Allow myself...to intro..duce ....myself

Well I just wanted to say whats up to everyone,
I have been secretly lurking around here
& planning to pick up a TSX

Well I am in the final process of purchasing the vehicle
I found a Black on black 6spd w/ navi for 30k w/ tax etc etc

I've been into ripping apart hondas for about 7 years
Moderated on
Clubsi.com
Ephatch.com
jdmuniverse.com etc etc

I SHOULD have the TSX on the driveway by the end of the week or mid next week

Thanks for all the information and informative posts
& looking forward to posting some nice How to's for you guys & full on part reviews


Here are some pics of my past few vehicles
00 civic ex


02 civic si



04 honda element

Those red seats in the Si are sweet and I love the TL rims on the Element.

Enjoy the TSX
