After owning the TSX for a week, i found that my usual driving style has been changed. Whenever I am driving my TSX now on freeway and see some curves coming, I tend to press even more on gas pedal to make it go faster into the curves, sometimes even passing other cars in the inner lanes, and then there is a big grin on my face with the amazement and confirmation that, ahhh, there is not any body roll again during the turns... geez i am so weird and so happy now.

 

its good to say i know exactly how you feel

 

Have you been watching too much of that VW Jetta commericial?

I agree, its a fun car to drive is the best way to explain your new driving habits.

 

Get used to it. I've always been one to utilize as much potential of a car whenever possible. Every morning on my drive to work, there is this great 270-degree off-ramp that I just haul ass into and it's great because even if there are cars in front of me a good distance off, I'll have caught them by the end of the ramp. The car feels incredibly well balanced too.

Such fun to drive

 

yea, its great fun. whenever i see turns and corners i know my fun is coming. yay!

 

agreed, but for me, it's off the line where my "driving expression" is the most enthusiastic, but i have the benefit of more low-end torque than most. if you think curves are fun now, i would think that a springs upgrade would be in your future...

 

 

You do?

 

We've been doing this alot lately

 

Great minds....

 

you loooove each other, that's why.

just playing with my custom header, that's all.

 

:ghey:

 

does Dan know you are 2 timing him w/ Clutch? what about those special moments you spent together installing CAIs and at Mosport? does that mean anything to you at all?

 

:ghey:

Custom header, eh? Have you dynoed it?

Edit: We have hijacked the HECK out of this thread.

 

No please don't tell Dan !!!!


Ricecake if I were to have a :ghey: affair with a A-TSX member, it wouldn't be one of the MT snobs. I'd have to find another AT driver

 

Don't say that. You know you like teh sticks. Dan and I are MT.

 

MT drivers make me feel inadequate

 

maybe you are confused about your sexuality domn. i hear conflicting messages, you say you only like AT but your "true love" is MT. i would suggest some therapy.

we are trying to get a baseline and modded dyno, but b/w conflicting schedules and all that jazz, haven't been able to get up to teh shop:

I love an MT tranny but I love my AT loving wife more

 

I bet you guys have two cars.

 

Nope, just the one thats why I needed an AT.

New car coming sometime next year though.

 

Then she can take yours and you can get an MT

 

I don't think I'd want a MT CR-V

 

DOH!!

 

AND WHY NOT!?!

 

Here is some impression on a ramp in toronto(404 south exit to Finch W) with my different cars.

1, Volvo S70T5 - the car want to flip over when it go over 30km/hr and the ride is harsh as hell with rattle like no tomorrow!
2, Honda Prelude base - stick like a glove on the ramp even @80km/hr but the ride is very very harsh!
3, BMW 328i sp - exit the ramp @70km/hr with very smooth ride but a bit of bodyroll and rattle like crazy.
4, TSX with a-spec - I even dunno I exit the ramp @80km/hr, ride is smooth, no bodyroll and no rattle! I thought they repair the ramp then I took my 328i and go through the ramp again then I know the ramp is the same as before.
