lol yeah, fun car though. I actually really liked it

 

whoa what happened to that rdx...

 

 

Some girl in a Accord ran a red light near UH, hit another car which spun and smacked into it :\

 

Stupid cars. Always running into things.

 

Got quoted $330 OTD for the ILX 6 speed manual lease...might be bidding you all farewell soon.

 

good riddance

 

WHY ARE YOU LEAVING US?!?!?! what did we ever to do you...

did u test drive teh ilx yet?

 

I'm not leaving, lol....I just won't own a tsx anymore...if when I bury the negative equity, the lease payments come to a number I like, then I'm going for the gusto. I'll still troll these threads.

 

I need to get a new chair. What do you guys think of this one?

 

I like this better

 

bean bags.

 

Bags of beans

 

all you have to say is earmuffs then you can say whatever you want

 

simon, i hope you saved that turbo and plan to drop it into the tsx

 

lol I sadly I didnt salvage anything from the RDX >.>

 

New Honda Accord pics are out...




and coupe:




what do you guys think about it?

 

looks the same shit.



oh, and i researched the k23 motor.
it will not drop into any other chassis other than the RDX.
you would have to create all new mounts, find a suitable tranny, as the rdx is SHAWD, etc.
in other words, you'll spend a lot of money trying to drop in the K23

 

Yeah, I remember reading about someone trying to drop the K23 into another car; didn't work, waste of $$$ on the engine. I actually posted a thread and asked about this quite a while back. But here's a question: if the engine in your TSX suddenly went out and you decided the replace the engine not the car, what engine would you guys drop in it?

 

New Honda Accord is very very very boring. Looks the same. Honda USA is getting lazy with their designs....

 

the only one that would fit.

 

^IIRC, someone on the club dropped a different, more tunable engine into their TSX? I forgot which engine it was though

 

these motors arent like back in the day.
every one has different mounting points/ not to mention tranny options.

the 3.2 and the 3.5 TL use different tranny housings.
impossible to do a swap unless you're made of money and can fab up stuff like ths.

so, if my motor ever dies, the only one that would fit would be another 3.2 J series.

it would be interesting to see what engine the guy dropped in on the club forum

 

Yeah, just looked it up, he swapped a K24A2 into his TSX. Never posted results though.

 

I dont think the accord looks bad at all. The head and tail lights are a lot less bubbly. I think its a decent update overall. Not too drastic, but still enough to make it look a little better. Those renderings always make the car look a lot nicer, so we'll see how the real deal compares.

 

wait, im confused...dont your cars come with K24s?

 

The new accord does what it needs to do...be a conservatively designed vehicle to counteract the more polarizing designs from the likes of the ford fusion and hyundai sonata. Will be interesting who ends up on top.

 

we have a k24z3, not the k24a2...huge difference between them...namely better head design in the k24a2, allowing for vtec on exhaust came...wewt!

 

the coupe really looks great!!1
thats sad, cuz i'm a sedan guy

 

Gotcha!
I really want drop in the 3.7 all wheel drive motor in my car.
intake and exhaust variable timing!!!!
still a SOHC, tho...

 

accord looks the same. just little redesigns with the front and back end. are those led's in the headlights for both sedan/coupe? why would they throw that into the accord but not the acura line up?

 

Doesnt look like LEDs.
Acura is doing the LED's behind projectors...via RLX. and NSX

probably will trickle down to lower end cars.

 

Justin I didn't mean completely different engine lol. The K24A2 has VTEC on intake and exhaust sides, with extreme tunebility and parts galore. I think that's why he did it

 

i dunno...the bottom of the headlights look like led fixtures to me? does anyone else see it?

 

They are LEDs. Honda press release confirms it.

head, tail, and daytime running lights

 

that's cause they are...just read the press release

 

Whaddafuck. can anyone say retrofit?

 

PyroDave, I hope you burn in a fiery hell...lol, jk. So I reached out to your guy for an ILX, his quote: 6-speed manual ilx, 0 down (like walk in there with no money in pockets), 10k per year, and 39 months for 365.

My guy in ct: 330 a month, 504 down for reg and dealer fees, first month payment paid, 10k per year 38 months. My total comes to 460 with the tsx's negative equity.

Once someone buy my downpipe, I'm gonna hop on my guy's deal. I don't mind paying an extra 35 bucks a month for a manual car with the same features (save for a power seat / memory seat).

In pyro's defense, i think a lot has to do with the difference in tax between nj and ct.

 

accord:

sedan rear looks like the 2007/8 RL

coupe looks like a kia optima. :/

and wtf they get led goodies.

 

for our tsx, you can always do a Frankenstein k series right? haha
