Congrats Mroto, missed that thread completely, very well written.

The TSX is a blast to drive, I know exactly what you mean by things aligned perfectly, everything goes into slow motion.

The CTE Icebox, sticky tires, sports suspension along with the 6MT make my 80 km daily round trip commute to/from work a pleasure rather than a chore.

Where do you get 93 octane in CA?..... it doesn't exist unless you mix 100 octane race gas from a 76 station or or VP Racing with the CA default 'premium' gas of 91 octane. That will get you 93 octane. Is your ECU remapped to actually take advantage of higher octane? That 'icebox' is just an intake, right? (sorry for the ignorance, but I don't know anything about Honda motors.....)

Great story, you make me jealous that you had such a great option for coming home from work. My option is not anywhere close to exciting, and I would need to drive 45 min away to get that kind of experience.

Any plans for your Chinese knock off car? Fake Bently? or you going legit?

Thanks y'all, it was definitely nice to see, though I think they probably publish every entry they get.

turning japanese, I think you're right, it's only 91 octane around here. I was enjoying a Scotch when I wrote that thing, call it a Scottish artistic license if you will. Oh, and yes, the icebox is an intake.
