paint a tofu shop logo on the side, enter the corners at full speed, and practice using as little countersteer as possible.

make sure you have a full cup of water in your car also

learn to dip your front wheel into the side of the road to ride the corner out so you pull off a last minute win.

for real though, if you wanted a car with more speed you bought the wrong car...

mrstak is right, you bought the wrong car bro. There are mods that will give you a little here a little there but I'm guessing by the two exclamation marks in your title, you want more than a little.

Hey Nick.
Please excuse those earlier posters, they can be quite the trolls sometime

That being said....you should look at this page.

https://acurazine.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=299

Every single thread in here is relevant to the question you've asked so just spend some time reading through them. Also, use the search function at the top of your page. It's very similar to conducting a google search.
Its very hard to answer you question because it is SOOOO vague. If you really want your car to be faster, my opinion is to make a custom turbo kit. BAM. Done.

Call the Russians. They make their 4cyls crazy fast with some home-made mods.



p.s. KillerG, like your new Avatar.

Why all the negativity? The OPEN wants more power, give him a more powerful sound

Stay in lower gears and let the engine rev more (assuming you've gone past the break-in period). If you're driving around the city, keep it in 2nd gear (if in AT, not sure about MT). You'll feel the speed.

I'm really trying to be helpful.

not trying to sound like a noob, but what's the "top speed" on a tsx (not rating, but actual)?
not going to ever go near that speed myself, but just curious...and yes I've googl-ed and youtub-ed "tsx top speed", etc lol

The Ploybook is awesome and better than my office iPad for a few reasons:

  • Better form factor. It fits in the cargo pants pocket.
  • Uses connectivity from the BB phone - no separate data plan or tethering charges.
  • Flash
  • Lets me use the BB phone keyboard to type on the tablet if I want. I can also use the touchpad to move the cursor
  • No personal data stored on the tablet. All data stays on the BB phone
  • True multitasking
  • Now runs Android apps as well
