After going turbo, I am getting like 80+ mpg.

At least that's what the dash piece you are displaying says.

iCrap

lol what? why does it say 80mpg?

xtcnrice

lol optimus, seems like you're getting best of both worlds!

rawger

I hit nothing because I am a good driver...

BUT, the other day, I did cross the 43k mark in my car. I'll cry once it reads 50.

optimusaccord

The calculation is completed based on the TPS, and injector duty cycle amongst others.

My injectors are 1100cc injectors, so they aren't running high utilization at all.

I've got a few pictures that I have put together, ran them past Utah and Axion. Waiting for feedback, then I'll update the boost thread with them.

dropped my car off and i got a 13 TSX with tech as a loaner.

drove it and wtf, its so damn smooth. doesn't have the stuttering and such as my car. makes me thing tranny fluid?

iCrap

well mine is also sometimes stuttery.. I changed my tranny fluid already. so i dunno.

urbanstereo

also the brakes feel so much better as well.

afaik, the diff between the 11's and 13's are minuscule to nonexisitent

iCrap

Yeah there are no changes.
Brakes in my '10 suck some ass, can't wait to change the rotors and pads.

xtcnrice

i have a 13 tech and it's buttery smooth brakes are starting to fade though..

urbanstereo

go eat your poutine fries canadian!

urbanstereo

got quoted for 300 for the bumper respray. not bad i think.

I will do that soon and finally get my clear bra on. i need to live up to my award

xtcnrice

I dunno if this happens down in USA , but in Toronto we have a few sketchy dealerships. Basically most if not all dealerships don't do the resprays themselves. They have their own go-to "shop" for resprays and what not. Problem is, prices are quoted high, but quality isn't the greatest. People expect great results because, well, you're going through the dealership, and you expect your paint to be like the scratches or what not were never there before, and the colour (yes, colour) matches the rest of the car.

A few dealerships in Toronto have really shady shops doing the resprays (there are stories on TSX Club... many 1G TSX owners from Toronto are (were) active on that forum). There was even one story where they quoted the guy for a respray, but it was obvious the shop simply tried to touch up the blemishes. Anyone who owns a PWP/BWP that has tried touching up their paint KNOWS the colour will be off, even if the touch up paint is OEM. If it's at all possible, research where your dealership plans to get your bumper resprayed, and try to find out if their work is good or not. At $300, you could get a reputable, independent shop to do a respray for you. I suspect you're the type to get pretty mad if your front bumper ended up being a shade off from the white on the rest of your car, so just an FYI.

iCrap

DO NOT get your car resprayed by the dealer. Just as xtnrice says, they will take it to the crappiest paint shop ever. This is why my bumper is TOTALLY fucked.
The chip on your car was really minor so either touch it up or get somebody to do it for you, dont respray.


Also, took a corner really hard today and mid corner some orange warning popped up on the dash screen and went away really quick, no idea what it was.... any ideas?

xtcnrice

Yeah just touch it up if it's very minor.

OH SHIT

iCrap

lol

I know it wasn't TCS, since the whole MID turned orange.. not just the TCS light.

urbanstereo

yea you can't tell unless you are like 1/2 feet away (.3/.6 meters)

hood seems easy. 2 spots

urbanstereo

1. stability control switching on

2.

optimusaccord

Factory brakes are total junk.

I am ready to get sponsored for a big beautiful set by Rotora or RB or stoptech or whatever...

MC MiYoung3269

So I joined the 10k club yesterday.... and I missed the freggin picture

iSeeYouTwo

Now that you guys mention brakes, I noticed that in other cars the brake pedal is super sensitive.... like I tap it and it brakes. That isn't the case with my TSX, I have to push the brake pedal like half way before it really starts braking. Any idea why? Rotors+Pads are fairly new.

MC MiYoung3269

My brakes are kinda like that, but not as bad as you make it sound lol. It does "brake" when I tap it, but not a lot. Maybe it's just me, but I actually like the way it is Our CR-V has the sensitive brake pedal and I couldn't even pull up behind another car on our driveway without juttering while riding the brakes... Maybe that's just how the system is on the TSX

iCrap

Yeah that's how mine is. It's pretty crap.

and lol simon's vid. do you always record while you drive?

MC MiYoung3269

I try to just in case something happens and I like catching stupid shit lol. I also randomly start yelling and shit for fun sometimes too so it's funny if I get it on camera I just need to hardwire a USB cable because constantly changing batteries at my destination is annoying and having the battery die mid drive also sucks.

urbanstereo

i want those 44 seconds of my life back

rawger

First world problems?

LOL at the last few seconds. What did you say, why did he do a 360 in the air? Lmao.

rawger

I wouldn't mind having a dashcam either. Catch all the stupid shit I see on the road.

rawger

Yep, said this a couple pages back. Hell, I appreciate the brakes more on an Altima than I do on the TSX.

iCrap

Im planning on connecting a camera to my nexus 7 in-dash and using that for a dashcam, wiring it up with the camera behind the rearview or something out of the way.

I saw this while i was driving yesterday, tried to get a side view shot ( even more crazy ) but i couldn't

rawger

What happened, was he to fast for you?

But seriously, what the heck is that?

iCrap

I got along side him but he took the next exit

I don't know WTF it was. it looked like a bike...but it had 4 wheels i think... engine in the middle of the 2 seats.

Jaheri_cbp

Changed this piece of shit out today... Anybody else's shift boot start cracking and peeling like that?!

urbanstereo

for iphone users

anyone notice after the ios8 update, that when you pick a song from the playlist, instead of it being track 1 out of 100 or watever, it jumps numbers to like 50 or 32 out of 100.

rawger

I still have ios 6 on my iPad 3. lolol. Not sure if I should finally make the switch to 8. I heard it makes a few of the older devices run slow.

rawger

I know it's pretty common with Honda/Acura armrests.

iCrap

iOS 6 wtf? Do any apps even work on that anymore?

I remember when I had my iPod Touch 2 OSes behind half the apps didn't even work

rawger

Yeah, not that I have many apps on there, but the basic stuff like youtube, facebook, instagram all work. IDK I thought IOS 7 was kinda fruity looking and liked how IOS 6 ran on my iPad. Only thing that was super annoying was seeing that '1' icon on my settings app all the time.
