I've been tracking the gas mileage of my TSX and RDX using fuelly.com and the RDX is only 1mpg (24 vs 25) behind the TSX.

you do know that the engines use different technology and it's not fair to compare a direct injection engine with a rail fuel injection set up, right?
if the TSX used direct injection technology, you would be seeing higher mileage than the RDX.

24 is still way better than the turbo RDX. Pops averages 21, 22 max.

the reason the RDX gets better mileage is because of Earth Dreams.

And how are you going to install it? This cluster shows 21k miles. Are you willing to brand your title just to get a different cluster?

I recall kostantinos buying a used cluster. Although I'm pretty sure all he did was swap the lights and other components to his car's actual cluster.

you can actually take it to either the dealer or approved shops, and they alter the mileage to match yours. its just a computer, not difficult. doesn't fuck with your title or anything as the odo isn't tampered with

The '13 RDX doesn't have direct injection but it does have an extra gear and VCM. I'm not too concerned about the RDX, I think it's doing quite well for an SUV. The VCM really seems to help a lot with stop and go traffic.

I guess I need to do more highway driving in the TSX.

Ok, that's pretty damn cool. You wire the Nexus right into the Aux Audio or you connecting by Bluetooth?

Did they change the interior trim piece color btw? Yours looks way lighter than mine.

Edit: Oh and VR1, the SE center cluster has red gauges instead of the white/blue like the normal and Tech.

my trim was painted aluminium, yea. I did that myself.

I used bluetooth.... just so i could use my wheel buttons, but this ROM supports usb DAC so I could even use that.

Ah ok. Thought the SE cluster was the same. Not sure if the normal clusters do this, but on the SE rpm gauge, the little red marks next to the numbers (4,5,6,7 etc..) each light up as you pass the number. First time I let a friend drive my car he kept playing around with lighting them up in a certain sequence.

What TV package have yall bundled? Do you like it?
I have uverse here and it's pretty damn good for the most part.. I can play all my COD multiplayer download plenty of torrents and NOT SEED AFTER, and all the other good shit just fine.. It's a bit slower than brighthouse's fastest but I have the fastest att has to offer and I'm not complaining.. I'm not exactly a tetchy though.. And sorry for bringing old posts from the dead guys was in Chicago since Monday for my ladies bday and just catching up

Yeah. Looked like crushed ice that's dispensed out of a fridge falling out of the sky lol. Wasn't anything super serious that would break a window or anything. I think I did see one chip, not sure if it came from a road-trip or the hail though.
