Default It's been a long time friends. TSX Wagon content. 56k warning(HAHA)

Hi guys! It's been incredibly long since I've posted on this forum. Life took over and building cars took a back seat and Integra or s2000 builds were out of the question with family and work. However, I never lost the Honda itch and love the community and brand. It's a shame that Honda/Acura no longer builds cars like the EG, EF, Integra, S2000, or the TSX. After my BMW lease, I thought to my self, what is the last Honda that had ties to the previously mentioned cars that could support a family and fun..... the TSX Wagon. The search was on and I was lucky enough to find an incredibly clean car with ultra-low miles 4 years ago and slowly began making changes. Below are a few shots of how the car progressed over the last couple of years. Nothing crazy, just something I DD and take the kid to school in or pick up groceries in.


When I first bought her.

I wanted the OEM + look like similar to my old Integras build with blades or OEM type r 5 lug wheels. Test fitting 2019 Accord touring wheels.

After all was finished. Coilovers + wheels and tires. I absolutely loved this look. Super clean oem. Only negative was the ride on the 19's was terrible and the suspension took a beating.

Then this happened... I found a set of AME FS 01 wheels that I ran on my first gen TSX. These were an aggressive fit, but I was determined to run these.

After a fender roll all around + camber kits and alignment.




Dropped her another 1/4 inch and that's pretty much it. I don't have any other real plans for the car except to enjoy it. These wagons handle amazingly and are fun to drive. The only bummer is how slow they are, especially since they are automatic.

6MT J35 TL-S swap will solve the slow problem

I've been thinking about that or just a MT swap. The J series would be awesome, but it would need to come out of a 12+ MY since I'm in CA and will to BAR it.

The new wheels and the lower stance really improve the looks. Looks like a cool family car
