Actually, if I had bought an '06 instead of an '05, I probably WOULD have RBP...

We are two weekends away from weather forecasted to be warm enough to polish and wax. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm not sure if you have clayed before, I'm an expert having done it once and although that was a joke, it is also partly true because it really is pretty simple to do.

It filled only 14 gals...so im assuming theres at least 2 gallons still left in there, maybe a gal or so is in the gas pipe to the engine?
Thanks, although I hope not, I suspect that I will put it to the test sometime.

dont let your gas run dry. Once the light is on, or just before you should fill up.
It is not good for the car/engine when you let it dry.

You putting your oem rims back on, or getting new ones for the summer?

At the moment the plan is to put the oem ones back on. I am going to look around a bit for new wheels and tires, but the hook with the oem wheels is that they are covered under my extended warranty.

I do like the look of my existing wheels so it will be tough to put them away for the winter.

So I got the car back on Friday, and the rattle from the windshield is completely gone.

The steering wheel rattle still exists on large bumps, and i came across a new problem - the sunroof rattles when the visor is pushed back all the way.

Apparently a couple of boardies said to spray some silicon crap on the tracks and I'll be fine.

They washed the car and it looked nice and shiny, but then it rained all day yesterday, so it's dirty again.

Stupid weird LA weather.

That's not something you really hear all too often: "I can't wait for winter, so I can put my winter tires/wheels on!"

Perhaps if you went and test drove an RBP it may help with your RBPWBS commonly known as Royal Blue Pearl Wanna Be Syndrome.

I guess that is kind of strange, but true. I will have to search for cool summer wheels that aren't too pricey.

I'd have to agree. The wheels look great from a distance. I actually like them better then the 04-05 ones

They also look much better in motion. If I were to go to 04-05 wheels, they'd have to be A-Spec. But I'd be more inclined to go for aftermarket 18"s or 19"s instead.


excited, it looks like this thread has gotten big enough and popular enough that we now have our own resident crank on the street corner, proclaiming to all who will listen that the world will end in XXX days.

Beats me why you would ever discuss locking out one of the most successful and active threads ever.

This thread is sort of like Friends and Cheers mixed together. It's about nothing, but something and it's a place to go to where you feel comfortable and from time to time learn something.

It's also about celebrating the great TSX and in particular the RBP TSX's.

Now back to feeling comfortable.

Finally a second TSX in the parking lot. It's a 04/05 silver TSX with an OEM spoiler. I will have to try and meet up with the owner. I'm not sure if there is a way to tell a Cdn 04 TSX from an 05 TSX?

I'd throw a little bit of Seinfeld in there too. It's a thread about nothing, but still highly entertaining.

In Canada we don't have the XM antenna. Hmmm, any other differences? I'm not aware of any.

A at me. My bad. I meant to write Seinfeld and wrote friends. Perhaps a Freudian slip with all of the good people you meet on the board.

Great game of floor hockey tonight. I was hoping that the guy with the TSX would show up but no luck.

The TSX is still getting lots of looks and I'm still getting a lot of great comments about it. This is one hec of a nice car we all have.

Please don't lock the thread until my RBP gets here. I've been waiting four months and now it's down to a few days.
