muahahaha - driving the rsx around is actually pretty nice aside from ricers tryin to get on it - blah those cam lobes sound pretty sexy when vtec kicks in and it only has an intake on it right now haha...plus having subs - ohhh i need mine in my car ASAP



haha i always get 15 mpg...well 19~20mpg on the freeway at my crusing speed...guess that explains my insurance being what it is. i mean not bad but 235 a month...if my insurance finds the rest of my record


and hey the TL -S has WAY more power than the TSX...cant go wrong it was the whole reason for my upgrade...TSX only ran an ummm 15.7 i think it was...i doing one of these to someday run a 13...9 at least - its possible right haha


hey mine did better then 15.7.. on a non oil change.. crappy plugs but not much.. i think i squeezed a 15.2 on my last run.. but i cant go back to the tape because someone sisnt record it HAHA

my 3rd run was the fastest so if the second what 15.3 then it must of been a 15.2

i bet if i had a perfect run i could of squeezed a 15 even.. (goal is 14.3 this year)

i have the catch can already installed i had it in for the races which is funny cause someone walked by when my hood was open and couldnt figure out what it was thought it was NOS haha....

and damn i must of been tired last night my spelling sucked!! haha

didn't know you wanted to do one... you can do a home depot oil catch can. very easy, simple, and costs less than $20. haha..


https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-performance-parts-modifications-126/oil-catch-can-v2-655169/


this is called JTso's oil catch can mod. i had the v1 version in my tsx before and its much better than greddy's filterless oil catch can.

I just need to see where it all hooks up.

I don't think a catch can should be that much different from a TSX to a TL. You just need to identify the two lines, which a helms (wrong spelling) manual should show you.

Go to powells, pull the manual and photocopy the page you need

So i just installed the Home Depot Catch Can mod.

Right now its not a clean install, want to make sure i have everything right before i make a bracket and cut all the lines down.

Also, removed my trunk tray/liner so i could use my cargo nets.

So if any of you 3G TL'eers wants to take it off my hands. Its yours just come pick it up. Nothing really wrong with it, normal wear for a 4 year old tray.

Let me know shortly or its gonna become a tray for the cat box.

No they are not kinked, just super long with alot of "low" spots that the blowback could pool in.
