      @JETZcorp 2 года назад +23

      With Hondas that's almost just how it is. Unless your build starts at the dealership, 80% of the job is usually un-molesting. I had a stock 91 Civic that got stolen, and in the 3 weeks they had it, the car was turned into a full-rice vape-bro basket case. They put serious driveway time and spent money to ruin that poor car.
      I love Hondas, but so much of that community is just madness. Some day there's only going to be one clean stock EG hatch left on Earth. Someone is going to spend $1.5 million on it, and just start cutting.

    It’s good to see that TSX in a more usable state. To get rid of all of those VSA and warning lights, chances are it will need a shop with Honda diagnostic software or the dealer to do a VSA calibration, and if the previous owner damaged the speed sensors, that’ll be something to replace to finally get all of those warning lights off that were caused by stancing/coilovers.
    Hope the new owner enjoys it!

    I owned a honda with a fully modded suspension. Not for stance, but for cornering. It sat 7in. off the ground😆😆😆 The suspension was so stiff, I couldn't drive the car for more than 30mins. before my back & spine started to hurt. Driveways & Speed Bumps were the bane of my existance😆😆 I owned it for only a year, and I was so relieved when I found someone willing to buy it off me. Now I drive an old camry that I found for dirt cheap, and IDC that it's drab & boring, I love that old scraper: Working A/C, ground clearance, and a comfortable ride. Things I'll never take for granted ever again!

    Those hood risers weren’t just to help clear the hood for taller engine swaps. It was also very good at getting rid of extra heat in those little engine bays when you turbo them or build them up quite a bit. Radiators and cooling in general have gotten so good I’m not sure those are necessary anymore. Especially on an Acura as modern as the TSX.

    • @maz5miata269

      Hood risers actually reduce engine bay heat extraction, the lower part of the windshield is a high pressure area so air actually gets forced into the bay rather than drawn out

    I love stance cars and i love cars built to be driven properly. I own both types of cars. You all need to broaden your horizons and understand people who stance their cars know very well they drive like shit.
    I just don't understand all of the hate on different subcultures in the entirety of car culture.

    That body style of TSX was a truly great-looking design. I had an 06 6MT and it was a great ride, I wish I would have kept it. My biggest gripe was the seats and there was no plausible aftermarket (or Euro R Recaros) that would work without airbag issues.

    I own an 07 TSX and I get it…I love that car, but unless you’re keeping up with repairs (not just maintenance), it’s a lot to fix at once! I’ve had mine for 13 years and always kept up with regular maintenance, but I was letting non-mechanical repairs go and now that its old enough to need a bunch of mechanical replacements too (ps rack, suspension, motor mounts, etc) it’s going to get expensive fast to add the look-good replacements. Seats always rip and are on my list, bumper paint has been chipping since I bought it, a piece of the grill just blew off one day, the paint needs a re-clear at the very least possibly whole new paint job, I think a spoiler would look good, some window tint,…the list goes on. Fantastic mechanical cars, but the quality of a lot of the interior/exterior stuff is sub-par in my opinion.

    I would have kept the wheels (but that’s mainly because I don’t like stock wheels on anything aside from steelies) and just changed the tire profile to something a little bit thicker. The one with the crack can be rectified. A nice weld with some cross stitching for additional support would fix that up.
    Lastly many of the rusted stuff underneath would be replaced, so a new catalytic converter, and a new exhaust system would go on this car. The mufflers I would change for something that would give the car some grumble but not so much to be obnoxious, they would be an OEM style but just new to replace the crusty ones that were on it originally.
    Since the car has the rear lip and the side skirts, I would attempt to fix the front lip, just to give it some uniformity with the rest of the stock body kit that was on this car. Clean up the interior and that’s pretty much it.
    Lastly I wouldn’t have replaced the taillights. I would have just put a layer of red vinyl tints over the clear tails just to have that factory taillight color without having to go out and buy a set of taillights.
