Alright, so I have about $2,500 saved up that I can comfortably spend and I wanted to get some opinions and what you think I should get. I plan on getting all this stuff later this summer. I'm torn between several things, but here's my option list. I don't have to spend all of it as you will see in some of my 'options' but just give me some feedback.



Option A:
-Hondata Reflash
-Tein Basic Coilovers
-Comptech RSB
-UR Pulleys


Option B:
-OEM Underbody Lip Kit
-Tein Basic Coilovers
-Hondata Reflash


Option C:
-Advan Kruezer Series X 18"
-Comptech RSB


Option D:
-Nikon D300
-Maybe a 18-200mm or 70-300mm...not sure on lens yet




What do yall think? Like any of the options?? Have something completely else to suggest???

 

The lip kit will make any car look much better

 

according to your user title, put in the bank. Otherwise i'd go with A

 

Lol...I've been saving this over the past 8 months or so. The rest has gone into classes.

I intentionally put a little away each month so I could have a little fun like this. And now I finally can do something.

 

Honestly, I think performance mods on a TSX is kinda a waste of money...
Get the rims and the kit and call it a day.

 

Buy whatever it is that you'll enjoy the most, whether it be car mods or a new camera

 

Tein SS coilovers ($900)
RSB ($120)
OEM lip kit ($750)

That would be the reasonable thing to do, however I always tend to knock out the most expensive things first. Im my case, it was the wheels...which took forever for me to get. After that, dropping $900 on coilovers, 1k for exhaust etc..could be done in a couple months. Since you have $2,500 now, i'd get some wheels. Also, if I could do it all over again, i wouldve got a used set and saved a LOT of money.

 

New camera. It'll last you a lot longer than any car or car parts you'll own, and can provide you with a good time-consuming, creative hobby. Of course, all the camera gear in the world would be a waste if you don't have much intention of putting it to good use and appreciating it. If that's the case, spend the money on whatever would satisfy you most, or whatever will get you the most money back when you (re)sell it.

 

 

Not trying to sound overly preachy, but if you still owe on you car I put would put the money towards the note. The satisfaction of a car entirely paid for is much greater than what any accessories will give you.

If already paid for, I would go with option D.

If you have no debt and have emergency money socked away, then option B.

 

Option B.

Probs to you for saving that much money.

 

on paying debt down. Paying interest FTMFL.

 

Nikon =

take advantage of the fact that you CAN get Hondata's reflash... there are a bunch of TSX owners who aren't so lucky.

 

Car is already paid off.
My parents were very gracious and traded in an SUV they had to get me my car.

EDIT: Don't have any credit debt on my shoulders either. Had it happen once....and never again.

 

Lip kit, and slap the hell out of it.

 

 

how the hell did you change your name??

 

Asked Ron A

 

IC

ive been wearing this TSX badge for 5 months and don't drive a TSX anymore

 

^^ noob! You didn't know how to change your name?

 

Maybe find used Tein SS, oem kit, Progress RSB, Cusco sturtbar, camber kit, and Hondata or UR pulleys.

 

I hate it when the wheels are turned in.
It's about as ugly as a baby born from cousins.

 

Lol....I didn't either...had to PM someone and ask

 

fine! good luck replacing tires every 10-15k.

 

I still have my OEM tires and I just broke 30,000

 

If you have to buy something, then I would say the camera or the wheels. Personally, I would save the cash since gas will be $4+ in a couple months.

 

how about this combo:

Hondata - $600
Progress RSB - $140
Cusco strut bar - $180
---------------------------
Total - $920

So you would then have $1080 to spend on wheels/tires of your choice (or maybe a set of coilovers)

When I had my TSX the Cusco/Progress combo made it a lot of fun to drive... took corners like a champ.

 

coils and rims. Camber kit so you don't go through so many tires.

 

camber schmanber

 

save your $ and buy a car that is worth modding. And if not buy a track only car with the money that you can have fun with at hpde's or auto x. why waste it on a tsx?

 

Thats like someone with a GTR asking why waste your money modding a STi or Lotus...

 

both are stock...

I cant fathom him getting anything useful for 2500 in mods to make the car even remotely entertaining on a track, but hey thats just me.

 

some of us cant afford to have 4 CARS! (even though 1 was a gift)

we gotta make due with jazzing up our daily drivers and i think the 2 grand he could spend would make it a lot of fun to drive.

maybe not as much as an elise or 944 with an LS1 swap but... if he could afford to have 4 cars, chances are that he would also be able to drop more than $2k in mods on them

 

he is only 18 years old for sake....

 

Lol. That's pretty much how it is.
He's right. If I could afford four cars.....I probably wouldn't even be driving a TSX.

While these mods I'm considering won't make it into a GTR, it will definitely give it some more aggressiveness and be a lot more fun to drive.

 

do whatever you like to it but trust me... Cusco Strut Tower+Progress RSB = turns on a dime!

 

suspension mods might be an option too..

The TSX is a nice car the way it is... But being a FWD I4, it's not the ultimate performance platform, so modding it is akin to putting lipstick on a pig

If you want more performance, start saving for a real car

 

This was all I was trying to say thanks for reiterating it!

 

maybe he just wants the full potential out of the car he already has.
