[TSX Cman]

I feel the need just to throw in a short writeup after the last couple weeks. We finally got all the snow melted and i took off my winter rubber so ive been having fun with my car.
As far as the regular subject of "the tsx could use more power" its only true to some aspects. In my normal day of driving, i dont know how i could be affected by adding more power. its a hard thing to explain but:
If you have your stock car, and you keep modding, you keep measuring power graphs and speed slips. they need for more power becomes apparent because your comparing it to cars that have the ability to go faster.

But what if we just pretend to be a little stupid sometimes, ignore the fine details and numbers. if you want to drive fast, you can go fast. its a nice feeling. maybe a CAI is in order to add that growl sound and fun, but i can say that i am so pleased with the power of my car. i can drive by cars taht are faster than me. but i dont have a problem.

Its only when you start comparing things directly. like racing and such. but if your not a race car driver, the tsx is one damn nice car to drive.

and ill note that i rev the shit out of my car every single day, and still get 400km a tank on the dot. oh well

a little thread of appreciation, TSX cman

I agree, but still gotta admit id love a we bit more power, car dosent need it, its one great car to drive, but Will I mind Hondata?....not at all, Its also just the person themself, Im sure id want my Ferrari to be able to go faster eventally lol, but oh well, we all have an expensive hobby

I have if not one of the most mechnically modified CL9 I know of and I can average easily 550 - 600 KMs per tank. Wow for 400 KM, you must almost redline the car at every given opportunity non-stop.

Just make sure you watch the engine oil and transmission fluids, brake fluids condition. A driving style like that would no doubt require an aggressive service/maintenance plan to prevent any problems.

With that kind of mentality, the Civic Hybrid would be considered "fast". Sure the TSX is fast enough for driving around... heck, it's even faster than half the vehicles on the road, but you won't find many TSX owners that wouldn't like more power under the hood. There's plenty of untapped power in that 2.4L... look what they've done with the 2.2L S2000 engine (240HP/162ft-lbs).

yeah and dont forget about teh f20c 240bhp 153lb/f out of a 2.0 engine. now that a tuned stock engine

I was strictly talking about stock engines, but that's a great example of what can be done.

those numbers are off the stock motor.

Sorry, I got a little confused... you're talking about the old S2000 motor.

very well put TSX Cman ! :thumbsup:

TSX is definitely not a fast or powerful car but definitely CAN BE driven quite fast ! it takes some use-to to "drive it fast"
One needs to get used to rev it hard like you do.

Its funny because couple of days ago i raced a guy in a brand new Accord (4cyl) and i was sure that i would kick his ass (My TSX and the guys Accord are both automatic) and boy was i suprised that the accord was right next to me, i got up to 80mph and the guy was less than car lenght behind me. aehe10

its always been a little strange to be getting 400km per tank. but its been consistant with my TSXs life so far. even when i was breaking it in and barely revving. if i baby the shit i get 475ish, and the slowness/effort isnt worth it for 75km. i know for a fact it should be better, but theres always the chance of chaos in every system, including cars not being consistant to one another.
i am a little apethetic to the situation just because i have larger worries in my life, but i suppose one day i should look into it.. i just dont know how

on a side note, ive taken my car to BC on 3 trips. usually getting 600-800 km per tank once on the highway. and im talking with the cruise control on at 140+.
strange systems, even in 6th gear the revs are still higher than youd expect at any speed.
