Default Velocifero: 2006 Acura TSX 6MT w/ Navi

Aww snap!! Yeah I got a new car guys and sold the Accord. Hope no one is too upset. I'll still be here moddin the forum like normal. Nighthawk Black Pearl with black leather interior with no real mods yet except for yellow fog light bulbs, white LED license plate lights and an iPod interface for the nav. But I am looking at getting the ECU reflashed and an A-Spec suspension drop soon. Selling the Accord was bittersweet, but it felt right. Feels about as quick as the H22 but more torque everywhere. The ~34mpg highway isn't bad either.


UPDATE: Added the (hopefully?) final piece to the exterior, the Euro R lip kit. For now, I'll keep the old one pics in comparison.

Wow, that's sad. But good choice for a new ride. Did you end up with any parts laying around from the CD? I'll definitely miss the cd...how much did you get for it?

I got $4k for it. Less than what I wanted, but i sold it to a friend on here who I see every month or so, so I know it's in good hands. He's already dropped it and put 18s on it. For leftover parts, I have a sunroof visor and front LCAs left.

Damn,

you had no second thoughts before selling the Accord huh? :/ that's a shame.

But at least you sold it to get another Accord, a Euro Accord that is.

Too bad you don't have extra parts.

Thanks guys. I was very comfortable with it the moment I got behind the wheel; I felt right at home. Having virtually the same dimensions helps.

It's much more than a simple rebadged Accord lemme tell ya. Much more refined and luxurious. Like a pimped out Accord Type S.

Sad. I always liked your car. I also like TSX's.
