2G TSX Chat, Chit, and General Info Thread
VTEC just kicked in, yo!
However, I think you made the right choice. TECH wasn't exactly a cheap upgrade from base, so if you don't mind spending, do what some of the guys here are doing by getting the JDM double din bezel and putting in an aftermarket head unit. If you guys recall, CU2 Dan did this to his car (amongst a few others on azine). It looks pretty awesome IMO. FYI, the JDM double din bezel/trim is expensive. However, there are similar options that look as stock/good as the JDM double din bezel. Do some research in the Audio section of the forums... someone has done this already, but I forgot who.
Acura's navi is mediocre at best in this car. I wish I had gotten an SE and done this mod.

Does anybody use Chromecast?
Is it worth it, or more of a novelty?

EXTREMELY worth it. When it came out my cousin knew it was going to be a craze and it was going to be out of stock, he bought like 15 sold some for $75, some for $65 and he kept two. Its great and it works flawlessly.
Goodbye.

Well, I mean I looked up some reviews and they said the quality of streaming wasn't that great ( maybe they had poor internet?)
I think I would mostly use it for HBO-Go and Netflix.

$35 is a great price too. hmmm Ill have to put it on my list of ebay items.
Goodbye.
If you have nothing else that lets you access HBO GO and Netflix, then the Chromecast for $35 will be well worth it to you!
I can also link you to some cool stuff that lets you stream other tv shows and movies for free, etc...
When I first got it, I used it to stream DirectTV's NFL games for free and top quality (I do not have DirectTV

edit: ebay items?! Just be on the lookout every once in a while for a Chomecast deal that usually goes like this..... "$30 for Chromecast and comes with free $15 or more Google Play Credit".

chromecast is the BEST. there is even a program which lets you cast your entire screen off your PC. best $30 ever spent.

I occasionally use it to cast youtube vids, esp big movie trailers. Now, I use it as a HTPC to cast all the movies and tv shows I have on my hard drive without setting up a HTPC and I can also use my phone as the remote control, so no need for pc to be in the same room as giant TV.![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
im not at that point yet.
i really dont download movies.
instead i just stream netflix.
however, if i ever did start d/ling movies, i wouldnt need an HTPC. just use the chromecast
some one give/ship me a giant hard drive with lots of movies on it please!

Welp I think you guys convinced me.
My projector is hooked up to my PS3 so I use that for all of my media as well.
But I bought a 46" LED vizio a few years ago before the "smart tv's" came down in price so Im thinking at $35 it would be a pretty good deal to convert it into a "smart tv." I rarely use that tv in my room but sometimes its nice to watch a movie in bed instead of the couch.
Thanks for the advice dudes!

Your welcome, joe.
Let us know if you need more help when you get it.
This (http://media-apps.cc/android/) works well too, but you might not need it if you already have HBO GO and Netflix.

Op what did you use instead? Different leds or a regular bulb?
And chromecast is almost better than an Htpc Btw.. You can cast dled movies off your PC and it even sends the full 5.1 audio track. I hardly use my Htpc aside from storage space anymore.
Joe what projector do you have? I've been looking into getting one.

So I drove my friends 2013 Mustang and was highly disappointed... It's the V6, but even so, it felt so... mushy. Like, I don't even know how to describe it lol. It felt like I was driving a freggin Camry.... and even that feels better than the Mustang imo
Or I was just expecting too much out of it lol

My friend has a 5.0 which I drive a lot and just as you described it is how I described it on this forum a few times. Basically really mushy. Its feels super lazy and lethargic. Definitely not tight or slightly precise at all. Its like your like let's go this way and its like uhhhhh no.. Let's just go straight.. Not much feedback and pretty much 0 feel.
The V6 is a ginormous piece of crap. But they can be had for ~20-21k or much less when slightly used.. So I guess I'd take it over a corolla but not much else.
The FRS on the other hand will make you fall out of the door giggling when you're done.
