Super Charger is coming!!!!

This may be old news... but I haven't been on line for a while... anyway... I was at the bookstore the other day... and the new issue of "Honda Tuning" magazine (I think that's what it's call... Honda Tuner? Maybe? Anyway...) They featured an Accord Coupe with Comptech supercharger!!! I didn't have time to read the whole article... but it did mention that a Super Charger is on the way for TL/CL and TL-S/CL-S. About $4500 for parts only.... I think I rather pay off the car first.

Trannys did not fail because of boost issues. They couldn't handle stock use which indicates a defect or contamination. Maybe it was those changes they made for the 2002 transmission. The point I am making is for those of us who haven't had this issue, I don't think we should feel that it hasn't happened to us because of the way we drive or the combination of mods we have or don't have.

Burning rubber spinning your wheels puts a lot of stress on your tranny

Neutral drops also do

Downshifting at the wrong speeds does also

I kinda skimmed through the article... and didn't notice any dates on when it's coming out...

yeah right

You want to put a super charger on this crappy car with this crappy tranny so the crappy dealer can give you some crappy exucse, or better yet crappy reason why you car keep messing up. I'll save you a trip to the dealer and just tell you that the car is a piece of junk. I am very upset with my TLS. Tranny problems and 32K out the door. BMW 540, M3 1999, or GS 400 coming soon.

LOL... I just think he's upset... can you blame him?

As for the date, last I heard it was going to be late Summer, price tag of $4500, and putting out 50HP... not worth it IMO....

TOO MUCH MONEY, NOT ENOUGH POWER FOR WHAT YOU ARE PAYING, I AM SURE THAT THE PRICE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE EXPENSIVE INSTALL, WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY WITH ACURA OR ANY OTHER WARRANTY, AND OF COURSE IT WILL INCREASE CHANCES OF ANYTHING GOING WRONG WITH OUR ALREADY TROUBLED TLS.
