this zero back pressure is a little tough to get quiet enough to live with.
So I'm done with my car for a while, I have several people ready to turbo there TSX's and I need to concentrate on that.

Well it's time to get busy been having fun with the car it loves the cold air half throttle and full boost is so fun.
Installed HID conversion kit in my fog lights and put led bulbs in my plate lights (the best 20 bucks I think I have ever spent what a difference on a white car it glows now LOL), been waiting on a friend at work to help me make a professional video his brother does it for a living, now it's off to fabrication on a couple of kits.

I think the final part for the LSD swap has finally been purchased. I am hoping my mechanic can get my car in and up on the lift to get going. This winter has been brutal, and totally demotivating.

Now you just need to do the AWD swap like that one russian guy did. AWD + Turbo in the TSX would be amazing.

So, I believe I got the final piece needed for the LSD swap. I am trying to line up with my mechanic to get the LSD and turbo installed as quickly as possible.
This winter we have had has been long and brutal, I am ready for it to be over.

Yeah.
Like I had mentioned so long ago, people always talk, but when it comes to money always real tight with it.

Im doing a k24 swap in a lotus elise and I was thinking of that motor because I can get it really cheap and also with low miles
Oh also check out the 9th civic site same exact engine other than engine mount location
http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/index.php lots of info there
the k24z3 and z7 are great motors very tough and love boost over 400 whp I recommend forged pistons and aftermarket rods
