From Japan

[counter balance]

Nice to meet you. Everybody of tsxclub. :)
I say the counter balance that lives in Japan.
My best regards in the future though English is unskilled.

To tell the truth, I am yearning to tsx of everybody though I own 04ABP Euro
R.
If Japan can buy TSX, I think though I am good.


By the way, is my English safe? :nervous:

[ChinchillaX]

Welcome to the club.:wavey:

I too have the ABP color for my TSX, great color choice!

[TSX 'R' US]

Hello and welcome!! :wavey:


Nice pics... I like the emblem changes you have in the rear :thumbsup:

[counter balance]

Thank you very much for the welcome.
ABP is a good color. It loves.
The K20A engine is ..seeming melt brains...

The acura emblem is popular, and expensive in Japan.
It had a hard time though it obtained. :)

[WanTing]

Hello And Welcome To The Club!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andynolife]

welcome ... ~~
i finally found another TSX EuroR buddy ~ :D

[counter balance]

I am fighting against English-Japanese dictionary now.
The thing that was able to become a friend of everybody in this forum
is very glad.

[counter balance]

I love accord.
However, I love USDM TSX more.
Especially, the interior is very good.
Will anyone exchange only the interiors?

[counter balance]

Sent you a PM in regards to the parts you might be wanting. I have plenty of extras for you :D

Do really? :)
I fully have the one wanting it.
However, because I am a poor civil servant, it is not possible to buy
it easily. :bawling:

Hi EuroSg
I also agree.
It is a cry for the moon. :nod:

Your euro is also very good-looking. :thumbsup:
I was surprised with 60k USD.
Because my accord was about 25k USD(2.700.000yen), it is twice or
more. :eek:

Man, loving those seats!

Do they come in heated versions? :)

[counter balance]

The card key is very convenient.
However, only the door and the trunk of the driver's seat are
attested.

[TSX 'R' US]

I wish we had the card keys :bawling:

[robert_tg]

To our regret,
the back and forth slide

Similarly, I want the heated versions. :)

thank you TSX 'R' US san:)
It is so.
Why did not HONDA install the card key in TSX?

thank you robert_tsxgeek san:)

I live in Fukuoka.
It is a place near South Korea.

However, English is serious.
I should study more. :reading:

[Revenent]

Hmmm - dunno. Those cards look a little big.

I have enough bulky things to carry around these days. :)

[Revenent]

Your English is pretty good. Better than a lot I've seen online.

(Especially those on IRC!)

What are the card keys used for??? are they like an electronic key to start the car?

I also love the seats...

Great pics

[ChinchillaX]

great pics! Love that Euro R and those seats are cool!:thumbsup:

[Joker]

OMG!!!!!! I really, really, really love those seats!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Noel]

Open the doors and boot. There is a key to start the car, Honda still hasn't implemented a keyless start-up system.

[johnej]

Ok, so is it like the electronic key that SAAB has, in that it changes the code each time you use it (except starting the car)?

[Noel]

Sorry, I don't exactly know the dynamics and purpose of the Honda card. Because the key supercedes the function of the card at the end of the day. How Honda has it setup vs how GM does it ... Can't answer.

[johnej]

Ok, Thanks Noel

Joker - who thinks your english is fine :thumbsup:

:sprint:

Well said...welcome aboard! Do you live in Sakai? I hope to go on a business trip there in the near future.

[cmf]

Do really? :)

I sent you a message about the parts. Check your Private Messages (PM)

[Revenent]

:lol:

Great, not only have we corrupted the people in Canada and USA to buy parts, we're stretching overseas as well. :D

[micko]

i like the cardkey...if i m go back to HK now..
i must buy the CL7... :cool:

[TSX 'R' US]

The cardkey is just like what's available for the new RL... Except it's in a keyfob format. Just sit in the drivers seat with the key fob and turn the knob and start your car...key still in pocket.

[johnej]

Cool. Thanks for the information on the card key

[Revenent]

Wonder how long before the TSX will get something like that?

Probably the same time it gets SH-AWD. :)

[Noel]

Wonder how long before the TSX will get something like that?

If the new Acura RL aka Honda Legend doesn't get it ... That's very much false hope.

[johnej]

I think it would be a good idea.. (the card key)

[counter balance]

There were a lot of response of this thread, though,I want to respond to everybody.
but... I did not catch up in my
English language skill. :bowdown1:

When I only had to study English seriously when it is a high school student, I
regret. :D

to noel
I'm grad :)
In this forum, I did not think Japanese for it to able to see. :laugh:

very very thanx!

[Noel]

Irrashimase ... Counter balance san. ;)

[EuroR_82]

Hi Counter Balance San!

Glad to see you here. I too hail from a foreign land. I'm an owner of the EuroR in Singapore.

Actually, I'm here to seek your help. Cause in Singapore, aftermarket parts for the EuroR is quite scarce to find. Moreover, the TSX is K24A whereas our EuroR is K20A, so most of the aftermarket parts for TSX do not fit on our EuroR. So I was sourcing for part from Japan on the net. But it seems like what I can actually find is quite limited. So I'll like to seek your advice as to what to go with regarding aftermarket parts from Japan. Spoon? Feel's? Toda?

Thanks a million!

[Noel]

Perhaps you should start a new thread. ;)

There are "sufficient" JDM parts IMO as long as you're willing to shell out the required dollars for it. What are you trying to find or would like to "modify" to begin with? Hmm, Singapore has a strong legal restriction against vehicle modifications and that itself limits the entire picture.

BTW, can you also please tone down the size of the avatar? It's a little too big and does make browsing/reading annoying. Thank you.

[robert_tg]

hmm wonder what counter balance-san been up to ?

[yrap]

nice man i like

[counter balance]

I'm sorry that my reply slows.
Thank you, yrap san, robert_tsxgeek san, Mr. EuroR_82 san,and noel san. :)

＞EuroR_82 san,
It is dynamic to buy CL7 in Singapore. :thumbsup:
Will it become a similar price to buying AUDI A8 in the United States?

Do you like TODAracing?
4-2-1header has been only commercialized in that. However, it is very expensive. :(

My recommendation・・・
It is RAMCHARGER of gruppem.
It is efficient with an air filter of K&N.
It is an item sold only in Japan.

By the way, I love HOUSE and TECHNO.

[EuroR_82]

Hey. Sorry bout the avatar. Done it.

Well, it costs about USD70K if I convert. But I've no idea how much an Audi costs in States. But it cost about S$260K over here. Twice the amount I paid for my car...so outta my means.

But I just love EuroR, the looks and the handling.

Back to the main point. Maybe I didn't phrase my questions so well, my bad. Sorry bout that. I'll re-phrase them simply. What JDM products would you recommend for in terms of performance? Saw quite a couple of EuroRs in Japan had their exhaust changed to something called "ProRacer ASpec"? We definitely won't have that in Singapore. Need approval from authorities here to install that. But I'm more of referring to other parts. Like intakes, headers, gasket, camshafts, etc etc.

Was hoping to hear some views from a real JDM EuroR. Believe that modding would have catch on there much faster than compared to Singapore.

Thanks Counter san. Arigato !

[robert_tg]

hehheh look who's back !

There are a few Euro R owners here from Singapore, however they're fairly "quiet" in general. If you're looking for a catback exhaust system, anything with a "Jasma Approved" label should be acceptable and legal in Singapore. Don't quote me on that but the sound output of Jasma is acceptable in most other nations as well.

As for intakes, you have GruppeM, Mugen, Injen, K&N just to name the popular few. 2 of the first easily costs double the price. Gasket and cams? The Toda A spec should go fine. But establishing more power in this sense is perhaps more worthy invested in the simple bolt-ons first before attempting engine work.

[EuroR_82]

No news Balance san?

[Noel]

You don't believe my recommendations? :jester:

[Andynolife]

he wants the real JDM bling bling info .. :rofl:
wut Noel said is pretty much the way to go .. :D u wont go wrong .. ~

[Noel]

I guess what I use or what I recommend isn't "JDM" enough. :slap:

Thanks for the confidence vote, Andy. ;)

[EuroR_82]

Don't get me wrong guys. Not that I don't believe what you said. I'm more of still sourcing of what's available. Cause I don't mind getting the parts imported into Singapore.

Cause Singapore's market is relatively small, alot of workshops can't see the profit in bringing in aftermarket parts for certain car makes. So I wanted to know what's available & might be better in terms of reliability, durability. not necessary just performance wise, so what if it's good and only last me 2 - 3 months.

So I was actually hoping to get more feedback from Counter, cause parts in states are mostly made for TSX which basically is CL9, whereas what I have is CL7. They might fit, but since it's not made for the CL7 in mind. It might not be a good choice eventhough they're more easily available.

Only Japan has the EuroR, so I guess parts from there might be a better choice than parts from States.

But if I've offended anyone. I'm sorry. Not my intention.

llllll9

[Noel]

Perhaps you should expand on viewing other parts of the forum as well, here is my (http://tsxclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4286&page=1&pp=40) car. Except for the intake, all other parts on the car are CL7 designed while CL9 compatible.

Like I said as above, stick to bolt-on parts first. And then take it from there. The only limit is budget.

[Andynolife]

yup .. ~ most parts r interchangtable .. ~ and many TSX in Vancouver put lots of CL7 parts in thier cars too .. ~ and most of them need no modification or even very minor modification. ~ and it all comes to budget in the end .. ~

[Benz]

yup yup~.... and andy is a BIG Euro R fan as well~

can't believe i foudn this thread so late.... nice ABP Euro R man.. nice grill!!!
i think your baby is SUPA KAWAII!!

Hi Noel,

Am just wondering what is the differences in terms of performance for the Gruppem and Mugen intake? Is the latter better in all rpm range compared to Mugen which is more for low-mid range?

as far as i kno .. ~ they r quite silmiar in term of low-mid range performance .. ~ sthing like comapred a Injen CAI and K&N CAI
silmiar price and focus on low-mid range .. ~ :)

[dondon]

Hey Counter Balance. LOVE your EURO R.....
I have one question for you, what kind of exaust system you using? i love it!

[vonarx]

Hi Euro 82

Am from Spore too kindly contact me if you are buying some part as would like to join in.

[Noel]

Blackcruiser ... Andy's basically summarized up my comments in reflect on the GruppeM intake.

Thanks for the comments.. Anyway its too late.. I have already installed the Mugen intake.. But No Regrets!! But the differences between the 2 is that Gruppem is louder when past 3500Rpm.. as compared to Mugen where its more tame.. But in the Vtec zone.. the Mugen is just as sweet!! In Singapore, there is at least 5 or more Euro Rs with Gruppem.. Out of the 100's on the road. Mugen is rare.. probably due to the price..
