TSXRonald's build progress
It's been a long time coming welcome to my build thread. I've had the car for 4 years, bought it brand new of the lot in August 2010. First mod was the Injen cold air intake then the rest is history.

My son just got innovative engine mounts and the front mount looks like it might fit our cars I need to buy one and try it out, made a torque damper for my car but it vibrates a little to much for my taste

I can feel the whole engine and transmission move now with the added power and transmission upgrades. I need to do something bedore it gets worst. I'm thinking of getting custom bushings for the transmission and motor mounts. Axion said something about making some motor mounts for our cars.

I can't even feel movement lol... I feel (what I would call) transmission engagement, but that's mostly cause my VTEC is at 3000 rpm and if it drops below that and then you are at part throttle it kinda "shifts" the fueling and you feel a slight "kick"

At first I was not a fan if it, once it was it on the car it grew on me. Now I think it's one of the best mods out there for the CU2. Next step is buying a CF trunk and pair it with the trunk lip.
