My New Baby!

Thanks!

The engine is a 2.4L DOHC I-4 w/ i-VTEC. Using the new SAE standards of measurement, the car makes 205hp(153kW) at 7,000 RPM and 164 ft.-lb.(222Nm) of torque at 4,500 RPM. It really is not all that powerful, but it's definitely fast enough for me at this point in time.

I'm definitely planning on debadging the "ACURA" and the "TSX" in the near future. EDM headlights would be pretty damn cool, but we'll see. Maybe if you send me a pair Thamar. lol As for the xenons, I probably would go to a higher Kelvin rating if my current 4,300K weren't blue enough, but they actually are. Acura's are known for their blue/purple HID's, just like BMW and Mercedes-Benz, so I'm happy with them. I do want to change my fogs to yellow though, either using yellow bulbs(if I'm cheap which I'll probably do) or go for some 3000K fog light bulbs(if I feel like spending $500 on fog lights, which probably won't happen).

Definitetly, I heard PIAA makes some awesome bulbs.

As for making them the same color, I'm still not 100% sure what I want. I want yellow because I really like the looks of the first gen IS300 with their yellow fogs, but xenon-like fogs also look pretty good...hmmm...

Cool car, I like those TSXs, trying to talk my parents into buying one. They seem like they are alot of fun.

^^^ is that the one used on a best motoring episode,if so i love that car,lol

congrats ont he Acure,have fun with it.great car for your age

[gis]

ah in that case no it wasnt,but it looked very similar to that,think it was tuned by spoon.

[Zot09]

Thanks for all the compliments everyone!

Dani, it would be pretty damn awesome if I could tune my baby. We will wait and see, but as of now, I probably won't do much for the next year.

Gis, is the car you're talking about blue/yellow?

Thanks! I don't think your parents can go wrong with this car. It is comfortable, it has some sophistication to it, it has a bit of sport in it, it is safe, it is reliable, etc.

Maybe it was Mugen? lol

[T-Bird]

what I think would look great on your car besides the blacked out lenses (EDM and JDM) would be the mugen grill, I think it looks very agressive.

So I thought it was time to post some new pics of my baby! It's been a little over eight months, and I'm still in love with her(I have around 14.3k miles on her already!). I haven't done much to her since I got her, except I got my windows tinted a little over a week ago. I got limo in the back, and "medium" in the front(I was planning on 30% on the front, but the tint shop I went to didn't have percentages, only different levels of darkness). But I'm happy with it! Since I recently got a part-time job at a pharmacy, I plan on saving up money for mods. First things first(besides de-badgeing, getting white LED license plate bulbs(like the new Lexus's) and yellow fog light bulbs) is an Injen CAI, and Tein coilovers(not sure if I'm going to get Basics or Type Flex w/ EDFC). Then I'm thinking about a Hondata ECU reflash, and if I can ever save up enough money, 17" or 18" black Volk TE37's w/ Eagle F1 tires. Mmmmm Volks...

TE37 Time Attacks Mmmmmmmmm!

Here are some pics before I got my windows tinted(a few by me, a few by my friend with the E46)




And here are the shots after I got my windows tinted:

But who knows what I'll get in the future(I kind of want a sporty roadster like a S2K, or a sporty coupe like the 335i).

335i w/ PROcede ftw! lol

But seriously, I plan on keeping this baby for a while, I love her. If I could, I'd keep her forever. If I'm lucky(which I already think I am for being able to have a car like this), I'll get a new car when I graduate. No biggie if I don't though
