That would be much more useful in a RWD setup IMHO. 450 hp in a FWD is pretty much useless IMHO. Car looks really good tho.

Now add that setup and SH-AWD to the TSX and Si!!!

Same engine

Promising but same time the brain is from a different car + the lungs are from an LMP race care, it gives potential to the engine block if it can handle that much hp tho. But if you wanted a fast sedan the TSX is the wrong car to start with me thinks lol

That chin spoiler is that...a giant chin....ewww

Old news. We've been knowing this for a while. The new Si has our engine, which makes it possible new parts are well on the way for our crowd.

Since they were using the ECU from a 2006 Civic, they were able to use flashpro.

On the upside, it seems like Hondata's most important market is the Civic. They pretty much have the Flashpro available for every Civic base and SI 8th gen for almost every global market. If they're going to keep up with this trend, we should be seeing Flashpro for the 2012 Civic's. I don't think it would take a whole lot to make it compatible with the TSX's
