As tobwac said, I do custom lighting and installs. I also work with sales for OEM ACURA parts with the lowest prices around.

thanks guys, AckTL05 i sent u an email describing what im interested in. I definetly want my headlights done asap. Such a small mod but makes such a big difference in my opinion especially on the PWP
CU4...cylinders later!
Hey, just wondering... is the orange defuser thing inside the headlight one or two pieces?

Sweet bro!!! I like, I really do. Keep up the good work. I'm getting the TBS, pulley set and v-belt installed Friday (already have the Takeda intake installed). As soon as I get that ported intake runner in (which is out of stock at the time) I'll get that installed also, along with a dyno. I can't wait bro, I can barely sleep at night.

are they underdrive pulleys or lightweight pulleys? You should head over to 8th accord, i recently bookmarked it and they are all doing the same mods you want to have done already, they have the same engine so the installs are the same, and you could search for their threads and see the ups and downs to all the pieces listed

keep the following in mind, if you already ordered the pulleys, underdrive pulleys are lighter and great while you are running, but when you idle, they dont pump as much juice to your electrical components as your stock pulleys, so when you stop at a light your lights might get dimmer and shit, the interior lights will fade a bit, and your a/c will gently blow on you like its whispering in your ear

I learn something new everyday, thanks dude. I don't run my a/c anyway so I'm not to concerned about that. As far as the lights getting dimmer, will that cause a problem or is that just how it is?Originally Posted by KillerG

no prob bob, that will not really cause a problem in the short term, but if i am remembering what i read correctly basically it goes like this, sending a lower amount of voltage to the electrical doodads will cause them to wear out more quickly than normal (either due to increased demand on the component side due to decreased supply or something else, i dont remember), but it will be something so small that you might not have issues for like another 100,000 miles of gradual minimal wear
this is also stuff i read up on when looking into it for other cars so on our TSX it may not be an issue, it may be an issue, who knows. Maybe the 8th accord guys have had some success or failures with it, but our electrical system is slightly different, so we wont know until someone tries it, there is a possibility that absolutely nothing will get dimmer and it will be nothing but awesome all around, but thats something we are gonna find out from you
or you know, you could install the pulley and your car could explode
(joke)

Lmao!! Thanks for the advice bro. I got my TBS in the mail yesterday, I should have the pulley set and v-belt in tomorrow sometime (I hope). As soon as they come in I'm going to get them installed. As soon as the intake runner and thermal gasket get in (intake runners were out of stock at the time) I'm going to get them installed and throw a dyno in with it..... I feel good about the mods and have high hopes for the gains. I'll post pics of installation and the dyno printouts of course.Originally Posted by KillerG
