I love 531s. Cobra wheels look good too. I'm not a big fan of 5 spokes though. How low do you plan on going?

I'm not much on a lot of negative camber. I like to have more than 20% of my tire on the ground. Lol. Functional fitment is what I'm going for. Like the TSX I posted above. Not a massive amount of can,Ber. But enough to fit the 18x10s properly.

Nice seeing you around still. My bro got a 05 TSX 6MT not long ago with black leather interior...charcoal gray exterior. It is nice. I found it to handle well in stock form, very nimble compared to the CB7, more peppy engine. Not as much room in rear seat as TL, still enjoy a 6MT TL overall. However, the 04-08 TSX have better quality leather seats than TL...which I found strange.

i've been looking into short shifters. normally i just cut down the shifter stock and im fine. but this one seems like the shift bushings need to be replaced and the shift throws needs to be shortened. lol.

i would but i like the regular TL wheels better. the 5 star one.
this is actually the same color as my car. lol. the TL wheels are 17x8. get some 215/45s or 215/40s and then add some 15mm spacers all around. sit the wheel flush with the fender and boom. my wheel set up will be done....for now. lol.

Well, well. Welcome to the TSX 6MT club! Car looks almost identical to mine.
I noticed you're planning on replacing the ball joints, etc. While you're down there, I recommend you take a look at the compliance bushings for the front lower control arms. Every TSX has premature wear on these bushings; I finally replaced these at 130K, but my mechanic noted extreme wear on the bushings as early as the 115K service.
Also, beware of the A/C compressor killing itself. My roommate and I both own CL9 manual-transmission TSXs. Both cars's A/C compressors died on the same hot weekend, my roommate's (2006 model, 77K miles) and mine (2005, 135K). I spent $800 in parts.Last edited by Nurega; 08-21-2013, 04:09 AM.Original-Owner 1991 Honda Accord

Is this a factory lip kit?
