New edition to the family....

Just picked it up yesterday. 2004 TSX 5AT about 76k miles on it. Dealership was asking a little over 14k for it. I got it for 12k. Car is CPO, and in great shape. Bought it mainly for my girlfriend to drive, and to use on road trips instead of the EVO. The only mods will be eibach prokit springs, 18x8 konig runaways, tint, aspec sides and rear, JDM EURO R front lip. I'm ordering the rims and the springs tonight. the tint is being done monday, and as soon as i find a good price on the lip kit, it'll be ordered as well.

sorry for the blurry pic, these were taken last night with my iphone at a gas station before we went out. that's my gf hanging out of the moonroof. yeahhh man. we're gonna do an EVO/TSX photoshoot when i have time to clean the EVO and take pics. Enjoy.

wheels: Konig Runaways..RE30 knockoffs. the EVO is getting real RE30's soon









and a couple pics of me and the Mrs.





pics of my car: the imfamous 124,XXX mile 2006 EVO IX MR

it has a chain not a belt...


I have an 05. I would go with the factory Aspec suspension setup with a rear camber kit. if you do the springs i would also get a set of Koni struts. you WILL need to adjust rear camber.


I love mine. may be selling it shortly though.

nah, because i had another car before the TSX. she drove it, i drove the EVO. She got into a 7 car accident and totalled the Honda Accord. she wasn't at fault. then we picked this up.

what the TSX? yeah you're supposed to use premium only in it lol at it's next oil change we'll be swapping over to mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter. all i run in the EVO is royal purple with a mobil 1 filter. it would be nice to get that kind of gas mileage out of the TSX considering i'm lucky to get 15 in town and 22 on the highway with the EVO lol
