I have had my new TSX a few weeks now. Thought I would share some pictures of it with you. I had the darnedest time finding a GBP. Only one dealer in a 3 state area had one available. I think it is the rarest color. I have only seen one other on the road (and there are many, many TSX's on the road in the NYC metro area).

Anyway, hope you like.

 

Kinda makes me miss my Meteor Silver Metallic 04. That car looked awesome at night.

Congrats on your new ride =)

 

i see red x's.

all your other cars were 5spd, i'm curious why did you opt for the auto tsx?

 

where r the pics?

 

Pics are posted (as far as I can tell).

My return to the world of left foot boredom was by choice. It was necessitated by the recent addition to my family and need for my wife to be able to drive my car. Despite my attempts to get her to learn, she cannot drive a manual transmission.

Actually, I have been curious to see if I could live with a Sport Shift auto/manual. As much as I love rowing my own, I have sat in more 2 hour traffic jams in the roads around NYC than I care to remember.

I have been pleasantly surprised by the operation of the sport shift in the TSX. I haven't driven an Audi DSC or a BMW SMG, but I have driven various other regular torque converter auto/manuals (including the german brands), and the operation of the sport shift in the TSX is crisper than anything else I have felt. Shifts are quick. In fact, during spirited driving, I really think the SS shifts faster than I could do it manually. Although that is not the case when a quick U-turn turns into a panicky K turn (and, as everybody knows, plenty of planned U-turns turn into rushed K-turns when attempted in a TSX).

Actually your question made me update the signature. There was another vehicle in my personal archive that I inadvertently omitted (my first manual transmission I might add). In some quarters, it was considered one of the greatest (cheap) cars ever made.

 

Uhmm... There aren't any pictures here...

 

Yeah I don't see any pictures as well..

 

Well they were there earlier. I wonder what happened.

Since I can't edit it because of A-zine's 5 minute rule, try clicking HERE

 

beautiful =]

 

I see, well hope you don't grow tired of the 5at especially after driving manual for so long and end up trading it in for the 6spd like some of us did <cough> me <cough>! Either way you got a great car!

edit: just saw your link, nice!

 

Very Nice - CONGRATS!!

 

Congrats! that one looks like my baby

I love the way that color looks. I wasn't sure when we were first looking, but after i saw it on the lot it was beautiful.

 

Yea, another in the GBM club! Congrats! We are a rare bunch indeed.

In California, I have only seen one other one on the road, and that was in norcal. I live in socal and haven't seen another yet.

 

No pics, but congrats on the car anyway FWIW, I'd say the new green color is every bit as rare as the GBP. I haven't seen one of those yet.

 

I see there are links in the original post but it looks to me like the links are dead. Perhaps yahoo doesn't like direct links? You can try to host the pics at http://www.imageshack.us, I know for a fact that it works.

Oh, and one last thing, wrong forum. Moved to Photo Gallery.

 

congrats on the car!
fwiw, our local dealer has a gb on ebony interior as the loaner.
wtf was he thinking?!
if that had been in stick rather than auto, i'd peel off the loaner stickers on the window and steal it.

 

Only one? maybe it was me then, heh, though i've been up here in washington for the summer. Its such a sleek looking color, i'm surprised its not more popular.

 

nice color. u dont see that color around much. i wish i would have purchase that color instead of SSM. u see SSM everywhere u go. so that is why i like that color. unique and cool. i luv it. so what is going to be your first mod?

 

As I type these very words, my ECU is in Torrance, California being worked on by the computer geniuses at Hondata. That and a K&N drop-in filter will probably be all I do to the car.

I just hope it's a little cooler when I get the ECU back. I nearly melted taking it out earlier this week in 102 degree heat.

Again, for the people that might have missed it in my earlier post CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PICTURES I TRIED TO POST EARLIER

 

Thats a good start. May I also suggest you upgrade the RSB?

 

Upgrade the RSB?

Feel like a noob, but I don't know what an RSB is (and the search function did not help!)

 

Oops, sorry. RSB stands for Rear Sway Bar. Comptech (what I have) and Progress brands come to mind. Try search terms "Comptech" "Rear" "Sway" and search thread titles only.

 

rear sway bar, stock RSB is 15mm sad...

now glacier, try looking for ABP / 6spd with navi took me over a month..

 

Congrats on the new purchase. I had to wait a couple months on my color combo also - PWP / Ebony / 6MT / Navi.
