This car has a solid history -- the original owner was a doctor in Texas and he's actually the one who installed most of the mods. It was purchased by Randy Heckert here on the Galant board about four years ago, and I bought it from him about 18 months ago. I'll call out the mods I did with dates -- everything else has been there a while.
I’ve put 25k miles on the car since purchase and it’s been flawless. Runs great, sounds great, comfortable, economical, and fun to drive. Selling because we’re moving to California and only need one car, and I’m afraid this one wouldn’t pass California inspection with the header and intake. It has a current NC inspection and I’ve had no issues getting it inspected.
Engine:
CompTech Icebox cold air intake - new part installed 01/14
Weapon R header with high-flow catalytic converter - new part installed 01/14
Hondata ECU flash (more power, earlier VTEC, 7600 rev limit)
Unorthodox racing aluminum pulleys
Suspension and wheels:
’07 TL wheels
Hankook S1 Noble 2 225/45-R17 tires installed 12/14 - brand new!
Tein Basic coilovers
CompTech sway bars
Brakes:
New pads and rotors at ~120k
Stainless steel braided lines
Misc:
Front passenger door lock actuator replaced 01/14
New battery 06/14
Acura all-weather mats and OEM carpet mats
Tinted windows
Skunk2 weighted shift knob with short shift lever
Dynamat sound deadening throughout
Infinity reference 6.5” speakers in the front and rear doors - installed 10/14
Pilkington windshield installed 12/14
Grom audio aux/usb input with bluetooth
A few things to note:
The car was involved in a 5-10 mph front end collision while the second owner had it (aka - Randy ran it into a f***ing van). I have pictures of both the TSX and the other vehicle. It was obviously a cosmetic accident only and he had the parts replaced with all OEM Acura parts. I have receipts for the repairs. They did an excellent job on the repairs and it looks 100% as it should. The rest of the car has a couple small dings and scratches as is expected for it's age, but it looks 9/10. I get compliments on it constantly -- hard to believe it's a decade old.
The throwout bearing makes a short noise when taking off up a hill occasionally. I've never had any issues with the actual clutch operation. Took me months to even figure out what it was -- it's a very intermittent noise. There is some minor surface rust underneath the car on the suspension bits (LCAs, coilovers). It only had two salty winters during its life, so it's pretty minor.
More thorough pictures to come.
