Another thing i might add. Use the money saved on a 250 and get yourself some nice gear. Nice protection will go along ways in a getoff.

My new camera, Let the car photo shoots begin! Think this will be a little bit of a learning curve coming from a point and shoot though lol.

bluecarbonfiber

MattB07TL

I have the same camera. What lens is that? I currently have a 17-55mm and 50mm.

Looks like everyone here has a Dslr. Maybe we should have a photoshoot meet. lol

ever since i upgraded my camera, i stopped shooting less. and last time i used was back in september '11

bluecarbonfiber

i still would like a fisheye lens, a 50 lens, and a bigger flash

Now that you have a few miles on it, how is the ride compared to the other cars you have?

In my Type-S I tense up when hitting pot holes. I haven't felt relaxed going over a bumb in a couple years.

Just wondering how stiff they really are

MattB07TL

Think its a 18-200mm lens

Ken1997TL

The front suspension is fairly stiff, the rear is not stiff at all. Honda did that to reduce bump oversteer.

I'd say in some situations it is less jarring than your Type-S.

Did the Stage 3 Exhaust mod. Straight piped my mid-muffler and replaced oem resonator with a Dynomax hi-flow resonator.

Here are the sound results:

Sounds like a G35 in my opinion! I'm pretty happy with it!

panma_jack

yeah thats it i bring in wrecked vehicles from arlington,wa. every week to fosters auto parts and i seen you i said damn that looks like a tl that was @ the oregon meet

MattB07TL

That sounds great ! I kinda wanna do this now. Is that the only things you have done to the exhaust? How much was the dynomax resonator? And did u do it or have a shop?

bluecarbonfiber

how recent did you have this done?? i would expect the pitch to change in a month or so once you really worn it in.. i know when i changed my resonator it took about that long..

MattB07TL

Meh new aspec base lip

bluecarbonfiber

i likey the wheels =)

RJ Legends? Looks good.


Spotted this TSX during the morning commute (185th & Baseline, Beaverton)

CGP, JDM Headlights, Mugen rear lip spoiler, lowered, and the wheels looked like Work Varianza but not sure.

MattB07TL

Thanks bluecarbonfiber .. Yep RJ legends

bluecarbonfiber

looks familiar

i wanted to get those in the black but they were spendy at the time

MattB07TL

^ they were more then I wanted to spend on a set of wheels.I ended up going with the 18in,think they were like 1200 or so, More then I spent on my first car but oh well lol

Healingduck

They sure do look good though though. Worth it.

Yeah, the insurance is something I didn't even consider. I know I will probably be paying through the ass for insurance on a bike because of my age, and the bigger the engine the more I will have to pay. The main appeal of the 250 for me is how light everyone says it is. But I'm on the fence about just saving for something like an r6, or getting the 250. I dunno. When I get some free time I'm just gonna head to a dealer and see which one fits me better. And about the gear, yea that's a given. My friend pretty much skinned up one side of his body from riding with no gear.

Healingduck

^Also, if I did get something like an r6, it wouldn't be for commuting as much as having fun.

But I know that will be a few bikes down the line.

Got Infinity Reference 6.5" x 2 pairs for all four doors



P2R IM mid-thermal gasket. Not installed. Need to wait for Hondata gasket.




Flashpro & Hondata gasket haven't arrived yet. Will be going to Korea this coming Monday and won't be back until first week of June. So... I dont get to try the Flashpro until I comeback.. Kinda excited for parts that'll be waiting for me next month, rather than leaving to Korea for 3+ weeks away from work

Flashpro, im gasket, im mid gasket, FLP high flow cat, tein h-tech

bluecarbonfiber

its alot of stuff there Min.. are you gonna replace the 6x9s too? i have infinity for the rear 2 way and 6x9 and i have alpine components ready to go upfront.. just been lazy on doing it.. now that we are getting warmer weather i might put my butt in gear and do a few things..

minkl81

iTrader: (2)

i tried same infinity 6x9 2way, but didn't get a good result so just returned it. by replacing 6x9, it just killed low bass so i put the oem "bass only" 6x9 woofers back on..

mucter

Going to PIR tonight. Vit's taking out his 600hp Civic. Should be a fun night.

bluecarbonfiber

really?? i thought mine sounded better.. but they are also under driven so im sure they could be even better with the right power... I need to still sound deaden the back deck too cause i have a rattle.. other then that no complaints..

clee109

I think I have Kappas in the rear deck of mine (been so long can't remember) but they hit close to what a 10" sub could do, just a lil less frequency response than an actual sub/amp set up.

I NEED to replace my endlinks and change my front brake pads, and get new tires. Holy shit lol. I think I'll just do what Kyle did and buy a bike and park the TSX for the summer. With gas getting up to around 5 bucks a gallon my commute is murdering my wallet. 70mpg on a Ninja 250 is enticing.

bluecarbonfiber

i will listen for ya =)

bluecarbonfiber

gas price is slowly coming down now.. err it is in my area atleast.. still 4$ plus for premium but better then 4.30$ a gallon

you just need new pads or rotors too? endlinks are easy to change.. let me know if you need help.. Puppies are coming in 2 weeks and ill be busy with that for a bit but will be home for the next 3 weeks and can squeeze you in =)

clee109

Um the rotors can prolly go for another round, though they are getting in need of a turning

Endlinks are super easy, removed many a sway bar so no issue there, just replacing pads = bleh.

We're pretty busy the next few weeks to with house stuff coming up, have to go to the designer center and pick out finishes, spend money, cry about money then be excited hopefully

mucter

ran the RDX. It did a 15.0 for me.

I also got to do 3 runs in Vit's car. Best one was 12.8@126mph. That was the fastest run of the night for the car.

bluecarbonfiber

nice.. to know.. rdx with a intake and TMIC does the same as what my car can do with all its stuff done.. haha guess i need to start doing more tuning and bigger cam

The Russian

I was expecting Vit's car to run much faster then that.. :/

mucter

FWD on street tires is tough. You just can't get out of the hole fast enough to make use of the top end.

bluecarbonfiber

you think he could be 11s if he had slicks?? werent you lower 12s?

ABP1TSX

With some slicks your talking low to mid 11's on fwd car with that trap speed.
