Thanks optimus. I can't wait to install it.
I don't think it was super cheap for a used item. I've read all the pages of the PCD thread, and at least a couple of guys sold the thing because of the rasp (shame) for about $200. I'm pretty sure there were less than a couple hundred miles on those PCDs too; the rasp likely got to them real quick for them to want to sell it and not deal with it.
The nice thing about optimus's PCD is that it's ceramic coated, and for some reason optimus just seems like a down to earth kind of guy. It was nice dealing with him
I did try to snipe it though, no lie. I saw the thread, and I was like WTF, posted 2 days ago and I didn't even notice? I thought iCrap must've picked it up because he mentioned in a post a while back that he wanted the PCD too lol
Thanks optimus!

That's awesome! I've always had a passion for cars; from just wanting to mod my own car, to actually understanding/learning about the various parts and how everything works together. I've always had a knack for software/programming/computers though... so mech eng was a close second. Some days I feel some slight regret, but most days I don't. Hopefully some day I could contribute (via my profession) in an automotive setting like Honda. If I didn't have particular commitments/situations in my life right now, I'd come down and work at Honda with you!

next, i hope you have a simple way to clear the codes it throws. they dont come too often but do show up. lately mine has been throwing a code a month/ i use a OBD bluetoooth dongle and Torque the app. also readup on how to clear them from the nav if you have a tech model/

Nah don't worry about it.
He can fix that easily once the Hondata 11+ is out.
hopefully you will enjoy the rasp since you discounted it with the pipe not installed yet/ i had a resonator installed or mine would have been gone right away.

The CEL, yeah I've read about that too. Richie and thundertbt (is that his name?) claim of no CELs on their test cars, but every other person on the thread has run into the issue one time or another. Hopefully tightening the defouler all the way, while having it still pointed up, will do the trick. It seems to have solved the problem for many where the code was caused by not enough reads of the exhaust fumes.
But yeah, if/when Hondata releases FP for the 11+, I'll likely be getting it anyway, and I could just disable the sensor altogether. I suppose I can't leave that setting on for emissions testing (which is a longgggg way from now; 2013 TSX), but worse comes to worst I'll put the cat back on.

the defoulers have to be angled a certain direction in order for them to work properly.
when I first installed Richie's PCD's, always had a CEL. running too lean!
it was only when I broke the PCD's, is when I uninstalled them and re-installed them. somehow, I must have angled the defoulers in a different direction or something, but now, no CEL.

I watched the videos in the PCD thread... and it doesn't seem THAT bad to me. But it apparently drives many of those people insane lol. It's a 1k window between 2k-3k rpm, so if you do hear the rasp, you'll hear it often. I'm thinking I'll probably like it. The I4 stock doesn't exactly sound that exciting lol

No it's not that bad, you can only slightly hear it in low RPM range and accelerating more than 50%... and even then it doesn't sound bad if you are the spectator outside of the car.

Never been a fan of GT cars like that.
Would rather have an Aventador. Still pretty cool though.

I has a big problem. my steering is suddenly terrible. I'ts been driving a bit odd but now its REALLY bad. steering feels sloppy and loose and crap.
I'm thinking blown front struts? what could it be? what should i look for?

Is there a lot of play in the steering? I'd look a Tie Rods.

Yeah there is a tiny bit of play.. OK i will check those things. This is so weird.. It almost feels like i need another half lock of steering then usual for turning.
10-03-2014, 01:08 PM
steering rack, maybe?
any leaks found on floor? assuming tsx is using conventional motor driven power steering pump

No leaks that I could see when i looked under it this morning.
The TSX is using electric power steering is it not?
