wouldn't be so bad if my boss didn't procrastinate everything!
So what would be the point of a BOV on a stock RDX? Less lag or something? I am not a turbo person.

I remember when I got my DL at 18 a week later i went up to the mountains to go shooting.. i was coming back down off the mountain and thought hey i better pull over (so i can set up a CD to listen to) alittle since there was logging going on.. the road gave way and rolled down the mountain about 100 feet.. scared the bejesus out of me.. thought i was was a gonner for sure.. only thing that saved me was a dead tree 8 inches thick if it wasnt there i would of kept going another 400 feet into a reveane (sp?) had to climb out of the van through the back window since all the doors were stuck and run 2 miles before i found someone to drive me to the nearest place to call for help.. it sucked that day...

Just finished up my Christmas shopping earlier today. Went to a small-ish shopping center, and I swear I almost got hit four times in the parking lot. Twice before I got into the store, and twice as I was getting out. One I barely missed because some dumbass woman didn't think it was necessary to look both ways before pulling into traffic.
Honestly, this is why I try to get all my shopping done before the season even starts.

Ok all you automotive guru's, just in time for the holidays two issues with the TSX:
1. when making a left turn over a bump I get a clunky sound from the rear passenger area. I don't think it's endlinks though because the car still handles normal and it's not a constant thump... ideas?
2. God forsaken driver side seat heater toggle switch light burned out $#*()#)@(!!!!!

toggle switch is easy to replace.. i got the lights at radioshack and replaced mine.. check to make sure its the connection though.. i notice sometimes when i turn my on it doesnt light up.. then i give it a love tap and it lights up..
the bigger issue you have would have to go more in depth with.. is it only when you are turning? or have you noticed it going straight as well over speed bumps? also does it have to be a speed bump? does it do it while just turning??
when you say constant thump do you mean it keeps making a sound after the initial first thump?
is it a popping sound by chance then a thumping sound?

i dont think its a wheel bearing.. maybe CV? possible sway bar.. notice any grease on your wheel? when did you notice it starting to make sounds?

man.. it really can be alot of things.. wish i could be there when you hear it so i could try to narrow it down more.. you test your shocks?? maybe its bottoming out...

Arent you on OEM shocks?? i know the springs are good.. but if you are on oem shocks they might have worn out on that one side which would cause a thunk noise when it over compresses.. did you try testing the shock to see the travel on it? (open your hood and press down on the inside fender to see how it travels) while youre at it turn the wheel and do the same thing.. see if you can reproduce the same noise

so the thump noise only seems to occur after the car is warm. In the morning there is no thump at all but after driving for a while it slowly creeps its way in there....
You know it probably is a shock getting cranky that's causing it because I looked at the sway bar, fine, looked at endlinks, fine, exhaust is tight and hung properly, brakes look good, I mean there is nothing back there that could cause it but a damn shock !@$#@#@!
So may just have to deal with it until some cash flow rolls in.
