The RDX drives very strong now and the increase in power -both with the down-pipe and then with the inter-cooler can be felt at instant throttle even before boost.
really fun to drive. I don't know if i will get through a full tank of gas before i put it in storage.
I'm also at the end of my budget for it for now. in the fall i will do brakes hopefully have the old brake rotors from the TL turned, and i had new pads for it that i think are the same.
will probably get it reflashed at that time, and see how far i can turn it up.
This is also in my ebay watchlist. Happy with the seat liner. (pic)
My dog had a back seat onramp barfing accident in the ILX on the weekend. im happy to say the seat cover made clean up really easy and held almost all the incident. nothing got to the perforated leather. -perforated leather is a nightmare for vomit. i replaced the rear seat once in the silver TL.
so i may pull the trigger on the trunk liner as well.

I have the OEM version of the liner. I love the fact that it's easy to clean and how it saves the plastic from getting scratched. I like how yours is more fitted and the diamond pattern looks great. It would match with my Amazon rear seat cover.

Wow the switch rotted right out of the body? I just came on here to search for hatch button issues as mine has gotten crunchy in the last two days and balks before opening. Da fuq?

Update for those with switch issues- the part isn't too bad, cost wise, but damn you gotta get after it before your hatch is too rotted to accept a replacement. ~$38 at Curry Acura

The switch still works
So after going to Costco and filling the rdx to the roof with no tailgate this is what I did.
I tied a string to the wire harness and pulled it out of the hole and plugged the switch in from the outside
Am I winning for worst rdx yet?

Oh and it's the tailgate that rusted away not the switch. The switch is still bolted to a bunch of rust. This will require a bunch of fiberglass work when the snow goes away.

Let's find out
This side doesn't fit the best in my 07
This is a 2017. The mat sticks over the trunk lip and latch area too far
Sure the sides fit a bit better but it's too long
***edit. The black interior is my 07 rdx. the white with parchment is a 2017 i tried my mat in. It already has oem tray

I have been feeling a single instance of a miss/pop about halfway through my 15 minute drive to work a few times a month. Not sure if its a coil going out but i may order 4 coils just for preventative maintenance. I doubt they have ever been done. No check engine light for it yet.

After using it for a week pretty rough, leaking garbage bags, moving furniture, etc. It doesn't fit the greatest but it does what I wanted it to like keep the wetness mess and muddy dog footprints off the carpeted area.
But expect it to not fit very well. See photo.
