OO thx for the info. oh injen has some for cu2? i didnt know that. would be very interested. Whr can i lay my hands on those? Conversion to short ram intake would be great coz one thing im afraid is that the CAI sucked in water to the engine and BAMP! and the SOUND!
I've only been able to find them on ebay in america. Im pretty sure the Acura TSX is the same car as our Euro. Better to make sure before comitting to buying ( im waiting on a seller to email me back actually )

This one has international shipping for $130 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/INJEN...Q5fAccessories
$150 for international shipping sucks though. In May im going to America you think i should bring one back with me lol
See how it is 2 piece piping? For the short ram you just use one of those pipes or if you want you join the 2 and go traditional cold air intake.
I doubt an intake would be much of an issue with warranty but that's why if i were to go with a short ram like you said i would remove it before each service so they wont even know about it lol
Im on the lookout for a cheap short ram kit so i can just use the piping and put my own filter on it also.
How are the 6k HID's going for you? As soon as i get the car im getting them too :D
it took a while but i figured out how these guys did the grille mods for their euros. its pretty smart actually

(thats the page with the pics)
since we know that the grill is not removable (because u have to cut them off to install the mugen one) instead of cutting off the whole thing
they just cut off the middle piece with the badge and left the 2 on the top and bottom.
then they painted it like denot and then added a mesh grill behind it to stop debris. some of them even cut off and replaced the bottom grille as well next to the fog lights
pretty smart idea actually. also to get a cheap chrome sports grille like the modulo one (which is painted) u can cut all the pieces except the one holding the honda badge in the middle.
this is a cheaper and smarter solution because to install the modulo sports grille u have to cut off the 3 pieces anyway. why replace something that works just as fine. if u prefer chrome like myself, leave it and just cut the top and bottom. if u want painted like the sports grille, just paint it like denot did.
it will probably look like this http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/5...edgrill.th.jpg

then slap on some fake mugen badges etc etc
Nice find on the Injen intakes! Do you know if they ship here though?
i made a post asking for aus post in the acurazine forums. will get back to u when i get a reply.

is the white and black euro using the mugen front lip? i cant tell cause its so freakin white lol
The bottom of the range euro doesnt have fog lights, what do you guys think of these? Dealer would probably charge a fair bit for them as an option wouldn't they?
Obviously you wouldnt drive around with a red halo etc lol but you could make the halo white and the fogs work like normal.

Nice video above i like it! Still looks clean and fits in with the euro look.
omg nice find they look better than stock ones on the lux models lol
Furry, you dont need to cut anything o install modulo sports grille. Just replace the standard oem with the modulo one.
Also, problem with SRI is it will suck hot air frm the engine bay so there will be loss of power n not good for the engine. U will need proper heat shield to avoid this and to avoid defect (its illegal to have an open air filter)
i thought u cant install mugen grille unless u cut the oem one
i guess ill stick to k&N air filter lol
i still need help with wiring cables to the dome lights. is it possible to wire stuff to the fuse? or do i have to find and tap the wires for the dome light power source?
