heyg uys is the tsx supposed to come out with a aspec or just the tl????

In the new motor trend u see the tl aspec but it says optional other cars is the tsx going to be one of theese optional cars and if so whne is it coming out

 

aspec is coming down the pike for the tsx

retail is round $3000.00 or so plus labor

this info i received from our acura district

parts and service rep.

REDhottsx

 

redd hott wat is around the pike how long any estimate or idea

 

i think the aspec is suppose to come out for 2005 TSXs...not sure tho

 

just picked up my plates at the local acura dealer, in the showroom was a black rsx type-s w/ an a-aspec badge.
looked hot.

 

so I am assuming that we will be able to buy A-Spec parts individually if we choose to do so. or do we have to buy the whole kit and caboodle?

 

Unfortunatley yes...but give it time and we will be able to find the aspec parts somewhere

 

i like thew resx aspe except for the spoiler is tremendous way to big and boxy for that car.. so around 2005 you guys think

 

I posted this message on a different TSX board and was told it was coming but it was going to be expensive.

 

The stock TSX outhandles almost all cars in its class (look at the skidpad numbers). I know, I know, at the limits the torque steer from the front drive setup is a bother, but let's table that discussion.

Why would anybody spend $3,000 primarily on accessories to improve handling when this car really needs more go-fast parts?

It must be the special A-spec steering wheel and badges.

 

My question would be if the cost is over $3,000, then why not go for the TL, which will be about 2-3K extra. The TL is alot more care for the extra $$$$.

 

lol i have the money to get both i choose the tsx casue i donot like the new tl body styles and the interior isnt as nice..the tsx is a much nicer lookin car it just doesnt win in hp thats all ic are about for the tsx and i think if they make a aspec for the tsx it will have a big engine change but thats just me

 

A Spec will not give you a better engine for $3000.

 

I just want the A-spec bumper now that I realize it is the same as the Modulo Voltage Bumper OEM suspension components would also be very nice.

 

A-spec package TSX's will be in showrooms later this Spring. They are already on order at some dealerships. Mine has 3 on order now. Looks to be the same deal as the RSX and TL. All looks and handling.... no power mods.

Will it be possible to buy the A-spec kit as an aftermarket option? How about pieces of the kit if some parts are ugly or whatever?

 

From what my dealer said, you can add "A-Spec" later - it's added at the dealership. I don't think Acura will produce A-Spec's off the factory line.

 

I'm hoping I'll be able to pick and choose the A-Spec parts. Chances are I won't want the steering wheel and some of the other interior crap.

 

They can be put on at the dealer or orderd with package installed already

D.

 

Oh, A-spec, how I want you to be released......

 

lol has anyone heard anythign new like when this spring its goin to come out?? hopefully april lol heheh

 

yep, i'm just interested in the a-spec suspension.

 

Hmmm.. do u guys think I should wait until the 2005's are available to buy the TSX's? or will there be no major difference?

And if any difference, what do u guys think it will be?

Thanks

 

The 2005 will be a turbocharged V8 AWD platform so it's probably worthwhile waiting.











Try a search.

 

05 will have an A-spec package option....nothing more at this point is on the plate for 05 for the TSX platform.

saw the RSX A-spec at my local dealership this morning...looks ok, nothing special about it...just underbody kit, high spoiler, sport suspension, and 17" rims...they were charging $4200 for the package...didnt take pix but there are some here

I like the A-spec look. It's not like "OH MY GAWD, FRIED RICES!!!!!!!" but the look is a little sportier than stock. I also like that you have a sportier look without sacrificing the everyday drivability like you would dropping down the car until the kit is less than an inch off the car. I'm a bad enough driver as it is, I'm afraid I'd bottom out the factory kit with frRICEning regularity, much less anything less than 6" off the ground.

 

Not to mention you get that look and improved handeling all keeping 100% of the factory warranty.

 

WHoa WHOA WHOA DAN ARE U SERIOUS TURBOCHARGED AWD V8 OMG AND HOW LONG U SAY 8 months??

 

I want a turo v8 awd tsx...... how much 50g's?.....

 

hey dan how long till this beast comes out???

 

OMG... I was kidding!

 

hahaha, it comes out when i get my 20 inch chromes on my ride.

 

LOL that thread was a lot of fun JiggaMan! I should have photoshoped them on to see what the damage would be. Maybe we should have a ghetto TSX photoshop competition.

 

o man lol i feel like shit now but i heard that it was true lol
