Lol dafuk kind of logic is this Acura? Atleast give us the other 4 more hp so we can be even, if your not going to give us more.
Why would you give the heavier car less power?

#AcuraLogic
you're usually spot on and level headed, I see you running with the big boys in Car Talk.

except, you forgot about gearing.
the 8DCT provides close ratio gearing.

So, even tho it is a heavier car; Honda uses gearing tricks to scoot the car into 1st gen TSX territory.

Whoops, my bad! I accidentally deleted part of my post so the wording was off.
I wasn't comparing it to the new ILX, but I meant that my friends 2006 2.4 TSX has 5 more hp then my 2.4 2013 TSX does. If we had the DCT also, I wouldn't be complaining, but we have the 5 spd! WTF! The 2006 TSX has more HP then the 2013 TSX.

I really like it. I like the new grille and the headlights are super sexy. I'm not very opinionated on the engine/transmission and think it's fine.
This forum is very public so I cannot say what I do, or do not know about Honda designs. But just remember that any manufacturer (including Honda, the big 3, and any other automotive) have a very short time to introduce new features on a Minor Model Change. I can speak for everyone at Honda that we are working as hard as we can to give our customers what they want!

Bwahahaha! Gotta get some ratchets duuuude smh sigh. U tried just grabbing the outer edge of the bolt and pulling in the tighten direction?.. Seems like u have tried quite a bit to get it out.. Dude a hacksaw is your best bet and just saw through the socket but that's going to take a lot of sawing.. Sucks dude sorry.

Attempted the roof but the wrap folded on itself, and we couldn't fix it. Ended up doing a stripe with the rest of the wrap lol.

Forgot, but he split the whole kit with a friend. His friend wanted the bags, and he wanted the system lol. We spent like 8 hours total swapping the system out. This includes running to stores to get fittings lol

not a fan of stance and all... but these guys from Belarus know how to do custom work. None of that lumpy shit. Might be a repost... 2012-2013.

Acura TSX 2010. The first stanced in Belarus - Page 3 - StanceWorks

Post 72 and onwards. Post 78 gets more intense.

iirc he actually imported the TSX from the US to Belarus.

Vibrating noise when stopping in drive, or going into reverse.. Any ideas? I think it only happens in the morning.
