It arrived! Finnaly! =)
Yesterday my 04 TSX 6MT no-navi has arrived finnaly!!!
After one month of waiting and nearly 4 hours of customs clearing I could get in it and drive home =).
It was bought on an insurance auction and has no owner's manual in it =( Does anyone have an owner's manual in PDF? Could be really helpful for someone like me, whos previous car was an Opel Astra '96 )))))
Some impressions and pics will be added later =)

^^^the 6MT is night and day compared to the AT...we dont have the quickest car but having the manual tranny def brings some life out of the high revving k series engine...

as long with some scratches, though those aren't fatal =)
next wednesday gonna do the whole diagnostics of the car at the local Honda dealer and post the results.
It has 169k miles but the car seems to be in a really good shape! Everything works as it should and the interior is in a VERY good condition, sure it was rather dusty before cleaning but that is normal for a car that travelled across the ocean and spent a month in a container =)
And now some questions:
1) What should I pay attention to at this kind of milleage, guys?
2) Does anyone have a maintenance manual? (Already found and downloaded a parts catalogue for Acura cars, but no signs of maintenance manuals which can be downloaded for free =(
3) What is this round thing near the steering wheel?

Congrats on the new car.
The round thing next to the steering wheel is the sensor for the climate control system.
How much was the total cost for the car (car+shipping+any tariff duty)?

TSXFL, it costed me ~9800 in total and I'm really happy with the price =) Because the lowest price I've seen for a TSX in my area was 12k!
thanks for the advice, icemiko, I'll search there now!

yesterday my illumination for CD-player, climate and clock went out, al fuses were allright so I took the car to a service, that my friend reccomended. Hopefully they fixed it for only 50$ (they told me that it is a common problem and some kind of a transistor needed to be replaced)
