Another update on my car: got a refund for the cracked aero bumper, even though it's still sitting at the shop....the shop ordered an aero bumper directly from Acura and they're gonna cover the difference in price. Plus returned the Optima rental that stunk like someone smoked a carton of cigs in, and got an Altima as a replacement.

Nope definitely not. I think that might be the pointless thing I've ever seen.

^ Stancin on a budget?

I really don't hate the camry SE that much but it's such a basic car and after all it is a toyota. (crappy build quality)

iCrap

such a POS.

Mercedes>BMW

My parents were going to get a Camry SE before this but I made them check out the TSX and that's how we got this TSX. This car is obviously much better than a Camry.

I saw a camary xsp yesterday at a toyota dealer had super agressive bumpers and dual exhaust with quad tips. Those things looked ok then I saw the fake big brake covers ughhhhh.

Mercedes>BMW

fuck. Acura battery is going out again? I just spent more than an hour washing it and this is how it acts! Oh wait.. Lol maybe water got into something (it had trouble starting) I was very anal cleaning it.

lol at trying so hard to be like us.

acura rulez.

cept their failing in sales with the ILX vs the CLA...
stupid acura.

iCrap

The OEM battery is so terrible. Replace it with something else.

iCrap

Front vinyled and P2R TBS installed. No idea if it did anything.. still need to drive it for a bit.

^That's gorgeous.

LOL at the XSP camry.. It's prob. 30k.. Who pays 30k for a POS Toyota?

iCrap

Thanks! Took forever to wrap that damn thing haha.

Great job on the wrap iCrap. I still need to find time to take the plasti dip off mine and wrap it gloss black.

iCrap

Thanks!
I think actually wrapping the piece took an hour, but taking off the bumper and dissembling the grille also took a while. Then i also polished and waxed the upper part.

Mercedes>BMW

LOL. I doubt it was the battery, I think water may have gotten in something (I sprayed the front and undersides a lot). Directly hitting the front but now its fine.

Based on my posts I'd say that I must work for the aftermarket industry

TSXy Luster

You must have millions of gold watches for being the best salesperson there!

ceb

Yep - a bunch of gold Rolex's from Canal Street.

iCrap

So after driving around all day with the P2R spacer... i can't say i really feel anything different (i expected that though). I do notice a bit of a different sound though.

Saw one of these bad boys in the wild for the first time. Really easy to pick out of a crowd with those sweet jewel eyes. Good news, someone actually bought one!

Harper

Someone needs to retrofit some jewel eyes into a tsx.

Mercedes>BMW

RLX isn't selling? why? Makes no sense... it's a very nice car for the price.

iCrap

I can see why... its under powered and FWD and it's got that weird dual screen thing that people don't like.. and P-AWS is a POS.
For a car that costs 50k minimum I would not want that. What is it even supposed to compete with? 5 Series and E Class?

VR1

IMO the problem as stated above is it's fwd and underpowered. Can't wait for the SH-AWD 377hp Hybrid Version.

My parents went from Camry XLE to the Accord Euro/TSX (both the same price - $40k cars in Australia). It was a noticeable upgrade: the quality of the interior, sporty drive, 10 speaker premium audio system (even on the base model) vs the 6 speakers on the Camry. I hated driving the Camry after that and would never buy one again.

We traded the Camry for a IS250 ($80k - 2x the price of the Accord Euro in Aus) and even though things were better, they obviously didn't dictate the same value as the Camry vs Euro/TSX comparison. It's such a shame it's getting discontinued though.

I'd love to pay the prices that you guys get for everything in America

and I would like to have a sabatical every ten years like the masses down under

iCrap

Since when has the TSX had vents for the rear passengers? is it a tech package thing? or 11+?

PyroDave

11-14 got vents inside the arm rest thing and for the rear passengers

Here is my ebay archive......2 of my best TSX buys

the front lip for $95 with the shipping.

and the steering wheel for $13 shipped

iCrap

wth $13 shipped? new or used?

robpp

iTrader: (2)

Used but perfect.

opboarding

This was well within city limits and no where near the countryside. Texas as fuck.

Mercedes>BMW

Why is a TSX's steering wheel $13? :o

iCrap

The guy probably set starting bid at $.99 with no reserve and not many ppl bid on it.

Mercedes>BMW

gtfo... Oh wait you don't mean the leather part that you put your hands on do you? If that was $13 I'd buy one so quick.

needs more low

should tell that horse you got 200 of his brothers under your hood.

iCrap

My car made such a horrible grinding noise on startup this morning pretty sure it's that damn VTC actuator. But the dealer won't replace it...
