I wasn’t a big fan of the cone filter that came with the TSX. The stock air box had been removed for the most part, and replaced with a generic cone air filter. Under quick acceleration the TSX had the adolescent-esque screen of the intake. I’m old. Er, older. When I was younger and first […]
Read more "CT Engineering (Comptech) Icebox"Skunk2 had an awesome Black Friday sale so I decided to take advantage. =) Some things were needed, others were nice to get for a great discount. After taking the TSX into Aspen Auto Clinic for a once over I learned I needed to replace the valve cover gasket and the VTEC solenoid gasket. […]
Read more "Skunk2 things for the TSX"The almost 13 year old steering wheel on the TSX was in worse off condition than my old 23 year old Integra sedan’s wheel. I’m guessing the past 3-4 owners before me may have picked at it until it looked like this. Since the TSX will be my daily driver, I couldn’t stand driving it […]
Read more "Almost like new steering wheel"So when I bought the TSX the navigation touch screen was non responsive. After starting the car, it would go to the screen where you enter the security code and eventually just dim/turn off since the code couldn’t be entered. The set of buttons under the nav screen and the little toggle switch also did […]
Read more "It was a friggin plug…"First order of business was to swap out the wheel/tire combo I bought the car with. They were far too wide for my taste. The Work Emotion CR Ultimate wheels look awesome, they just weren’t the right fit for me. The wheel specs are 18×9.5 +12. I was able to find a set of of Enkei Aegis […]
Read more "Out with the wide, in with the winter set up"So I bought a 2004 TSX, with 158xxx miles on the odometer.
Read more "So I bought a 2004 TSX…"One of the gifts on my wife’s Christmas list this past year was a set of coil overs for her 2015 Frozen Black Mini Cooper Countryman S All4. So I bought her a set of Megan Racing Euro II series coil overs (MR-CDK-MCC11) Happy wife means happy life! Lol. So what follows is what I […]

Read more "First timer’s experience buying a Certified Pre Owned from Mercedes Benz of Colorado Springs"So I’ve been on a wheel writing kick lately. Today’s focus is on Varrstoen. It seems this company is all about copying design’s, selling them at a fraction of the cost and saturating the wheel market misguiding new enthusiasts to the wheel world. Now, I’m no wheel snob but it comes to a point where […]
Read more "Varrstoen, supporting unoriginality"So I’m going to start off a new category about wheels… Wheels can totally change the look of a car, making it stand out from the thousands of same make and model cars out there. The price of wheels and new tires start off in the hundreds, commonly close to a thousand. But they are […]
