Newbie here
Whatup!

Im new here, so be gentle

Making a move from my 02 Sentra SE-R to an 07 TSX. I will be taking delivery in mid-may when the car gets here from Japan. This will be the 7th Acura in my family. Im getting black/black AT loaded, without nav. What I will be doing immediatly:

15% tint
Interior LED lighting
19" Black Rims (Not sure on what kind yet)
Full Kenwood SS

Now I noticed that my SE-R is much faster than the stock TSX, even though my SE-R only has an Ingen CAI. Any simple mods to make the TSX a little faster? The car will be a lease and I really am unsure if I wanna throw in an CAI (Was a b*tch to install on the SE-R). Anything simpler?

Thanks in advance.

Nick

Chasis:
Neuspeed Front Strut bar
Cusco Front Strut Bar
Cusco type 2 lower brace
Progress RSB sway bar
Comptech sway bar
Neuspeed Sway bar

for suspension it depends on how you will ride your car or want to drive your car

Coilovers:
Buddy Club N+ Spec coilovers <--- i like them because of the adjustable dampers for a reasonable price, also can be harsh ride or close to stock ride
Tanabe Sustec Pro Type 2 <--- closest to stock comfort
Tein Basic <--- low price better handling
Tein Flex <-- dont know much about them
Skunk2 Coilovers <--- im not sure if these came out yet have to check with Skunk2

Perfomance wise:
DC Sports Headers
Toda Headers
Gruppe - M Intake
AEM Intake
Injen CAI
Typhoon CAI
K&N CAI
Random Technology Cat <---direct bolt on
Magna Flow Cat <--- needs to be custom fitted and welded.
Buddy Club Exhaust
Comptech Exhaust
Greddy Exhaust
Tanbe Exhaust
Fujitsu Exhaust
5Zigen Exhaust
J's racing exhaust <--- recommend if you have the money
Hondata reflash
Hondata Intake gasket



theres many varieties you can do a spring set up like me

Tanabe DF210 springs lowers 1.8 F 1.7 R $150.00 shipped
Koni Yellow Shocks $585.00 shipped

i had the same question when i started out too. I didn't know anything about cars and stuff. but after i came to this forum i've learned a lot.
Hondata - Honda ECU Modification and Enhancement
go to hondata.com
this site is where you go to get your ecu reflash.
it will mod your engine computer which improve in performance as in speed.
But if you just leasing this car and not planning on buying it i guess you shouldn't get your ecu reflash i guess.

Thanks for the info. I will consider it, but maybe its not worth it if Im leasing. I'll have to look into it.
