I have a lot of time on my hands... soooo
Decided to finally post a thread of mine, PWP 6spd non-navi.
Been through a lot with this car. Bought her cheap because the previous owner didn't have money to replace the clutch. After I replaced the clutch I literally learned to drive stick with her (I had the gist of manual transmission driving down, she helped me fine tune it). It was a bit hard, considering TSXs don't have the most forgiving of clutch engagement. I have a weird "thing", where I name all my prized belongings Russian names, considering how electrified this car made me feel, I named her Tesla (ie: my Proto matrix paintball gun was named Natascha, my old civic was named Svetlana).
Love and hate relationship turning into all love. There were a lot of little problems here and there that made me dislike Tesla. Like driving to work then suddenly not being able to press my clutch pedal. Replacing and reinforcing the clutch pedal bracket. Looking through every little hose to find my coolant fluid leak. Replacing door locks actuators, and having that third gear crunch/grind/scrape. After a year or so of having this car, replacing all the little things, it turned to all love. With that said, I don't think I'd ever sell this thing, even though I'm considering buying an s2000 right now. I'd hand it down to family, but that's about it. Guess I better save up for a rebuild to keep her going.
Started off with this

Then came F&F coilovers and some rotas

Bought some vsxx, repainted bumper for a VIS euro r lip

Being the prissy pants detail oriented person I am, I didn't like the euro r rep's fitment... so I bought an A-spec lip

and this is her right now, sitting under the shade. I was playing with a new camera and some filters on the internet, so I hope you don't mind

what's on it:
F&F type 1
Work VSXX w/ genuine gold rivets
neochrome lugs
AEM SRI
Skunk 2 weighted knob
Aspec front lip
Blacked grill
CF vinyl wrap on roof
HIC roof visor
genuine tsx hood bra
ebay m3 trunk lip
What's laying around (in progress):
vis euro r sideskirts
vis euro r rear lip
3000k HID fogs
What's coming:
Reflash
Window visors
?????bigger vsxx barrels?????
I'm actually thinking of removing the rear roof visor, with all the little accessories I have I feel it makes her more "accessorized" or "flashy" of a feel instead of simply "clean". I plan to add some window visors soon because rainy season is coming, I'm not sure how it'd flow with the rear visor. Either that or I take off the hood bra?
Let me know what you guys think? thanks!
