yup.. and the taddle tale black box transmitts your recent top speed to any police vehicle within a 200 yard radius, via 802.11b as well

 

It would be interesting to get total engine RPM and total hours on the engine from the VID, instead of losing it with each reset.

 

At first, I didn't know what those little buttons are at the bottom of the seat backs in the back seat.

Then, I was on page 1234 of the owner's manual and discovered that they are crotch sniffers for strangers you might offer a ride. If you hear a sound from the front speakers that sounds like muffled laughing by the Voice Bitch, followed by a "clapping" noise, activate the EJECT button located under the driver's seat. (This feature is only on Navi models.)

XP
:devil: made me do it.

 

I had a girlfriend in college that wanted to drive my car at the time (a 5 speed Mitsu eclipse). She accidentally went from 5th to 2nd and got the engine up to 8k rpm.

Luckily, she pushed the clutch back in before the engine grenaded. No damage done, but that was the last time she drove my car!

She also had a stick car, but it was a 4 speed. I guess she just wasn't used to that extra gear up top.

 

Dude, don't take into account that everything that you read on all forums are true. It's up to you whether you want to be gullible or smart enough to distinguish BS from the truth.

I do remember that RSX post though, but it's proabaly some dumbass' first time to drive a manual.

 

Thanks. What I find amusing is that, amidst all the silliness in this thread, some people are actually trying to have a serious (and somewhat heated) debate.

Since I've already graduated from college, I personally consider myself too old for tire spinning.

 

That's the spirit, XP! And here I thought you were this sniveling little candy ass of a man, based on some of your other posts. I see now I was wrong. Waaaaaay wrong!

 

My re-post was to your Q...

 

It's pretty easy to see actually, rpm vs. gear will tell you all you need to know.Data logging has been doing this in race cars for quite a long time now.

 

What year is your car? When I bought mine they had a program available, tire hazard or something along those lines where you pay 150$ and for ANY reason if your tire's blow out or you need new ones they will replace each tire once, but only once. They due this because those Bridgestone Turanzas cost as much as it does to father a baby lol. But, I think they only made this program available in late 2005 or in 2006.

 

Just to clarify...

People need to get the whole OBD vs. Black Box thing correct.

EVERY car built from 1996 on has OBDII. This is On Board Diagnostics II (2nd generation). Some cars prior to 1996 had an earlier version. There's a port under the drivers side dash were you can plug in a scan tool. I have a cheap $100 handheld model from Autozone that gives codes and basic diagnostics. Dealers and better repair shops have expensive models that diagnois a sh*tload of things.

The black box is what everyone is all worked up about and collects data after a crash.

 

Straight out of the 2007 TL Manual

Event Data Recorders:
This vehicle is equipped with one or more devices commonly referred to as event data recorders. These devices
record front seat belt use, front passenger seat occupancy, airbag deployment data, and the failure of any airbag
system component. This data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone else except as legally
required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.

Service Diagnostic Recorders:
This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record information about powertrain performance. The data
can be used to verify emissions law requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains confidential and is never linked to
the vehicle owner.

 

Not sure if this has anything to do with this thread, lol but my front tires are worn really bad. but i know its partially do to winter driving...there's lots of hills in my town and getting up them sometimes means a little tire spin on the way up......my alignment is off now and the inside tread of my front drivers side tire is nearly bald where as the outside tread still has some meat to it...I wonder what Acura is gonna say about it this friday when i have them look at it

 

One of my boys works at Acura and he showed me all the crap on the system they use for the car, it records how many times the redline was been hit between gears...... in time and few other measurements. Im sure they can determine how badly the car's been beaten...... on my friends lease they actually shut the VTEC off because he beat on it so much. =( If you have the modus system from snapon you can also view all the things it records.

 

which part of the 07 manual did you see this? and is it also in the 06 TL's?
