Sup all?! I got my car, a CBP A-Spec, last November (back in '12). I wouldn't really call this my build or progress thread since I might not be posting a lot BUT I'll update this from time to time. It'll show the bits and pieces (hopefully more than that) of my CU2.

And yes, I know, I still don't have a photo of my CU2 yet LOL. At it's current state, I refuse to take any pictures of it. I'll grab maybe two pics of it when I swap my winter steelies off and back on with my A-Spec wheels.

Now enough talking about what this thread is and is not, or about me not willing to photograph my car in winter mode... Here's a few teasers showing what to expect.



More to come... hopefully... one day... soon?... yea...

Oh and this is my first time modding Very excited! I previously owned a '04 CL7. What can I say? I love'm TSX >

Congrats on your purchase, nice to have another Canadian in the forum.

The deck lid spoiler and the coils will look great on your A-spec. Just be forewarned, the Yokohama Advan Sports tires on those 18" A-Spec rim only has a 180 wear rating, we are talking about less than 30K km (20k miles) wear. Though they are super quiet and sticky.

Out here on the left coast, I have switched back to my 19" summer tires already.

TWENTYNINE

Thanks for the heads up. Over here in TDot, the OEM 18" A-Specs run on Yoko S.Drives, not Advan Sports. Or maybe it's just mine.. lol

not enough mac computers bro.

09TSXTech

You are very fortunate to get an A-Spec as they only made 200 for Canada.

The ones over here in Vancouver has Yokohama Advan Sport on them, just like ttk5 white one. They may have change the spec, but at least the S-drive has a 300 rating and will last a lot longer.

Here's ttk5 one from Vancouver with the Advan Sport tire

I got to have those rims! Does anyone know where I can get them?

TWENTYNINE

LOL True :/ i only have 1 aha

Yea it took the dealer around a month to locate a CBP MT A-Spec. There were only a total of 4 A-Specs left when I placed my purchase last September/October.

Black fusa and tsuna

Lol personally, i'm not a huge fan of these wheels. I think theyre too messy and a lot of newer cars nowadays seem to be rocking similar designs (i.e. BRZ/FRS) lol but then again, to each our own.

apinwp09GBTSX

...did the Toronto Meet ever fell thru???... coming up to Toronto with the car in June for Digital Dreams Concert set up another meet

Mr. NC

Come thru to the Toronto meet date: TBA!

TWENTYNINE

Oh ahaha my bad lol. Yea that black grilles are growing on me, but personally, I really like the OEM silver grille lol (I know eh, I'm awkward... )

Did we decide on a location yet?

Mr. NC

Bitches bein wavy right now! SO that means no not yet...fuck

TWENTYNINE

lol I replied the email but never received anything else after.. lol Derry Airport area is kinda far for me

Mr. NC

I live westside passt ssauga so I gotta travel regardless wherever the meetup is smh....why not jus roll up to speedstar or nextmod or sumtin haha....or PMALL :0

TWENTYNINE

I like the way you think! LOL Once you reach RHill/Markham area, you're in my turf lol and I only attend meets within my own turf because I'm mad lazy for long drives ahahaha jk. i seldom go to meets lol

Mr. NC

I figured as much....LOL...I've been to the Honda Accord meets, they cool but I need my TSX brothers....I havn't seen a modded tsx yet here in the good ol 416....but yeah we need a location asap

TWENTYNINE

This would actually be my first forum meet i'm attending lol. Other meets that I went to were either just to show my friends some support or i got dragged to. Went to ertefa 2 times, got dragged LOL. Went to Nextmod's BBQ, got dragged. Went to OptionJDM's BBQ, my friend used to work there so was showing some support.

I'm cool with the Vaughn IKEA area by 400/7. That would be closer to you too, no?

Mr. NC

Lol for me that would be the halfway point I guess, it would be closer #InForGenericParkingLotPicsAtDnB

TWENTYNINE

We really need to get a date and location down ASAP. If we meet after April, my new wheels should be on. If we meet before, I'd still be on my OEM A-Specs, prob only lowered.

Hoping to get my fitment done for the Fitted meet You gonna reach?

Mr. NC

Ima try...its soon too right? Toobad I am riding dirty at stock height haha
did you get your BC's here?

TWENTYNINE

It's May 25th. L O L i made a thread on the general discussion area about Fitted and there are ZERO replies L O L #fail

And nope, I got it at Maruyichi (MY Racing). The place with the black R35 GTR and the black R324 GTR thats been in some of nextmod's photos. A friend of mine takes pics for MY and got me a decent price for the BC coils

Mr. NC

Oh sers nice! Yeah I need to get coils this summer if anything...Rims take a couple months so I'd miss this season already...but to be lowered would be nice.

Yeah I saw that post...#vialianteffort

TWENTYNINE

LOL well i tried haha. I'd probs be going regardless of being lowered or not. Even modded or not lol just to show some support haha.
You should reach too even if you're stock height. Should be quiet a scene.

Mr. NC

If you come thru I will too LOL

TWENTYNINE

I'm def going haha. That's a fact brahhhh. Rolling there with my boys. My CU2 and I are gonna look so weak rolling with them LOL

Mr. NC

LOL.....I just saw your post again...it doesn't even have an address

TWENTYNINE

Not your everyday non-evo lancer. lol just snatched it off his FB page

TWENTYNINE

o and yea Dave said the location isn't confirmed yet. lol

Mr. NC

Think I've seen this before....my boy used to roll in a CSX Type S he converted to Civic Type R and they were in the same picture....

TWENTYNINE

My other friend's FA5 to FD2 conversion isn't coming out from storage until summer. He doesnt want spring to rain on his car LOL so don't think he'll be rolling in his show car..

I just literally browsed through his fb pictures hoping to see that CSX to Type R conversion, unfortunately no luck

Mr. NC

It was white on either volks re30(?) or ccw classics....it was featured on stancenation too but maybe dif mitsubishi.

TWENTYNINE

Ahhhhhh did Raymond Tran shoot it at Don Mills? Alex Kit i believe was the owner's name.

jeders

OP, nice photos, nice parts, nice computers, where's the full car? lol

TWENTYNINE

LOL I knew I was gonna get more of this ahaha. Car still on winter steelies, not gonna take pics until its in summer mode
