I agree, if you think about it we do the same thing. We take a 28k car and try to turn it into the cheaper Euro/Japanese equivalent. I had a Japanese friend who said that taking an Acura and trying to turn it into an Accord was "stupid".

To each his own!

No, those are def. 04/05 taillights. (You can tell by the grid pattern of the reflectors inside.) They just look darkened because it looks like the've been tinted, maybe Blue Batmobile's taillight overlays.

In a garage i was looking for a dirt on car and scraches. Found a little chip on a hood and rust int it, but fixed it with a help of a awl, rust solvent, and touch paint.

In a passenger compartment i have found a some stains on the roof trimming,
then i used an interior cleaner spray to clear it. I have cleared, now i have one clear spot So i decided to remove the whole trimming and to clear it at home. So how to remove it and not to break anything.
Btw the the "stains" were near the rear windshield, does it mean that it leaks?

Is there any incident when the rear windshield could leak ?

You have not been there in a while, a lot has changed. Though most people are considered poor by world's standards, there is a small percentage of people in Russia and Ukraine as well, that are VERY well off. My dad currently lives in Kiev (that's in Ukraine for those who don't know), and about a block away from him is a Maserati/Bentley/Porsche dealership and the entire 'downtown' area is getting infested with expensive ($100+ a meal) restaurants and designer (Vercace, Gucci, etc) stores. Of course they are not frequented by the common folk much, but just shows you there's people there that have no problem affording some expensive stuff. When the Maybachs were first released, they were sold out in Kiev before they even arrived into the dealerships.

Doubt anyone would be impressed by a TSX at this point, aside from the 'what's that' factor.

Haven't seen any TSXs, but plenty of Accords in Moscow. High-end vehicles are very common-place. I'm constantly telling my wife what kind of car we're driving next to! Very impressive. Not really unusual for Japanese brands to have a significant premium attached to the price. Ladas are still fairly popular - despite their poor dependability, they are easy to work on.

TSX uses 91 octane fuel.

Congrats on your purchase, but be careful with the fuel.Not sure about Russia, but in Europe there is diferent octane rating.
91 in US is about 95 in Europe.

U r right, its Euro Accord, but this vehicle is much more poorly equipped than TSX, and in Russia it has the same price like TL in the US.

у нас таможенные платежи на машину моложе 3х лет - как за новую (для tsx $9,100 ), старше трех лет уже таможня меньше - $7,200.

Я думал об аккорде, он выйдет дешевле, но он постнее, да и пошлина за 3 литра просто конская.

I doubt the moderators care.

Definitely get the TSX/Accord over the CL. More practical.

I'm reminded of a joke (don't know if it's true or not) about one of the early automated translators; they were working on "English to Russian and the reverse" and figured the test would be to put a phrase into one end, and then put the translated phrase back in and run it backwards. Compare the original input to the final output and you should have an idea how well the system works. They put in "the spirit is willing but the body is weak"...translated it to Russian....put that phrase back into the Russian-to-English translator and got "the vodka is good but the meat is rotten". So goes the story at least....

or as Google would say:

или просто использовать google языка средства и делать вид, вы делаете. Однако, если в переводе с английского языка как хорошо, так как одна ниже, наши российские друзья не имеют ни малейшего представления, что Google выступили с.

Я вспоминаю анекдот (не знаю, если это правда, или нет) по поводу одного из ранних автоматических переводчиков, которые работали над "английского языка на русский и наоборот", и подумал, испытание было бы поставить в один фраза цели, а затем поставить перевод фразы обратно и запустить ее в обратном. Сравните первоначальный вклад в конечный результат, и вы должны иметь представление о том, как хорошо эта система работает. Они созданы "дух готов, но тело слабо" ... перевести его на русский .... поставить эту фразу обратно в российско-на-английский переводчик и получил "водка хороша, но мясо гнилой" . Так что выходит история, по крайней мере ....

(I don't speak Russian at all, so I have no idea what I've just pasted into this post.
