European Mods

I have an 05 TL Navi with just under 70,000 miles. Next year I'm planning on moving to Sweden and I'd like to ship my car there, can anyone tell me what mods I'll have to make so that I'll be able to drive it there.

Thanks,
Scott

You will need a supercharger and a nice set of 18 inch wheels. Legality wise, check to see what side of the road they drive on and if the TL meets their DOT standards like day time running lights.

Be better to ask the Swedish wouldn't it?


I'd start with the Swedish Bikini Team forum, but that's just me.

If you need DRL's, you can just make the inside aspect fog lights your DRL's, and if you want them as fogs, they will always be on with the headlights. Alternatively, you can have them switched and have the Accord foglights mounted in the lower grilles.

They drive on the same side as us, you don't need DRL's, but I need amber turn signal indicators in the tail lights. Is there a mod kit available for that?

Look at clear tail lights and an amber lens. The tail lights are led so changing them out to yellow might be tough.

The taillights are LED but the turn signal that he needs to change is just a bulb. you can always send out tails to get customized with a yellow turn signal.

I think you need to prepare North weather
1. Check and if necessary change coolant
2. block heater
3. Weather tech floor mats
4. Rust corrosion prevention bottom car
5. Check and in needed change motor oil
6. Set of winter/summer tires.

before doing that I suggest check forecast in the area where are you going, what kind of roads there?
Possible find forums Honda enthusiasts in Sweden.
May be you need Jeep or SUV There? Again depends of the area
Acura is only USA brand. Honda doesn't have it in Europe.
IMHO:
Check the budget. May be easiest way to sell your Acura here and get Honda Accord there (same as Acura TSX)
