Nope. 18" max 'member, you 'member.
Im still waiting on pics of the actual rims, he said one has some minor rash. Hmm.
Also, just had to stop at the bank, took the Tsx. Had a flat black rattle canned Dodge Ram next to me, heard one redneck say to the other “How much you think he has?” “More than us, thats for sure” I have never used the atm so fast. :ahh
So got a good price on some springs, not sure what to do for shocks just yet. Might just run stock ones for a bit.
I was never a fan of having wheels bigger than you need to clear the calipers, well that is unless you plan on getting bigger brakes. Smaller wheels = cost less, less unsprung, lower cg and cheaper tires.
i love tsx’s! lookin good boogerface. i miss you.
Thanks Seamus!
So in my hiatus, I did a few things.
Blacked out chrome on door handles;
'06 Tsx Low Profile Wipers and Arms;
And attempted to fix all the cdplayer/hvac lights being out, with a '05 radio from the bay… The #4 button doesnt work, and the activation code is 4456 :facepalm So thats a no go. Swapped the '04 faceplate to the '05 player, now the lights and all buttons work but…
lol red i love the sleak wipers
go back to chrome handles tho, flowed better with the car i think, also install nav in that thing and … lower it already grrrr!!
Thanks lol and
Nope, Nope, and SOON. Just need to decide on some shocks, springs are already here. Locating the harness for the navi swap is the hardest part, not to mention the hefty price tag of the navi headunit, and dvd unit… just not worth it in my book, for this car anyways. If anything, will be supercharged before I add navi lol
wait with the stock nav you can play dvd’s???
Yeah you can, there is a “hack” to do it. The stock navi unit uses/reads from a DVD, the player is in the trunk on the right hand side, in my gen Tsx/TL anyways. Probably similar for yours.
Yes … Go on
It’s in the same place in my car now share this hack talk
Heres some reading for you on hacking/homebrew stuff: Hack Your Navi Summarized! (Change pics and remove nag screen) - AcuraZine - Acura Enthusiast Community
And DVD support, not really a “hack” but can be done. From: 3G TL Audio & Electronics FAQ - AcuraZine - Acura Enthusiast Community
Q: How do I add DVD/media player support?
A: There are three main parts required to add dvd/media player support: video module, audio module, dvd/media player.In order to add video input to the factory navigation system, you will need to purchase a video interface. The video interface will provide the video RCA connections. The most popular is Dom’s TVandNav2Go module - as known for short as Dom’s unit, Dom, Nav2Go and variations thereof. Since he is a vendor on here, you will find group buys here for this module here: Sponsored Sales & Group Buys.
In order to add audio input(s) to the factory head unit, you will need to purchase an audio interface. The audio interface will provide the audio (usually RCA, but can be aux-in) connections. They are outlined in the Audio section of this FAQ. I would recommend Blitzsafe HON/AUX DMX if you don’t care for iPod integration, USA Spec PA11-HON2y for iPod + one aux input, or PIE X3 for three aux inputs.
Lastly, is your media device. With the two main modules above you can then incorporate DVD/PS2/XBOX/Carputer/Mediagate to the factory system.

Q: I have navi and a video iPod. How do I display videos from my iPod on the navigation screen?
A: With a video module like the TVandNav2Go, adding support for the video iPod is not difficult. Here are some threads that discusses the details:
PIEx3 vs PA11-HON2Y
Rookie basics - IPOD Video thru Navi System
Other iPod Interfaces: DLO Homedock Deluxe and Griffin TuneCenter
Thanks red, I read through it and it seems like alot of work plus I’m not that handy with computers so I will be passing on any of those mods lol, I really wanted to remove that stupid okay screen you have to click every time the car starts to activate the nav but even that takes alot of work.
See why I dont care if I have navi or not :lol BECAUSE RACETSX
Bought SS Clutch Line for Tsx
Just got confirmation “Awoc Ultimate Tsx Short Shifter” will be shipping soon too! Now I need to decide on shocks. Come spring, car will be dropped, A-Spec’d and bronze wheels… maybe more.
How about you turbo or supercharge this thing so I can see what I’m Missing lol
I was really playing with the idea of supercharging/rotrex it. Dont want to turbo, because it requires relocating the battery, and I dont want to sacrifice trunk space. Not sure how much more I will actually get done on it this year, hopefully lowered, and the bronze wheels maybe. Going to wait till spring on the Aspec kit install. You can drive it as it is now, its still impressive for the minimal mods I have done. No one believes me, but Tsx feels quicker than my TL.
2nd set of se37k. Such a wheel whore :rofl
You gonna sell me those friggin A Spec wheels yet or what!
Haha Yeah actually. Theyre pretty rough, I havent done anything with them, but put them in storage.
