sounds like fun but i cant do it.. im got pre plans and puppy duty =/

 

wow.. just learned that rear camber on tsx can't be adjusted without a camber kit. something i never knew about until today. rear sitting at -1.9/-2. probably will order Ingalls camber kit since I tried SPC camber kit on the last tsx.

 

hmm thought they could do alittle.. still need to perfect my ride height and weight so i can handle alittle better

 

Are you running NST or Ralco pulley set? Thinking about getting just the stock diameter crank pulley from XLR8 which is made by UR

 

ralco rz...
the NST pulleys arent stock diameter i have the NST overdrive for my alternator though and it works great!
i still have my NST pulley with stock ralco power stearing and alt pulleys. I am curious what the pulley size of the RDX is but everytime i want to measure one the person never shows up to our meets ..coughcough marco.. coughcough... so maybe Jay could measure the diameters of the pulleys on his? wink wink.. nudge nudge.. if they arent even close ill sell mine

 

gana lower my tsx with tein s.Tech plus the 19s on. u guys think it's gana ryde like stock or even better if not how can i make it perform better? haven't ever lower my car before don't know how they ryde but some say it's better or yet drives the same. Anyone can help?

 

should ride better.. the 19s will make you feel alot on the road way i would suggest 18s only cause i have 19s on my car now and wished i went 18s

 

Hey, you need to get RDX first before collecting parts! Haha


S-tech & 19" combo will make it ride stiffer than stock. why not go with 18s? 19s will make tsx slower with added weight, unless your going with forged lightweight wheels

 

19s are overkill for tsx's body size i think. when it gets time to upgrade the wheels, i'll be doing 18s that are under 20lbs per wheel.

 

ya i wished i went 18s, thought about selling mine just to beable to do 18s.. 19s are good for show wise and in town driving but im a spirit driver and need something more for it..


and only thing i bought for the RDX are the springs and they are still collecting dust =)

 

Brandon, which pulleys you need measured on the RDX?

I spent my weekend putting together a custom intake setup on the Si. Just changing the intake netted me 20whp .... LOL. I now have about 285 whp on the stock header / exhaust.

 

your next mod should be new lighter 18s rather than flashpro. how heavy is your 19s? about 27lbs?


dayum! how's torque steer?

 

I have to admit, I do have a bit of torque steer. I blame the dealer for that though... they didn't do the best job re-aligning the suspension after I removed my coil overs and went back to stock height. When aligned properly, this suspension has almost zero torque steer issues up past 400+ whp.

 

i like this. weds and on sale for only $249/wheel @ Tirerack. super deal but they only have 3 wheels left. someone snatch it up!

18x8 20.9lbs

 

still heavy.. i want the enkei wheels 18x8 at just under 19lbs each

 

lol damn yea i already bought them 19s though they are TSW

 

too late to send them back?? =)

love tsws..tsws are a bulky rims only a few are light weight, you will notice take off is slower then stock wheels.. also alittle decrease in gas mileage due to weight.. all are very minimal.. rims look good though

 

damn that looks heavy

tsw makes good wheels, but they tend to be heavyweighters except one or two designs.
one of them is tsw nurburgring rotary forged wheels which i have on my infiniti and they are only about 25lbs being 20s

you'll definitely feel sluggishness when taking off from stop.

 

Thanks guys. yea i think it's a lil late to send it back lol and pluss i got a good deal on these couldn't pass down lol. got these for 950 for 4 retails were 1300 and these were new style they have for the tsw. hope the ryde will be good though it's my dd so a lil slower take off is ok ^_^ gas mileage shouldn't be too much of a diff though right? lol

 

so far i've done 20% tint, blacking out my trims and front grill. then there's the tint on the tail light to take out the pinkish i don't like lol and hopefully this week i put on my springs and my new shoes HOPEFULLY lol.

 

nice job on the black out.. didnt realize what year of TSX you had.. 19s might fill the fender better IMO since the 09-12 tsx have bigger fender lines.. the 18s would of been a better weight reduction though.

 

yea mine is 2012 se, yea i like 19s they say it would fit and fill the gap better so i'm like alright let's go with 19s lol.

 

A-Spec kit, LED switchbacks and LED rear turn signals all installed today! Sorry for the shitty iPhone pic.

Gotta fix that hyperflash tho..Vlad! Lemme know when we can meet up to solder that relay!

 

SE is niiiiiccccceeeee

But cut out the interior cf vinyl on the cup holder where the aluminum trim piece is over the push button to get rid of that bubble there.

Oh and let those door handles shine! Sorry, not hating, just never been a fan of the panda look. Id also leave the tails red on white, fewer tickets and cleaner IMO. Love those SEs.

Do yourself a favor and swap your shocks with your s.techs to koni yellows or something, it'll drive way nicer (less of the import wobble) and you're going to blow your OEMs anyways with the drop on the s.techs in the future

 

yea i was gana let the door handle shine but was just seeing if it looks good or not. i'm going have it removed. About the shocks is it better if i swich the OEMs shock to Koni? cause i already got the S.Tech. just haven't put it on.

 

know where i can find a set for my 2012? good price? i'm clueless.

 

You'll have the famous import wobble on your OEM shocks with the higher spring rate of the s.techs. Yellows are a really good shock and have adjustable dampening force so you can fine tune it for your driving style and to better match with the higher sping rates.

Us in PDX do most of our shopping with Speed Concept off of TV Hwy. they'll meet or beat most online prices.

 

i've been looking around for some but haven't find one that fits the 2012 and damn they are pricy lol i don't really abuse my car when i drive so i hope the OEM last. before i can save up for some Koni if i find it. might need help if ya'll can thanks advance. ^_^

 

need to update your avatar photo

no aftermarket shocks are made for your car yet.. should of went tein coilovers for that option.. maybe in another year or 2 they will have shocks out.. sorry =/ dont know if honda accord ones would fit nor do i know if they even make them for the accord

 

you'll be fine on OEM for a lil while, but they will eventually blow out and be a bit bouncy

 

Yea, for 2G tsx body, 19" will look better. Somehow we thought about 1G tsx.
I like the SE version too, just wished that SE was top of the line version like the TL TypeS rather than skipping on the navi option.


Did you get Base front lip installed at the body shop? Or got it done by yourself?

 

Ordered some more parts and I call it done for this year.
*Ingalls rear camber kit (unplanned purchase...)
*Unorthodox (XLR8) Stock diameter crank pulley
*FLP trunk lip spoiler (Fiberglass)

 

Holy Carbon Fiber, Batman!

Checking in again...I see you are all still blowing your hard earned money on stick/bolt-on parts for your cars.

I, however, have moved on to a higher level of conciseness. I have started a living community group. I got the idea when I started as a member of this group, which was fun, however I found you make more money as a leader. My group is focused on me as their living leader. My members display excessively zealous, unquestioning commitment. Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged. Some say "Master Marco is preoccupied with [raising] money.” But there is always a need for increasing finances. New projects are always in the planning. Members are strongly encouraged to greatly sacrifice for my current projects. My members must be kept revved up on a continual basis. And of course I always take the major credit for the movement’s accomplishments. Many of my followers have said, “What would we ever do without our leader?,”

You guys wanna join?

 

Started drinking early in the morning??
Sounds like religious scam :gheyhug::gheyhug:

 

Cult, cult is the word you were searching for.

 

first rule of fight club... YOU DONT TALK ABOUT IT.. second rule of fight club... YOU DONT TALK ABOUT IT

 

I agree i was actually looking for the TL Type S at first but then i couldn't find any around here so decided to go with the 2G SE didn't really need the navi but woulda been nice if they made it for it SE though.


yea at first my choice was coilovers but then changed my mind to springs i'm new at all this stuff. mabe i will save up for some good coilovers in the future and hopping my OEM shock will last me at least a year or 2 lol as my DD and not abusing it.

 

I am sure since its SE they beefed up the shocks alittle.. but who knows...


hey chris did you have a front camber kit with you had the coils on the car?? i am thinking of buying some SPCs but havent heard anything about them.. i plan to tackle my coils soon and want to make sure if the front end lowers alittle that i can still keep the camber in check =)

 

nope I didn't have any camber kit on the fronts

 

Blue - Haha I would but then I would have to change my name on here too which might not be that easy

Min - I installed it myself and trimmed the fog light area up with a dremel to get it flush and just touched it up with some paint from the rear lip. Down the road I want to get it molded with the fog light area cut to match the type-s lines
