Sheefo2k's Wagon
First Acura, first wagon and first FWD car, it's been a blast to drive. it's a zero accident one owner 2011 Sport Wagon with 94k miles. It was very well maintained by the orignal owner and in practically new condition. I added a few things to make it personal and try to enjoy it for a while but it's so hard not imagine it with a set of good coilovers, AP2 tips and maybe a pair of 20/25mm spacers. Anyways, here are a few pictures from the weekend.
Stuff installed:
OEM cargo mat
OEM splash guards
Philips LEDs (interior, doors and license plate)
Gloss black license plate frame
mud flaps
Hitch receiver

Congrats on the recent pickup, and nice photos! I've never seen a gauge cluster look so pretty.
When you decide it's time for the coilovers and spacers feel free to send me a PM or check us out online.

Thanks everyone. This wagon might be the best daily driver period. I searched and test drove many cars before falling in love with this one. Originally, when I started my search for the ultimate DD, I cam across a white on beige?? TSX wagon non technology package. I liked it a little but felt it was missing something while the Mrs completely hated it. Fast forward to 3/4 months later, and a ton of test drives of different automakers, we both fell in love with this black on black technology package right away.

Weather and traffic information are included as part of an XM subscription. I don't have any knowledge on whether or not it is available on other models or options. I figured it was part of the technology package since it's in the NAV menu. It's OEM factory and not aftermarket.

Looks good man! It's going to look even better dropped and with some spacers. And I agree with you that this car is one the best daily because of the practicality, ex cargo space, comfortable drive and good looks!

We took a 1500 mile road trip to Tybee Island, Ga. 2 adults, 1 child and Louis (the Golden Retriever) . The wagon was comfortable and a blast to drive, it ate through the miles.

Finally got around to installing everything. Now,I just need to spec some 235/45/18s compared to the 225/40/18 that are currently on.
Wash and better pictures soon.

The best way I can put it without listing specifications is that they are not too heavy but not on the light side of wheels either.

Looks great man! Curious if you considered the Flex coils and what your experience has been like with the SAs? I'm looking to do a shock/spring upgrade but want to avoid an overly stiff ride.
Hoping to find some level of spring/damper that will get me close to the CTR (in Sport setting not R) that I recently sold.

You'd be surprised, I've heard some horror stories. Brolando has a great write up on his Flex Z experience and from the story he tells, it's easy to have them set up incorrectly (pre-load, bushing clock, etc) and the results are terrible.
I'm looking to refresh my suspension but I definitely don't want to make things worse than stock. Trying to weigh up konis/eibachs vs Tein coils.

After months of going back and forth between 235/45/18 vs 245/40/18, I made the decision to go with the subtle yet OEM size of 235/45/18 and I couldn't be happier. The fronts are PERFECT and the rear could use a 5 or 10 mm spacer but I will have to raise it and roll the inside of the fender first. I couldn't believe how sharp the inside of the fender is compared to all of my previous cars. Normally they are rolled but on the TSX they are not. Anyways, here are the photos.
