I think the RL has a Active Noise Cancelling system in-built to reduce the cabin noise, has anyone come across any such system for the TSX? I am looking for an aftermarket ANC system that could perform the same function of noise cancellation using the existing car speakers. Btw, I am planning to get this for my 2007 TSX. Let me know if anyone of you knows of any website/shop that sells this kind of system.

Replying to: fedlawman (Jun 26, 2007 11:47 am) That was my point exactly. Therefore you and I have no idea what effect running regular or mid-grade is having. In all probability, the timing is not being retrarded a great majority of the time and during this time, there is no downside. Also, if you don't live at sea level in a warm climate then you don't need as high of an octane level. Add to that the fact that the octane level is underrepresented in the pump number, and the "need" for premium in a normally aspirated mid-compression engine is dubious at best. Also, the lower flash point of the higher octane gasoline is what allows a higher compression ratio.

Replying to: nj2pa2nc (Jun 29, 2007 1:08 pm) The TSX was the ideal "sport/luxury" sedan for me when I bought it in 2003. Fortunately, I made the mistake of taking my TSX to a high performance driving school - and I caught the bug. After I had a couple schools under my belt and my driving skills had significantly improved, I became dissatisfied with the TSX's sporting capabilities. Rather than invest in aftermarket performance parts and try to make the TSX into a sports car, I decided to replace the TSX with a RWD car with more "sport" and less "luxury" (weight). I sold my TSX back to the dealer after 2 years and 18,000 miles, and bought a BMW.
