Aluminiumed out my interior trim. I think it looks nice (and matches the pedals) but it scratches really easy. I'll probably eventually wrap the peices or something...

lmao not aluminium foil. It's some metallic rustoleum stuff which i guess has metal particles in it. here is what it looked like before (this was plastidip but it did not hold up).

Aso phone mount is a proclip trim peice adapter, which is made for the TSX. then i bought a adjustable phone holder from best buy and put it on the adapter. Its very sturdy and removable.

Oh and pedals are some ones i got from ebay for $27. I still have the link somewhere. but i don't think they are the OEM ones. They came new in a nice Acura branded box though.

How do you like the position of the phone mounted there? I considered ProClip but also wondered if requesting for the RHD version so that it is nearer to me. I think it's a bit dangerous to look down and to the right when driving vs. less dangerous to just do a quick look down or peripheral.

Not sure, haven't seen the movie.

At the christmas party every year one of the prizes is to drive his other newer ferrari around for an hour or so. He would probably let you choose one of his other cars too, just not the rare vintage race cars.

I like that position. I rest my hand on the shift thing normally so its not far to press something. I use the phone for GPS a lot and in that position its easy to just quickly look at it.

wow I've never noticed the back from that angle looks like a Chris bangle butt BMW (E65 or E66 7series). I always thought the new accord was ugly but so is the old one.

And that is really the only thing good about it. I was shopping for a DD and drove one. I haven't given it a second thought. Not to mention the "Sport" model is still sub-200hp.

I miss my TSX 6spd. The ex wife has it now and she dropped it off for service today. Compared to the S4, it definitely feels lighter and more tossable. Also loved the thick rimmed custom steering wheel I have on it as well. Sad part is that she curbed check the FrogedStars and the car was covered in bird shit However, I changed the oil, vacuumed the interior and gave a bath. Til next time...

just messed around for 45 minutes taking those dumb caps off the footwell lighting.. Lol didn't need to drill a hole, just took the caps off. Looked for some tape to hold them in place, couldn't find any. Lol used some bandaids, guess I am creative, it worked. Could have taken 5 minutes but I had fun playing with my XM.

Just spent nearly 10 hours (2 days) installing KW coilovers on the S4. It's way more time consuming compared to the TSX. However, ride height adjustments are much easier. Gotta give props to the Germans for over engineering. If I were to install it again on another S4, I can prolly knock it down to 3 hours since I know the tricks and without wasting time scratching my ass figuring shit out. Check out my improvisation without help... Using sledge hammer handle and wheel as leverage to press down on rear suspension.

Having said that holy shit reading 10 pages of nothingness is intense.

That new Accord wins, the modding community has really taken to it. The white one with an all red interior wins, I think it was an accuair car.....
