Well I need some help. I found out the tsx motor is a 2.4 but the interals are different as well the ecu so I can not use the super charger on my accord. So I'll need a new motor the v6 or the tsx 2.4. The v6 I think I'll need the entire drivetrain could anyone help me find it?

Don't put something down just because you don't like it though..

I commend his effort but I would've suggested starting out with a smaller scale model and a little more preparation. It could of saved him a lot of work. A few trips to the junk yard to gather some pieces to start off the car before needing to drive around with hot glued foam could saved a lot of time.

To the original poster, I think you've come along way so show us all what a finished product looks like. I just can't believe you attempting this on something you drive around everyday. As for the supercharger and motor swap-- research, research, research. Finish the body work and make it stable/durable before you drive this thing anywhere fast.

I completely agree with you. I should have started on a die cast model of the car first. But I thought of this way after I started. And also I planed on this for four months before I started and still had no clue what I was doing. Im really not sure what I was thinking when I started but it's been done. But hey I luagh at the old pics I have, you enjoy yours hahaha
