ULTRA high res Press Kit Pics
I bought the 2004 Acura CD-ROM press kit off ebay and it has some REALLY nice SUPER high res photos.
Since they are ment to be used in press releases etc I dont think its any different posting them on my website so...
I'll throw up an index later.. I gotta head to easter dinner.. when it done uploading there should be 48 TSX pics and 4 spec docs.
Enjoy

Thanks gfxdave99 for the awesome resource! I've been baffled by the engine mount control system in the service manual for quit awhile, as it's totally different than the traditional Honda system that I know. Now the tech info doc provided the answer. The TSX is such a well designed vehicle.
------------------------------------
ENGINE MOUNT SYSTEM
Since the engine is the heaviest concentrated component in a vehicle, and the source of significant vibration, the mounting system that supports it has a profound effect on interior noise levels, handling and overall driving characteristics. Isolating the engine from the body with "soft" mounts can make for good NVH characteristics, but wreak havoc on handling and driveline performance as the engine moves on its mounts. Conversely, locking the engine in place (like in a racing machine) is the best from a handling standpoint, but guarantees unbearable NVH performance. For the TSX, neither extreme was appropriate. The TSX uses a carefully orchestrated system of six mounts to combine impressively high levels of isolation with stable engine placement for precise handling.
Two mounts are placed below the TSX engine's center of gravity, and attach the engine to the front subframe, which itself is isolated from the car's body by bolted rubber mounts. The forward-most of these two "center of gravity" engine mounts is an electronically controlled hydraulic unit with variable dual-mode stiffness. It switches between a setting optimized for damping vibration at idle, and another firmer setting for higher speeds and rougher roads. The rear most of the center of gravity mounts is a non-adjusting hydraulic unit.
To keep the engine properly positioned during severe maneuvering, another electronically controlled dual-mode mount is placed high on the right side of the engine to tie it to the body structure. Finally, to carry the weight of the transmission and limit powertrain movement, a series of three mounts position the transmission.

Unforunately even with the great engineering, the car suffers from serious wheel hop on a hard launch. Only done it once, I would like to keep my axels intact after trying it.

Just as an FYI i'm taking the cd archive down at the end of the month so if you want that huge zip file get it now
PS that engine mount stuff is badass!

Very neat design. I actually bought some RSX motor mounts to try out. I later got my Helm's manual but looked at the pic and could not figure it out for the life of me. Guess they'll have to be sold as there is no way they'll fit.
