Yeah I just picked up an 07 type S and am beginning to feel (due to lack of stuff available) that maybe I should have picked up the TSX. Plus that car is a little shorter and seems to look a little more sporty. It's lighter. Not to mention, everything under the sun is available for that motor.
I may start off by dropping in some new suspension, and picking up the Versus front. I'd like new exhaust, but I actually like the quad tips on the TL-S, so maybe I'll just pick up some new plumbing and keep the tips. Of course, a set of wheels will be mandatory. The factory 17s are disappointing, but at least they aren't too heavy.
I sure wouldn't mind FI, always loved the sound of the BOV, but I guess there aren't enough of us guys who started with our civics and b16s and eventually grew up and got married etc. Not that everyone who owns this car is no longer 18, but probable stats.

Not that everyone who owns this car is no longer 18, but probable stats. Anyway, car bug hasn't left and would like to do something to this grocery getter. Either that, or I need to go pick up a shell and get started on something else. So any turbo kits for this baby? An FMIC showing through that versus front would be killer.

I better not say anymore.

Correct choice? But there is almost nothing out there for it aftermarket? The 07 TL-S has no FI kits that I've found, maybe just a couple bolt ons, which means way more potential for far less on the TSX. Body kits are extremely lacking on the TL-S, which means mine has to look like everyone elses, and so on. If I'm wrong... please point me in the right directions. I hope I'm wrong. LOL!
Also, almost everything I find out there aftermarket says 04-06, what about 07s? Doesn't look like the car changes much to me.

For 07 TL-S?
Comptech Website says:
Supercharger Kit (04-06 TL)
$4,995.00
350-073
or
Supercharger Kit (02-03 TL-S Auto)
$4,495.00
350-062
This is exactly what I'm talking about... 07 TL-S seems to be left out of almost all mods (what little there even is).

At least you've got an RL engine and Mugen plays with the RL engine. Some 04-06 3.2 items fit on your 3.5 as well.
you will def have to call up the manufacturer directly to see what parts fit.

Thanks guys for the help. A CAI, A-spec body kit which every member has, and a set of springs is far from what I plan to mod though. I guess I'm used to having every mod under the sun available (endless differentiating possibilities), and have done too much to past cars. So it's frustrating me that the TL has jack available.
Hey, Drag is in NoHo. They wanted to do a turbo kit for my IS, but I decided against them. Maybe I'll see if they want to make a kit for the TL! :o)
I just love the sound of a BOV!!!

I checked the Versus Motorsports website and it says there is a front bumper available in stock so you should definitely look into that. It's only $299 plus shipping so its hard to pass it up. By the way what color is your Type S?
What all did you have done to your IS300?

Does anybody dare me to be a guinea pig and test this Hope Systems Air-to-Water Intercooler on the J32A4. It's intended for use on the J32A2...not sure how different the two motors are, but i feel it's possible to make it work. There's one for sale in the private sales and trades section.

ACCURATE... that's exactly it... gotta pave the way... I've had all kinds of project cars... Started off with my first car, a 550rwhp Mustang (84 LX, light and crazy fast). That car tweaked the unibody when it launched. 19 years old and that much power = didn't last long. Had a juiced Probe which was a sleeper, a juiced del sol with a swap which made 12s gutted on slicks. Had a turbo civic...blew up a couple motors in that one. hehehe. The IS300 was blown, and had all the usual bolt ons. Would have loved to swap in the 2JZ, but out of the budget. Next was a G35 coupe, which again had all the usual bolt ons, and I was thinking about supercharging that one too. Instead, I sold it so I could have my 20% down when buying my house. Sad to think it only gave me 5%, but thats what I was missing.
Now I have the TL-S (SSM.. Wanted White, but the G was white and tried something else, which I'm regretting too) and the house. Funny thing is, right now I feel like my wifes car is cooler. She is driving an FX35, and I really love it. I've only done audio/video mods in her car so far. That's all shes gettin too! Although I'm always tempted to slap some ProKits and 22s on there. LOL!
Anyway... So my thoughts for the TL-S.... Thinking about Versus Front... A-Spec rear (don't have too many options here), wouldn't mind Tein EDFC setup, but will probably start with some H-Techs and upgrade later when my stock struts go. (The decisions you make when you get a mortgage I guess... LOL). I haven't decided on wheels yet, but I'm scouring the internet, and messing with photoshop. I'm sure some sort of Volk. Would be nice to be RWD and able to slap on a wheel with a nice big lip like my DPE's on my G. Oh well. Next year will be FI, out of the budget for this year. I'd really like an intercooled SC so I could go BOV. Turbos are great, but I haven't personally had the best of luck with them. Of course, I have a bit of a boost addiction though too. It's fun (and $$$) finding the limits of motors. Hahaha!
We will see.... I've been eyeing a few Del Sols for sale. Would love to build another one of those... Dying to swap a K24 into one. Just don't know if my wife will like parking her car out of the garage while I do it.
So that's the dilemma... build a project car up, or build the TL-S. Of course, both would be better.

And thats right you're moving to the Charlotte area right? Let me know when you're here. Not sure how much you're into driving around but you're welcome to come hang out with the car guys on the weekends. My friends will probably be intrigued by your TSX.
