I found a DIY post for 1st gen, but can't see one for 2nd gen - did I miss one? Have a smashed lens on passenger side, and wondering how hard to replace - can I replace without removing the front bumper? I really don't use the fog lights that much - maybe once or twice in the 2 years I have...

Hello Everyone, I just replaced my Rear Wheel Bearings on my 2009 TSX with Tech Package. The symptoms: The rear would make a loud whining sound that would get louder as speed increased. Car also vibrated when stopping at high speeds. I got both Bearings from Amazon at a great price ($100 for the...

I recently ordered a fog light kit from my local Acura dealership and proceeded to follow a DIY I found on this forum to install the fog lights: http://www.tsxclub.com/forums/1st-gen-car-care/57764-diy-2004-2005-oem-fog-light-install.html I installed everything correctly and after I finished...

Hey everyone, I just bought my first car. Of course I went with the TSX. I love it so far. Its a 2012 with 30k on it. I was wondering if some more senior members could point me to some useful forums. Im interested in: General tune up Common problems/mistakes links to DIY maintenance/mods...

Hello fellow TSXers I didn't know where to post this so here i am. I recently purchased this but i am sooo confused on how to install it. I got the instructions but i am still confused. Did anyone ever installed it who can help me out here. thanks

Hey guys, Finally tackled my inner CV axle rebuild this weekend, hopefully this helps people as theres not many pics on this and its not that bad to do. Got the kit from HeelToe for the passenger side. I followed the DIY by goosemuerte located here and took MrHeelToe's advice and did not...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and a proud new owner of an 06 TSX. I recently bout Pilot Automotive Flexi LED strips from my local store and am installing it with my friend this weekend. I was just wondering if there was an easy way to wire them so they come on whenever I use my headlights. I'm not...

Recently replaced the AC Compressor on my 2006 Acura TSX and wanted to share some information that wasn't readily available. I found a partial DIY in the comments of a DIY request, created by craig.creationz and another on Acura-zine. DIY Threads w/ Pictures can be found here below but neither...

Hey everyone, so over this freezing winter my side mirrors decided to stop working. The driver side mirror will still tilt forward and back, but very slowly, but not left to right. The passenger mirror won't move at all. I wanted to consult with anyone who may have had this issue before. I was...

Hey guys so I was going to take a picture but it's pretty self explanatory. So I took my regular bulbs out of the door to replace them with LED ones. As I was doing this the actual holder that you insert the bulb into got pushed in through the hole its regularly placed in and is IN the door. I...

So I have about 6 leftover for the mirrors on the passenger and driver side. They're 3 LEDs in white. (Not exact image of them being used, just what I use these LED's for. Courtesy of ********* :D ) I commute from Vaughan to Toronto regularly. Close by Yorkdale. Unsure if First gens need...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum and I'm currently working on the BBK upgrade from the TL-S. I'm sure everyone, including myself, have done hours of research on how to make it work but I wanted to share my process and what I've done so far. So here we go! I wanted to go with the TL-S...

Hey guys, this is my first DIY so if something isnt up to par, please forgive me. I really like how smooth the TSX transmission is, but what I really don't like is the extra play in the shifter. You can buy aftermarket shifter bushings, but I like the soft feeling of the rubber bushings. So i...

aragrev7’s build Thread . . Having done many different and unique mods along the way, I’ve decided to start a build thread to lay out where I started and where I am now. This was my first car coming from two street bikes, so I really had little idea of what I wanted to do with the car. I...

Hi all, I just got my 2009 TSX base model with 6spd about a month ago and already had a headlight burn out. So I did hours of research to figure out what bulb I needed (dealer told me it is a $220 HID bulb, Canadian Tire told me it was a $150 HID bulb, Rock Auto - $65 HID bulb) regardless of...

Hello TSX drivers, I installed blue LEDs for the interior of my 2005 Acura TSX manual with nav! Since I havent seen a DIY on this forum for interior lights, I decided to make one. This is an easy mod, it took me about an hour to do (I was very careful). There is no cutting, soldering, or...

Hey guys, for those of you that may be interested in either replacing the stock sub with new one, or just removing the rear deck to tint behind that brake light, I may be willing to write up a "how to" if there is enough interest. I haven't seen a write up on how to do it yet so thought i would...

Just bought an new axle and finally fixed the clunking from a stop and vibration during 60 mph. I was going to replace the inner joint and boot but my outer joint was clicking as well so i bought the whole axle. Replaced only PASSENGER SIDE (right side) for 05 TSX. It should be similar for...

So I took local garages either charging a fortune or out right refusing to install my own brake pads as a sign that I am to do this myself. 'Hope this is useful to other TSX owners in the same situation. Must have tools. Brake cleaner ($3), Socket wrench, 12mm socket, new brake pads ($66 Hawk...
