Had new wheels put on last fall, and tidied up the exterior a few months ago. Here it is - my Pilot's stablemate, all gussied up -

that is one clean tsx! i've always liked tsx's, but i'm not sure if i would ever buy one since they need premium fuel. how is yours on gas?

I do quite a bit of my driving around town as I have to travel to see clients, but I still usually get around 25-27mpg, including some spirited driving. If a tank is mostly highway, I see around 30ish.

Super Clean!!! Much respect, Luwin! Not many cars in the So-Cal import scene are into clean lines and absolutely no stickers with exception of the arrival of Bippu styles from Japan! I'm definitely loving it! Hey Luwin, is there ever gonna be another So-Cal Meet? I'd love to attend and meet all of you guys! Anyways keep up the good work! Both rides are looking pretty!

That's about what my wife gets on her '08 TSX.

What % tinting did you use on the windows? She's thinking of having that done to her car.

After looking at my car more and more, I had come to the conclusion that it was sitting a little high for my taste. If I wanted to fly over a dip or speed bump, that was what the Pilot is for. So I figured it's time to go lower.

So out with the Swift springs, and in with a set of Tein Basic coilovers. I went with a TL application as the front spring rate was higher, and all I had to do was modify the rear a tad to fit.

Here it is sitting pretty . . .
