I think my car would look like a 4x4 next to yours haha.. i need to invest in a lip kit to give it that lower look

although i could let you drive it see if you notice a difference between the 06 with out hondata vs 05 with it

 

April 18th we will have a photo shoot

 

My pics are up from the shoot today.

 

I need to hondata but where does all the time go? Besides with kpro out it's a question of get reflash or hold out for more money and kpro? Well if you go to sonic at a reasonable hour tonight I might go, but my car is dirty as hell lol

 

my car is dusty.. i figure its gonna rain tomorrow so whats the point of washing..

I feel ya on the Kpro but i am still hoping that they figure a way to keep the cruise control active.. if they do that ill shell out 2K and get it..

 

I wouldn't expect a cruise control fix any time soon. It took years just to get the kpro no less fix it's bugs. Just not enough market in TSX's I mean seriously how often do you see a TSX around town with anything done? I think just you Brandon lol oh and the guy with a 04 - 05 PWP slammed that occasionally drives past me on sunny days in the backroads coming home

 

^^ for real... i seen that guy too but every time i do i am in the scion so i have nothing to brag back about.. There is another grey tsx that i see all the time at jantzen beach with black rims and a lisence plate re-locate on it but doesnt look like anything else done.. i feel like either we are a dying breed or we are the lucky few that promote the potential of the car..

 

I think we're the few that aren't over 40 lol

I've been working on a relocate bracket that allows you to use the factory mount under the bumper and factory front plate brackets so you would relocate on either the driver or passenger side without drilling any new holes. It's been a long project cause I get lazy lol but some day!!!! It's almost done just have to cut some notches in the bracket to accommodate for the lower air dam slats.

 

interesting you mention it.. i was just thinking of making something that still has the plate up front but instead of having it mounted at the nose (stock) i was thinking of having it under the nose where the grill is.. i havent seen if it will fit or not though.. im kinda leaning towards it wont..

 

I've seen that done, it requires some finagling but it works

 

hmmm.. might have to add that to my project list...

ALT pulley - check
rear camber kit - check
rear sway bar - check
find new location for lisence plate - check
make fiberglass sub box - check

had to make it above the sub box only cause i can get a ticket for it if i dont do it soon.. but just isnt my higher priority HAHA

 

forgot to add fog lights to that list... kinda waiting to purchase some HIDs for them though

 

damn nice outside.. makes me wish i had today off.. cant wait for more sunny days like this

 

well i WAS hondatafied too



just get a relocator kit from password:jdm

 

WAS is the keyword =) you need to just get another TSX and do it again

relocator kits arent as fun as making your own

 

^^ +1 making your own is way more fun! lol

 

a couple quickie pics today after some cleaning.... needs to go about .25" lower. Probably fix that with some koni's later on.





Not the greatest pics but you get the idea lol... Aspec front and rear is coming soon

 

so nice and clean...


anyone going to sonic tonight? i might cruise by for a sec around 6 30

 

how about 7:30?

 

I am heading out that way straight after work.. so its actually looking like 6ish honestly.. i was going out there to get some buffalo wild wings and swing by there first real quick to see if anyone turns up.. no biggie looks like next weekend might turn out nice if it does could plan something then

 

I think you should go with euroR lip kits. It'll be worth the wait/cost.


btw...
I finally got perfect performance setup done. Tried many combinations past few months and think I'm settled now.

- AEM v2 CAI
- UR Underdrive pulley
- P2R TB spacers
- ATLP J-pipe
- ATLP Race pipe
- Some weight reductions
- Light weight wheels

Now onto perfect suspension setup

 

nice list, I'm still looking for the right suspension set up as well, thinking either Tein SS or Koni yellows with Tein S-Techs

 

went to sonic.. didnt see much.. nice black vette and a grey mustang.. nothin else

 

Anyone here near Mcminnvile or Corvallis?

 

Was at the track tonight with my buddy, and saw a WDP Type S... At first I thought it was min, but then realized it was you.

Good job, I only saw you run three times though... Best time I saw was 14.6

 

14.4

ill pull my time slips out later...

bah you probably saw my second run ? it was like a 17 something
i was listening to the announcer and hes like tsx and i was like WTF not even close to the same car - both luxury - but seriously i still have the tl emblems on my car. i told the guy pulling cars forward to tell them my car isnt a tsx and he was like well what is it then. ugh dumb ass - how could you NOT see the diff! then ev time i came up he was like and rachel in her tl type s right rachel - i just wanted to yell smart ass! like im a liar or some shhhiznit.. so many ppl were talking shit haha
glad everyone thinks a tl is an accord or that its my dads or husbands car seriously WTF

lots of old cars out tonight. all in all im pretty excited with a 14.4 on half tank of gas.

 

oh yes and got pulled over tonight - i'm super tired so i'll be sharing that awesome story later lol i'm just saying it now to remember how pissed i am

 

I keep swaying back/forth on which i want. I do like both so it kinda hard. The price difference is a factor as i can get the aspec front/rear for $640 vs almost $1g for the euro lips. The $300 difference can get me halfway towards a set of koni's.

 

^^ go with what you want your car to be.. its called Individualality

 

well hopefully next time its a decent weekend i will go race ya and they can see the difference between the 2

 

Is that where you're moving to?

 

$1g isn't that's pretty cheap for the euroR lips. where you sourcing them from??
about 4 years ago, i got mine from boomplustoys for little less than $1500 for the lips, grill, and emblems for full conversion.


it'll be more individual with rare euroR kit so you should help him make decision towards euroR kit. back then, i was the only one in oregon with euroR lip kit

 

greeting from the coast of north carolina-we are doing a road-trip to WA then south along the coast to San Francisco- We will be traveling thru Oregon and would like suggestions of what we should see. Thanks. We will be in your state in May-

 

Yes sir! I'll be everywhere though since I have family from Portland to Salem.

It's going to be so nice driving up there, NO TRAFFIC!!!

 

Oh, there's traffic here. Depends where your commute is.

I know what LA traffic is like though - I drove 48 miles each way from Fontana to La Palma (15 to 10 to 57 to 91) and back in my Integra, in rush hour traffic for work each day. Beware though - California drivers are much better than Oregon drivers (IMO), but you'll learn to adjust.

Where in Anaheim Hills did you live? I used to live in Anaheim and worked in Orange for awhile. I had lots of friends that lived in Anaheim Hills.

 

in astoria there is the goonies house.. not really that great.. but kinda cool to see if you ever watched the movie as a child
.. tillamock cheese factory is nice to stop in for a snack and see how the famous cheese is made
..just past lincoln city is a place called devils blow hole which is a nice little site to get out and stretch

cant really tell you much after that on the coast minus the dunes beach which is neat to see

after that i would think the redwood forest in california where you can see paul bunyan.. its a nice site there.. some big ass trees to see too

 

Its just the front and rear lips no sides. Either way it will probably be a month or two before i order because im going for a short vacation in april. After that i got to finish installing all my audio gear that i have been stock piling.

 

thanks for the suggestions- As a former resident of NJ I know Oregon is another state that does not have self-service gas stations. When it was cold and the weather was lousy it was nice to say fill-er-up.

 

very true.. its a nice feature.. we also pay alittle more for it too. but i guess nothing like california who doesnt have self serve and still has outragious prices..

another thing you will need to do is find Moes in seaside and have a cup of clam chowder.. its the best on the coast.. in my opinion..

 

The gas prices are amongst the lowest in NJ-usually at least 20-30 cents a gal lower than NC. Keep the suggestions coming
